Thank you, Nate. It helps to read your essay and all the comments and know I am not the only one ---looking around and wondering how people cannot see that the empire has no clothes. But I also see people engaging in increasingly risky behavior, and I see despair which is overwhelming mental health clincs, and I think maybe people do know. The average person can feel the great wrongness in our way of life and everyone is lashing out/ reacting in different ways. Most of those ways are self-destructive/ counter-productive. Like you said, I flip flop between the relief of giving up and the knowledge that I can't. I have three young grandchildren! I don't know what I can do, but I must do something.
