Daily writing prompt
Do you need a break? From what?

From idiots. From people who judge, from people who speak and do not think first and those who do not seem able to keep their noses out of other peoples business. This was actually going to be a very short entry with just idiots being hat I want a break from. But look how it has grown and is growing by the passing minute, clearly this is something that needs writing about. Or does it? I have a very good friend who I can speak to any number of subjects, though she does prefer I avoid politics and Trump especially. In turn she off loads her stuff to me, we sit, listen and observe, sometimes we even learn something.

Life is a whole big class of learning. That which is good for you, bad for you and what you should avoid like the plague. Like eating something you absolutely detest. (In my case liver) we develop an awareness of what is good and bad and hope it does not take to long in realising such either. Another thing would be the incessant prattle of the news channel. We cannot agree with everything, everyone has to say. The world would be a very boring place if that was so, and as important as it is to know what is going on in the world, just who gives a fuck? It is the same lies and obfuscation every day and if you read the independent news you realise they have an agenda too. It probably does not agree with your own feelings , perhaps it leaves a bad taste( Like liver) In your mouth. Perhaps you like liver, for me the taste of it, the texture and look are all enough to make me want to vomit. I won’t even feed it to the cat such is my loathing for the stuff. You see, we all have different tastes, ideas and whatever else. Some people think Palestinians are scum, other people think those people are scum themselves, hypocrites too. Murdering genocidal bastards who are little better than Nazi’s. Who behave like and are in fact Nazi’s, albeit under a different name and flag. Personally, anyone who behaves like that ought to be brought before the world and made to pay for their behaviour and their leaders punished with the utmost severity. A bit like what happened at Nuremberg

If I want a break from the news, I must stop watching/ reading the news. If from idiots, then I turn my phone and other means of communication off. Or I simply don’t pick up, keeping the machine in the other room where I cannot hear it. Life is simple like that, we can make decisions to benefit ourselves and if that is being selfish or we are accused of that. Then the accuser ought go look in a mirror, there they might learn something. It is a fine day today and it would be a shame to sit here writing,so I am going to take a break and dig the flower beds instead.
