Grand Turk Island, known as "The Wall", where the ocean floor drops directly to more than 2 thousand meters, just a few steps from the beach shore.

In college, there was an idiotic thing that "intellectuals" would do, where they'd take outrageous positions, and then, like modern-day Sophists, they'd "defend" them.
Typically, it'd be something like "Slavery had good points" or "Hitler wasn't truly evil", or "Letting the poor die is good for Society

Don’t invite me to the party
Though we look, speak,
Live, die seemingly the same,
I am not one of you.

I will not fly the flag you fly,
Will not recite false pledges,

In the American lie.

Don’t invite me to the party;
I have always had a different plan:
To meet my friends & Thoreau
In our souls' beautiful woodlands.

• Ukraine defense to save Europe from a hegemonic, genocidal attacker.
• Ukraine ‘s defense against a 21st-century hyper-genocide.
• Ukraine’s defense of its culture, language, sovereignty, and legal borders.
• Ukraine ‘s defense for its survival and that of every free nation, against brutal hybrid war by its lawless neighbor.

Ego is rooted in anger. The child throwing a tantrum, for life is not fair…for I should have complete control…for the world should revolve around me.

Anger can also be less selfish & soul born: fear, grief, suffering.

The maga-gloating is an egostostical tantrum of adults who never grew up.

What an angry society humanity has created.

Emily Dickinson got it so right: “The soul selects a society if her own, then—shuts the door…”
