Internet Self-Care Day 2022

Well, I hate to be this ETERNAL curmudgeon, but we have yet another one of those days I feel is for those found lacking.

This failure of intellectual vigor and interest leads us down the trail of 'follow the herd' mentality and gets done only if everyone else is doing it.

I give you, Internet Self-Care Day.

This is an annual observance held each 21st of August and is ostensibly dedicated to using the internet to locate resources that assist you in taking care of yourself.

Now I tell you, between the orthodox practicing monkeys on webmd and the buffoons on wikipedia there is not much left to either the imagination or to say.

Can it be that my orientation to life itself is far too lofty?

If you cannot handle your own research in those matters which involve your personal well being there is some lapse in your existence.

Food, exercise, sleep, medical or dental care, and other choices which constitute aspects of daily living are theoretically the purview of the person living the life.

Perhaps this is why there appears to be a sharp decline in longevity as evidence by the local obituaries anymore. Seems like the bulk of those passing are young people.

Who is dropping the ball here ?

I suppose it may be a valuable construct for the disorganized huddled masses but really and truly a good electronic calendar and a browser will allow you to find a track all the resources you require without a day being set aside for the task.

I for one can handle all aspects of my existence without utilizing a "day" to provide me with the impetus to take care of myself.

Good luck in the future and I'll attempt at being more cordial.
