Unfortunately I to would nuke earth. So will refrain from any comment other than my best wishes to you.

Though not of all to believe, but the sayings of everything has a time and place to be done helps me. Part is to cast away stones (burdensome people included)
Ecclesiatics3.,

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.


If those that cause you pain confusion or despair are those stones that are more burden...lose them.

Hope that letting go, does not cause just as much or more with the loss. But some? yeah, let it go.

gentle thoughts,
Jewells.

Umm.... misanthropy is going around. I would like to scratch homo sapiens and start over from the bonobo.... or aomething.... but as it happens I take intense comfort from E cclesiastes, and from knowing that if I am judging that harshly, chances are I need to do a HALT check... and breathe deep until i find the reason I am so touchy if HALT does not cover it....

with me, usually means anger is expressing against big vague broad targets instaed of the fam who gave me PTSD. Sigh....

Arg Mate, When im in the rabbit hole of hell , I have even condemned an innocent blade of grass by screaming at it .
I have even cussed out random jars of salsa at the store.
When in this mode, inside I just want to literally rip someones head off , including my own ....theirs first of course ,,,,, sucks........


I wouldnt mind just a few of us left on earth some days. ,wearing nothing but a lion cloth and grunting as speech.

I think it's human nature to bring out the gavel now and again but I know what you mean. I can get pretty obnoxious sometimes. I have honed my sarcasm skills and they will not be wasted.

Last month I preached a sermon in church about my fantasy of heaven. As a new arrival, hopefully, I'd be at a bar in heaven like the one in the movie Star Wars, drinking with a whole bunch of aliens from other planets. Me the only earthling in the whole bar.

One of the aliens would make friendly small talk and ask me over beers where I came from. "Earth," I'd say.

At the mention of my home planet earth everybody in the bar would quietly slide away from me as far as they could.

"Whoa," one of them would say. "Earth. Mean little planet, that one. The boss sent his son down there and they killed him. You guys have some bad reputation around the universe."

I wouldn't know what to say. Then one of the other aliens would say, "But hey, cheer up. They let one of you into heaven, right? So you must not be all bad."

That sermon was my tongue in cheek way of saying we humans aren't as warm and fuzzy and well-intended as we sometimes give ourselves credit for. Sometimes we're lucky the universe cuts us a break.

So as for your feeling a little fed up with human hijinks, I say it's ok cut you a break today, too.

I learned long ago it takes too much energy to hate people. I'd rather save that energy for me to support good causes than give it to them. I agree there are a lot of terrible people in the world but I cannot condemn others when I am not without "sin".
I also cannot condemn all of humanity when people like Mother Teresa, St. Francis of Assi, Jane Goodall, John Muir, Martin Luther King Jr. and countless volunteer firefighters, EMS personnel, hospice workers and search and rescue personnel and wildlife conservationist risked or are risking it all not for money or glory but because they care.
I lay blame on our society that focuses on more on what is in it just for me than what can I do to make this a better world for all people.

Hate and resentment are like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. It is possible for both to eat holes in your soul while the object of your hatred remains fully unaffected.

Thanks, all. I seem to be calming down. Seem to be. Haven't tested the calming... Big test coming up this weekend with another drive to the in-laws. Reminding myself it is not mine to sort. Just there to support my husband.

Arfie, that's a good thing to keep in mind. "Not my row to hoe, I'm just carrying the water jug for hubby.".... So to speak.

I don't hate. I just get mad. Then I get over it.... yes, our species has produced Hitler and Stalin and Ted Bundy and that a-hole welfare cheat and so on.... bu talso Michelangelo, Da Vinci, St. Francis, Mozart, etc.---all of whom had human flaws but still produced greatness in their line. Proof we can all give a little to the world, despite our flaws..
