Air Pollution

I overheard a conversation today that someone not far from here took their own life because of the nightmare that the storm had forced them into.  I sincerely hope they don't have to come back here and that they found what they were looking for with their choice to move on.  The planet can only sustain so much abuse.  Abused women can only take so much before they cry, snap, or even kill.  Mother Earth is no different.  What can I do?  Open your self to what's around you.  Feel the misery, the injustice.  Let it in.  Let it make you uncomfortable.  Walk along the road and smell the poison coming from the cars is a suggestion.  Drive up the Turnpike and smell the poison.  This isn't a joke- it's coming for you, sooner or later if it hasn't gotten to you already.  Getting closer to the truth may fuck you up, it may burst your bubble, and make you sick when you realize that you can't hide.  That's a good test.  If you aren't feeling the misery caused by air pollution, you aren't close enough to what surrounds you.

A lot more ocean than there used to be in this part of New Jersey

Just so you know China and New Jersey are like in the same house.  Not even the Great Wall can keep the effects of that misery away from you and I.  There is no getting away unless you can figure a way to live elsewhere in the stars.  The only true happiness comes from righting these wrongs, everything else is just silly and empty, it's that serious.  Unplug from the Matrix, get real.  Feel depressed, angry, hopeless- not all of the time, but enough so that you stay in check.  The dirty toxic environment we live in, worse in some parts than others, but wherever you go you can see it, smell, hear it, touch it, and taste it.  I've read a book about a future society where if you feel bad you take a pill- they don't actually fix the problems that cause the unhappiness- they just take a pill.  Artificial intelligence doing most of the thinking and all the Zoloft, booze, and underground drugs you could ever want . . .
