I trust my experience. When I connect (non-parasitically) with nature (life) I experience peace. They want us to be driven to distraction by the belief that there is nothing left that is good in the world. They want to destroy our hope and our vision for a loving, beautiful world.

I do not comply.

As for me, I don't want, or need to see disturbing images. It's enough knowing that I am forced to struggle and fight each and every effing day kust to survive on this rock all the while realizing that there is not a damn thing I can extricate myself from the muck. I mindfully ignore the world outside my of my immediate personal influence and keep myself busy doing the bare necessities to keep my body alive. I am addicted to work. Physical work that is. Not sitting behind a desk.

Life IS work. If one stops moving health deteriorates rapidly and death soon follows.

I once heard an old woman reply to a question put to her as to the secret to good health and a long life to which she replied MOVEMENT. It stuck with me for the past 20+ years since I heard her say it.

Another gem I remember that the oldest man in the world stated in regards to his advice as to the secret to good health and longevity was to practice INNER PEACE. I strive to do that every day. It ain't easy.
