Where's Peace, Love and Happiness
Peace, man. Make love not war. Flower Power. Give peace a chance. Flower child. I am betting some of you will remember these sayings and more of you will not. These were language idioms spoken in the late sixties and early seventies. The gripe back then was about the Vietnam war and culture in general. Huge swaths of young people protesting their parents way of life and ideals. They were peace loving and passive. They wanted to get along with everyone and wanted everyone to get along. No longer.

Managed, Not Healed
For people living with chronic pain, the most destabilizing realization is not that healing is difficult. It is that healing is often not the goal. The healthcare system that surrounds them is built to manage symptoms, document persistence, and ration interventions rather than pursue restoration of function. Over time, patients begin to notice a pattern. Short-acting medications are readily available. Repeated appointments are routine. Imaging is reviewed, notes are written, and pain is acknowledged. Yet interventions aimed at resolving underlying structural problems, restoring stability, or preventing long-term degeneration are delayed, denied, or classified as optional. The system responds continuously, but it rarely moves forward.

Love is one of the most powerful human experiences, yet it can also be one of the most misunderstood. Many relationships struggle not because love is absent, but because it is expressed in ways that the other person doesn’t fully receive or recognize. This is where the concept of “love languages” becomes incredibly valuable. Understanding love languages allows you to communicate care, appreciation, and affection in a way that truly resonates with your partner, friend, or even family member.

Regression
Did I miss something? Did we just go back to pre 1964, while I was not looking? We desegregated, right? We have been working tirelessly throughout the decades to make sure we stop classifying and labeling people with insensitive nicknames. We removed words that were crassly used, from polite society, right? So, why the heck are some states reverting to racial insensitivity? The most disturbing are the states that have started the charge of regression.

Wave and Smile Boys, Wave and Smile
Flashing lights, flicker all around. “Over here” “Over here””Can we have a moment?” “Can I get a picture with you?’ You’ve made it. You’re famous. A celebrity at the top of the heap. It’s what you worked for, starved for, sold your entire being and soul for. So why the long face?
