I understand that people are so invested in their illusion - that the governments care - that the media cares - of course people don’t want to face the grim reality. Unfortunately the grim reality is the way to the other side.
I was severely abused as a child by my parents. At a certain point, I had to unfortunately accept that they didn’t love me. There was nothing I could ever ever ever do to get them to love me. It just wasn’t in them to ever have that feeling for me. This was crushing for me and I understood why countless other severely abused people could never get to that point. But after I accepted that my parents never ever were going to be able to feel love for me, I could see that other people were capable of love for me. My point is that until I accepted a very harsh reality, I couldn’t get to true realities which did benefit me.
This is why I write a lot about narcissism. Some people lie and are predatory and they don’t care who they hurt and they are obsessed with power and money. These are the types that flock to levers of power.
Each of us must choose between truth and the lie.
