It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

So I rewatched No Country for Old Men last night. Never a waste of time to revisit Coen Bros work - the dialogue, casting, atmosphere, the wit (which many miss IMO) - superlative. So much to align with, Tommy Lee Jones' disrupted Sherrif Ed's story is one of alienation with age!

Um, as an educator I find this a little bit trite and demeaning toward people that actually want to learn. Profiting off of the potential of humanity nice job. Very impressive.

It's funny it's been in my playlist forever and I've never watched it for some reason. Chicago PD is a decent police procedural with good characterizations. For quintessential cop shows I start with homicide: life on the streets and later The Wire. Heavy on the social commentary.
You should stick with it a little more. I think the character of Raymond Reddington is Larger than Life and therefore survives. However the last season he's very challenged the most I've ever seen and it isn't very pleasant at all I don't like the direction right now.
haha, I'm not sure I need to revisit familly dysfunction at this point ;-) Thanks for the recommendation :)

You articulate life's experience in a way that makes true sense to me. It *is* a realist point of view. I think empathy and a self-esteem/identity issue factor in to why I agonize the negative, but it's also seeing people that lost optimism, and that reflects my own experience.

Yes! I'm a big Coen bros. fan. It's been a few years though, so I think I'll rewatch it. Great suggestion, thanks Kelly!

Vaccine woes for #Arizona are purely a political maneuver to punish Pima County for continuing to undermine the machinations of a mad governor.

I think I need help figuring out how to separate myself from the tragedy of what I believed the World Wide Web was. The shame I feel at not having lived up to my own standard. For being sick. I have no other social world. How do we find quality of life with no sense of life left?

I don't either. I only know how to be me bad good wrong right it doesn't really matter it's just all I know. I also know that I feel no difference between myself and everything in this world and I don't know how not to. I feel responsible. I'm ashamed of failure. How do you cope?
Honestly I think it's a human problem. I've experienced it both online and offline. The thing is online a lot of people benefit from appearing to be friends or to share ideals so that they can push their brand. I don't have it in me to be fake and play those kinds of games.
