Cutting through all the crap to get to the somber/sober/serious is becoming more difficult day by day. It is very tiring isn't it?

We use up so much time, effort, energy on blue smoke, mirrors, lies, destruction, bells and whistles. Claptrap cacophony created to consternate irritate aggravate intimidate calculate. It enervates. Where do you go to escape it and when you come back how do you protect yourself from being destroyed by it? :(
