It is a daily struggle to control my reaction to all that's going on. I'm having a very hard time being around people. I know this is my problem and it's in my own best interest to react with patience and kindness. It's hard to show love when I don't feel it. Every day I pray to God to help me be a better person. Sometimes it works. Other times not so much.

I find myself grumbling to myself out in public about the stupidity...when I see a mask especially. Then the Lord reminds me to walk in freedom and joy in Him. He shouldn't have to remind me so often!

I think that also. Why do I have to keep being reminded? I just get too caught up in the moment.

Same!! I want to be gentle but it doesn’t always happen and I regret it later always.

If it helps, in the World Split Asunder, we all are daily having a rough time against the deliberately engineered daily assault and battery. It's okay folks to get angry at the people beating us up. In fact, the whole world is pissed as hell and that is why they are disengaging from the West and de-dollarizing at breakneck speed forthwith.

Indeed. We can see all of this developing in the international scene right now as nation after nation sees "the writing on the wall" and abandons USG hegemony. Even Saudi Arabia is disengaging with the USG and aligning itself with the developing eastern geopolitical block. And what is the USG and NATO doing? Like the Borg assimilating everyone it comes in contact with, NATO has just DOUBLED its border with Russia. What will Russia do when the USG puts missiles in Finland?

Misery loves company? It helps to know I'm not the only one struggling.

Hi Tracy! And thanks again and so nice to hear from you.

No, I do not believe it's a case of 'misery loves company', although I suppose company of the right kind can be very comforting. Nope! This can of worms of long suffering is thrust upon us from without by Evil people persecuting us and waging war upon us, the same as they ruin lives abroad with their incessant wars of expansion (and so far all colossal failures and trillions down the toilet).

Increasingly, I find it all an exercise in Faith of the kind that retains joy in ones life. Even still, everyone once and awhile we (me and De Wife) have to regroup because at times, it is indeed overwhelming that such exponential large sheer Evil is being perpetrated across the face of the globe.

It sure does help, though, to keep company with like-minded people. And acts of resistance to evil validate the life of the soul as we imperfectly separate ourselves from evil.

Thank you for your comment. It does help knowing how many people are having the same issues and understand. I don't have very many people around me who are on the same page but the ones I do I cherish and thank God for. Also, everyone here keeps me going. 😊

Yes! And to boil it down, it is highly problematic be a sane fish swimming in an insane world. Cling to the wisdom of Scripture as guide, continue to struggle in growth of character in the ways of the Lord ... and cast out destructive self-doubt attachments. And you'll do just fine.

And remember always, the demonic forces always want to tear us down, incinerated our home and families. We must never consent to this.

Ever get the idea that they're forcing the de-dollarization so they can turn to the public with their new currency and say "Hey, they turned away from us. It's not our (Wash D.C.) fault!" and the MSM will support that lie and 40% of Americans will believe it. And the rest of the world will be cast as homophobes and racists.

I think it is much more complicated. First, the 'we' among us tend to ascribe all knowing superpowers to our enemies. And we tend to think that they are smart. Perhaps even smarter then we are. Well, if this was all true ... then they would not be in so much deep trouble now, victims of their own Woke Stupidity. For example, if I knew decades ago the de-industrializing the US, shipping industry and jobs abroad, was a really not a good idea, why didn't the Dear Leaders of the collective Western World Woke Empire know this? And if I knew that Financial Commercialization at the expense of an emphasis on a real production of goods and commodities was a really bad idea, why didn't our august Dear Leaders know this? I could add much to this list, but perhaps ... the point is made. The truth is that these Woke Leaders have thrown all tradition out the window and have replaced it with an Ideological World View detached from reality and human nature. This detachment from reality and human nature made the Prim Movers of the West quite insane, and moreover with a diabolical penchant quite akin to an arsonist holding a can of gasoline in one hand and a lit match in the other.

The below is a first rate survey of what is going on. I vouch for the view presented as being more or less a very realistic statement of where we are and where things are likely to go. I think it will add much to anyone's understanding as to questions no pertaining.

This second video has a bit of good statement in it. One can at least get somewhat a provisional grip on how the rest of the world is looking at the contemporary Western madness. My reservation is that this video features Jeffery Sachs who is establishment and had WEF ties. Jeffrey does seem to be singing another different tune these days, but it is not entirely 'our song' if you get my meaning. Still, it worth listening to for as far as it goes.

BRICS rising as neocons destroy the west w/Jeffrey Sachs

As and aside: the basic schism in the collective West is that between the God centered Law and constitutions which the founder/framers gave to the Americans, and that of the Marxist replacement government centered in secular humanist based law. And if the Crazies hate Putin, and aside from geostrategic considerations, it because Putin reinstated God, Russian Orthodoxy and Christian morality back into Russian society. The whole thing going on is a war between the traditions of the world and a Woke Globalist totally bankrupt Marxist vision of Utopia, a world which never was nor never will be.

Thanks for the question.

Me too Tracy. Nobody is a saint and we are all practicing until we are reunited with the Lord.
