I'm getting closer ... but this is from Wheezy Waiter:

Break Free from Addiction

I was watching a Prepper Princess video and I agree with her first premise here. Addiction is the bane of Western society, especially overeating, drinking and smoking. It must the number one cause of death in the United States. I’m convinced this is how the bad guys stay in power. They hook us on something, corner the market, and keep us enslaved by keeping us dependent.

I’m not endorsing her entire video, but she’s always thought-provoking which is why I watch her. Plus I love this quote: “Life is like a roll of toilet paper, and the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.”

Of the three people I knew from Alberta ...

only one is still alive. Steve Wallis, one of my favorite youtubers, just lost his best friend. Only a short time ago he lost his wife and mother. His young wife died suddenly, and I wrote about that here. Rest in peace, Crazy Neighbour.

Let him who would move the world, first move himself

That's a quote by Socrates. Here are some more:

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." -- Rumi
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Gandhi

In my life I've known more than my share of very intelligent, but pathetically delusional people (myself included). For the sake of my mental health I don't follow the news anymore so I can't post about it on my blog. I know enough to say, "Everything you hear from media pushes the agenda of those who pay them," and "If someone is catching flak, they're over the target."

Sorry if I don't post about current events anymore, but ... I just don't know what's going on out there, so I'm shifting my focus on what I can know and change.
