After many months of seeing the world in a fuzzy fashion, I am very pleased that my new specs have made a difference and the months of suffering might just be over. My eyes are still very dry in the evenings and I still need to use drops but since I picked up my new specs on Friday, I feel that a new world has opened up for me.

I can once more read without squinting, screwing up my eyes or blowing up the text on the pc to read the distorted text. My eyelid still has the remnants of the sty, the blood blister is decreasing every day because I am using Paw Paw ointment coupled with the Manuka honey drops. Everything is heading in the right direction thankfully. I will continue with the regime that has been in place for the last few months but I’ll scale it back a bit.

My last pair of specs were bought in 2018 I think, and everything had been fine up until I got this sty and then the eye infection soon followed. Just one of the many ailments that I have suffered since I returned to the Western way of life. My new specs were just shy of $900, which is slightly more than the cost of the old pair, so I guess inflation has been kind to me.

In the big scheme of things, I guess it is over shadowed by world events. I never watched any of the 9/11 stuff. America has still not learned from its past, from its mistakes, for its arrogance and stupidity. In all the years, since this has happened I have only heard one voice echo my sentiments of that day. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd said that he naively thought that America might stop for a second and ask, “Why would they do this to us? What did we do?” However, no one did and instead they made up lies, as they usually do to, fabricated a story about Iraq having weapons and that Afghanistan was hiding the source of 9/11. Then they invaded these countries and the war machine was one more back in full motion. The “Hawks” behind Bush were rubbing their hands with glee because all they could see was the mountains of green folding stuff coming their way. All the way down the Pentagon food chain money was to be made and if all else fails we can steal the oil in Iraq….but as usual they fucked everything up and left chaos and ruin.

Ever since the end of world war two the Americans have gone about their own selfish business, doing what was necessary to achieve their goals and the consequences of their actions really didn’t matter to them. The have caused pain and suffering to millions around the world spreading their paranoia and fear of the bogeyman.

As my Mother used to say, “They shoot first and ask questions later?” this is the mantra of America.

Therefore, even as they were leaving Afghanistan they managed to kill one more family with a drone strike. Ten innocent lives taken because some god fearing individual sitting in an air conditioned room somewhere in America playing war games on the computer, in control of a drone completely detached from reality saw water bottles and assumed it was fuel for a bomb…………..

So what else could he do?

He pressed the button!
