Tough times, part 6

So just when you think you are getting used to the toughness of the times along comes a day that becomes tougher than the day before. This makes you wonder: "Will the days get tougher and tougher until they defeat me? And when I am unable to fight back, to survive, will my life be over? If so, how long will it take for me to die after the defeat?"

The negative thoughts come faster than a runaway train hits a parade and that counter-productive situation drains you of the very energy you need to fight these tough times. One muse be able to harness enough sunshine to blow up one's behind to ward off the thoughts of destruction that can destroy you.

Finding sunshine for self-blowing purposes is more difficult than ever. It is as tough as all the tough things in these tough times. Sunshine is everywhere when the sun is shining but can we all share it so we can each have enough to blow up our behinds and quash the destructive thoughts?

Tough times, part 5


Be that as it may, and it may or may not be, we are deeper into tough times than most people want to believe, for to believe times are this tough is to admit there may be more tough times ahead, or imagine that if times become tougher we will all implode without warning.


How to deal with times this tough is something even Charles Dickens would not know. He wrote: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." But Dickens didn't know of time that were not bad and good, like these times, these tough times that are void of anything easy. What would he write today? It would have to be: "It was the toughest of times, it was the toughest of times."


That would not go well with anyone, though it would be true.
