Yo, 60,

As I read your post I was reminded of a one of my elderly clients back when I was working as a social worker. Her name was Matilda Hieztman and she was a holocost survivor. I remember her telling my about the imaginative ways that she and her fellow concentration camp friends would rustle up smidgens of food and would wait for the right occasion and have a little party. It's hard to think of folks who were in such a desperate situation finding such spirit but her stories serve me to this very day.

Yeah, we have a very evil and corrupt government and, yeah, the prospects of it changing don't look good but, hey, we also are also individually blessed with a spirit that allows us to find some joy amid those realities. So, I'd suggest, 60, that you get out more, spend more time with your friends, play more music or participate in whatever in the past has brought you joy and allow your spirit to carry you through these difficult times.

And, one last thing. No where is it chizzeled in stone that you have to stay here while the evilness plays itself out.

Now get to work, dang it!
