Responsibility-phobia? Consequence aversion?

Why have we, as a soci­ety, devel­oped such a rabid fear of fac­ing the con­se­quences of our actions?  Not all indi­vid­u­als are like that, of course, but far too many are!  Every day I hear peo­ple at work (cus­tomer or cowork­ers) who claim that they should not have to face the con­se­quences brought about by what they have cho­sen to do.

Isn’t that some­thing we learned as children?

Probably not a good thing

I think I am slid­ing into what promises/threatens to be a very deep depres­sion.  I can feel it com­ing and I really don’t know if I have the energy to fight against it.

Political

As I sit here in my office, I can hear a few of my cowork­ers whin­ing and bemoan­ing the fact that Obama won the elec­tion.  They are actu­ally stat­ing that the United States is going to be destroyed now that we have a Demo­c­rat as pres­i­dent.  They seem to for­get that only one pres­i­dent ago, we had a Demo­c­rat in the White House.

And, of course, there are some who are ter­ri­fied of the fact that the new president-elect has more pig­ment in his skin than they do.

Samhain is over for another year

Last night the grove had our Samhain obser­vance.  The rit­ual went very, very well and we had twelve peo­ple attend­ing.  Not a large group really, but not a bad num­ber.  Four of the peo­ple there were new, and I think they’ll be back; they seemed to enjoy the rit­ual quite a bit.

I have most my freakin’ mind!

As if I’m not doing enough, how exactly did I let myself fall into a project of work­ing on a grimoire-style col­lec­tion of Druidic magics?
