Phinikas - Like a roller coaster, over the years my emotions re: TPTB and their antics, swung me from one end of the spectrum to the other: fear and hopelessness to outrage. But now, in old age, when I see these very pathetic entities on tv or on the internet, I have to laugh at them - their foolishness (not very compassionate I know), and what keeps it in perspective for me is knowing who I am and where I'm from, realizing that somewhere along the line they, the poor fools, tragically missed the boat. And if by some weird turn of events they succeed, what is truly the worst that can happen to us? Genetically and historically we've survived many great traumas in the past, and lost our bodies countless times. This time, however, we have the New Revelations, and I know we're going to be victorious. And never forget we are eternal. Do the work and don't worry. We'll be fine. XOXOXO

Greetings in Peace, Dianne,

And if by some weird turn of events they succeed, what is truly the worst that can happen to us?

The worst? Well, not sure I can get there, but how about if we start with Soviet Russia mixed with Nazi Germany, North Korea, present-day surveillance city London, communist China, Islamo-fascism, and capped off, so to speak, with present-day CIA torture tactics. You sound like you could take anything thrown at you, but really, would you be ok with this? Would you say it's fine to leave this for the children to come -they'll survive somehow?

Do the work and don't worry. We'll be fine.

Do you think there is ever a point where constructive optimism becomes destructive denial, and if so, where is that point?
Thanks for your help with this, Dianne.

Peace to you,
Phinikas

PS - Does the thought of people doing whatever they want unless they violate the space of others scare you?
