And there is a lot more stuff, with a narrow hope of getting stuff published in a magazine, and hoping that acts as a break. Life gets reduced to doing game designs and trying to find an edge anywhere. What is seen in this? Like with the shooting of the congreswoman, it would be a good time for people to stop and assess where things are, and maybe their values. Is it that? No it isn't. What it is, is a place to position oneself and score points for one's cause. A death is turned into a political tool. Considering the issues I am looking at, I really don't want to think on this now, and engage with people at random. People don't seem interested in finding common ground, just justify what they know is right. I need to keep reminding myself of this to back away. Life's too hard to end up trying to go this route. As a parting shot, I swear there are people who would think a Hunger Games reality show, with real deaths would be an awesome thing to have, particularly with those you disagree with being the contestants. |
Good luck to you, hope things work out for the best. I'm not too keen on politics or watching the news either. It's just too damn depressing half the time.
