Peace, brother.
I'm just saying you don't face the loss of your health care, or the loss of your home, due to Republican policies.
I do. If a Trump Supreme Court rules rent control unconstitutional -- I'm homeless.
Our circumstances are not the same.
I go with what Bernie says now when told he could have won -- "So what?"
Your circumstances most certainly are not the same, Cliff.
For clarification, I would advise you not to talk about future homelessness and loss of health care to someone who has already suffered both --- and worse.
Just sayin'...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
