Test for Echo

I've liked the band Rush since I first heard them on the radio around 1990 and 91.  Radio air waves were the most accessible way to engage with popular and diverse music.  The classic rock stations would play Rush regularly, and I was especially impressed with Tom Sawyer, to begin with.  I was age 14 to 15 then, now in July 2025, I'm 49.  During these years I've listened to Rush sort of on and off, and remain loyal.  The band is one of many interests I hold, let alone musical. Two interesting themes that aged well with their song Test for Echo (T4E) is our human need for mutual affirmation, and the competition for people's attention.  Also, the song has excellent anthemic drumming by "the Professor," lyricist Neil Peart, may he rest in peace. 1.

Gaslighting, and Parental Alienation

Sunday May 26, 2024 922am A new day, a cup of coffee. Memorial Day weekend. Time to write. Fortunately I feel good balance. Was looking up an article I had saved almost 2 months ago about gaslighting.

Here's an entry I made yesterday to share with certain relatives. I'll post it here rather than sending, because many may reject it, or be triggered negatively by it, due to the animosity that is part of the alienation, described below. Goo...

Seven deadly sins and their antidotes

[English and Spanish] The seven deadly sins—lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride—are traditionally countered by virtues or antidotes that promote moral balance. Here’s a concise breakdown of each sin, and its antidote based on classical and theological perspectives: Lust: excessive desire or craving, not only sexual Antidote: Chastity or Temperance Explanation: Chastity emphasizes purity and respect for oneself and others, while temperance moderates desires and fosters self-control. Gluttony: overindulgence in food, drink, or consumption Antidote: Temperance or Abstinence Explanation: Temperance promotes moderation in consumption, ensuring needs are met without excess. Abstinence can involve fasting or restraint to counter overindulgence. Greed: excessive desire for material wealth or gain Antidote: Generosity or Charity Explanation: Generosity involves freely giving to others, while charity extends love and resources to those in need, countering selfish accumulation.
