The chances that the 1st person you develop an attraction towards being your lifelong soulmate are slim at best.

A man in prison who hurts children is that a grave risk of being harmed himself. It’s my understanding that a man who hurts women is viewed with a very different attitude in prison -why? People in prison are viewed by some as the rejects come of the dejects of society. I’ve even heard it said that many men in prison arevhaters of women. If this is true then I pose the obvious question “Why?’ We’ll be in a man myself, and having very mixed feelings towards the female of our species.. I think I can chime in somewhat on this topic. It’s the power women have over us – more to the point however, the misuse of power. To coin an old idiom of mine, women love having the power to sat ‘no” almost as much as they love hearing yes. The fact of the matter is, not a lot of women but a women are able to handle this power with grace and humility. They get carried away. Some go on a power or ego trip. And make no bones about it, many women have no compunction with regard to making the determination that [labeling] a man is worthy or unworthy, of her affections. People, men or women, when afforded multiple options, will have a tendency to take advantage of that position. Quite often selfishly, arrogantly. And this garbage about trying to pick an adequate partner to provide for you and your children… That line of thinking leaves a whole lot of people out in the cold… Is not very Christian like. There are two very separate realities tied at the hip here. Two sides with wants and needs, and a philosophy in separating the two; preventing one or the other from getting those needs met

My overspending is perhaps a consequence of the philosophy, Always give yourself something to look forward to.

Ralph Waite – His character in his movies never never seemed condescending, confrontational; Always peace bringing, and encouraging.

The things you learned in your childhood often get deluded by the things you learn later in life. The things you learn in life later often seem to become diluted by the things you learned earlier in life [diluted or more porent in both the above].

We fight vigorously, in some cases savagely for the material, for things of an often trivial value, and of a limited supply. And yet we, many of us, DO NOT show even a fraction of the zeal towards that which is of infinitely greater value, and unlimited supply. 🤔 😏🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷‍♂️ A need to battle? To hunt? To compete? Surely we can rise above this can we not? A parable: A man, or woman is throwing thousands of dollars out their window, onto the street. People are lunging towards the ground, fighting for all they can get. One man stands by idle, watching the chaos. When all the money has been gathered, and all the commotion settles down, a woman quite curiously approaches the man, and comments, “Ah, you have learned the true value of life and the dangers of placing too much importance on materialism ay?” Hesitantly, the man responds “No, actually I have a bad back, in addition to a heart condition, and my Doctors say it’s not a good idea for me to get overly excited nor to over exert myself”. 😆 🤔

When you remove every other option, except for one -from a human being; whether it be literally or merely implanted in their mind [to believe], they will likely choose that only option available to them! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷‍♂️

DO WE EVEN KNOW ANYMORE WHAT A HEALTHY HUMAN-BEING IS SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE IN THIS COUNTRY? THEY SAY THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS NORMAL*; MAYBE NOT. BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SUCH A THING AS HEALTHY 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤔

*Someone clearly diluted, or; purposely trying to cloud the reality that there are two types of creatures that roam the earth:

•Those more-or-less full functional;

•Those more-or-less dysfunctional.

They’ve either lost sight of the line between the two, or are purposely trying to further mankind’s downward spiral by eliminating any sort of compass, point-of-reference, or standard to go by! It happens!

My dad gave me a piece of advice on women which I lived by for many years mistakenly, unwittingly. He said it’s better to be a son of a bitch than a fool. Now I’m sure there are women out there that would appreciate this as well, but I don’t need their type.

What’s the message in the movies when so many of the characters live lavish lives and have prominent careers? Or what does it say about us?

It’s very difficult to [be on the] go, go, go and “be still and know I am GOD” at the same time! Something’s gotta give!

Some people seem trapped within themselves; while others seem able to roam outside [beyond] themselves [quite freely]

I’m watching the movie “Red Corner” with Richard Gere, and suddenly there are commercials with primarily Chinese people in them -really? People just keep trying and trying and trying different things to maximize that profit.

Jesus had a 30 year period of preparation prior to 3 ythree or mission. I have had approximately a 30 year period of writing prior to actually adding my first post to this site! Coincidence? I wish I knew what the precise amount of time for both was, so that I could compare them.

The more you rely on the physical the less you will grow in the spiritual. Henceforth, the more your relationships are dependent on the physical, the more they were suffer spiritually -and visa verca!

People have no impetus to change so long as their actions and their attitudes remain concealed.

A society that does not encourage openness but instead chooses to condemn and convict and and criticize people for being open calm a people for being themselves; the cell’s God-created, and yes the cell’s the world created; How can we expect anything but pretense. secrecy, falsehood, shame!

Do you think America is the 1st country to develop a courtroom within a courtroom within a court room a? Preventing the truth from being pesented openly? And what happens to countries, to civilizations historically, which go down that road?

It’s impossible to turn back the hands of time and so hard to move forward from it calm of the things that we experienced during those crucial years where where our being is being immersed with our experiences, to include the lack of experiences. Fortunate for some, unfortunate for others. Most people never complete completely free themselves of the negative impacts of those experiences. It’s. But I suppose in a way, become many of those experiences have an upside to them yes?

Just because a person accused of murder exhibits anger in front of you doesn’t make them a murderer; And just because a person accused of a murder doesn’t exhibit anger in front of you doesn’t doesn’t mean they’re not. And of course people who are accused of murder who exhibit anger can always argue that a person guilty of murder would never exhibit anger openly. The 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

HUMAN WEAKNESS

Two of the greatest examples of man’s capacity for error in terms of his/her perceptions regarding his fellow man [Ironically, in both instances the Jews were involved]:

1.The Jews and Jesus [His three year mission, and the resulting Crucifixion];

2. The Germans and Hitler [The Holocaust].

If every person guilty of a crime plead guilty, how many lawyers would be out of a job? How many people involved would be out of a job?

They say when a person loves something, they tend to do it better. When they enjoy something they tend to do it better. I think the most successful people with regard to relating to others are those that love, enjoy enjoy interacting with others. Wouldn’t you agree – Given my jaded experience with mankind, my attitude towards human-beinfs, and therefore the quality calm the success rate of my relations to other human beings veered ultimately on the side of failure.

More than just a small percentage of humanity have deep regrets regarding their actions. You should not feel alone, you should not feel special in that regard. But regret, and remorse may set you apart from some.

Nowhere in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous does it specify anything in our past which can borrow us from being a member. God said that not man!

There are 2 kinds of people in the world:

1) Those who have faults and care little or nothing of doing something about them (who can’t or won’t admit them);

2) Those who have faults and do (and can admit them).

Which is a better prospective partner:

1) The one who has few faults and is willing to do little about his or her remaining faults;

2) The one who has many faults and is willing to (eventually) address them all?

Who do we have a tendency to pick? #1 of course!

People, tend to be drawn to what they understand, what makes sense to them first, and what is right or sensible second. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Deprived

Complex – People who come out of a traumatic experience come even something which appears to be life threatening, often often develop a complex. People who came out of the depression for example. Is people who come out of an alcoholic or addicted family where there is neglect and/or premature responsibility placed on them, or insufficient love, security, nurturing. They go to one extreme or the other. Isn’t that what this function is at the heart of it all, too much or too little or too late or too early? Anything but getting it right! I realize now more than ever I have been lugging around a “COMPLEX” all of my life, along with a very big “CHIP”. A VERY BIGHOLE coupled with A VERY BIG GRUDGE” -in short, AVERY BIG COMPLEX!!! Unfortunately for myself, and millions of others, I have had numerous [types of] experiences resulting in multiple complexes!

The world with all its issues and then me with my issues – The perfect storm

And then the same issues I dealt with in the home are the same issues you generally encounter out in the world because people are generally the same.

There are many different realities in the world. What I mean to say is that there are many different mindsets and beliefs and missing awareness as well in varying cultures around this globe. Many people of which don’t question or have a thought about that particular realithat particular reality which they are raised under.

To go through life not knowing; is it innocence or a living terror? Some people have some idea of what’s happening in life. Are they any better off than those who don’t? Well I guess that all depends on whether or not what they recognize is worth noting, or worth discarding. 🤔

People are generally interested in a level approach, or an approach that raises them or causes them to look upwards. Of course people with esteem issues are often interested in looking downwards (upon others, or prefer to see things negatively). You Rick, come at people from different angles. When you should come at them either from a level perspective or from a perspective that raises them or causes them to look upward with respect and hope.

Some people do things for money, some people do things to make a difference in the lives of their fellow human beings; most of us are somewhere in between. Somewhere closer to one or the other.

The truth, as opposed to a fact, NEVER CHANGES -and much to our own dismay! Which is why it keeps coming back around much to our own chagrin. The only one who can alter a truth is GOD HIMSELF -MIRACLES ARE SUCH! Lazarus for example died, NOTHING COULD BRING HIM BACK -EXCEPT GOD IN HIS INFINITE LOVE, INFINITE POWER! 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

We must be pleasant in our approach and attitude towards one another -not servile or scraping.

There are many different types of human-beings in the 🌎. So 🤔 DON’T EXPECT ANY MORE, AND DON’T EXPECT ANY LESS! 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️😌😔☺🥰🙃😑😩😆😴🤨😳😤🤬
