Greetings,

I can feel the collective eye roll as you get notice of yet another public news post, so I will do my best to be succinct. Some people need to feel controlled, told what to think and how to feel. Others need to be the ones in control. It's zealotry in simple terms. You could be fooled to think these zealots are the majority, they are often the loudest voices after all, but they are the minority.

Most mortals want to be left alone. Left alone to pursue the things that put a smile on their face. Left alone to love freely, to find friendships and family.

Fix up a cup of kawhe just the way you like it and curl up with a good book. Go fishing. Do the things that make you happy, and try to do them a little better each day. The flurry of public posts will cease soon enough, only to start anew, but they don't matter to the majority of us.

Yours in sanity,
Augtavian Lockwood.

P.S. Do something nice for someone just because you can.
