Prickly City by Scott Stantis for July 20, 2023

To relieve suffering wherever we can.

Or at least not to cause any more of it.

These are very depressing times and that’s on a good day.

An optomist believes we are living in the best of times, a pessimist fears this is true

We can defeat the Nazis again! Win back civil rights! Save the planet from man-made climate change! Use your imagination Santis!

In normal times everyone would be against lying traitor Trump but anti democracy republicans are making a stand for authoritarian fascism because they are greedy.

I really don’t know how anyone can read Stanti everyday and not ask oneself how depressed he is and how much he has given up, thus how useless his political view.

Be pessimistic if you want. Yeah, things could be way better, but I am immoveable in my mission in looking for the positive side of things. No, I’m not an optimist, pessimist, or even a realist. I’m just stubborn in keeping negativity as minimum as I can; I’m a stubbornist, I guess LOL No one like to be negative. No one likes to feel bad. So I don’t let it rule me. Simple as that.

I want to live in Gene Roddenberry’s future.{But with a little more clothing.)

Eventually, these two crybabies will discover that it’s too darn hot in that desert to contemplate anything but running away.
