It’s been 4.5 days, and I got out of the house more today (as much as I could with the mild flare-up going on), and it helped take my mind off the whole situation for a little while; it was nice. I also sat outside and looked at the stars for about an half hour, it really relieved some of stress. It was very quiet, and peaceful. I completely got lost in it, it was great. And, please feel free to share more if it helps you.
ok, I'm glad I didn't upset you further. Sounds like you are good at mitigating stress,
which is a tool not everyone has, or values properly.
Watching the stars always puts things into perspective, doesn't it? It's a cliché, but it's so true.
It’s soothing, and it lets your mind wonder, hence it takes your mind of off the negative things going on around you. Just like after a hike and looking down at the view, or being near a waterfall, or sitting in front of the ocean during a sunset. Yes, it can help put things in perspective.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
