Martin, I'm glad you are writing about whatever you're thinking about in the moment. I started writing about one subject but found that my mind is occupied by so many different subjects that I have started to write about what's on my mind, and it feels good. I enjoy reading The Grasshopper more than your Medium Daily Digest political rant. I've reached the point that I'm supersaturated with the insanity that screams at us daily in the political and politician realm. I've pretty much stopped reading or writing about it because I'm tired of how much attention it's taking away from possible solutions.
I have never read anything in substack. Guess I will have to take a look.
As a general comment, I'm on the same page with you, Martin, and you express well how I feel and think, but to be honest, the ennui you are feeling, is the same for me. It's like it gets depressing after a while to just read about all the negative things happening because if you are an introspective and thoughtful person like most writers, it appears that way. There is more bad than good in the world, and sometimes looking back at history, I think there always has been. Christ dying on the cross wasn't a good ending, but the fabulists made it look that way.
We are just a flawed species who will eventually self-destruct, or so it looks that way.
Glad to hear it. I wrote a couple of venting pieces myself. I'm looking forward to your next post here.
