It really does comes down to that… I was reading a post the other day, and it reminded me of a recurring thought I have had many, many times. We can’t fight hate and anger with more hate and anger. This only feeds the flames, and it drags all of us down into the abyss. […]
To say we live in distracting times is probably a bit of an understatement. There is so much going on in the world right now. It makes you want to just shut down and hide under the sheets until it all passes.And it will pass… eventually.I have spent most of the year on this turbo-driven […]
