Is it just me getting old…

or are the conflicts in the world worsening? I swear, there seems to be a ton of bad things going down and that is getting me down.

Well stop watching the news.

@smileylovesgaming I don't believe ignorance is bliss, and while very difficult to maintain a sound level of awareness without anguish, there are issues in which I participate… most recently CBD Hemp Oil activism and the issue of supporting abortion… contacting my "representatives", participating in issues, researching my illness and posting findings in my support group, and more.

Knowledge is power. I understand some people can cut themselves off and be okay with it. I see it as an abdication of my social responsibility, and do not respect those who avoid painful reality. Reality is often painful. That is a truth.

But it seems you may agree that reality is growing more painful.

@FlowersNButterflies I never really watch the news at all. I didn't even know about the c bug till my town went on lockdown for a month. Trump I just knew him as a movie acter. I didn't know about the whole gas thing since I don't really drive my car that much at all. I can go 2 or 3 months on a full tank of gas

@smileylovesgaming So you are not really a full citizen, no right to complain about anything, because you are a non-participant.
