Is it Wrong to Show Empathy?

I was going to hold this post for another day, maybe tomorrow, but the way the news works, unless you’re a celebrity with a family member missing, this story, which I saw first online just yesterday and then noticed it was mentioned on the news, I think would disappear before anyone, especially me, gave it a second, or third, thought. According to this story students at Enumclaw High School in Washington state walked out to hold a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents actions in arresting illegal aliens. At least two students were arrested one for obstruction as well as assault and resisting arrest for a second student. I discovered after thinking about this incident, I was of two minds.

Explaining Political Beliefs in Unrelated Subjects

One fairly new activity for me is perusing YouTube. I was really amazed with all of the various videos on topics I never considered people would be spending time creating. From renovating homes to creating living spaces in vans, along with topics in hstory, archeology, and the various sciences.

I often find people that whole-heartedly agree with me and of course, some that do not. Thats okay because I don’t claim to always be right, but I need more than “you’re wrong” to begin rethinking any position. My social medium of choice is X, and has been for a long time. It’s interesting to get the take of so many people on subjects that, well, don’t really mean anything.

Blog? What’s That?

So, here I am, back at this blog I have for so long told myself that I as going to begin blogging again, yet, until now, failed to keep my own promise to myself. /one reason is clear/; laziness. Ys, I admit I am lazy and tend to procrastinate when can get away with it. This is nothing new, I’ve always been like this but in the past, when I added content to this site, sometimes five or six times a day, it was new and interesting and I’d occasionally receive feedback via comments that would make me want to continue.
