The world has officially gone crazy. At least that’s what I’m hearing. Videos sent, texts sent, PM’s filling my inbox…”Have you seen this?”, “You gotta check this out”, “I’m just getting really tired”, “This can’t be real”, etc.

I read it. I watch it. I hear ya. Sorry if my response isn’t what you’re expecting or what you’re looking for.

…what you’re looking for…

For agreement, for some offering of hope, for some positive word or statement that will make you feel better about things…I get it. 

…I just can’t give it.

I wish I could. 

They rolled out the “Delta Variant” only a few months into our “recovery”. We got thousands of unvaxxed, possibly covid infected people walking across our borders, and if you argue the rationale, you’re labeled a racists. We have one of the worst implemented plans of withdrawal in Afghanistan happening right now, and a governor in Oregon that is simultaneously imposing mask mandates on its citizens while volunteering our State to take “refugees” that potentially could be carrying the virus.

Lines are drawn between the vaxxed and unvaxxed; between the ones that are pro-mask and anti-mask. People that will literally walk into a place of business to buy goods or get services with the intent to start shit if they’re told to put on a mask? Rather than just not shop there, oh no, they’re actually going to attempt to cause the owner of the establishment grief for simply trying to stay open…due to our fucked up governors mandates.

Entire Countries locking down their borders, isolating their citizens, destroying their economies – because Covid.

Yes, it’s fucking insane. 

…and there isn’t a goddamn thing you or I can do about it.

So just stop. Stop trying to. Stop stressing, stop worrying, stop arguing about it. Just let it go. 

Giving up?…not even a little bit. I’m simply suggesting that you adapt. Over, around, under, or through…BE like water. 

THINK!

Figure out a way to accomplish what you want to accomplish and to achieve the goals you want to achieve – anyway. Be. Tenacious. Be. Creative. 

YOU can’t save the world. Stop trying. Focus your efforts on saving one. One at a time. One person. One conversation. One well written response on a thread. Therein lies your sanity. Focus on one…and let the world burn. 

PLAN FOR IT. Plan on things getting worse. Just a thought…so that things happen right according to how you planned. 

…then maybe re-think what boat you want to buy and learn how to use a Sextant?
