I am mushy in a way that if my family wouldn't be with me down there in the first place, then I wouldn't dare take the plunge. I would just take my immortality privilege for something else.
But I agree with you. Something is really wrong with our society nowadays, I prefer to just spending my time in my own little nook. I read your earlier post about the entitled fella and wanted to reply there too, but I had to go out and forgot.
Arlyn, the world today is...well I think it's broken. I don't like saying it as many don't like hearing it, but I'm a realist, pragmatic, and so it's how I feel. I wish it was not so as I have two nieces and a nephew that have to live in it when I'm gone, but I think the world (humanity) is doomed. You mentioned the entitled chap and yep, point in case. Modern society in action.
I understand you'd not leave your family so lava swimming to the centre of the earth is not on your agenda, but if you ever care for a general lava swim, look me up, I'll go with you. It's generally done in the nude, but you can wear your bathers if you wish. No peaking at me though. 😂
Many would still like to believe there's hope... But the way people are acting (at least as I see online) it's so far off. I prefer to distance myself from negative people, it's a waste of time and emotions. That said, I hope to prepare my children for the future that awaits them. It's scary. If only I can take them off grid. But that's selfish of me.
Hey, a general lava swim sounds fun! Not that suimsuits are relevant in that environment so I guess nudies it is. 😂 The steam off the lava could be thick so visibility might really be low. No worries about the peeking.
Myself too. There's no point in pulling on the cloak of someone else's negativity.
Hope for it, and prepare for it. That's all we can do. I have hope too, but hope without action is pointless.
It's what I would want to do if I had children. Selfish? Hmm, possibly. It could save them though, and would be a big imposition for the parents brave enough to do it so, selfless maybe.
Ok, but if you think I'm not peeking, you're bonkers! 🤣
But there's no "unsee" button, so good luck. 😂
Ah yes, that's a very good point indeed. I'll say no more...and just wait for the lava swim to occur and see what pans out on the day.
