Who Do You Trust?

Meta, Google, Russia, China, the US, and other entities want to track everything we do. Some all the time. Some only when it suits their agenda. Apple doesn’t. Apple does go too far sometimes in the interest of privacy. But who do we trust? I trust a company that values our privacy and sometimes oversteps. I’ll die on that hill.

Attacking a Belief Structure

I’m reconsidering how I think about my country. It’s clear at this point that many of the assumptions I’ve made in my lifetime aren’t valid. I’ve projected my view of the person I want to be (and fail to be) onto my country. The population of the United States is not good, moral, acceptant, unselfish (generally), and caring. Neither do we see or care about the big picture, or the world in general. We only care about those last two if aspects of them impact us negatively and personally. This is the United States of America. This is who we are.

I have never had a day’s outcome impact my will to live like November 5, 2024, and I’ve lost a child.

Changes

One thing true love teaches us is that to really love someone, you have to accept all of them, not divide them into what you adore and what you’d change. You become wise enough to know that if you did change something, they wouldn’t be who they are.
