My reply was heartfelt. I live with someone whose parents and family suffered under Communism for decades. He doesn't see any respite and is waiting for a knock on the door. He's angry at being treated like a '4th-class citizen' due to the jab pass. He sees my optimism as naivete that will kill us. We dance around the subject of why there is no 'optimism' for him. My winning argument is to seize the day, take 'quality of life' out of the hands of evil and live your best life.
I can tell it was heartfelt and I truly do appreciate it, thank you.
It’s tricky. It can be pretty tough at times to feel optimistic, though I do trust God will pull us through this, Q, Trump or otherwise. And I think optimism from us is needed in order to do our part and “meet God halfway”, if you will. [they] stop at literally nothing to demoralize us because in order for [their] plan to work, they need us to be in a state of despair so we will accept - even beg for - their inverted “salvation”. The challenge lies in remaining optimistic (because we know God has already won) in the face of unspeakable evil and unending attack from every conceivable angle, and to do so without falling into naïveté because we ARE fighting for every life that might be saved including our own. And half those lives we are trying to save are mindfucked into fighting US tooth and nail in defense of those who would gleefully murder and enslave them! Wow it’s insane to write that out! And that’s why despite my horror and shortsighted doubts, I have Faith. We need God’s grace and intervention in this war and I know we are receiving it in myriad ways.

Beautiful. Thank you. That resonates.
