It may be a combination of things going on at home, at work, and here at JU, but I simply cannot take anymore of this filth. Perhaps I am being too sensitive, perhaps I am judging harshly, and perhaps I am in the wrong.
But there are some folks here I need to distance myself from, at least for a time, while the tidal wave of rancor passes. I respect you enough to let you know that I may be scarce to read or comment where I would have done in the past. I don't want my silence to be misconstrued as something more than it is. But at the same time I don't want it to be assumed to be simply a factor of my being lazy. No, there is a method and a purpose to it.
And that purpose is to preserve my sanity.
Any way you slice it, Yoda was on to something. "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering"
Call it what you want, but the thick pall of anger and hate hovering over certain sectors here will never lead to anything but suffering. With all the suffering in the world as it is, the last thing I am going to do is willingly subject myself to more of it. I will still be here, writing, commenting, and moving forward. I just may not frequent certain spots for a time.
I look forward to a brighter future. I hope it comes soon.
