The Breaking Point...

Folk #1: Yes. It was the week that broke our Lie Detector. Or maybe we should call it our Bullshit Detector? Let's say the terms are interchangable. We are living in the Era of Lies & Bullshit. We are swimming, & drowning in the face of a torrent, a raging river, of Lies & Bullshit. Of course, the tone is set by the over-amped example of our very own President War Crimes and his disgusting, corrupt administration of cowards & fools. Their Lies & Bullshit come fast & furious. Unrelenting. And if they are called out for their obvious idiocies & untruths, they double & triple down. It is quite astonishing & astounding. One cannot encompass the depths of bad faith, bad action, and damned Lies & B.S. of this bunch. Yikes. But, turns out, the Lies and the Bullshit come from every corner, every direction. All the major institutions are suspect. Everything seems unhinged from reality. One must be vigilant, willing to swim through the garbage to try to discern any semblance of truth or fact. It's exhausting. Debilitating. Finally your Detector is over-loaded. You just have to turn it off, & turn away.  "No more, I've had it up to here." Sure, it's a retreat, an abdication, but it seems necessary, just to survive, we must put our awareness somewhere else. So we trek to the waterfront, sit on a bench, bathe in the sunshine and watch the waves crash into the sand. We take a deep breath, and another. Oh, yes. Life.
