You can take any pass you like. What you can't avoid is truth. Sorry. But like I said, you don't know and you don't know you don't want to. I understand very well where you are comming from and that you don't see. Here's a couple to play with. "Why does this always happen to me." "Just my luck."

Your truth is easy to avoid as it does not apply. To you, it may very well apply but don't make the mistake that your truth is the only truth.

You do not at all understand where I am coming from and you have to do much more than make the false assumption that you know me for you to be omniscient. Oh, and I'll play when you have something much better to play with. Those two are the salve of lesser folk.

Try as you might Moonbeam, I'm just not buying any snakeoil tonic.

Well I had to try, jjones. I stand to gain so much from every one I convert. I have to pay the rent, you understand.

You'll forgive me, jjones, but when people act like rats in a trap, ordinarily one expects evidence of the trap. 😀 Have you given any attention to what you think you are reacting to?

Doomsday scenarios are frequent enough in human culture to they have generic as well as specific names. They are a persistent part of our mythology because they reflect a deep inner truth. We don't know it, and don't want to know it, and don't want to know we don't want to know, but we are all survivors of the end. We have all been through a tremendous horrendous event called childhood in which we were forced to die to what we really are and become the phony things we think we are. We were made to feel like the worst in the world. Buried in unconsciousness is a traumatically profound emotional experience that we are forever in danger of remembering. Fear, fear of catastrophe, happens when external events begin to remind us of this past in ways we find difficulty maintaining repression. We fear an end that actually already happened.

We are caught in the most profound of catch 22s. We already died. To be reborn we have to die again. We have to remember, to re-experience, and realize we bought a lie.

OK
