Don't give up on hope. Hillary Clinton stood up after the recent atrocity in Las Vegas and declared that now was not the time for politics. Then she said to blame the NRA. The politics free zone did not extend beyond the full stop. A US newspaper is being criticised for a cartoon that made the point that the victims, liking country music, were probably gun toting advocates who didn't matter, but probably deserved it. "What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas." Only that phrase refers to sexual experimentation and gambling. The atrocity was not that, and the pain felt by the community is not addressed by the likes of HRC, but by President Trump. While Hillary is trying to work out how illegal guns could be made, well, illegal, Trump is talking to those suffering, and listening, and offering hope of a way forward.
A dear friend I have never met is in chronic pain. He is considering suicide, but he has wisely not done so. Not suiciding means building resilience for the young in the family. It is not good to suffer, but it is good to persevere. Nothing is ever as good as people hope. But love, grace, redemption, forgiveness can elevate things. Tomorrow is worthwhile. Even if you are in chronic pain. I know this as I have endured, unmedicated, eight day stretches of devastating gout. I could not sleep, rest or stand. And in the middle of it, one develops tunnel vision. I will never face that again because of medication. It is one reason why I scorn the NSW coroner's office for ruling the death of Michael Hutchence as suicide. Because the coroner wanted to prevent female fans of feeling pain because Hutchence was sexually dysfunctional from drugs and attempted auto erotica? Only one of my mother's three sisters, all dead, died from old age. And others in the family too. Suicide is a curse that hurts the loved ones.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.

I've pubished it in Hardcover too. Limited publishing because it is a non standard size to accommodate the amount of text.
