I certainly appreciate the frustrations of trying to communicate these issue to friends/loved ones/co workers...
goodness knows i have gone thru every human emotion since my eyes were opened...and i guess that is the key..'being human..human beings'...we are all just doing the best with what we have to go on!!
I learnt early on to compartmentalise what i was learning and strategize how i could integrate this knowledge into my own life while trying to tell others!!!
( not easy !!)
my immediate family are totally baffled by even basic stuff regarding politics/world conflict/global issues, so i have had to seperate from them emotionally than i would have chose...but for me, there is no going back.....this journey gets more interesting by the day!!!
personally have had to be very careful to use language that people will identify with...so instead of wading in and blurting out " THE ALIEN INVASION IS COMMMINGGG!!!!" ARGHHHH
instead, i might say something like..."your probably aware of the global conflict getting bigger from TV? well, i have recently come across information which is very interesting and might open your eyes to something bigger going on...would you be interested??" i usually manage to get some people willing to go on the net to research....
sometimes, i get 'the look' followed by the comments.." ohh not you aswell believing all those conspiracy theories...i thought u would know better than to get involved with all that rubbish!" that is when i politely back off..and dont waste my energy trying to convince....just move onto the next person who might listen lol....
try not to panic !! i know its hard to juggle ordinary chores and the daily grind, but you are doing your bit out there....just keep trusting your instincts..it doesnt matter if other dont believe...you just do things your own sweet way regardless!!!
stay close to those who share your views!
