We got a letter from my endocrinologist yesterday. He decided it was time to leave the US to be with his family. In Syria.
You know it’s bad when a doctor thinks he’s better off in Syria than in the US.
He didn’t give his reasons so who knows why he decided this, but I remember back to about 3 years ago when he told me I should stop getting depressed over “politics” because the world is a good place, the future is bright, and I should just be happy and thankful for what I have.
Nobody but us kooks were willing to see what was going to happen. Vindication is supposed to feel good, but this doesn’t feel good at all. I wish we had all been wrong when we said we saw this coming.
I really wish that we wrong about this too. However, we cannot deny reality.
Your doctor has a good point about politics though. There is only so much a person can do. In the end, the most important thing we can do is to take care of our family and those we love. How we live our lives and how we treat others are actions that we have complete control over.
