    What thoughts might arise from seeing this?

    Selfishness with the human race isn't just a problem, it's a deep sickness of the ego.

    If Jesus were to see modern America, he would probably ask where is the real Christianity.

    Seattle, people just don't care...it started with Reagan...many people Sainted him for his efforts...just a stark example of how morally bereft many Americans are...humanity can't do better than this?

    The promise was that alternatives would be found/created for those put out of institutions.

    It was never followed through on by those who made the promises. Empty promises they were.

    I watched 3 episodes of Picard last night...strangely the theme music is exhilarating.

    Famous last words.

    The cast looks fantastic.

    It's been warm recently in Ireland. We were supposed to have been there over the last week and a half. Sigh.

    We will go later in the year if things don't fall apart.

    I'm posting this thought here because it's kind of general and related to the general chaos which abounds.

    In my opinion, if someone is clinging to an idea because others are denying it, that is a very weak position. It's child-like. "Nanny nanny boo boo, what bounces off me sticks to you." Like kids in a playground.

    I have often 'rejected' things that were popular, simply because they were popular. And the end result was that I missed out on some cool things as a result of a position which had no substance.

    I learned from my own mistakes.

    yeah, part of the maturing process...my daughter is still struggling with that, but she will move beyond it...I can tell...

    I saw an update of my DNA test results from 23andMe. I went from a low percentile of testers to a high percentile...nearly the top. One of the interesting things about the 'variants' they mapped is that they were nearly all traits which I don't possess with the exception of one. The tendency to hold on to things that I never use. I found this kind of funny and probably coincidental. I'm no packrat by any stretch but I can't bear to let go of things that still have potential value, maybe somehow, somewhere. This was reinforced by my daughter because she would not use things for months, if not years but invariably within a week of my getting rid of something she would start asking for it because she needed it. Off to the store I would run to get a replacement. I sort of decided to stop doing that for her stuff along with my stuff. It really tugged at my heartstrings to give away all the stuffed toys I bought her as she was growing up. Her mom would give me hell (even after we were divorced) for buying her those toys all the time. Talk about synchronicity, one day I was out for a jog and came across a stuffed horse, perfectly good, laying on the sidewalk. Of course, I kept it and later gave it to her. She asked me where I got it and I told her that God had given it to her...And her mother bitched...
