Core - Still Alive #7?

[Core]

Hi Core, you sound in a very dark place just now.

Seeing alot of the reality of the world is dark inducing. I'm slowly coming out of it though... same as when I was hit with the reality of the D. I've had several family members hit the ER, as well as friends on life support, all under 40, with "sudden issues" the last 10 months. None being from Covid, unless this "long covid" stuff is real. The schools here are teaching k-5 on how to detect heart attacks. Whatever the reasoning or rationale behind it, I am left with some questions.

I get you want to have a grand impact, and worry helping someone short-term wouldn’t make a difference. The months I was removed from my parents are the only normalcy I knew growing up. I can’t overstate its impact. It taught me what being supported felt like, that punishments didn’t typically involve fear of death.

I think I get your point here and I love and respect people who do little things to help. That's the reason I came back here, to thank the vets and long time members. World changing no but immensely helpful. Concurrently, one can also hit at the bigger issues to prevent more smaller ones from occurring. I run out of caregiver-ness pretty quickly but have plenty of anger. I know myself well and finding a bigger purpose will slice in to that anger and will better suit my personality and strengths.

Whatever you see on the news, the Internet, etc. is already exposed. If people aren’t acting on something you see, it’s either not a priority or they don’t believe it. Consider that by helping kids, you’d learn 1st hand about the system you wish to expose. You could expose that which wasn’t already expose. While helping!

Good points and true. Its also repetition and how often we hear something that has an affect. Look how easily many were made to fear the cold war, ozone layer, terrorism, climate change, populism, covid, Russia. I dont yet know how to help, but I know it'll come to me.

Core, sorry, that sounds like some mental health condition. I’m not sure how/why you feel you’re privy or could be privy to special info about this group to expose not already on the Internet that either people don’t believe or don’t prioritize. I’m not sure why you feel you have a special ability to see reality that the vast majority lacks.

I’m sad reading this because if you “see reality” and the rest of us don’t, then it’s hard for us to help.

This one I disagree on. It's 100 percent historical fact that nobles, kings, elites, oligarchs and the like are responsible for the bulk of war and strife throughout history. The same thing is happening now but most people still think its their neighbor who votes differently from them causing their woes. When I was younger, pretty much everyone around me understood not to trust media or politicians and now many deify them and trust them with little to no question.

Sending ((hugs)) your way from the happy 25-65 demographic!

I am happily wrong about this one. I am glad you have peace and happiness, and I imagine you spread it upon the world.
