The ECB is expected to cut interest rates for the 7th time, and yet, “Too Late” Jerome Powell of the Fed, who is always TOO LATE AND WRONG, yesterday issued a report which was another, and typical, complete “mess!” Oil prices are down, groceries (even eggs!) are down, and the USA is getting RICH ON TARIFFS. Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the ECB, long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!
I have empathy because I know that one right realization can completely change anyone. Everyone deserves the chance at redemption. Still, I have cut most such people out of my life. Because, at age 50, I don’t feel it is my responsibility to be educating all of them, and they are insufferable.
I’m barely over 10 years younger than you. I have three kids between 10 and 17. I worried everyday for them that they would get caught up in one of the shootings at the grocery store or gas station, or that one of these kids bringing guns to their school might use one. I worried that the environment was going to hell and they were being left with even fewer opportunities than I had. And now this…
The door for redemption is always open. Until then, these people are enemies of my children’s future, of every child’s future. So til they seek that redemption, I wish the worst on them.
Yes, I worry about many of those same things, and I’m sure we both worry about much more than that. But, me hating people and wishing bad on them only causes me to feel bad (by them always being in my head). It doesn’t do anything to them. If it helps you, I would never ask you to stop wishing bad on them.
Edit: also, in my experience, most people that actually end up finding redemption aren’t actually looking for it. It comes when they least expect it, often through a major life occurrence.
