Great metaphor as ever Julie.

We live amongst people who are happy to play dead. Keep your head down, no responsibility, no fight.

We do. It applies to so many things.

We give others power over us.

Currently battling with the council about son’s school (again). This time, transport.

I could freeze, wait or I could take action.

No prizes for guessing which I’m doing.

Good luck. Fighting councils seems to me day job now as U.K. gov are under the influence of WEF and other globalists. We have to make it hard for them.

Well done to you!

My mum told me they will have to rebuild entire multi storey car parks because they were not built to withstand weight of electric cars. Makes me worry for bridges.

All he seems to be saying in response is “there’s no magic wand, we need to do more, there will be challenges” type of thing. They have been corrupted and dazzled by agendas many of them sadly know nothing about. Rosa Koire saw it all coming.

I've observed that it's often the people who are prepared to fight for what is right that make things better, not only for themselves but also for others. Sometimes it's lonely for the person prepared to stand up when others don't, but without them not much would get done. Power to you Julie.

Thanks for the reminder.

It’s easy to think we are on on our own journey but each painful groove we etch out makes a smoother path for the next person who travels that way.

All my best wishes and hope you can force a situation that works for your boy. Public sector organisations are like hell on earth to deal with in these times.

One thing after another, Janette. Hopefully will be resolved soon before school starts.

I suppose really, we write all the rules ourself but we imagine others to blame

However freedoms just a step away, play another game

There’s always someone waiting to impose rules if we let them.

Rosa Koire is an American who wrote a book called “Behind the green mask” exposing what was being plotted under the smokescreen of green. She sadly died in 2021.

Strange how coincidence happens. After writing this, I’ve just been reading something here

https://open.substack.com/pub/petergray/p/18-how-play-promotes-cooperation?r=1c4b56&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

which mentioned tag type play and notes that most mammals prefer to be chased rather than be chaser and how it aids co-operation.

Made me reflect upon those preferring to be dominant (ie chaser) must have a willingness to relinquish some of their likability. Hmm….
