A world of hurting loud voices blurting truth often denied humans deified stresses abounding. Fake news astounds rumors make rounds hard to conceive who to believe? Damnation, frustration what to do? Stay cool No fool! Hope

HOPE is the answer; a perfect Diminshed Hex. A fave for me!

Milton, Amen. But when there is Hope, we are refusing the darkness and holding to the light. Blessings!

Yes, in spite of everything today, I still found that I could reach down inside and pull up HOPE. Thanks, Shirley.

Let's see now: Things to hope for -- Biden's untimely demise, along with Trump's; Harris' premature dementia, along with Schumer's; a lightning bolt eliminates all the members of 'The Squad a return to plain old sanity by BLM, Antifa, Proud Boys, Academia; an end to anti-vaccers and others of their ilk; hmmm I think that 'Hope' needs a few extra letters. ~ Just sayin'

Everyone has to find their own hope deep inside, Gershon. I would not wish an "untimely" demise on anyone, but I think I understand where you are coming from. It will get better, trust me! Thanks for your comments.
