Not a rant
Friday, September 2nd, 2005 11:16 amReally.
A lot of people are ranting lately. Can't blame them. Things are bad. Lots of eloquence I'm seeing. Lots of splendidly argued points, and I agree. I've commented a time or two.
But I'm not going to rant. I'm not going to get into this at any length. Surprising? Maybe. But I can't, because I would just get Too. Fucking. Angry.
My house has no TV connection, and that makes me happy. Being a pagan, I believe very deeply in watching what you do with your energy. Good energy is an excellent thing, very useful. Bad energy can be terrible, but also useful. Pointless energy is the worst, because it does nobody any good. Other than sending money, I can't have an effect on this kind of situation, so I tend to keep myself away from the news. I know what's going on; I see reports online. But I refuse to wind myself up in the hysteria and ugly crap, because my distress wouldn't help anyone.
And distress, yes. That's why I won't rant. Because I can feel myself approaching Too. Fucking. Angry. And if I go off, I won't stop for a week, and I'll end up sick and no use to anyone. So no, I'm not gonna go off. It won't help.
( I will say this, though... )
But I'm not going to rant. Really.
ETA: Fantastic rant over here, though. Please check it out.
