24. Agree. I think/hope we may be in the tipping point, but if so

it'll continue to drag out and be almost as as much angry and confused and uncertain as wisely committed. Not my nature to despair over human imperfections, although they've been scaring me good lately.

I'm glad your parents were able to create safe little worlds for you until you were...ready for the big one.
