"Hope is optimism with a broken heart" kept coming to me as your infinite wisdom sank in, reminding me of how my resilience had taken care of me through many fractures over the years. there's no reason to believe it won't continue.

It’s hard to know exactly what to pivot towards. I just pray for clarity, and hope at some point I will know the right way

I wrote a comment a few weeks ago after less than 50% of the population

voted to give a pathological psychopath the keys to the White House bathroom

and I said we have to confront the comfortable lies we've been told, and lies we've

told ourselves about our shared sacred worship of "Democracy". You've

mentioned another one: there never WAS a "normal", not at any point in time.

We said there was and we behaved like we had a grip on reality. The fact is

we never lived in anything remotely characteristic of "normal "

unless we consider collective aberration to be normal. Going forward, let's

recreate language and integrity: "normal" is a phantom and it's gotten

us in a lot of trouble. Not every anti-social political revolutionary suffers

from mental health issues. Sometimes the "parasites" really DO deserve it.

Welcome to "normal".
