Something inspirational: "We're all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing." CHARLES BUKOWSKI

Thanks. Yes, I agree that is true. The pandemic has shown the 'dark ignorance that prejudices our souls...' That said, the author's quote on the whole is true for many of us, but there are exceptions to those trivialities around physical, mental and emotional disabilities.
I know that what I have to deal with day to day aren't trivialities; it's a real-life physical, mental and emotional disability that separates me, and keeps me locked in my own world.
Thanks Tim. Yes, the hefty price you talk about Tim is set to continue. I'm also crying inside. This particular quote also springs to mind:
“Everyone you meet is inevitably flawed... I don't avoid broken people because I think I'm better than them. I just don't like looking at my own reflection.” - Alice Feeney - if what we're doing is allowed to continue through ignorance, it will be the demise us all and life as we know it.
But let's face it, it's not just the pandemic, and what does that say about us, when all we would have to do is think about our lives in the whole and how we can work together to act and be a support? To also think about the wider world and the natural world, which is already struggling.
Yes, it is ignorance and ignorance costs. You're right Tim.
How true and yet we live our lives in a dark ignorance that prejudices our souls, and pervades our every breath.

This is the best quote I've ever read. It makes me think about the hefty price we pay for ignorance.
The more I weigh this quote, the more I cry to achieve consciousness.
Forgive me while I catch my breath.
