I don’t think you realize what the word comical means, I think you may be trying to laugh, but you sound pretty miserable about everything in your post. I guess this is fake it till you make it eh?

sounds like every person ever born, but don’t worry too much about it, there are those that find ways to beat the system, but you may have to actually find your amusement to see them.

I think they have been trying all along but their attitudes and destructive isms are a real social killer. People don’t like having their illusions challenged and especially by someone with a sh*tty attitude.

The one truth of the bible...."the meek shall inheret the earth". But the meek are the wiccas, and pagans, and followers of earth magics, that will have the horrid task of trying to help the world heal, after all the faithful have destroyed each other.

I happen to think that people that don’t rely on those other systems of belief will play a part in the healing, and they won’t have cause to gloat either because they are just people.
It won’t be a horrid task either; it will be an indescribable one.

We need your light in this world, where so many that refuse to let theirs shine.
Which is how the healing will take place, so we each need to start practicing, LOL
