This is a great thread. It's also why you can lessen that feeling of time speeding by and everything blurring together by simply doing *different* things. Get out of the rut. Start a new volunteer thing, take on a different role at work, take a vacation if you can, etc.

I've learned over the years that anyone and I mean ANYONE that's more concerned about people playing the system for disability benefits. Than those on disability currently suffering and not receiving enough support. Does not truly care about disabled people.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
