    Exactly, Mexicans tend to be warm and friendly and welcoming. If you live in Mexico for 5 or 10 years you're considered to be an honorary Mexican, totally the opposite of life here for an expat. Fortunately I've never felt the need to belong, but I certainly don't feel like I belong here, even though I love it here, and I will likely be here for the rest of my life. 

    I disagree regarding belonging, I certainly feel I belong here (at least in my village). When I once mentioned to the village headman that I needed to extend my visa he was quite shocked, "You're one of us, you've been here 20 years, why do you need a visa"? When in addition I told him about the 90 day rule he shook his head in disbelief. When my missus turns up for a funeral without me it's immediately questioned and I have to show up to pay my respects. They even tried to put me on the board regarding the money collections by the monks at the village temple, which I refused and I'm usually thrust forward along with the headman to greet government dignitaries. So yes I feel at home here.

    What realism have you accepted, that you're going to die during the next 5 years? Most people, including me, consider themselves lucky reaching 80 and we realise that  we are in the later stages of our lives, but just remember that we are a long time dead, there's no rush. Do your best to stay reasonably healthy and we'll speak again in 5 years time!😉

    Statistics are hard to argue against. I don't see death as a tragedy, I accept the wisdom of nature with the realization that although death marks the end of the manifestation of the 'me' it isn't the end of unconditioned consciousness. Be that as it may, my only concern is staying alive long enough for my son to complete his higher education. There is comfort in the inevitable, it relieves one of the need to decide anything.

    There again, just perhaps the most sacred day of the entire year for Christians, just one day mark you, of inestimable importance to a very large number of people worldwide should be left to them. The LGBTQ etc community can strut their stuff the other 364 days of the year.

     

    As for hate, enmity and division, well how difficult would it have been to say, "since it is Easter Sunday we will move our special day to another date..."

     

    I must confess, as a Catholic, I am incredibly disappointed in Biden.

     

     

    Being Catholic you probably wont like god either.

    You mean like infamous transphobe Caitlyn Jenner?

     

    “I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days – a self-proclaimed devout Catholic – as Transgender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen,'” he wrote.

    Of course, you won't find that on MSDNC...

     

    As a devout Catholic mutilating a perfectly good god given body.
