That's the thing, this "long read" from Patel patriot popped up a couple months back as an "interesting theory" but now people treat it as if it's proven to be true. There are a lot of mental gymnastics involved for all of us, trying to place and cram all sorts of happenings into this or that version of the plan. It's not the first theory people have had and it won't be the last but with all the fake news and speculation going around, it's probably best for us to stick to the facts and the things we CAN see and prove. Just putting all our hope on essentially baseless speculation will result in a lot of disappointment. We don't need datefagging or empty hopes.
I understand. We set ourselves up for disappointment all the time. It's the feeling you get when you notice the gap between what you would like to experience and what actually happens. What can we do? Well at any given situation that you dislike you have 3 options: change the situation, if possible. leave the situation, if possible. If neither are possible for you at the moment, you have to surrender to the moment you are in - not give up but wait until you can either leave or change the situation. There is no point in feeling sad or angry or frustrated at things we cannot change. It is best to accept it for what it is and make the best of it. Know that you always only have to deal with the present moment, the here and now. That's all there ever is. There is no past, it's just a former now. There's no future, just other now's that haven't arrived yet. The current moment is all we will ever have. Become aware of now, this very moment. Your surroundings, the smells, sense of touch, what you can here. Be extremely present. Don't linger in the past (depression) and don't fantasize about the future (anxiety&worry). Take it moment by moment, because no one can carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Thanks, I agree with what you said wholeheartedly...
I'm tired of being disappointed - I know that's on me, I gave people too much credit (?) importance ... I don't have the right words, but it's definitely bringing out the pessimist in me.
Why did God make us social creatures and then make it so hard to be around each other? :)
So I started reading and on the first page it states "his return is immanent".........
This was published on July 2nd.......... on Saturday it will be 4 months from the time this was published.
My question: what length of time qualifies as immanent??

I don't think I could be any more disappointed than I am at this moment. :(.
