“Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” - George Orwell, Animal Farm

Unfortunately, that’s what happens when evil humans are allowed to rule, no matter the rulers. This world sucks.

Lucky us, we have front row seats whilst watching it unfold.

Yes, the Taliban enabled Al-Qaeda by harbouring them in Afghanistan. Therefore just as responsible for the attacks as the ones flying the planes into the Towers.

9/11.

Who started the war on October 7th? Hamas the terrorists, and now the Israeli terrorist government is acting even more atrociously. There is no difference between them, they’re both violent despotic parties.

So no better than Hamas, or Nazis, or the Taliban, or any other organisation that uses violence as a means of political expression.

It’s ironic that a people who a few generations ago were targets of a “Final Solution” have decided to enact the same behaviours 80 years later.

For sure! The fact is, everyone has different goals and should plan accordingly. For myself, I will take most shifts if offered, but I’m comfortable turning them down. My life is my own, I choose my schedule within reasonable limits.

I’m successful based on my criteria for life. Are you? You should do something that makes you content, rather than attempting to make pithy comments online. Trust me, there’s more satisfaction out there than on here.

The correct one, if you wish to maintain your boundaries. You do have the right to say no to work. It’s different if you’re a business owner or have a passion for the job. But the key is, it’s YOUR decision, not THEIRS.

This is the key. I personally am happy to be texted to take extra shifts right now, but I still make the final determination if I want to work or not. Remember, YOU are the one in control, not them.
