Often on Sundays, we take snippets of media political discussion and deconstruct the false premise while overlaying the reality ignored by the propaganda. This is not that.
In this short Sunday talk, we share the voice of a nurse who is very centered in the issues we face and share her wisdom, advice and encouragement. “Patriot Nurse discusses the nature of compliance and human servitude. When you’re looking around and everyone else seems to be complying, don’t feel bad for being the lone man standing.” WATCH:
Expanding on the outlook to overlay the issues surrounding forced vaccines in the workplace and all the propaganda therein. Allow me to share some insight about YOUR value and YOUR worth from the perspective of a person who spent a lifetime engaged in complex systems with large numbers of people.
It may be an uncomfortable or politically incorrect thing to say in modern times; however, twenty percent of the workers in your system of employment deliver eighty percent of the productivity. Yes, 20% of the workforce around you delivers 80% of the result. This natural truth has been consistent for decades, and within that truism is the nature of man.
What you need to remember is.. If you are reading this, YOU are almost certain to be part of that twenty percentile that your employer or system operator depends on. You are a doer.
You are likely one of the top performers at your job.
You are the person they rely upon.
YOU are the most critical worker in a system that is mostly comprised of less productive people – and that fundamental truth is the important part to remember when you consider the impact of non compliance with the vaccine mandate.
If doers do not perform their function, it is not the same as the generic Sally Smith not showing up to work. The twenty percent of the workforce that are doers produce eighty percent of the result. Ask any leader within any large organization or operation and they will affirm this basic truth.
Doers are smart, they are beyond average in intelligence, and once they understand the mission objective they will solve problems independently. Doers are not sheep. They are smart enough to do independent research and become well skilled and knowledgeable on any issue that is elevated in importance.
Doers don’t just dive into a project without thinking. They control their enthusiasm long enough to formulate wise objectives and figure out a production plan in order to succeed in whatever they’re set to do. Doers give themselves enough time to think and plan, but they don’t stand around debating, they SOLVE.
Doers challenge the status quo, looking for ways to improve their task efficiency. Doers do not skimp on quality despite their drive to accomplish tasks. Though they thrive on increased productivity, and enjoy seeing improvements quantified, doers make sure to retain and improve standards for quality.
Doers are self-motivated. They look forward to working hard and they keep an internal score on their own accomplishments. Doers are proficient at their tasks, and they have an exceptional work ethic. They fuel their internal drive by setting more and more challenging goals for themselves and seek continuous improvement.
Doers don’t sit around waiting for someone to tell them what to do. Doers accomplish goals and objectives with a speed and efficiency that is often annoying for those who do need to be told what to do. Doers tend to move on quickly to the next task at hand right after they finish their last one. However, doers also appreciate pausing to review their success and they enjoy watching reasonable celebration for achievement – but they don’t dwell on it, they self-motivate to the next goal.
These traits likely sound familiar to you because YOU are a doer. YOU are part of the critical 20 percent of the larger group who accomplish 80 percent of the work. So, when you contemplate that only 20% of the workforce may stand resolute in their independent thoughts for not accepting a forced medical intervention as a condition for employment; remember, that twenty percent are the most critical of critical workers.
That 20% of independent, self-motivated, exceptionally productive – perhaps to a fault at times, workforce are the backbone of any operation, institution, system or workplace. Those who own or manage the workplace know exactly who that 20% are; and they will not want to lose the doers.
The employers and managers will not want to lose the doers, because they know the doers are the ones who can keep hundreds of plates spinning on sticks without being told which plate is wobbling; and which plate needs attention. Those who are in charge of keeping the plates spinning know the system will collapse if they are only left with plate spinners who need to be told which stick needs attention. The bosses know they will exhaust themselves having to give constant direction to the non-doers.
You are not crazy.
You are a doer.
YOU are critical.
Now, it is time for you to leverage your work ethic by reminding the system operator that you are not participating in the madness of the forced vaccinations. Believe me, if the bosses (writ large) know the doers are not going to comply, they will radically modify their own perspectives on any mandate. The system cannot lose the doers.
THAT my friends is how critical you are….
Wow!! Outstanding video! I keep being reminded of the sacrifices of the Signers of the Declaration and the small percentage of Patriots that actually fought in the Revolution! We will fight this Fight and we will win. Or die trying. Thanks Sundance and Thanks to Patriot Nurse!!
This brings to mind the old saying, “If you want something done, ask a busy person.”
Ain’t that the Truth!
Her message has been so Point. On. this whole time.
This is yet another Patriot Nurse vid that I will be sharing around.
And she is so right>>> the history of human beings is *largely* the history of serfs, willingly doing the bidding of a few.
haha. >>>> On. Point.
Just noticed that.
Mixture of Spot On and On Point?
Either way PN is a gem!
Thank you, Sundance i need this today.
Her voice strengthens our beliefs. NO F in vaccines, NO F masks, we are AMERICANS.
Inventory control, production , sales, all function on the 20%/80% model, any one who is in IE knows that.So yes, if you are a doer, your situation is critical!
«if you are a doer, your situation is critical»
It is not my way of thinking or living. For about 45 years I said, wrote and teach that Sodium (salt) is necessary to human beings. Life began with oceans full of Potassium. Vertebrates appeared in oceans full of Sodium. Our cells have most of body Potassium inside and most of Sodium outside. What I defended was anathema when high ranked doctors said that Sodium was dangerous.
But I was a doer. I withstand professional attacks but patients were my friends and judges. Never I felt in a critical situation.
Have peace
I’ve worked at gov’t contractors and private companies in IT for 35+ years. Pareto’s Law has always been true. My current job is to lead a team of engineers in support of complex, critical training systems with hundreds of millions of lines of custom code. What you have described here is precisely accurate in my worlds: those in the 20% that solve all the HIGHLY complex problems understand how to sort through all the data and misleading information and facts related to the Plandemic and tyrannical controls.
The first clue to me this wasn’t about health was the refusal to reassess conclusions and decisions when signifcant and sometimes overwhelming new data proved the initial conclusions could be false. I don’t have to be a doctor to understand that critical issues with highly complex, imperfect systems often have root cause far different than what the initially observed signals indicate. You either keep an open mind and reassess as you go, or the issue remains unsolved 5-15X longer than would be necessary with honest consideration of new information.
In my job, a technician can walk in the door to provide a key fact, say a server is powered off in a far corner of the data center, and not know it’s importance to the problem. Just because s/he doesn’t understand the system like my team does does not mean his new information is meaningless. Occassionally, it’s THE key information.
Same thing is true for the Plandemic – ignoring “unpublished, non-double blind empiracal data” from front line doctors who have treated 100’s of patients saying HCQ and Ivermectin work is akin to ignoring the information in my example (but far, far worse). Purposfully ignoring it, censoring it – crimes against humanity.
The only outcome our “leaders” consistently decide in favor of is control and 100% vaccination. There’s something evil about the shots that they’re trying to hide by removing the control groups. That alone is enough to make me refuse.
Resist. Refuse. Start a parallel economy. It’s the only way forward now.
Great analysis
The unvaxxd are the last remaining control group, which is why they are attempting to eliminate/diminish/obscure us by all means necessary.
Just like they did in the early vax trials. Ended up vaxxing everyone involved, so the “results” were irrelevant.
Brilliant. Please stay with us here to provide experience from your perspective. We need your power.
You have a healthy thinking.
You are honest.
Hahaha! I didn’t know that I was a “doer” until I read this, but if the shoe fits…when something needs to be done and done quickly and done right, I always get the call. Same with my younger sister, and strangely enough, we are the two out of our five siblings that have said “no” to masks and jabs. “No, not now, not ever.” Thanks for the video – very reassuring. It is important to get to that place in your life where you really don’t give a shizz about what other people think. My ancestors were all pioneers, religious freedom seekers, tough, determined men and women, so imagine that!
I think it’s called the Paretto Principle.
*Pareto
aka, the “vital few”
Sundance, this is one of the best things you’ve gifted us. Patriot Nurse comes right at us, does not blink, does not waver. If it makes anyone uncomfortable, those are precisely the people who must hear the message. Thank you one million times.
Pareto’s Law. True in so many ways. One of those details that “stuck”from my university days.
Channeling some serious Ayn Rand there my friend!
I’d like to add some additional observations:
The 90% she’s referring to are not necessarily born into slavery and serfdom, they all too often choose to be such. Why? Because being a slave relieves you of personal responsibility; it relieves you from having to make decisions, as all important life decisions are made for you; it relieves you of the need to be better, faster or smarter; it relieves you of any desire for self-improvement, as your life situation is the same as everyone else around you. Slavery relieves you of any need to set personal goals and accomplishments; you do the minimal amount of work necessary for there’s no reward in going beyond what is expected of you.
It is one thing to be forced into slavery under threat of death or lashes laid on hard, it’s a whole different matter to idly sit by as our freedom is quietly taken away piecemeal under the guise of “social unity”. For many decades we’ve been conditioned to accept that the good of the collective supersedes the rights of the individual — the independent free-thinking sovereign Man is looked upon as a social misfit to be locked up and snuffed out. It’s easier to be part of the collective, individualism invites criticism and unwanted attention. The individual is a pariah to the collective, someone to be immediately labeled, segregated, ridiculed scorned and ultimately targeted for banishment, even destruction.
Slavery is required for the destruction of self, a necessary condition to become a compliant member of the collective. The collectivist mind must be purged of all concepts of self; self respect, love of self, self preservation, self actualization. The collectivist must become what writer / thinker Eric Hoffer once described as the True Believer.
The process of creating the True Believer has roots going back to the beginning of the progressivist social movement that started in the early 1900’s, giving us our first Progressive president, Woodrow Wilson. Today, we’re reaping the fruits of those efforts as the True Believers descend upon us. The individualist sovereign Man, the thinker, the maker, the doer is disappearing from the evolutionary landscape . Only, it’s a kind of retrograde evolution, like Australopithecus wiping out Homo Sapiens.
A very good essay on slavery.
This country’s power base has become “Borg”. They want us all to COMPLY. The Borg wants to suck us all up into one group think. “Resistance is futile”, Borg says. We’ll see. TY J for the resistors of this nation and the world.
Yes the 80/20 rule is a well established fact. If you have ever worked on a committee, any committee in any setting even in school, you know that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. I have found this to be true in high school, college, and in corporate work settings. It’s human nature. It’s why socialism/communism doesn’t work and can never work. As soon as you reward people for doing nearly nothing and correspondingly don’t reward people for doing work above and beyond the productive people will stop producing since it doesn’t generate any greater reward.
This is word-for-word from Italy’s political-economist and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto (1848 – 1923), whose “80/20 rule” –“law of the vital few” or “principle of sparsity”– asserts that, in all human societies, the productive upper quintile (20%) supports the other 80%.
Corollaries to self-evident “Pareto Distribution” include the interesting fact that this “sparsity quintile” is a three 24-year generation phenomenon covering a human lifetime (“saeculum”) of 72 years, whereby “fathers create, sons manage, grandsons dissipate” a heritage.
In other words, at least in dynamic Western societies, a first generation’s “favored few” drive all that era’s subsequent development: Born too early, the tools do not exist; too late, and others have been there already. For example, virtually all the 19th Century’s great innovators plus mid-20th Century’ and later tech-moguls were born within five years of each other.
This also holds In socio-political contexts: From 1788 to Civil War, America’s formative period lasted precisely 72 years; from Lenin’s coup in 1919, his mass-murdering USSR lasted 72 years to 1991; from Mao’s takeover in late 1949, Peking’s ChiCom satrapy is at its 72-year cusp in 2021.
In detail, no such turning-points can be predicted. But human behavioral psychology is absolute– as founders’ posterity confronts their era’s 72-year expiration date, coteries of innovators fill the vacuum left when the disaffected 80% just walk away. Now three generations past Hiroshima, facing cyclical 102-kiloyear post-Holocene glaciations from AD 1350, the ten short decades to AD 2125 will see more existential changes than all post-1600 centuries together.
«fathers create, sons manage, grandsons dissipate»
In Portugal we say «father worker, son baron, grandson thief».
Thank God I’m not the crazy one. All the rest of my friends and family are becoming serfs.
SD: Wow. I’ve never connected the dots between being a doer, one of the 20%, and my fierce (and sometimes ferocious) independent streak. I guess it was those character traits that made me know in my gut from the very beginning that the shutdowns, the masks, the anti-social distancing, and especially, the injections were dangerous, destructive, potentially disastrous, and things I would not participate in. All of it became the “hill I will die on” almost immediately, and I’ve never wavered or even doubted my instincts on all of it.
Pure brilliance
I can second this and I tell you I just informed my boss this very thing last Wednesday. As I will not be taking the vaccine.
Good for you, Walt.
If more people had stood up at the beginning, things never would have gotten this far.
Thank God some are standing up now.
RESPECT.
Thank you!
God’s plan is not known but if you want to make God laugh tell him your plan…have faith and rejoice be happy. Ps we do know how this story ends. God Wins!
so here is another example, also a true story (personal).
aviation maintenance, avionics, almost 10 years…mostly night shift.
with 1/5 of the personnel compared to the day shift (both 12 hour shifts, 24/7/365) in 3 different MRO’s, the night crew could accomplish on average about 120 percent more work cards to completion (the troubleshoot, the actual repair or replace, the inspections and the airworthiness paperwork. )
how do you explain this?
well by the numbers and the “time”, it doesn’t make sense, all things being equal.
the reality is that there are LESS WHITE HATS and LESS DRAG on the night shift than days!
So without the unnecessary bureaucracy , nights perform more effectively and efficiently.
We raised this issue up several times, for different reasons.
the one MRO where such feedback was greeted with excitement and positive reception, was a single owned private company.
From that we re-structured the entire pay and compensation system. We adopted a non-hourly wage basis, but one that is work card completion based. You attach a specific number of hours alloted for each kind of work. With some discretion and allowances to supervisors to modify the actual payout if there are circumstances warranting it.
essentially, you make employess operate out of a bid contract basis. If you get a 2 hour card, and you finish in 2 hour, it’s the same as getting paid for doing 2 hours of work. if it takes you longer however, you get only the 2 hours (with special provisions, as mentioned above, when it’s needed). if you finish in 1 hour, you can move on to another card.
If you are a top performer, you could end up getting paid as much as 24-40 hours worth of work in a 12 hour shift.
The company embraced this model by negotiating these terms with the carrier. The idea is that the carrier gets their aircraft back into revenue sooner. The math isn’t hard to sell, when the cost of sitting in a hangar can be well over 100,000 a day! (opportunity cost for not flying revenue…insurance doesn’t cover that!)
there were other things we did to improve performance (and safety) that rewarded supervisors and leadership and team members who really performed above and beyond.
The other two MRO’s resisted this kind of restructuring because of union and big corporate interests…again, illuminating the axiom: less is more.
It’s the small nimble private companies that generally know how to do things well and swiftly and can adapt quickly as the environment changes.
which also helps to explain why the big huge corporations really would prefer not to have any of that competition! it’s not so much they are threatened financially, but the risk of losing really highly skilled and qualified people and tradesmen who the small private companies aggressively recruit and attract. That’s part of the reason that motivates the large corporate giants to squeeze out the competition….the skilled market of people. Why work for Delta, in house maintenance, where the rewards are never going to be any better than the guy just above you …if you can go work for a smaller fleet and experience a real life changing salary increase!?
Thank you for this post.
I took a buyout in 2020 as it was too lucrative to turn down. My plans were to retire within the next 2 years anyway. Upon departing my manager told me if he needed something done I was his go to person, that I was in the top 5% of his staff. His words made my 40 plus year career worth all of my efforts. My reason for this post is not to brag or put myself in a spotlight. Rather, it’s to simply say I was asked to come back as a contractor a few months later, as the replacement employees were terrible. Productivity is down, personnel and discipline problems are up. I politely said no to their offer. Enjoying retirement way too much to go back to work. Apparently 80% of the chickens have come home to roost.
Looking a little further down the road I see other horrors. Consider what many here know, that 20% are doers, 20% are do-it-wrongers, and the other 60% are sheep or plodders or as I see them, coasters.
We are on the cusp of great horrors, but what shape will they take, who will be in charge? What direction will those horrors go?
I speak here of that 60%, for there is the danger. The go-along-to-get-alongs. I see the evidence in many places that the tide may not have yet fully turned, but it’s no longer rising on the left. Sure, the rulers are getting more strident and desperate, and their goons are more sadistic. Still the resistance is gaining strength and there is evidence all around that the voice of sanity and decency is heard. But what of the 60%? Where are they? And what happens when the tide turns?
Yes, consider that. When the tide turns, the winds shift, the going is easier our way than the wrong way, what then of the 60%? Of… course… they… will. They’ll jump on board and pretend they were always with us. And they’ll be the loudest voices calling for the harshest consequences for those who didn’t switch sides quickly enough to claim a seat. They will be as loud and as insistent then for the opposite of what they were demanding last year. They will not be willing to back down and allow sane, reasoned calm to return.
Later, who will be strong enough to reverse course to slow that very momentum that we so desperately need now? Who will be able and willing to stand up in coming days and temper justice with wisdom to slow the rebound once it is in motion? Who will prevent the mirror-image purge of the left that the left has sought against us when the 60% are all rabidly seeking meaning and amusement in the other direction? Who will speak to protect the guilty when the guilty are no longer in power? If we lose all humanity in the process of retaking civilization we lose. How can we retain balance?
Please explain that “protect the guilty” notion you advance.
What she says is so true. Look at how many mindless sheeple there have ben the past year and a half never questioning whether what they were told to do during a pandemic made one bit of sense . You have seen sheeple wearing useless masks while driving alone in their car.
What she says regarding most people complying because it is easier than to resist also explains why so many cops worldwide have complied with any order given to them by their political masters never questioning whether what they were doing was moral or not. They didn’t have the strength to say this is wrong, I want no part of this, I will not enforce this tyrannical dictate. They were more more concerned with their pension and paycheck rather than doing the right thing . They justified it by telling themselves they were only following orders and it was part of their job description.
Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus while virtually every African American complied with an immoral and stupid law.
All movements in history were started by a minority. The majority sat back and did nothing.
We can’t sit this out: we’re dealing with a criminal conspiracy to usher in global socialism.
We are dealing w criminals who have upended whole societies and countries, and watched ordinary people suffer and die, to advance their own agenda.~

Very true. And 80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers.
I hate to burst everyone’s bubble but that 20% of doers include a whole bunch of vaxxed folks as much as unvaxxed. Being vaxxed included a lot of every day Americans including President Trump. So as much as the frequent posters here are antivax there’s probably an equal number of treepers who did get the vax and simply don’t engage in being ridiculed by the other treepers in the forum. Now I am sure that both vaxxed and unvaxxed treepers find common ground in being against mandates, passports, vaxxing children, etc. We all want our stolen election fixed and our rightful President Trump restored and the cabal destroyed. It is too late to be unvaxxed and time will tell if it was the right thing for some or not. But we must all work to end the forced vax regardless of how we feel about the vaccine.
There should be no ridicule. I made the decision to get vaccinated because of my age and at the time it was all voluntary. Knowing what I know now, there is reasoning around lessening symptoms if you get covid. That is a positive. And of course there are way too many side effects that are big negatives. No one should force anyone to succumb.
Look, the vast majority of people have little to no problem afterwards. I had Phizer with only the sore shoulder and zero after effects. Does that convince you to get it? I would never assume that.
So, any of you know someone that drives and died from a collision on the roads? Do you go around telling everyone else not to drive and ridicule those who do? Of course not, so just stop bullying.

From one whose vaccinated and regrets it.
Whose should be who’s.
AWESOME!
Most people are unaware of it but fully 1/3 of the population of the USA in 1776 rejected the revolution and formed “The Loyalists.” The Loyalists were those who went north to establish Canada settling largely in Ontario. There is strong genetic evidence for the idea that certain behaviours, certain genes influence our behaviour. Risk taking behaviour is known to be written in our genes. Some people are more risk takers than others. There is a disproportionate number of high risk and risk taker genes in the USA because that’s who crossed the ocean and made new lives. I would not be at all surprised if the tendency to submission and compliance with authority is also written in our genes.
Wow…..Well said. I have never been a follower and never gave a damn what anyone thought of me except God.
My family and I live in Inslee’s Leftist Lala Land, about an hour from Seattle. I’m surprised he hasn’t sent medical personnel, accompanied by armed people, door-to-door to vaccinate the defiant by force. We need to get out of here and are trying to save up the money to move, but with prices going up on everything, it’s not easy. We may end up just jumping in the cars and going. We REALLY don’t want to do it that way, though.
She needs to run for elected office.
It’s time for enlightened Patriots to become the HERO we seek.
Disagree. This is exactly what we don’t need now– more politicians, more people getting sucked into this phony electoral con game. Maybe one day the republic will be restored and we can have citizens serving short elected terms but that’s not possible now.
Clearly, she’s a prophetess of our times. She’s knows her purpose.
I guess escaping communism (Cuba) gives me a different perspective. No government is ever going to have control over me. My family and I suffered way too much for that to happen again.
I’m one of those who (reluctantly) accepted the vaccination due to having several conditions that make me vulnerable to the infection. This was at a time when people were dying because they went to a funeral or other event where one infected person spread a deadly illness to many others. .Like most people who get vaccinated, I have had no negative reactions from the shots, not even the temporary discomfort that I experienced with the shingles vaccine.
I refuse to condemn those who get the vaccine as well as those who choose not to. My young priest and his father both got Covid despite being very careful about avoiding situations where it might spread. My neighbor is a nurse who quit her job at a (NY) nursing home after more than 20 residents died, and then one of their young nurses died – this was all before the vaccine was available. I am trying very hard to make sure I can still see more than one side of the issue. I haven’t forgotten the history of previous pandemics, either.
I am disgusted by the mandates and I am disgusted by the government-sponsored ridicule of vaccine doubters and opponents. I will not condemn or ridicule others for their decisions. I have strong right-wing medical people in my family who are dismayed by family members who won’t get the vaccine. I trust their judgement and am thankful that they do not ridicule or condemn others. This seems like a hopelessly complex situation and I see virtuous intelligent people on both sides. I pray for clarity of mind, peace in my heart, and compassion for those who have a difficult decision to make.
Very fair minded. A word of caution. We are socially conditioned to avoid confrontation and adopt a neutral stance whenever possible– usually some version of, “there’s no right or wrong, we just have different opinions…” While that approach is sensible for Aunt Gertrude’s fruit cake (good ir terrible?), that should never be the stance on things like experimental drug testing. We CAN know whether this jab is good or bad if we care to find out. Just the fact that jab proponents go to such great lengths to hide data, falsify data, avoid autopsies, censor honest questions, violate long established laws on vax safety, and punish anyone who resists is all the evidence we need to know that these jabs are evil and to be fought at any cost. I’m sorry you took it. I hope you will refuse the inevitable boosters.
WOW!!
Speechless & Inspired.
God Bless & Protect Patriot Nurse……….
Father Anthony a Monk in 251 saw it coming……..
“A time is coming when men will go mad & when they see someone who is NOT mad, they will attack him saying, “you are mad, you are not like us.”
Well, this doer is ready to retire and do other things.
Just keeping at eye at our 401Ks so that Joe’s Bidet won’t destroy them.
Husband and I have never been followers. Never fit in anywhere. Mind our own business. In all of our jobs we were the doers.
We answer to God not man. God has raised us up for such a time as this.
Stand firm in your faith. Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us.
Her words … like a sharp arrow, tipped with truth.
Listen up…
I DON’T NEED THE APPROVAL OF MEN…
A-M-E-N.
I work in the defense industry….Yes, I am mandated, yes, I am retiring…it will be interesting though, as they want to know status 1 week (10/29) before the system will let me submit my retirement notice (11/7) – no earlier than 30 days before my last work day (12/7j so! My leverage will be after the fact…we shall see! My concern is the hundreds of employees that do not want to be vaxx’d, yet do not have the financial ability to resign/retire, and are frantically looking for other jobs prior to 10/29.
So, for what it is worth…my tiny bit of sand in the gears…my boss is not happy, but we shall see where this goes…
Looking forward to my next adventure!
Notice, too, how this frames our current struggle. We are not up against 60 or 70% of the country. We’re not even up against 30%. It is our 20% doers against the bad giys’ 20% doers. The remaining 60% of the population will go along with whomever wins. Yes, we need to win over that 60% as important human terrain in this info war, but the struggle is really w their 20%ers. And we are winning that fight. Every week more truth is getting out, the Regime gets more desperate and resorts to more overt coercion. That’s not the action of a winning side. That’s the team throwing up a hail mary pass and hoping for a statistical miracle. Their coercion will only get them more pushback and harden our resolve.
After some 420 comments and three days I can write:
Most of them are well educated and with a Christian background.
The Nurse ‘interview‘ is sensible, nice, human, and teach us many things about humans.
I do not disdain personal episodes: they show us the complexity of how we are.
A very powerful work from you.
Thanks
Love the “look” at about 12:20. This woman is so well spoken and so correct, I’ve never seen anything like it. She is a leader and is trying to bring out the best in humanity.
All my life people have asked me things like “Why do you care about that?” Why don’t you just let it go?” Why are you messing around, it’s good enough” “Why can’t you just go along?” My answer was “because I feel I need to do this!”. I’ve often wondered about that “am I alone in this” and she has answered the question.
She mentioned that most of the people that just do what they are told have no principles. That describes the vast majority of the left. This is why they mask shame and twitter rant and call us names that really describe them. They are told to do whatever just like the Auschwitz guard or Mao’s red guard or BLM or Antifa. They are all doing what they are told and have no principles.
Defund the Be@$t!!
If 20% of us refused to
partake in the Ponzi scheme… imagine.
Rule followers. T@>< p@yer$.
My mother and sister were trying to guilt trip me in to getting the jab. We don’t want to see you on your death bed wishing you’d taken the vaccine. Soon my youngest brother joined the chorus. I was lighthearted about it stating that I was fine with being the only dissenter. I’ve always been a free spirit. However, i about lost it when my brother who is just 17 months younger than I am told me that the unvaccinated were holding the country back and he was going with the science. Incredulously I asked if he’d done any research at all. Well, he said, I’m not in to conspiracy theories.
It seems that a great number of the population is completely brain washed. My husband says that when he tries to speak with his father about the state of things, his father will listen for a couple of sentences and turn zombie-like to the TV. There’s no way to penetrate the cocoon that he’s immersed in. It has a surreal effect to have someone just switch off. Snap.
Wow, I needed this pep talk!
Four years ago I lived in a major city with a fancy job living in condos and apartments and pretty smug about my ascension in my chosen feel. But I left, because I knew it was an empty life. I wanted to find a way to earn an income while rescuing animals.
So I moved to a more rural area, bought a couple acres, and started scratching out a living.
The funny (ironic) thing is it took leaving the rat race to learn I was NOT really a doer – I was clever, adaptive and hard-working, but also dependent and entitled. Now on my own (without the job security and platitudes about success), I realize, I don’t know how to do ANYTHING – I don’t know how to grow things, fix things, move land, build fences, maintain tools and supplies, you name it, I can’t do it. I waste time in defeatism. And I get bored or tired outside very quickly (even as I always thought myself so “outdoorsy”!). I’m impatient and fight laziness, constantly. (I think, can’t I hire someone for this? Of course – finally – I’m realizing how expensive it is not to do things yourself).
And no one gets it. From the outside, it looks like some version of mid-life crisis, or a made-for-tv movie of city girl goes country; except that four years on, I’m not tending some charming rustic mini-farm, it’s more like a disheveled semi-maintained way station for straggly cats and migratory birds, unkept crops, half-done projects. Plus me and my old dog.
And every decision I make only isolates me more. (Did I mention my town is uber-liberal?).
But I’m not complaining, or stating regret. If I hadn’t done all this — I would have gone along believing things about myself that weren’t true. Over-estimating myself. Not knowing what I didn’t know.
I’m closer to God. I’m growing genuine strength and confidence. I spent a good chunk of Saturday putting up food for long-term storage, and by the end of the day, I felt authentic pride. I have certain things I do every day that I know in my bones are making me a better person (e.g., prayer). Four years ago, I’d have talked or thought about doing these things … and then let that fleeting feeling of aspiration substitute for *actually* doing it. And then I’d have thought of myself as the sort of person who does them.
And I think, if the mandate hit, when I was back at my old job — what would I have done?
So I guess this is meant as some sort of commentary or confession on “doers.” An honest reckoning with oneself is vital.
I am in a really hard situation and need help. I’m disabled and chose NOT to comply. My husband did and my mother did. I have nobody to support my worry about did I do the right thing. My husband won’t take me to church so the only person I see everyday is him. I talk to my mother, my sons and their wives and grandkids don’t live near me. I did get to see my youngest granddaughter baptized in the name of God Almighty. I cried I was so happy. I just need a group of people to help me st firm in my decision. Please.
