Hello and Goodbye? Thanks for your kind words.
I was going to ask why you were draining your swamp hahaha but I figured reading some recent comments may elucidate what was happening and so I went and read some of the comments of those willing to get things off their chest so to speak as well as what you said to them.
I have to say it's easy to let social media occupy too much of your day and it's good for you that you recognise how it has been affecting the rest of your life being on here. Hopefully you have not messed up any important real life relationships i.e your wife and family. For myself it's very easy to occupy too much time on here without trying. If you're going to be on here I think you need to be limiting your spread of streams.
As well as limiting streams, recognize that when it comes to politics in particular there is/are no truly correct positions, only positions which better suit any individual based upon their outlook on the world, which is always based upon their life and experiences. And what I'm meaning or trying to impart to you ls that once you've stated your position on something stand by it but limit yourself (at least on here and other social media) to defending that position. Dont spend the next 3 days toing and froing with someone who is never gonna change their mind on a subject. Do you recall the definintion of madness?
I find that by limiting the amount of time I spend bothering to right the wrongs or is it wrong thoughts another seems to have and instead just accepting their position frees up a great deal of my time and does nothing to diminish me. You can only direct people to things that you see as truths It is up to them to drink the kool aid if they choose, they have a level of free will and soveriegnty which they will exercise if something rings true in them. People make choices everyday that to an outside observer do not look like the correct choices but to the individual making the choices they are still correct. So pointing out what we see as failings isn't wrong to do. But to spend too much time on places like here worrying with correcting them will burn you out, occupy too much of our time and probably lead to little change in the person we are trying to help into seeing a different perspective.
In the Bible depending on which one you read their is a book called "Ecclesiastes" which is the philosopher king. He wrote many wise sayings and phrases. Now whether your much religious or anywhere to the opposite......
