We're so afraid to die we willingly swallow everything the Powers That Be feed us. When will you be fed up, too? Sleep tight.

No, I don't swallow it. Most are so afraid to die they have sacrificed living. And now we are in an even worse mess.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteCouldn't have said it any better, Alex.
ReplyDeleteNot happy with what the world has become, but trying my best to make the best of every day I've got. Hope this new year brings joy to both of you, Blue and Alex...
May this year be a better one. Minor problem: we need to make it so.
DeleteSo true Blue. What was the saying? They are so afraid to die that they have basically stopped living? Or something like that? Funny thing is 1 out of every 1 person will die (some early, some middle, some late in life). The moment we are born we are "doomed" to die. So might as well have fun in the process of life right?
ReplyDeleteIts just a mess out there. A big mess. Just like Alex said.

Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.

I heard a friend say today, we are either fully living or protecting a life we are not living! May 2021 be filled with life! Big Hugs Blue!
ReplyDeleteMakes perfect sense to me.
DeleteYou take good care now.

I made the decision not long ago that 2021 will not look like 2020. Not sure how I can do that, but 2020 was such a mess, I can't do that again.

I made the exact same decision, Elsie.
DeleteWhat are they protesting about, I haven't heard about this.
ReplyDeleteCovid measures to protect the 1%. Fatality rate: 0.23%.
DeleteI made a similar decision. 2021 will NOT be like 2020. It HAS to be better and I refuse to live in fear. Not again.
