Truth, justice and the American way are a smokescreen... Illusion and fantasy are the driving forces of the human race.

Hey deucie...

From a pessimistic perspective I can see how you can feel that way.

“People in general are conniving, insolent, selfish, vacillating lumps of steaming fecal matter.”

Are you painting the human race with a very broad brush?

In general, I see honest, courteous, giving, resolute, humans of refreshingly kind personalities.

There are, no doubt, evil pieces of steaming fecal matter everywhere.  And, it’s clear how often they let everybody know who they are.  Those pathetic turds almost always self-destruct.

I have been fortunate enough to know and have met many really nice people over my life.  I tend to quickly disconnect from anyone that has a radical negative personality or poses a threat to my happiness.

For many people, finding goodness in someone is too often more difficult than finding fault.

“Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.” ~ Dennis Prager

I often look for opportunities to make someone happy with just a complement.  The last two times I’ve had to call “tech support” on my Dell computer and my RING doorbell, I got a person speaking in the accent of India.  I’m sure most of us have had that telephone conversation. I have a hard time with accents, so it can be an uncomfortable conversation – having to ask to repeat often. 

I have a family remember who will hang up and call back or ask for an “English speaking person” if they should get a person with an India accent.

After getting the help I needed, I asked where they are located, they will say a city in India.  I then ask if I can speak to their supervisor.  In the last two cases I got a supervisor whose English was very good, and I simply complemented the Tech Rep who just helped me.

I try to make a little deposit in my Karma bank every day.

Truth, Justice, and the American way is under attack and is being completely destroyed by evil forces that we may not be able to stop.

Gnarls.
