"Babymaking is big business. It helps government. It helps religions. It sells products. It keeps our society running the way it does. The more people who think it’s the be-all, end-all, the better off the people in power will be."
~~Laura Carroll, childfree advocate and author

People live in fantasy because reality is so difficult. They can't handle the truth.

Thankfully, The Creator knows this. He makes it possible, as He Says Clearly -

"And if those days had not been shortened,
no human being would endure and survive,
but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened. ."
 
I will not bother with the sayings, though many here have done a great job using them
Fact for today, July 15, 2022. Holland is up in protest greater even then the Convoy in Canada.
Farmers are being ordered to destroy or remove livestock, because they are polluting the earth. Not the millions of
cars, not mentioned. Hundreds of thousands of planes, no we need them. Coal generators that pollute pouring tons of carbon and whatever else into the air we breath.
They are saying that we will have a lack of food this fall in Canada. Even after ordering over 100,000 chicken to be killed. Holland farmers being told they have to destroy their lively hood cattle must be removed or slaughtered. The crops are failing they say, interesting how the second cutting of hay came in over a month ahead in Canada.
Who are they? They are the people that also order the spot checks at airports of people coming into Canada to commence on the 19th. Needles shoved into so many people from the very old to the very young. So many now so badly damaged they can barely live.
Don't believe me, dig into it for yourself. The change coming is needed, yes I admit that it is needed. Man is killing his own home, the only one we have at this time. But who decided who would die, who would live??
Remember this, no one can survive alone for very long in a country like Canada. Freezing in the winter, broiling in the summers. Family , neighbors and friends can make a difference.
I intend to take my best shot at this, good luck to all.
 
One of my fave quotes?

"The first step you never take will be the longest journey you'll ever have,"

To me this speaks to procrastination...and how it can chew you up knowing you should be out front fulfilling your true potential.
 
“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
― Norton Juster
 
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
~John Lennon
 
"The concept of relativity has strangely given rise to the belief that the emotional power of moral conviction elevates arguments above facts...Observing minorities using solidarity and pride to bind together and protest discrimination has given members of the majority the idea that the technique can be applied to competing with [the minorities] at this to obtain additional advantages."
