I don't watch the news anymore. Every day is the same...war, brutality. Homelessness, famine, murder. natural disaster, corrupt politicians etc. Here's how I feel about it. I am in the final quarter of my life. I have done my bit and contributed to society to the best of my ability. I would very much like to live my last few years in peace. Am I selfish? Perhaps. As it is I am caring for a disabled husband and am not in the greatest condition myself. I have done everything I can to simplify our lives and to reduce as much stress as possible. Yes I am aware that there are people in this world who do not have the luxury of a safe, peaceful, uncomplicated life and my heart and prayers go out to them but at this stage in my life I don't want to hear about it anymore. Like the ostrich I have stuck my head in the sand.
