Totally agree, Greg 😥

If you were insane and super-rich and decided the world were overpopulated, how would you murder 4-5 billion human beings?

Answer: Stop efforts to end global warming.

Our ongoing collective trauma seems to be downloaded on a daily basis in my opinion. Triggers are pushed by the bad actors as you call them, as we give them permission to do so. We have options of not watching MSM hours on end or doom scrolling social media to a certain extent. Balancing act is difficult since they have created the addiction. Perfect love casts out fear, someone said, can we collectively choose that or not?

I think Ellie Kona's post over on Robert Hubbell's Today's Edition is a perfect complement to your post today, Greg:

"For anyone finding themselves in a disagreement with someone else, these 4 steps for non-violent communication might be helpful. (Successfully tried them myself!)

1. Observe and recap. The process begins with neutral observation.

2. Describe emotions, not positions.

3. Identify needs.

4. Make a request.

For example: "When you said ____, I felt ____. I need ____. Could you please ____?"

A friend of mine from years ago, took "listening" lessons. Whenever we talk(ed) I always felt listened to by her. She wouldn't just hear the sounds you made; she listened to the words you spoke.

That’s the best explanation I’ve heard or read of why this is such a crazy period we’re living through. I’ve been pretty much in denial about the actual level of traumatization inflicted on us, but, upon reflection, I can see that we all have PTSD to some degree.
