Friday's demonsThis has been one of the most stressful weeks I've had in a long time. Hassles at work, financial woes, the possibility of facing surgery, etc. are issues that have been stalking me all week. Add to the equation the general uneasiness that seems to be shared by most everyone right now. I hear and read Anxiety, Fear and Frustration in so many of the voices echoing in television, radio, newspapers and weblogs. It is hard to remain optimistic sometimes, especially for someone like me who's always waiting for the "other shoe to drop". I have so many conflicts raging in my own heart concerning the whole war issue, and sometimes all I want to do is shut down every source of news media so I don't have to listen to any more rants from peace activists or Eastwood-like "make my day" speeches. I'm sick to death of "right-wing" and "left-wing". I swear I could throw a brick right through this monitor at another mere mention of "the war on terrorism". Is it just me? Does anyone else feel this mental lion pacing back and forth? This impatience for life to move on? I suppose I'll do what I've always done - hope for the best and expect the worst - and continue to do normal things like pay taxes, go to work and love my family, all the while hearing the roar in the background. I am an idealist, and I am impatient. I have my own demons to battle, and I want to stamp my foot and tell the world to shut. the. hell. up. Really loud. 5:58:09 PM
