I too used to assume the worst about people. Assuming the worst and paranoia did not a happy Rob make. However, pleased to say that these days, I always try to assume that only good things were intended , and more often than not I'm right. Unfortunately, this only works in close, personal situations; as much as I try to assume the best of the bastards that have been running this shit show, its just not possible. But I do assume that I'll be OK in the end, whatever happens, there's not point in being negative about it all, though it is s truggle sometimes.
I hear ya for sure Rob Dubya! Assuming that monsters in the world are altruistic and don't have it out for us would be pretty dangerous in my opinion. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
Yeah you're right -- we have to make a distinction between seeking peace between family and friends and peace between us and the government. I will never forgive the State, but I'm trying to repair some personal relationships. If we're all little islands, we're that much easier to control.
ha,ha...anybody who is in the trades, esp this auto mechanic, has eschewed 'assuming' forever and a day, after being bitten in the arse once too many times...ya can't bs any repair job or human,alas

agree
We are going to continue to be the boss of our lives.
Everyone that is still interested in continuing the shit show carnival can just stay away from me.
Happy New Year
By golly! I'm with you. And HNY, too.

I'm absolutely willing to forgive the State. Once they've been dissembled. Permanently. ;)
Amen.
Good post, good advice, good words.
I loved that post about your neighbors... I told you, it got me all teary! Quite a beautiful bit of writing, yeah.
You're right, of course... We don't NEED any more negative crap that we've already GOT!!! Cheers, and HNY. :)
A lot of this depends on how you were brought up and by whom. This is then exacerbated by who you're surrounded by during this time and after.
