Thankfully that empty feeling didn’t last too long. It was very intense, but it subsided after a few minutes. The gaps between it returning became longer, and after a while stopped completely.

It’s really alarming. Like the UK there’s absolutely no political opposition from any party. Polls showing the majority want immigration to be reformed, but that’s dismissed by all parties as “far right”. The government brining in UK police from NI to protests, talking about using the Army as well. One village of 170 people bringing forces to about 280 immigrants (all young men). Just crazy stuff.

It’s getting crazy in the UK, and getting bad here in Ireland too. Gov is determined to impose massive migrant centres despite local opposition. Labelling of “far right” on anyone not toeing the line. Forcing a “hate speech” bill through to criminalise any opposition to it.

Well as someone in recovery from alcohol and opiate addiction, I personally don’t blame anyone. I used to buy benzos from online registered pharmacies in Switzerland (it’s not under EU laws), and they didn’t just have a marketplace. They actually posted them out. It was eventually shut down. Not one of them went to jail. Ross sent out nothing, just ran an open marketplace, and he got a life sentence. So unjust.

Beautifully said. It’s a wake-up call, in many respects. Life is short, and we all face that, sooner or later. Our culture ignores the reality of the ageing process, and feeds us the lie that if we take this pill or do that exercise regime, somehow we can live forever. Helping an aging parent shows the reality that we can’t control ageing. We’ll all need someone’s help, someday.
