Woke up to a guy on TV talking about how routine is important for those with dementia but I wonder how significant routine is for people of any age? We had an easy time with our kids because we maintained routines. Even our cats love their routines but I can never keep to one. I always need change.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Orwell

Power worship blurs political judgement because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible. […] This habit of mind leads also to the belief that things will happen more quickly, completely, and catastrophically than they ever do in practice. The rise and fall of empires, the disappearance of cultures and religions, are expected to happen with earthquake suddenness, and processes which have barely started are talked about as though they were already at an end.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-05), “Second Thoughts on James Burnham,” Polemic Magazine

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Person after person has said to me in these last few days that this new world we face terrifies them. I can understand how that feeling would arise unless one believes that men are capable of greatness beyond their past achievements. The times have usually brought us a leader when we needed him. The times now call for mankind as a whole to rise to great heights.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1945-08-10), “My Day”

A quotation from Emerson

There is no virtue which is final; all are initial. The virtues of society are the vices of the saint. The terror of reform is the discovery that we must cast away our virtues, or what we have always esteemed such, into the same pit that has consumed our grosser vices.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Circles,” Essays: First Series, No. 10

@pedestrians1st

I’m sick to death of the gaslighting from this wretched government. All the worse since they supposedly were offering #change

First pensioners, then the sick and the vulnerable, something as fundamental as water isn’t safe in their hands. There’s just as much sound and bluster as from that buffoon Johnson. Missteps all along the way.

Give over!

I'm very grateful for the summaries you take the time and trouble to provide.

But yes, this is such an important issue and as you say, if someone tries a hashtag search...

I wonder at what point people will say 'Enough is enough'?

I'm sick to death of the #gaslighting by government. Bad enough under the 'Tories, but to be promised #Change and receive #LiNO

I feel SO helpless. Ranting on social media isn't enough but I'm overwhelmed by caring responsibilities.
