Something’s not right

Just saying...

Just saying...

You know, I have put up with so very much from people irl over the years, but every now and then it causes me to do something I regret. After dwelling on it for some time I choose to apologize. And, disregarding their own contributions to the situation, they have the cheek to take the high ground!

And I read another's post, but can't relocate it atm, which said that he checks in on people to make sure that they are OK, but the sentiment is never reciprocated.

What's wrong with us that we are always the peacemakers yet always get the blame, and our concern for others is not reciprocated?

Re: Just saying...

Good Morning, @chibam. 😊I asked you some time ago when your birthday was, so I had to find a way to send you best wishes for your 'significant' day in lieu of a birthday wish. I guess the only way is to tap into an earlier post, as I have done here. So, have a great day my friend.😎I hope it is a good one for you and that you're doing alright. I'm doing surprisingly well and revelling in it while it lasts. Perhaps that will make it last all the longer still. Cheers 🎉

Thanks, @Historylover ! 😃

Not much going on here today; just some regular domestic chores that needed doing. But the date does bring back some fond memories.🙂

Glad to hear you are doing well! I hope that trend persists! 🙂

Hey there, @chibam. I haven't heard a lot from you of late but have taken that to be a good sign? I just checked in and saw you are online so thought I'd say Hello. I hope things are going well for you. Sending best wishes.😊

Hi @Historylover ! Good to hear from you! 🙂

Actually I sort of dropped out because I was being knocked around by a few health problems. First coronavirus, then an infection... then my computer went wonky...

How have things been with you?

Re: Just saying...

I've been making the best of my bad situation during a lull of sorts, @chibam. Just keeping busy and trying to stay out of trouble.

I had computer problems too, so bought a(nother) new one to alleviate my distress because I need it to be working well every day. I just don't need computer problems too! They get more and more expensive every time. Computer companies certainly have us all reliant on them now! I have no-one to ask computer questions, so it can be very distressing trying to work everything out for myself. And it's all so time-consuming! They are just so very complicated!! Life isn't easy these days!!

Sorry to hear you've had the dreaded CoVid! I've managed to avoid it to date, but of course there will be new strains on the way. Incredible, isn't it? I hope you had a mild case. I had my second booster and flu shot yesterday, so keeping fingers crossed they keep me protected to some extent.🤞Winter is on it's way and who knows what illness will present. Anyway, I'm sounding a bit pessimistic, so I'll change gear. 😊

P.S. I probably won't reply to your other post @chibam. My pessimism about what is being swept under the rug in MH will be too great. But, you're right. A lot is lost is vaguaries. But it sounds good.

Re: Just saying...

That's okay, @Historylover 🙂.

I don't know what I'd expect to hear in response to that post, anyway. Maybe just some confirmations that I'm not especially slow, and that many other ordinary people are just as confused about what's being pushed as I am.

The only meaningful response I guess I could get would be from the organizations/activists themselves, in the form of a rewording of their official policies, so they actually tell you specifically what they are advocating for, in plain english.

To be honest @chibam, I think you talk too much sense for most people.
