9. Hold your head up! THEY are thieves, and stealing won, not hate

See relevant threads. Look up Greg Palast.

A while back, our house was ransacked by thieves.
They didn't take much, but we had to pay $700 for new jimmy proof locks.
We didn't torture ourselves or feel crushed because of what some robbers did.

Stay strong. I get joy from meeting the nice people in my neighborhood and at my job, and doing things to help them- or just exchanging pleasantries.

And the sky is still blue. The earth green. Breathe deeply to help with pain and grief.
I've felt bad too, but we can't let the bastards get us down, can we???
Hell no.
