So no one told you that you're being watched by DOJ.
Your job's a joke, you're out of Coke, your führer's gone away.
It's sad those organ transplants that you got were made in Xinjiang,
Your heart, your knees are all Chinese, your ticker runs on batteries.
---- that detonate with a bang
I know, the shoe doesn't fit because I keep hearing "Help" instead of "Friends".
But you get the idea.
GOT SONG?

(9,814 posts)I was straightening up a bit, as I have, unsuccessfully for the past 7 years, and picked up a couple of anthologies, from the thrift store, of songs from the 60's and 70's. Aided by the fact that I found a 50,000 watt station in Fresno that plays oldies all the time.
"We Will Overcome". People of a certain age remember. So, something along those lines, of course.
Hopefully not "Eve of Destruction" ...
Worth some time spent. Music a bit of a 24 by 7 thing with me.
Thanks for the reply. I totally get it.
Times, they came back with a vengeance.

The '60s bad stuff was sooo intense!
But these last 6 years? Even worse!!!!!
🧡Music- recorded, or live in person is an essential thing for me.

And right there, you have what's wrong. It's all about shooting and money-making.
Converting to Buddhism. Greed, hatred and delusion (the three poisons) are not my style. I was always so out of place in this culture.

(14,909 posts)Money is important, means to get things we need, and want, too (up to a point).
But it's not the only thing.
Kindness, generosity, making friends, having fun, having curiously about the world are the other attributes I treasure.
May they increase in this world!

(9,814 posts)Actually, it's a bit heavy. But the point is that what society values is not happiness, but symbols of it, i.e. money is the means, but becomes an end, and like all the others, there is never enough. You can't satiate. Perfect for our society's model. Someone else can and does always have more.
You got it right. Choose happiness.
