I’m in the same boat you are.
I just realized yesterday the reason this has happened to us is we didn’t get social justice training when we were in preschool...Oh wait, there wasn’t any preschools back then.
Social justice OUGHT to have been the 1st and 2nd commandments. Love God, and carry that into loving your neighbor as you would wish to be loved.
We didn’t have full bible fealty for a long time, however. The religiosity of schools was nominal.
Getting old never was any fun.
Old age ain’t for sissies, you know.
But consider the alternative, which would be dying young.
Being young wasn’t for sissies, either, if I remember the passage. Took an awful lot a charm and outright brass to make it through those years.
I have learned those skills pretty well, and they still work today. Coping works, every time it is tried.
