The best thing I have read on our current version of hell. And, I have read a goodly amount. Your truth is also my truth. I look forward to reading more of your works. I just happened upon you while reading Substack. Offhand, I don’t recall the sequence but I will retrace my steps to discover the path.

that means their is no real support for ethics. I have known many highly unethical people, in my opinion, who considered themselves ethical.
I do not believe any real ethics exists with politicians, religious leaders or religion, within any legal structure or life in general.
Hence, expecting any type of fairness in life may be delusional.
I hope you enjoyed your thanks giving.
Incidentally AEON just came out with an article where striving to be happy leads to being unhappy. This article aligns with most of my “beliefs” where I recognize that a belief is only a belief.
I hope you had a nice thanksgiving as well. Mine was very low key and lovely, thanks.
Ethics is a pursuit I think. It's a discussion and a struggle much as the law is. New situations present new challenges. Every landscape changes with the day and hour of the sun.
Not sure how this comment came to be however, it's welcomed.
I'm reading and commenting here and there but will be taking a bit of a holiday from One Small Voice. See you around the water cooler.
Having a science background I tend to be skeptical about ESP, fortune telling, synchronicity and such but I keep an open mind.
I seem to remember some silly movie from 25-35 years ago where the lead male actor referred to his penis as his Johnson. So, keeping an open mind, I wonder if the screenwriter had a premonition about the current house speaker?

Enquiring minds want to know.
I believe that Johnson, Peter, trouser snake, Dick, and little (insert name here) are all well known euphemisms. And for a while.😂
