In all honesty, I think it's as simple focusing on your sphere of influence. The world is a nightmare, and I don't think the human mind naturally adapts to the kind of information overload we're fed. That's a big part of the anxiety, and if this vampire type stuff has any basis in truth, I can see why that'd be a net positive for the bad guys.
The internet is a double-edged sword. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
You moved to your own place in FL and you had your reptile friends that you posted about. THAT is how to be happy, THAT is how you spread that happiness, I loved seeing that stuff even if I didn't find time to say so. To get a bit esoteric, we are our own creators. What we focus on is what we manifest., and when you dive into and focus on productive things that make you happy, it's much easier to start to free yourself mentally.
In part, we moved to the Ozarks because of what I saw you do. I saw how much happier you were when you made that change and I knew that's something I should think about too. And you know what? It was the right change. You led by example without even knowing.
We are not in control, but we are in control of how we react. We are in control of what we expose ourselves to that could elicit that reaction. It's not always easy, but once you start to keep that in your mind you begin to find the will to keep that controlling negative shit out.
I'm not enlightened. It's easier to give advice than take it. But that's what I think.
