Oh Tokyo #foodstr

#yoga thoughts Life is hiking up to a summit Full of false peaks of knowledge and aptitude Once reached one find themselves better than before But the sight of the next peak leaves us realizing there's more Let our egos not grow in this moment of achievement For the weather may turn on our way up that hill We may be pushed back, forced to take shelter Let us be prepared for these moments and grateful still Realize how far we've come and prepare to push on As we climb ever higher the big picture becomes clear And we realize how small our experience is amongst it all We look back at our younger selves so confident and strong Now we're tired but must plod along At the top, the real summit, we sit and ponder Wiser, full of awe, and a sadness our journey is coming to a close As the sun sets we retrace our steps one last time Taking in all the sights and smells and sounds but with a slowness A renewed appreciation, a humble recognition The journey ends where it all began Let us go peacefully through this life And be mindful what traces we leave behind

I will never give this place up

#asknostr is this right? The taught assumption that the modern US Political System is for us and is functional is the fuel that drives the divide in the general population when both main parties supply unacceptable candidates. This is exacerbated by echo chambers that play down the issues with "your" candidate and play up the issues with the other candidate. Because it is thought that it is a functional system and for the people is why we blame the other side for having such dismal candidates, when in reality that's not the source of the issue.
