RE: The Squid Game Challenge as a Metaphor for Human Reality
I have not watched it myself and for the precise reasons you have shared here. I also find stuff like that completely depressing.
The older I get, I have to say I wonder more and more why people choose to fill their minds and time with such things...
I don't get it either Jaynie; there's much about Greater Humanity that just doesn't make sense to me... hence my lifelong tendence to keep most of the world at arm's length!
I am with you on that one, lol. Also one of the reasons I moved out into the middle of nowhere, lol.
I have to admit that it warmed my heart when you first "went walkabout" and it looked like you'd chosen to get off the hamster wheel of insanity that is this world! Good for you for doing that... and for choosing what matters in life.
I love the boonies... even if it's 40km to the nearest place with "big box stores." I spent my life in cities (Copenhagen, 1.4 mill.; London, HUGE; Austin, Texas, 2 mill; Dallas, HUGE, etc) and a 15-minute drive from a town of 10,000 suits me just fine!
I could not agree more!!! In fact we actually went over the mountain into the city day before yesterday... and I was MORE than happy to wave it goodbye at the end of the day.
I suppose sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. I have never really been very good at prioritising myself - I needed to rectify that and also to just put things back into perspective. I know many are bitter with me for cutting all ties, but like I said - I put myself and my own needs first for a change... but happy that at least a few friendly faces remained :) so, thank you for that!
