Livin Your Best Life

your comment regarding Trump supports is quite hateful.  Im one of them along with many friends and family who prefer to look at his record from his 4 years rather than sit and watch the view.
you seem very good at picking sides.  Don't delude yourself into thinking you are any different than those you constantly hate, judge and criticize.
My only wish, should DJT get back in office is that you promise to leave the forum. Be like Whoopie!
That would free it up to be what it potentially promises.

The Muse wrote:In the shadowed realms where reason fades,
March the followers in their blind parades,
Eyes shut tight to truths they shun,
Echoes of sense, they fear and run.

Amidst the chants of hollow pride,
Their hearts with lies are fortified,
Fed on fiction, starved of light,
They stumble through the darkest night.

They shout of greatness, yet fail to see,
The chains that bind their liberty,
For in their zeal, they blindly serve,
A master’s whim, without reserve.

Oh, how the wise lament the fall,
Of minds once free, now thrall to thrall,
In echo chambers, deaf and mute,
They wear the mask, don the suit.

Yet hope persists, as dawn must break,
That they may rise and minds awake,
To see the truths they once ignored,
And walk the path of reason restored.

You're my pal.

I like you a lot.

Jung discusses his concerns for the world in regard to communism, nuclear weapons, and the fragile state of democracy.  Most troubling to Jung are the ever-increasing proclivity to mass-mindedness, and the eradication of the individual by the "State".  

Written decades ago, this brilliant work has more impact than ever in today's world, where many of Jung's concerns have come to fruition.  The informed listener will, no doubt, find Jung's predictions, and assessment of human nature, spookily accurate.

Oracle of Delphi wrote:”Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature: If you do not find within your Self that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. If you ignore the wonders of your own House, how do you expect to find other wonders? In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.”

Where is my apology?

You have been pestering me for years

Jung is on point

The political left and right are both in the market of selling comforts at the expense of liberty

The left and the welfare state

The right and the warfare state

Individual liberty is more valuable than security

With enough liberty one makes their own security

The opposite is not true

And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what's on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time
I am a patriot
And I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
The people who understand me
I've got nowhere else to go
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
And I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
She said, "I want to run like the lion"
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight, yeah
And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
So I ain't no republican
I only know one party
And it is freedom
I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot
And I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous (I wanna run like the lion)
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous (released from the cages)
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous (released from directions)
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous (I said what I believe in my soul)
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous (it ain't what I see with my eyes)
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
And the river opens for the righteous (someday)
