So go tend your garden and give up on events. Nothing is stopping you.
I know several individuals that don't give it much, if any thought. They don't want to talk about the threat, they don't want to hear about the threat.....some of them say "what the F......it's not effecting me. They are completely content to go to school, go to work, have kids, play with their kids, read a romance novel, arrange picnics, sleep, eat and totally absorb themselves in their own little battles with life.
There are millions of people that don't know who James Carville is, and they don't care. Who cares about James Carville anyway? There's not a damned thing that man does the affects you or me in our daily lives. (he must have gotten to you recently?) I don't give him a second thought because he is irrelevant, just like you and me.
I sometimes wonder if those friends I mentioned might not be on to something, and I ask myself......where's the sense in worrying over it, how can I be effective? The answers are tough.....not much, not much.
"It takes a village to raise a child."
I thought that was a stupid thing to say~about the children and all. I'll raise my own thank you very much. (see how self absorbed I am) We could all succesfully argue that there aren't enough virgins to go around. Maybe that's the problem. Let's all put presure on China to lighten up and allow more female babies to live. But even that won't work. They'd just pressure us back.
So! We can move and shake, tend and sow, or play hide and seek with reality. It's a personal choice, but I think I know some of the choices you will make in the coming years.
Kudos to your Mother.
