Hello

 Behind the iron curtain I see rays of golden light This crystal clear vision is like having a new sight The anger and the ugliness which I saw at first Gradually became the beauty for which I thirst It takes maturity to take this deeper look But humility is a crucial chapter in our book We all have faults and failures; this will never change But neither will the grace that works to rearrange I try now to listen and learn from my past I know the light is greater than the shadows that are cast Behind the iron curtain, is a story to be told But the book is only opened by breaking through the mold 

 Recently my closest friend from work/local community, has appeared to fully subscribe to the latest hyped up "resistance movement" known as Q or Q-anon. Me being the lowkey guy I am, I tried to gently dissuade him from all this, with no effect. Since then, I've watched him go from formerly really relaxed and optimistic to increasingly paranoid, spreading the latest "happenings/plan" to whoever's willing to listen. Not much I can do now as he "doesn't care what anyone thinks of him". Here's my take... 1) Balance: Despite seeming to be constantly busy, many people have too much time on their hands and/or too much space in their heads for anyone with a convincing tale and a mouthpiece/camera. As such, they don't occupy their time with productive/positive activities. Sense of humor is diminished as they "got to be ready", "something's gonna happen?" Really? Something is Always gonna happen. Unprecedented times? What
