In a World Gone Mad

This summer I lost all respect for our modern youth. Apparently they have been raised that the end justifies the means and that individual responsibility is a virtue of dubious value. So when they wanted to get me fired because I was the new boss the old retired fart who was going to make them accountable trained lifeguards they lied. Maybe thinking it didn’t matter to their own sense of karma they fabricated a narrative of sexual harassment, maybe even assault they obviously didn’t realize matters to others. But hey, what is youth if not a time of youthful folly and the chance to learn your major life-lessons. Maybe they did maybe they didn’t but will, but for me at least it’s never too late to learn to watch your back in a world gone mad and rudderless. (10/18/23)

Whoa thats so unfair, and sad what you’ve been through, its never easy being blamed for something thats not true and especially something like this. Well karma knows, and will reach them when their time comes maybe oneday they will regret. Sending you light today and always

Yes, and thank you (but it's obviously my karma too). It's kind of an epidemic these days, and yet the real pedos (you know the ones on Epstein's list) go unreported and unpunished. But as they say, "Life ain't fair."
