Looking for Words
I apologize ahead of time for being oblique.
There are moments when life comes into sharp focus and you see everything. Every detail is sharp and clean. It becomes the moment when you slide that first pair of glasses over your ears and onto the bridge of your nose and really see that there are cracks between the bricks and that trees have individual leaves... It can be thrilling or terrifying to see the truth. I am waffling between abject terror and eager curiosity. There are days when it would be much easier on the nerves, psyche, or soul to take off the glasses. Life rarely lets you erase images from your mind's eye. I know that the harder you try the more deeply imprinted they become. I have become weary in feigning ignorance. It would be cathartic to be honest and let people know that I see and I remember and that I will hold them accountable. To confront the nemesis and in that fantasy battle be able to deflect the poison arrows and acid steams of vitriolic words is just that, make-believe. In this grownup existence we are expected and often not given a choice to act with restraint and civility. But just once I'd like to have super powers and vanquish my foes with a foot on their helpless throats as they plead for mercy. Just once. As I was writing this I was keeping an eye on my smart phone which promptly chimed the arrival of a text message. Checking the phone led me to the evil Face Book where there was a big post about Karma being tough as nails and not to mess with her. Yes, "Vengeance is mine says the Lord" and I do believe it. It is none the less gratifying to have Karma give someone a swift kick in the pants as you watch from a short distance away!
So I've got a little of that off my chest, so to speak.

Gnorance is bliss it has been said. That is not always the case, but I am glad I am not sucked into the drama of Facebook, which I hear is often.
I know what of what your nemesis is, be it personal, global, or political, but I do hope that your weekend can progress with a feeling of comfort and hope that goodness and truth will prevail over all.
True that! Still being able to see the pitfalls and side step them - even though you can't warn others of the horse manure they are about to step into , has its advantages... Not listening to them complain isn't one of them!
I have only one experience with Facebook, and it was not good -- I deleted my account immediately, and won't reopen it! This just confirms that decision!
There is so much junk and drama associated with Facebook that I avoid interacting on that media. A friend of a friend has just started whacking the hornets' nest and the tempest in the FB teapot is driving me closer to hiding his posts!
