I love carefully explaining things to people (without condescension) using my gift of clarity, but every once in a while I have a "F**k me, why did I ever come to Planet Of The Morons?" moment.
Today's example: I wrote an article using an analogy of forced broccoli purchase as a parody for TV Licensing in the UK. At the end I used a literary flourish to say I might tolerate a punitive tax on Brussels sprouts. One person writes to me, taking this literally, to say I sunk my argument in the closing paragraph by opening the door again to unlimited taxation. Didn't get that this was a tongue in cheek quip for amusement only.
I just want to give up, score some dope, and mong out for a week. Humans are hopeless. Abandon the rescue attempt of this species — let's go do dogs, horses, and dolphins. They are smarter.

People do things..
Truthfully I would rather deal with the broccoli or the brussel sprouts.
A box of hammers comes to mind.

You have hit it right on target. I say this all the time. These humans are absolutely hopeless. Most don’t even care to think about what’s going on. And we’re supposed to help pick them up? We will see how this all goes at some point!

With practise (and with very real hope for the future I might add) I'm' getting better.

This is exactly why I no longer strive to teach, But I strive to lead. In order to affect change, we must not place any judgement upon that which we wish to change, which is (almost ) impossible to do, so now I just lead people to good sources, and let them them either accept or reject what is being presented. It is not my responsibility to change any ones beliefs, but it is my responsibility to show them the path to wisdom, as the Hermit does.

Martin, we love you! Know what it is like trying to wake people up. Have to use discernment in dealing w people in general. Most are horribly brainwashed and/or hooked on psychiatric drugs, rendering them very easily manipulated by fake news and such. The ones who are extremely dumbed down have turned into zombies and have zero sense of humor. Meanwhile, broccoli and brussels sprouts are the perfect choices; they are love-it or hate-it vegetables!

I hear you, it is truly a test of patience. Last wk b4 my mission, I had another episode of arguments w/ my mom when I'm the one helping her get thru some of her pain/ascension symptoms... But always still in her mindset of me telling that it's all lies & I'm the anti-christ. I just had it then, I told my team, what gives. I'm doing everything to help them, but I'm the one that gets the blow of negativity. I didn't speak to her for a couple of days, to avoid another low vibe arguments from her, to drag my Hz. But w/in a day, she got her karmic pain fr Mother Earth for her behavior of negative judgement against a GK. I hope she learned her lesson from that, cuz she had to ask me on what to do, if she should go to the dr, I said no, just take these Quinine/zinc for 6 days & just believe in the healing fr Mother GAIA or it will not work. I came back fr mission & she's all better. Karma is potent right now for normies/low vibe ppl to teach them a lesson. ⚖️

Or at least the clueless reader showed he “Does not get it”

You keep being YOU (sure “Poke some Smot” if need be... I mean it is a “weed” similar to “wheat” and all 😬)!
Your writing is understood and cherished by the Majority, as we know, some people WILL NEVER GET IT! 🤦♀️

💓Thank you Martin! I have expressed viewing this stupidity factor often .. but REALized Humanity is so deeply brainwashed that positive has become negative, and they do take EVERYTHING literally ... their sense of humor is GONE! 😉YES, it is frustrating to be one of 'those' awakened enough to have the task of informing the human race of the criminal actions of the deep state cabal and their 'government'... yet ALLways felt in this mission that when enough people contribute to raising the level of consciousness, the end result is a successful expansion of the collective consciousness which is changing the entire world in a VERY 💓positive way. I FEEL that now the most effective thing we can do is to align with Higher vibrational thoughts, love and compassion in our hearts to stay in resonance and harmony. And pray for Divine speed for us to NOW walk in the new world together discovering the respect and beauty it has in store for us.
God bless.
God bless.
