There is a story of two frogs, one that jumped out from the bowl of hot water (because it got thrown in suddenly) and other that gets put in bowl of normal temperature water, and dies because the water gradually gets heated to the point it dies because the water becomes too hot.
\nWe are all right now inside the bowl of pretty hot water, the situation (water) around us has been heated gradually, for years, and we are getting \u201eused\u201c to a new reality and somehow accept it as a normal, while there is nothing normal about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Terrorism and Hate<\/h3>\n
My experience into the topic of hate is very big and deep. It is like everything that I wrote here, real and often not what you expected, or wanted to hear.<\/p>\n
Hate is very powerful emotion, and I have been there, hating people, groups of people, or whole countries.
\nThere were period of the time when that hate simply drove me, was the only thing pushing me forward.<\/p>\n
And all that I can say about generalized hate is that is completely wrong for many reasons.
\nAs a survivalist you are probably used to look for the information in some other ways than regular media and everything else, so whenever somebody \u201epush\u201c you or motivate you to hate generalized group of people (or nation) ask yourself, why do they want you to hate them?<\/p>\n
There is no logic in generalized hate, and there is always some kind of sinister story behind it, deeper story and motives.<\/p>\n
I understand logic and need for \u201eterminating\u201c the people who are threat for our way of living, for our civilization and everything else, and I actually agree with that.<\/p>\n
But I also understand need and logic behind the will of powerful people (fractions, parties etc) to use \u201emotivated\u201c hate to take my freedoms away from me, by saying they are doing that in order to protect me. And I do not want that either. I’ve been there AND seen the consequences.<\/p>\n
Do not allow someone to cloud your judgment by fear and hate, so they can rule you and take your freedoms.
\nTerror works in many ways and from many positions.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it is lunatic who blows himself in the name of a false god, killing a lot of innocent people. Sometimes it is by watching your country slowly descend into something, that not so long ago looked like a scene from a weird Science Fiction novel.<\/p>\n
If I am forced again to hate someone, I will hate him because I decide so, not because bunch of folks who wants to get (even more) reach and power told me to do so.<\/p>\n
Fear and hate are a very contageous disease, watch for yourself and your family, use your brain and common sense.
\nIf you are living in fear and hate they have already won.<\/p>\n
Remember that wars have and can be won by simple breaking the will of enemy, by sheer terror and fear, less by brute force.<\/p>\n
Future?<\/h3>\n
Sadly, I am not optimistic at all. Things are moving faster and heating up more and more.<\/p>\n
I do not know what are the reasons for all this that seems to be happening almost everywhere now, but I simply cannot believe that a bunch of folks who have the desire of a life from the stone age, and want to bring that ‘ideal’ to everybody else, can not be bombed back to that stone age, or at least that should be dealt with when they were just small in numbers.<\/p>\n
As I said, we are all frogs in warm water, just not noticing it. Did you somehow notice, that over some time we are now living in the world where it can be more dangerous to go to bigger events because some idiot may blow himself and kill you? Or that we are living in a time that in week or two owning a weapon might be illegal everywhere?<\/p>\n
Suddenly we are living in times when we are calculating how far we are from possible nuclear explosions?<\/p>\n
And still people call it normal?<\/p>\n
I think we are so close to the SHTF that you do not need to have your vision \u201eblurred\u201c by fear, terror, and hate.
\nNot now, just stay alert, and use common sense.<\/p>\n
Survivalist is not a weirdo, like some folks trying to picture us. He is smart guy who watches for the coming events with clear mind and with kind of a cool heart.<\/p>\n

I general there has always been common sense in being a prepper, but we are clearly seeing recent events will urge many to move their plans and preparations to the ‘next level’ or those who have previously failed to prepare will begin to now do so.
