5 Things I Don’t Do Anymore

5 Things I Don’t Do Anymore

Some years ago, if you’d told me I’d change my preferences and habits to this extreme, I’d have said you were crazy. But indeed–I have changed my preferences and habits, and I suspect so too have many of you.

There are lots of things we used to do with some frequency that we simply don’t do anymore, or — we now do them far less often. Many of these things were once pillars of our identity. Now, they’re no longer (as) important.

I don’t share this with any sense of pride, nor do I believe I’m better for the omission. In fact, in each of the examples here, I’m losing something by not doing these same things. However, I also can’t force myself to go back to the way life was before.

Social media is polluted with all kinds of gibberish right now in the aftermath of the shooting.

Donald Trump is being hailed a divine leader by millions of followers. Many elected Republicans are also embracing the God theory. Some say the failed assassination attempt proves he’s protected by higher power. Many Republicans, MAGA-maniacs, and evangelicals believe God intervened and altered the trajectory of a deadly bullet, which missed the former president’s head by millimeters. Trump’s guardian angel made the save! It was a miracle! (* see footnote below)

Divine intervention? A miracle? Really?

I’ve waited a couple of days since the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump before making any public comments. First, I wanted to learn more, which is kinda’ important before leaping to conclusions. Next, I hoped to ponder the facts as they’re known before sharing my public opinion based on incomplete information, or worse, spreading outright falsehoods.
