Cool.. it's good that you can see what I mean. I say it because I know how my own anger has affected me and with all the stuff i've been discovering lately, and how my intense emotions I was holding onto were affecting how I was seeing the world.
At the same time there is some point to the things you're saying, how things in western society have gone downhill and such. And it's unfortunate and sometimes it does my head in some of the articles I read about things.
But what i'm learning now is unfortunately I can't control that, I can only control how i'm perceiving the world and what i'm holding onto or not holding onto.
That's pretty cool seeing her so far away like that.. 1000 miles is even more in kilometres haha
