We've become domesticated by a relentless culture of violence, which I call "Domination Culture". We're mostly dead to the moment, living up in our heads, in the past and/or the future.
A Thought from long ago reminded me of a message from a counterculture group known as the "Moody Blues". A quote from the lyric of "The Land of the Make-Believe":We're living in a land of make believe And trying not to let it show
Maybe in that land of make believe Heartaches can turn into joy
There's not much I can meaningfully do about what has already happened, but I _can_ do what I can decide to improve my own ways of thinking and planning for the future!
I have the Greatest hope for all who will think and find new ways to cope. I'm a retired guy who may be suffering from the delusion that I can escape this stuff by growing my own food in a clearing in a forest as I attempt to convince insects to setup in my greenhouse, (for the few that are still around) No need to worry: And make sure of the details. A side note: any idea why there's a "captain" for a lifeboat? My idea is that the "captain" is the one who has no delusions or distractions about the goal to be achieved. Hoorah for Jessica!!

Automatic upvote for the Moody Blues reference.
“So the word panic literally means to run away from the sound of Pan's voice.”
It’s tragically ironic that they instead follow the tune of a Pied Piper to an uncertain fate.
