Changes As You Age

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 and is heading towards 80 what sort of changes she is feeling in herself. She sent me the following:

1 – After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.

2 – I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3 – I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

4 – I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.

5 – I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.

6 – I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7 – I give compliments freely and generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”

8 – I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9 – I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

10 – I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

11 – I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.

12 – I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

13 – I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.

14 – I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can’t we practice this at any stage and age?

The Undeniability of 70

Karen Hadley

A friend writes:

This month, I turn 70 years of age. This seems an undeniable milestone in a variety of ways.

Senior Citizenship: It seems undeniable at this point that I am a senior citizen. No matter how vigorous I have felt, no matter how insouciantly I insisted on overlooking the aging process, well, there it is, staring me in the face.

Seventy is an undeniable marker of advanced age in general. When you were younger and you observed a person who was 70 years old, didn’t you automatically and undeniably categorize them as old? I did and I don’t mind this categorization now.

Survivability: It seems to me that being 70 also carries with it an undeniability of survivability. Sadly, I have already lost several people dear to me who were younger than I am now. For whatever reason, I have outlasted them. I am appreciative of my own efforts to sustain good health and grateful for the contributions of those who have helped me.

Satisfaction: I am very satisfied with my life. That doesn’t mean I have accomplished every goal; I haven’t. But the most important matters have turned out well. My son is intelligent, successful and married to a woman I adore. I have cherished friends and many acquaintances I value. I have worked as a professional writer for more than a decade, an occupation I enjoy very much. I am still nimble mentally and fairly nimble physically. I have recovered a relationship with my long-lost sister and uncle. There are points I could grumble about but it’s undeniable that on the whole, I am satisfied with the life I have led. At this age, that’s a good feeling!

Contributions: I have spent many years of this life in pursuit of a better world for all. As a result of a rather one-sided approach to this solution, I may have neglected my own needs more than I should. But I don’t regret an instant of those years. They were years of camaraderie accompanied by a sense of progress and dedication to worthy goals. In my own universe, the value of all those years is undeniable.

Future: My perception of a valuable and useful future is also undeniable. Seventy is not an age for slowing down. Yes, the body needs more maintenance and attention than it did at fifty or sixty. But I still have the sensation that a rich and rewarding future awaits me.

Agelessness: How many times have you heard someone say they were a teenager in a senior citizen’s body or words to that effect? Arriving at this age confirms the truth of agelessness. While the body ages with the march of time, our viewpoints and attitudes do not need to age. We only need to grow in wisdom, perspective and experience. Agelessness is undeniable unless a person chooses to deny it.

This milestone is cherished above the sixty-nine previous anniversaries for all these reasons! It seems important at this moment to pause and reflect on the life I have lived and its qualities and quantities. I’m happy with my choices. Going forward, there are no guarantees but it is my intention to continue pursuing my goals and enjoying my friendships to the maximum degree possible. I am happy to include all my In-Real-Life and Online Friends in my future.

Things That MAY

Things That MAY

Here is the link to the propaganda doc, the official narrative, the script, the exact playbook on how to handle adverse events post vaccination, vaccine hesitancy, mistrust or counter arguments.

Nobody must step outside of these guidelines, all system puppets must follow the script.

Every public statement by a journalist/politician/medical professional, is scripted by the WHO.

What to say if people refuse, what to say if a baby dies from the vaccine… it’s all in there.

Rise To Wise And Share The Truth

Rise To Wise And Share The Truth

My purpose is to understand.
My secondary purpose is to raise others to a higher level of awareness.
We can only be totally free when all are aware and free.
Keep spreading the truth. It will extinguish the lies.

The Final Nail in The Coffin Of “Renewable” Energy

Wind Turbine Burning

Why renewables are not the answer.

“For the first 15-year generation of static-battery backup for the global grid, one would need the equivalent of 67,000 years’ total current annual production of vanadium.

“Lord Monkton on nut zero reality, how in fact all renewables can do is make electricity expensive & rationed by law, which has reversed economic progress, while its intermitent & variable supply cannot reduce actual CO2 emissions for the same enrgy output.

“Nut zero, then, is a striking instance of Monckton’s Law, which states that any attempt by governments to interfere in the free market in pursuit of some political objective or another will tend to bring about a result that is precisely the opposite of that which was – however piously – intended.”

Net Zero Will Lead to the End of Modern Civilisation, Says Top Scientist

Wind Turbines

A damning indictment of the Net Zero political project has been made by one of the world’s leading nuclear physicists. In a recently published science paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer said it would be the end of modern civilisation. Writing about wind and solar power he argued it would be especially tragic “when not only will this new infrastructure fail, but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary”. The stakes, he added, “are enormous”.

Dr. Manheimer holds a physics PhD from MIT and has had a 50-year career in nuclear research, including work at the Plasma Physics Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. He has published over 150 science papers. In his view, there is “certainly no scientific basis” for expecting a climate crisis from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the next century or so. He argues that there is no reason why civilisation cannot advance using both fossil fuel power and nuclear power, gradually shifting to more nuclear power.

There is of course a growing body of opinion that points out that the Emperor has no clothes when it comes to all the fashionable green technologies. Electric cars, wind and solar power, hydrogen, battery storage, heat pumps – all have massive disadvantages, and are incapable of replacing existing systems without devastating consequences.

Manheimer points out that before fossil fuel became widely used, energy was provided by people and animals. Because so little energy was produced, “civilisation was a thin veneer atop a vast mountain of human squalor and misery, a veneer maintained by such institutions as slavery, colonialism and tyranny”.
