Oh dear. All so very true. And depressing. I have a close friend who went to India for the first time this year. She will never return. Totally saddened by the poverty and never really "got over" it. My issue is global warming and the environment. If it does not get solved, we're toast! As you say, I can't focus on it for too long - too overwhelmed with daily life, media, work, kids, my garden, yoga - so overly busy. You're right - the noise of our lives overshadows the reality of what is happening to us all. sometimes, I pause and look at the faces of people walking by and it nearly makes me weep. If it exists, this is truly Kali Yuga. > > Edg > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray1" <steve.sundur@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Duveyoung <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > > Pisses me off still! > > > > Yea, but you seem to be a lot less pissed off lately.
