I am trying to avoid further comment on the usual suspects and the coming and goings of the world in general. It is difficult, when at the breakfast table my darling wife relates yet more of the awful stuff that is happening, rightly getting indignant at the inhumanity of so many to so many others. I grunt and go oh dear hoping she will take the hint and stop but it never happens. I am not someone who has ever suffered from depression, although thats not to say there have not been times when I have been depressed if only for a brief time. The world for some long long time has been what I suppose it always has been a horrible place, with outbreaks of joy! The difference these days, as we all know, is the ability for so much to be reported on one platform or another, even if it is not on the more mainstream news outlets. I have never wanted to isolate myself from what is going on in the world good and bad but I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that it might be best for my mental health? Generally I am a happy person who tries to be optimistic and upbeat (you may not think so having read my writing?) but I am struggling to find enough good in the world to be optimistic and upbeat about.
I am jealous of those who have little interest in events, it must actually be bliss to live in ignorance and I wish I could stop. For instance and I promise this will be the one thing I mention today, why would the second most powerful country in the largest trading block in the world decide to be a second bit player in the worlds economic hierarchy? As someone wrote, it is a bit like Manchester United deciding to leave the Premier League to play in the third division?
Anyway, my advice stop reading all the crap that is going on I am sure you will be better off, now if only I can take my own advice!
Signing off today with a word from the wonderful Susie Dent
MUMPSIMUS (18th century) One who sticks to their opinion despite clear evidence that they are wrong! (Anyone you know!)
Stay well
