Everyday tens or hundreds of people in this country put their homes up for mortgage so they can help a loved one get decent legal representation. Or they do it for medical bills. The poor give what they have to people riding around in Mercedes Benz and Bentleys… This country is a slot machine or a lotto, or a bank, It’s not a community! A community is something where people work together to get thru life’s struggles – what I mentioned above, and there are many more examples, is people praying on other people! And we justify it by saying what? Everybody else is doing an! Point that’s the rules of the game in this country! That’s life! I went to school for 10 years so that justifies…

Jodie Foster in the movie contact said “I always thought life was what we made it”.

Ya know…🤔 I really don’t get out much. Soooo… it begs the question “Where is all this coming from?” I mean, I know where it’s coming from but… any earthly explanation… I own roughly 1000 books of which I’ve read 4 front-to-back (all bios: Sir Sean Connery (1); Charleston Heston (2); The Carpenters (1)(I think); Oh, and a paperback when I was about 12 or 13 “The Bionic Woman” -the remaining 996, I flipped thru the day I bought them and rarely have I ever picked them up since.

The reason the Alcoholics Anonymous program works so effectively is that it comes from within us and not from outside of us. The reason prison is so ineffective is it comes from outside of us and not from inside of us.

A lot of people live like kings today compared to kings of the past. They have that drive and that determination and that necessity to live as such!

In our country, what’s different today than was different 2000 years ago? We have more things! People are pretty much the same: good; bad; ugly Why doesn’t that seem to change?
