Don’t Lie to Yourself

“We didn’t even have a lockdown, and the impact of Covid is very minimal compared to other countries … but still we see this big increase in the number of suicides,” said Michiko Ueda, an associate professor at Waseda University in Tokyo, and an expert on suicides.

Japan has the data on suicides that must be occuring all over the world. Harsher Lockdowns, arbitrary measures, and hypocritical politicians and virtue police are driving deaths of despair to unconscionable heights.

My 30 days of gratitudes has been a rocky path. I started later than most, missed a day or two, and have been side tracked by my own rough goings.

Today I’m grateful that CNN doesn’t have a Biden foreign intervention to sell yet and is reporting on a critical story that may sway some of the Doomers.

Yep, my lamest gratitude of the month.

I’m also grateful that I’ve gone through intellectual, spiritual, and physical transformations. I’ve changed my perspective on major aspects of life and still love and respect that old Jason who was wrong as shit. I also love myself now, even though I may still be totally full of crap. I’m not afraid to see the truth and repeat it. That’s the only way to grow into harmony with existence. Lies separate you from reality. They twist it into an unknowable thing. Reality is dangerous. Existence is suffering. If you don’t see those facts clearly, they will level you and you won’t know where you are.

I don’t have a lock on truth, but I’m heading in the right direction.
