Good and evil are like light and darkness. Evil pervades and fills all the space. But one candle can drive out evil.

I have both a handwritten and an online journal. Sometimes one or the other appeals more.
That is how I'd rather die anyways.
Tell my kids I love them, update my will, go to the redwood forest, and walk until I died.
Es macht mir fröh. Ich hoffe eines Tages weider zurück gehen.
Strangely German, because it makes me feel at home. Also a few of the British accents and languages, particularly Welsh, Scottish, and Northern England. I can only imagine that's in my blood somehow.
If your stress is the kind that can be mitigated by a change of perspective, then it wasn't significant stress to begin with.
The short answer is yes. I've lived under considerable stress for the better part of two decades. I don't know the entire effect, but it has given me slightly higher blood pressure, and my mind is deteriorating.
My entire body hurts all the time in the joints and muscles, and I get regular tension headaches. My heart flutters, and I get dizzy spells. I also have stress-induced asthma.. I hope it means my life is shortened, and not that I simply have to live with lower quality of life.
It's already an echo chamber. That's just how human interaction is. People aren't going to share unpopular opinions just to be argued with and downvoted. It's not worth it.
Take the recent question about religion. No way am I going to answer that, because I'm not atheist and I know how non-atheists are treated online.
First five? I'd blow all I'd spend in one. A small farm. The rest would be saved.
I know I'll never realize that dream, but it's the only one I have left.
Be brave, be kind, and work hard.
The last one is the only one I really manage.
It doesn't take guts to steal. Just an inability to think, a streak of laziness, and a large sense of entitlement.
