I think I’ve eliminated the emotional roots of this blog. I’ve silenced ambition and sentimentality and am awaiting something new.
I do think the essence of spirituality being in the feeling in the morning that life is special and worth living. Most of that work consists in purifying and amplifying this feeling. I would suggest anyone who can feel it strongly enough can pass it along to others, where it is certainly needed and welcome.
Two more comments:
- Donald Trump should have found his way out of the box by now.
- Joe Biden took a lot of money from the Chinese. Are they getting their money’s worth in our abject failure in Afghanistan? They could literally be paying him to help them in their own propaganda efforts, oriented around regional alliances, and the eventual–perhaps soon–imperial conquest of Taiwan. They could be blackmailing him too. The two go together, and this would be particularly true if they helped him cheat his way to victory. That is why it is so vital we find out what happened last November. We may lose more Americans dead in the last month of the war than the previous 20 combined, and all for no reason.
