Irrespective of what happens in our world WE need to see each and every day as being potentially our own personal end time. Our focus should be on what WE have control over. And how WE can help make a difference.
"Do your best" <--- something our own mums used to tell us as little kids still prevails.
The Bible clearly states : NO ONE knows the day or the hour when Jesus Christ will return to this earth. Even so, the Bible describes for us the very unhealthy social, political, economic and environmental condition our earth will be in before the return of Jesus Christ.
Essentially the message is this: Do your best, make the most of every day you have and BE PREPARED for anything.
(Personally speaking my hope, faith and trust is NOT on a short life stuck on a polluted earth with flawed, cruel and abusive mismanaged systems. I've moved on in my heart and mind. I'm looking forward to eternity with my Heavenly Father and those who have gone before me ( my family and friends etc).
Our lives here are fleeting and tenuous. (I'm still thinking of Shane Warne I guess).
Our lives here are defined by struggle and suffering. Make no mistake ...2022 will see war, famine, disease and the death of innocent people. We have learned absolutely nothing about history except that we are forever doomed to repeat it.

You seem to have forgotten Lisa's anal fissure. Ouch!
AiA - it's well known that you cope with life compliments of drugs. And for that alone you will always have my compassion and pity.
I can assure you though ... that those very drugs you think are giving you some help ... will also help you destroy yourself. You will lose the battle for life because your enemy isn't the drugs you take .... but your inability to control your willpower enough to refuse them.
(Oh you may return that shared multi troll id that's posting with you ...back to Monk's Mound. A few others there might like to post using it).
AiA .... I have to ask: why do you live your life totally beholden to drugs?
What are you trying to escape from?
Don't laugh at Monk and his drug of choice alcohol. It's the same addiction mechanism - escaping something in life you've never been able to face.
More often than not ... a root cause analysis will yield abuse of some sort..physical/emotional/sexual. All very traumatic stuff.
It's a pity addicts like you don't/can't understand that the addiction you have isn't the addiction to the drug or alcohol you take ...but that deep seated emotional pain you can't shake off.
And before you come back to me with stuff like what would I know ....believe you me I do know.
My first husband (the upper class well connected lawyer) was addicted to alcohol and gambling. That's why I had to leave him behind. He wasted millions of dollars in inheritance and almost bankrupted me too.
And this is the thing about addictions....they usually manifest in many forms. With my ex husband it was gambling and alcohol. He hid it well from me until just after our honeymoon ended. After that I saw the reality of his wretched condition.
Anyway I could say more about addiction but in many ways I'm glad I was able to witness, suffer and survive my 1st marriage because it's given me the credibility to speak. Speak up. Speak out. And I don't intend to ever stay silent.
