WHERE TWO OR MORE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER

There’s things people can do and there’s things people want to do. There are things people cannot do and things people do not want to do. We continually encounter both sides of this coin, often ignorant of which is the case. When we discover people we care about can do something but refuse to do so – It is often very painful for us.. Many of us experiences with God who we are constantly reminded can do anything. I have set it many times:

“You would be better off asking somebody who has it to give and does not want to, than to ask somebody who doesn’t have it to give.” But perhaps this is always the case.

A fight may require two or more participants -but it only takes one to destroy a relationship.

They say the United States really hasn’t changed all that much

Sidenote: Oftentimes, companies don’t act until it becomes ๐Ÿ“ˆ profitable. Oftentimes, companies fail to act when to do so would otherwise be ๐Ÿ“ˆ profitable. Many of the changes we are witnessing today -due to bias, prejudice, ignorance, ๐Ÿ’ฐ… are long overdue!

JOHN DENVER

Recently saw the John Denver story on TV. I had watched it many years ago but it seems to me there was a different actor portraying him. Anyways, what I gathered from the show was that he suffered deeply from the relationship with his ๐Ÿ‘จ ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿผ.This along with other life experiences affected his relationship with his wife Annie. I think the loss of that relationship was far greater than whatever it was that he gained which caused the separation. That’s not always the case with people.* I think he was a man in a lot of pain -I could be wrong, but the above description suits my own personal experiences perfectly. I have a great love for the man’s ๐ŸŽถ And having become somewhat familiar ๐Ÿค” with his own story -it just touches me all-the-more deeply!

*We all have hopes, dreams, desires, even needs that we are able to bring to life in varying degrees. I think the limited successes or failings along these lines, strike us a bit differently when they are due to our own limitations thrust upon us by circumstances that were beyond our control -and yet ๐Ÿค” in addition to suffering the adverse effects of the limitations themselves, we suffer the inevitable consequences of those limitations as well ๐Ÿ˜”

ALL OF MY LIFE

I think all of my life I’ve had the wrong mindset, the wrong perspective, the wrong idea about people and certainly attitude – It’s hard to like people when you’ve had so many negative experiences experiences. It’s hard for people to like you when you’re tinged with dislike and contempt for the world in general.It’s hard for people to like you when you’re tinged with dislike and contempt for the world in general.*

*There are a lot more people out there in the world that dislike humanity than you might think. How do I come to that conclusion? More people are inclined to conceal any feelings that might interfere with their survival, their success, their serenity, their conflict-free lifestyle, their acceptance from others…-than there are people willing to give all that up simply to vent their feelings or allow them to be known. I’m not one of those people ๐Ÿ˜’ which is probably a big reason I’m alone and unsuccessful ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

WE MAKE CHOICES -OR WE ARE WHO WE ARE -AND SOMETIMES THE CONSEQUENCES AS SUCH, RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE LOSS, OR BEING DENIED SOMETHING AND NEVER KNOWING WHAT IT IS TO HAVE OR EXPERIENCE IT. HUMAN BEINGS ARE VERY… If you’re not in the Gray zone where most of them congregate -you’ll never be accepted. The further away from that zone you are, the fewer people you are likely to encounter willing to accept you.

You can say the same thing 20 different ways, and touch 20 different people.

You know, it was 7 ร— 777 times that I have forgiven this person or that for having hurt me -AND I’M ๐Ÿ˜ซ TIRED!

TALE OF THE TAPE

An indication of The Times we are living in:

โ€ขPeople should be surprised when you don’t apologize not when you do;

โ€ขPeople should be surprised when you’re dishonest not when you’re honest

โ€ขA weak man with a strong will is stronger than a strong man with a weak will.

Sidenote: I started out preceding the writing or principle with the scenario which brought to my attention the ensuing principle.. But very quickly I found out that it was too difficult, too time consuming and that in many instances by the time II attempted to write down the scenario I had forgotten the principal.

Ever find yourself somewhere calm anywhere, and all of a sudden you look over and there’s a creature right there next to you? I remember at a keg-party ๐Ÿฅณ once, a man had a black widow under his armpit-alive and crawling. Ewwww…

When my aunt and Uncle approached me about some money they wanted to give me for a house, I thought they were doing it out of love and not because I had been there helping them for the last several years. When I stopped helping them, and their granddaughter and husband started helping them come moneys were shifted away from what I was to get and what my cousin his cousin was to get -towards her and her husband. I did what I did out of love -not for ๐Ÿ’ฐ. All those years assisting them, and I never even knew I was getting any. It just seems to me that what they did, like so many other things they’ve done in the past, was done out of a sense of gratitude, or indebtedness- Every time I did a little something for my aunt she gave me a little something, whether I wanted it or not -EVERY TIME! My brother for some strange reason who knows nothing about his father’s side of the family, is the same exact way. You give him something and he wants to give you something right there and return on the spot. They just can’t seem to receive out of love without some need to give back. But the thing is this; outside of this scenario they never give! I remember doing some yard work for my Uncle when I first got sober, and he offered me $20 I turned it away. I said no it’s OK but he insisted. And without even thinking these words came out of my mouth, you wanna pay me so that Idon’t come back later saying you owe me. And with a sly little gesture, he acknowledged that. It’s sad growing up around people like that because my grandmother who raised me wasn’t… ๐Ÿ˜”

They say the way to a man’s โค is through his stomach. In some cases you could say it’s through a woman, or through his labido The way to a woman’s โค is through her children.

I JUST DON’T GET IT ๐Ÿค”

Why would anyone of higher intelligence, significant intelligence make moral, philosophical, spiritual is spiritual improvement of man their number 11 priority? I know that Einstein did a lot of writings along these lines. I’m not sure how many Tesla -but clearly he had the intelligence and the โ™ฅ the concern for his fellow man. ๐Ÿค” So many people have raced to build upon the technological world we live in -money? I don’t know what the ratio is it is concerning technological advances to philosophical advances to philosophical, moral, spiritual advances insofar as when men are introducing nn an individual and collective level. The recipients of these offerings/advancements clearly have a preference-meaning the human raceโ€ฆ Societyโ€ฆ

Sidenote: My aunt is very delicate physically and very frail emotionally and yet she has a mouth and an attitude like a tiger! I’m not sure about all that. I’m not sure what all that’s about ๐Ÿค” She says she feels like crying when she looks at the stain on her roof below the leaky air conditioner you’re. But she never shed a tear when I told her that her son molested me when I lived with them as a young child. She never let it be known if she did. And her attitude upon being told was anything but empathetic. Months later she even went so far as to ask me to pray for her son calm and to forgive him so that he could go to heaven. That was the most empathy I saw out of her, for the perpetrator!

God doesn’t require our prayers, and neither does he need to let us know how we feel or what we need-He knows! I noticed in “The Poem of the Man-God” He was asking the apostle things that He likely knew about in advance. But you cannot approach a human being solely on that premise. There would never be any interaction! If God wants to interact with his children; God also wants his children to grow in his likeness! Hence, the interaction, the need for prayer on our part… Additionally, Jesus didn’t need to make any gestures when working miracles -He did so for the benefit of man and not out of necessity for Himself – And He explains this in “The Poem of the Man-God”.

You don’t raise your voice and yell and scream and resort to violence when dealing with the deaf ear of the rich and powerful and delete. Just like they themselves do to us, you slowly and meticulously wear away at their weak spots, their vulnerabilities… attack them where they have dependencies and interests ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ IT IS RIDICULES HOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE POWERLESS OVER CORPORATE AMERICA AND THE GOVERNMENT. The 2 things these 2 entities want and fear most are our money and our unity. And we give our money up like we’re powerless to do so otherwise. And we lack the ability or the willingness to overlook our own fears, mistrust, pride, lies about making it on our own just fine… So we refuse to unite -falling right into their hands. As long as we keep throwing our money at them, and as long as we refuse to unite -they will always have the upper hand. RIDICULES! Some people (in power) have stated that the masses are like cowsโ€ฆ well let’s stop acting like cows so they can stop laughing at us -herding us around from grassy-knoll to grassy-knoll.

A person born in 1957 is 63 -I was born in 1963 an I’m 57 ๐Ÿค” numbers have an amazing…๐Ÿ‘

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU

Some people try all their lives to be in with the in crowd, to be with the elite of the elite -and never manage to make it. Others have no compunction whatsoever to be around the elite of the elite, and yet they find themselves -for whatever reason -smack dab in the middle of them all.

EVERY TIME I attempt to sit down and address an issue with family, it’s like handling a piece of delicate ๐Ÿ”ฎ -I have to choose my words carefully, there cannot even be a hint of blaming, or ego… I practically have to take on the guise of being the one in the wrong TO GET THESE PEOPLE TO LISTEN! Otherwise, they will become urgumentative and defensive -this has been the case with just about every case where I confront someone since I’ve lived here -and not just with family -bunch of damn fighters (where are all the lovers?) ๐Ÿ˜

Sidenote: From time-to-time we human-beings have been known to say stupid things, or truthful things -sometimes OTHER PEOPLE listening around us ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ don’t know the difference! Broadcasters in sports have been reprimanded for being guilt of “either or…”!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

If Maria valtorta wrote the poem of the man God herself in 4 years or in 40, bring 40, she is a greater brilliance than William Shakespeare.

“Whatever may come Lord, whatever sacrfice(s) you have in store for me -JUST MAKE IT COUNT LORD!” ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

People in the town I live in are much more sensitive about things than other people are where I’ve lived elsewhere – Anything that offends their EGO or their PRIDE ๐Ÿ˜ค

“Do you want to be right -or do you want to be happy?”

There are musical groups that there is just something about them… Something supernatural. The Beatles! Pink Floyd!

There is a precise place in the universe where each of our souls feels most like it belongs there.

Find a place where you can be your absolute self and you will find yourself there -if you haven’t already.

THE WALKING DEAD

The walking dead – I use this term many times with Ana Anna 10 or more years ago to refer to people who are not alive and who are not quite dead spiritually or emotionally. You will see what I’m referring to more clearly in a moment.

People come most people tend to dwell in the Gray zone between โšซ and White. You can think of being pulled into the black zone out of the Gray zone when something tragic happens. You can think of being pulled into the white zone out of the Gray zone when someone comes along and tries to nourish you spiritually. When people get pulled in either direction karma often times the sometimes they’re put off, go into๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ a panic…

I’d like to be like Typhon but I’ll settle for being remembered as remember as someone who made a difference for the better.* ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

*Try walking into a room full of rebellious people, defiant peopleโ€ฆ Speaking of things which go entirely against their grain. That’s what the past 40 years in Alcoholics Anonymous meeting has been like for me.**

** Daisy, our little rain dear Chihuahua doesn’t like it much when I attempt to pull the thorn from her paw -she nips and she growls! Many times, people don’t know you’re trying to help them. When they say people are animals…
