I hope you're doing well, Posh.

I'm going to pass on this video...just hearing not bells maybe, but "alarm chimes."

I've forgotten to refrain from directly political stuff here a few times and always regret it.

How are things going in your life? Is school going better? Vaccine?

hugs

Meh:
Hi, Hops,

Tired all the time, insomnia and no vaccine yet. Otherwise I'm okay.

If I wrote for a long time maybe I would eventually have something to say but often I really feel that I have nothing worth writing OR that I don't wish to write it here for the whole internet to read it. I'm sitting in bed sneezing probably allergies, feeling like procrastination. I think I might procrastinate for the worst of reasons, or maybe I shouldn't say worst. Perhaps just for a mush of reasons. Today I helped my neighbor plant some Dahlia bulbs. It's a distraction from what I am supposed to be doing. Life is always some game and framework that tells us what to do and when. I think I'm lonely, for a loner-type social distancing is probably too much. I've got plenty of alone time and it's to the point it's likely quite unhealthy now thanks to life changes and Covid distancing. I feel I just need to write even if it's mostly uneventful. Not everything has to be a big event right.

Hi Mouse,
Just want to say thank you for that incredibly gracious and spacious sendoff post you wrote when I abruptly started my break. That "blessed be" was so peaceful and consoling.

Still at the spring cleaning (inner/outer) but want you to know how much I appreciated it.

hugs

I'm writing about creepy disturbing stuff.

So I just listened to the Jim Jones death tape because it's what I landed on after doing a lot of digging about cults. He was into communism and some whacko version of Marxism. What is it with universities and Marxism anyhow.

The tape recording was somehow obtained by FBI. It's disturbing of course. There is a woman trying to talk some sense against killing children saying they have their lives ahead of them. Then there is a man's voice talking people into it. The man says he used to be a therapist. I won't post a link as nobody is quite as dark or creepily curious as I am. But it's easy to find on the internet.

It is a good eye-opener of how far people can be persuaded. Something like 909 people died, lots of them underage.

I wonder how much of it was due to social pressure. It is still difficult to comprehend that such a large group and parents would do that. It sort of goes to show that people will do anything.

It's written that Jim Jones was a megalomaniac, apparently that is part of the Narcissism spectrum perhaps. I'm not sure really.

The term cult sometimes is used broadly like to describe political groups, Rose McGowan recently called both Democrats and Republicans cults. She grew up in a cult so the celebrity story goes.

Should we all be cautious of beliefs and talkers and narratives in general. Do we just be simplistic experiencers, just knowing what we see in front of us and avoiding all the world's ideas. As always I'm not sure what my point is. I guess it's just a reflection on the extremes of Narcissism and also going along or not going along.
