I've never seen so much depression or defeatist here before. That being said I feel I need to share a poem I wrote a while back. A Winter poem by David L. Miller Oh on these cold winter days how we wish for warmth while icily embedded in ourselves. Chin lift up, eyes look around. Look at the folk who cheerily endeavor not thinking about themselves. They move and work on as on any other day. See the children! Whether yours or not, happily and smiling they go about their play. Spy the lovers! Nothing creeps into or disturbs their warm embraces. Eye the sky Whether cloudy or clear! It's a wonderful, magical and miraculous thing. Hear the cheer emanating from the party next door! Share in the pleasure that not all people are at war. So shed your cool introspective, get up and get out! Make the miracle of a smile happen or create for someone a laugh. Help someone directly or indirectly, it matters not how! Charity is a giving, sharing a blessed circle. And then go sit back down. Chin up this time and feel the warmth of a life worth living.
Doom & Gloom is not one of the virtues
It should be censored /s
Sort of
Easier to read, and very much worth it; I wanted to work more with the breaks, but it got sent with poor html (I’m not real good at that ;-(
You may be waiting a long time.
“Its defeatism because we have been DEFEATED.”
Maybe you have, but my guess you were already defeated.
This only sheds light on things.
It’s one thing to be disappointed. It’s quite another to be a gloomier. If Disney ever needs an Eyore replacement, they’ve got plenty to pick from here.
I will stay this, have you ever seen such Sore Winners in your life? Frigging weird!
Was in Indy in June and at the time they were pretty much open. Went to Kroger's and none of the customers had masks. Seeing a stranger smile at you was such a treat!!
I never realized how much joy it gave me!
Thank you.
Thank you.
That was amazing.
Do we have that spirit now? I don't think yet but I think it is possible.
Are you dead? If not, you are not defeated.
The Dems are already far overreaching and starting their suicide cult. All we have to do is stay out of their way while they do it.
