I am understanding a very hard and not so spectacular truth about society and the way the world is “run.”

Whenever there is war…especially when the US is involved, everyone sinks into themselves. They don’t dress up but they drink more. They don’t spend their money but they’ll go after those who do or can.

The US isn’t going backwards or unraveling, it is exposing how fickle everyone is. There was a time that I can remember where people looked nice out in public, no matter how much money they made.

Now, you can barely tell the supposed rich apart from the supposed poor. (Using supposed because classes are a mind control method)

Essentially, what I’m say is…when someone tries to make problems…everyone acts accordingly. I can’t speak for other countries…but Americans do that quite often.

I remember when I believed in religion, the pastors would preach according to what was happening in the world. That’s so shallow and stupid. It does affect us all, but to portray that means you intend on sinking as low as possible. If you believe everything you hear, you will mentally spiral.

And those who are already fallen want everyone in that type of mindset. Fear is an easy control tactic.

Then there’s the automatic draft coming up. Unfortunately, I have an eighteen year old son. We jumped on it early, because being drafted means Army and infantry. He chose the Navy. While neither of us are pleased about what’s happening, instead of losing our minds, we talked about the best choice, given that it is a double edged sword.

That was it. We didn’t panic, we handled it.

I recently tried selling dresses I don’t wear, and this is why the topic came to mind. The dresses are brand new, beautiful and in season. I was told they’re too fancy. I’d say they’re meant for a birthday lunch or dinner. And one dress can be worn simply because. When the consignment shop refused my items because they were fancy, it reminded me of every time this country went to war…people dressed like the world was ending.

Well. I refuse to do that to myself. My soul is mine alone. My mind, and my life are no one else’s but my own. If you want to suffer along with everyone else, so be it.

But I’ve been savvy on what this all means for a very long time.
