Life is a series of ups and down's of late, who thought silver years would be in upheaval? Past as we knew it now gone, constantly trying to catch up, keep up or shut up.
Reminded more than once South Africa is in the doldrums, sometimes you have electricity, more often than not you have none, sometimes you have water albeit brown residue with pipes breaking regularly. It's home, roll up your sleeves, fix/assist where able.
It's no secret hardship is transpiring worldwide! Banking problems, high interest rates, people laid off work, as Silver's we try to reassure, transition is inevitable eventually stabilizing.
Learning to earn, happily able to feed mind and body many here willing to share knowledge in crypto, silver, gold savings or how to earn through talents, farming small-scale, thrifty ideas, keeping ones head above water overcoming some hurdles life throws at us, transcending our circumstances in a variety of ways.
Individuals normally courteous, kind, always happy to assist each other, of late I find levels of aggression, less empathy, challenging people to be cautious, it was never like this before, perhaps when younger we were wearing blinkers?
Modern idealism, globalization, leading people down path of false promises, eventually let down, now angered by the beating drum of world leaders who spin webs of deceit, it's everywhere, reflections at 'pandemic' fervor..
Persistent positive is how I need to react to avoid negative emotions. Falling apart will affect health and mind, throwing more confusion into chaos constantly trying to avoid when witnessing a world in turmoil created by those beating the drum.
This is not a happy era like the Roaring Twenties before our time, this 21st century has brought about change, will it be a cheerful human kind? Between the devil and deep blue sea, threat of terrorism, climate change, widening gulf between rich and poor, rapid growth in population, persistent environmental destruction, corruption, hyperobjects, tethered effect of media on a global scale all add to challenges calling to be solved, yet no one is talking to each other.
Over first vicennial effects for consideration "The Great Reset", placing power into the hands of World Health Organization who did not do a great job during "covid-19 pandemic" Proposed amendments to the World Health Assembly in May 2024, starting with two there are many questionable others to research before it's too late after laws are implemented on this Global scale.
I'm still siding with tinker, tailor, farmer, sailor, a legal-self-representation of mankind happily going about their love of work in harmony within tight-knit communities. Without regional stability we face diminished quality of life, become another number to those beating the drums, we require strong outlook in a positive outlook.
Stand together, people of the North do not know the problems of the South, humans on the West do not know people of the East, by talking finding equilibrium where all can live peacefully on our blue world, rather than favouring conflict, war, disharmony, understanding, empathy will win, You will not be happy not owning anything, hang onto morals, cultures, religion.

Main stream media are feeding populatist information, stop listening to the Tap Dance and/or Swan Song by the beating drummers not voted into power, seek out truth and make your own decisions be they personal, regional, monetary, economics, technology.
Dare to think, make decisions, learn more, we are living in an ever changing world, negative can be swung into positive with logistical thought process. Living in beautiful countries is not enough, no one should feel they have lost something, lost out in life, we need to be balanced in progressive new world.
