Does anyone know how to overcome crippling loneliness? Asking for a friend.

Sorry Charles Schulz, you had it wrong. Happiness is a warm kitty.

Proposed: the phrase “doubled down” shall hereby be banned and replaced with “told a bigger lie”.

In my opinion, loving pet owners use gender-specific pronouns. I don’t trust your relationship if you call your cat “it”.

Thoughts become words, words become actions. This works for good and bad, for joy and suffering. Empathy teaches you that this is true for others and not just yourself; that another’s joy and suffering can affect you, too. It is empathy that drives selfless actions.

Remember that micromanaging boss you hated? Who discussed every little thing you could do better? Treat your Republican representatives like that. They need to know EVERY SINGLE DAY that they’re schmucks who will be fired by their constituents. America won’t survive unless it’s blue ASAP!!!

If an information source you come across is trying to make you fear or hate something or someone, then they don’t want you to think or learn about it.

Always be curious about subjects like that. Knowledge really is power.

Call your representative today and let them hear how cutting Medicare will hurt your life and health. We may be sick, but we can still dial a phone. Call 202-224-3121 for the Capitol switchboard and ask for your Representative or Senator’s office. We shouldn’t lose more benefits without a fight!

If you think trickle-down economics helps the poor, urine trouble.

Humility is empathy directed inward.

In these desperate times it’s important to remember that hope cannot be truly lost. If you doubt this, seek out someone else and give them a reason to hope. You’ll find that yours has returned as if by magic.

Capitalism alone is not an indication of our position as the most evolved species. Even primates and octopi trade food and services. True empathy, acting on another’s behalf without expecting or receiving any benefit, is.

Morality that requires policing isn’t actually morality: it’s dogma.

We really need to ban the phrase “let that sink in”. 99% of the time, the fact being presented before it is not remotely surprising, nor does it require deeper thought.

Let THAT sink in.

My goodness, keeping up with current events these days is emotionally draining - am I naive for thinking that we can realistically have a moral system of government anymore?
