It is interesting to me how little we discuss the fact that we are being psychologically tortured (both the asleep and the awake). The MKUltra "up is down, black is white" fake narrative is designed to demoralise, humiliate, and break you via submission. Those who submit then want others to fail, legitimising their weakness, cowardice, and foolishness. Your closest social and familial bonds get weaponised against you.
This forces you to protect yourself, and withdraw into a circle of those who are truly loving and caring, with self-care at its centre. The urge can be to become a recluse, neglect yourself in the hope of a uncontroversial demise, or engage in suicidally dangerous activities to get off the planet quickly. I suspect that acknowledging that we are being tortured and witnessing it for each other is figural to managing the pain and healing the trauma.
It is the betrayal by those who put children in the way of harm (for selfish goals) that hurts most.
Hard when it is your own family or friends
but did they give their soul away or was it sucked away from them?
All you can do is be a role model for yourself, and hope that others learn from it.
Solid as a rock.
And nature is always there for you because nature follows natural law.
And prayer helps. So does walking and doing yard work. Gardening. Hikes, etc.
Be one with the trucks on the highway.
Find your Zen.
