Self Reflection Thread

I’ve become more at ease, more precisely, I’ve come back to my senses. You could call it a significant ego death. I’m also happy that there is a team out there who started a force which serves as a backbone for many. Thank you @SammyG @El_Capitan_Nemo

Just stay above it if you can afford to… in the country I live in it is pretty relaxed (at least in my mind), some more “touristy” - i.e. lot of ppl due to wintersports - villages in the mountains have rules that you have to wear a mask in the town center outside as well (normally rules are inside in public areas and in public transportation)…
otherwise there are news about it and some delay in vaccination program and whatever, but I’m not really participating… I just focus on living my life and going outside over the weekend as much as I can (I work from home now).
Though I know it’s easier for me because the UK rules are pretty strict - here we are allowed to meet 5 ppl both inside and outside so that’s a small group of friends for a hike :)

Lol, you already know what I think, after centuries of epidemics and some major pandemics, the justinian plague, leprosy, black death, spanish flu, smallpox…

Even if the responsible should be “punished” to put it mildly, it’s too late, we’re in.
Most people don’t have sapien med, some are already weakened by chronic illnesses or old age… it could be a bloodbath.

Yes, the pharma and the mask industry will rake in :man_shrugging:

I love my little bush town and am very grateful to be living here. It’s a unique and different town. We have two large game reserves an hour’s drive away in two opposite directions. It’s the perfect place to visit if you would love to experience an amazing safari.

I am privileged to work at an awesome little school. Yesterday morning our headmaster posted this on our staff group.

Before you ask, no I don’t know what happened to the buffalo or whether the wildlife rangers managed to move them back to the bush. It’s not unusual to have wildlife come into town. I just thought it would be cool to post this screenshot and share with you a little of my life in the Botswana wilderness

That’s really cool Jenny. How the animals are still free and brave to roam around where there are people. In many other places, it seems that animals show up only when the people are locked inside like during this pandemic. The current situation makes me think of how life feels like to be the animals in the zoo with limited movement.

One of the two game reserves that I mentioned has a highway running through it. The highway links our town to the next little town (more like large village) that is about 300 km away. About 60km of the highway is in the game reserve and so all drivers are restricted to driving 60km/hr for 60km to avoid hitting any wildlife. Traffic officers love setting speed traps along this stretch of the road as they know many people will try their luck. I have seen all sorts of wildlife alongside the road while driving through the game reserve, elephants, giraffes, zebras.

Makes it extra difficult when you’re empathic, and you mean well in your heart, but gets misunderstood. I couldn’t have said what you said any better. I’d give you 10 likes if I could, I completely agree.

As I grew up, I wondered if this world was meant for the wicked. I see it all the time, with my own eyes and through the eyes of history. The most dishonorable bestowed the highest of honors by our society. It’s almost like a cosmic pratical joke.

There was a time in my life that I dreamed of going into politics, I thought I could do something good there, I was young, ambitious and idealistic, but as I grew older and see more of the ways of the world, I realize it’s not the only path to try and make a positive difference.

There are many of us who feels the same way. We’ll get there, someday.

i learned that everyone’s too busy thinking about themselves that they don’t have time to think about the thoughts i think about.

by cleaning up my own thoughts and feelings, i am having room to feel good and happy which in turn attracts fun experiences with my friends and loved ones.

“If you could read other people’s minds, you would probably be disappointed because the sad reality is that people do not think that much about you. They are too busy thinking about themselves, worrying about what other people are thinking about them. While you are worrying about what other people are thinking of you, they are worrying about what you are thinking of them. You are all self-conscious.“

Facing my traumas was the ugliest thing it damaged me more than the trauma did.🤦🏽
I was just lost & lonely with hunger for love and connection. Facing pain is damaging it’s unnecessary… but it gives emotional maturity and strength which bad sometimes because I want to feel childish but in a good way.

I am just weird human being so loved so hated…
