I want to leave my job, my wife, my life behind. Throw my guitars in the van and take off.
What keeps me here? How is she going to live? Who will take her to the doctor?
Is it the duty-bound masochist in me that stays?
The coward that wants to keep the approval of ... neighbors and strangers? The "prestige" of having a marriage that lasted 33 years? I live a lie. Is the admiration of others for staying married so long really worth the stagnation and death of rotting away inside?

Life will soon be past

One reason for not getting divorced is so you can look down on people who are. It feels great!

Stay and make your marriage a happy one. Or leave, and find someone who brings those butterflies back.

Or be REALLY special. Stay and keep staying and keep staying MISERABLE until "death do us part". In a perverted way, I am proud to be this stupid!

All teaching is indoctrination. The public schools promote socialism, so young people are swooning over Bernie the socialist. The media promote ignorance. They provide meaningless propaganda masquerading as "news".

We need to be indoctrinated by the truth.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17)

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Isaiah 8:20)

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. (Proverbs 4:2)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (II Tim 3:16,17)
