Former President Jimmy Carter has entered hospice and I am crying. Even though his life was full and his passing will be gentle, I don't want the good people in this world to leave

#Mnemonic is such a criminally underused word.
A coworrker once asked me if I could devise a mnemonic device to help him remember how many bodies he had buried in 12 different states across the Eastern half of the US.
I was shocked!
He was the first person I met who actually knew what the word "mnemonic" meant and was able to use correctly in a sentence to boot.
The world seems pretty messed up rn and many people are suffering. Do you hold out any hope for the future, or is the End nigh? Has it always been this way?

I wish you all a Happy New Year.
If I couls wish for something then it would be that we all helped with work against all the bad/dark forces we see spreading around us.
Imagine if we could spread a positive energy around and between us. I know that I'm not perfect but I try to be a desent person who rather keep my mouth close if I can't say something kind.

Calm, open-hearted #Curiosity is the cure for so many interpersonal challenges in today's society. #Reacting to sources of #outrage without rational thought or understanding does not solve problems. It only creates new ones. #Respond logically and with compassion to the sources of outrage.
Open your #Heart.
#Balance it appropriately with your #Logic.
Be #Curious.
#Breathe. 🕉️
