“It can be tempting to get drawn into endless political debates, especially when emotions are running high. But ask yourself: Is this argument really worth the toll it takes on my energy and well-being? 

More often than not, the answer will be no. Engaging in these discussions rarely changes anyone’s mind, and it often leaves us feeling drained and frustrated. Instead, channel that energy into something more productive—something that nourishes your body and spirit.”

I’ve been trying to do this on Substack. I opened my account a few months ago. I feel like I am becoming more successful at detachment. I learned a long time ago that getting into political debates with others is useless waste of energy as most people’s views are fully entrenched. I’m also working to stay self regulated and remain calm which isn’t easy with a PTSD history. But, I’m pleased with myself. I’m doing a good job. 👏 I Ching is also helping me with flow and letting go.

People like you, Diamond-Michael, are a blessing, helping me stay grounded, centered and focused when the world feels like it’s spinning. 😵‍💫 Thank you so much. This article came at the right time.

Vote begging won't bring actual solutions for a system built and maintained by terrorism.

Period.

Everyone is doing their version of the "boy whistling in the dark" to keep from being terrified. The truth is that no matter what brainless nit wit they install the big machine must EAT. We have insurmountable debt and millions of useless mouths to feed. 25% of ALL taxes goes to pay INTEREST to a private bank. We are slaves. We can't get out of this. They have been printing trillions of dollars of fake money for years now. It's about to collapse. This sham of an "election" is just another distraction. Deep down the collective unconscious knows we cannot keep up this charade.

Lol it's a conscious realization for many these days. . .but like you said many will keep their heads in the sand to try and avoid the reality they helped build.

Which is why I'm looking for all the civil disobedients! Those ready to knowledgeably revolt against the banksters and Their system of capitalist driven extortion.

Actions speak louder than words, votes and money
