How do you react to the things that mean most to you being messed with? A lot of people don’t seem bothered by the things that bother us because they don’t mean as much to them as they do to us. But finding what does karma and then witnessing how they deal with it… Not everyone has the same value on things that we do. But more importantly, not everyone deals with things being messed with that mean the most to them in the same way as we do. Kind of complicates things a little bit. The message I’m trying to impart to you is the manner in which you deal with things being messed with that mean most to you.

I’m guessing between 25 and 50% of people won’t go away if we don’t push them away. This includes our relationships.

How we act and react to[wards] others has everything to do with how they act and react to[wards] us

You might be surprised at how many people in our world try to succeed at failing. The broken heart’s, the traumatized spirits… These adverse effects and many many more effect our willingness to engage in life, to engage with people successfully. Negative experiences often reverberate for decades andecades and take the life right out of many of us in one area or another. I think it’s a bigger problem than most of us realize.

There are 2 kinds of success:

On the one extreme it’s the one that everybody knows about and makes the person a lot of money – Movie stars, rock and roll….. On the other end, it’s the one that doesn’t come with a lot of notoriety or money, ateast not while you’re alive.

Perhaps 2 of the most important factors in success are:

1)One’s potential brought to fruition [and properly applied];

2)Do you want to succeed or don’t you [that’s obvious you say?]?

I’m not a fan of people buying things at Walmart and selling them for double or triple the price online. Nor people renting movies online for a fee when they’re free on tubi.

In all your travels and in all your trials and in all your endeavors, if you haven’t got peace, then what have you got?

GOD knows beforehand what’s best for us; what’s good for us; and what is even going to make us happy. But often times we get angry at GOD for using this foresight because we ourselves don’t trust in HIM, trust that if we should go into it, our time would be wasted, and people we care dearly for could get hurt badly [we among them]. What I’m really trying to say is that we can either trust in GOD’S foresight, or get burned because we lack foresight? But how many times have you or I gotten mad at GOD for not letting us have our own way because the only way we can know what’s not good for us is to suffer through it when HE HIMSELF is trying to spare us all that! 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷‍♂️ This isn’t coming out quite right. Sadly, up until the moment we go through something 1st hand, we think we know better than GOD. I would have to say most of us are guilty of this.

The more we want something the more the lines between right and wrong get blurred. The more powerful the feelings we have associated with something, the more the lines between right and wrong get blurred. The more money that is involved, the more the lines between right and wrong get blurred.

The fact that you exist can work against you or for you. Depending on what you do while you exist; depending on how much value you place on your existence [I haven’t even mentioned the value you place on those you love].

“In the name of progress”. Progress towards what?

Screwing up and then learning from one’s mistakes should be the 2nd or 3rd option [last?], not the 1st.

There is a minority currently existing in this country; Let us pray that it does not spread into a majority. A group godless in their beliefs. A group that believes that money comes a power, and mankind himself is solely responsible for his future. An animalistic and tyrannistic mentality – It didn’t behind the veil of seeming intelligence and technological advancement. Not even their own children come and their own children’s children, and their own children’s children will be safe from their parents – In this ensuing barrage of self indulgence and twisted reasoning.

All these resources and all this energy coming out of people in this country and yet we still have millions of people who are suffering and doing without. To me people are either doing what they want to do, what they have to do, but very few are doing what they need to do. We need to be considering our fellow human beings above all other endeavors.

GENERAL OMAR NELSON BRADLEY (February 12, 1893 – April 8, 1981) 

Bradley is known for saying, “Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than about peace, more about killing than we know about living.”^[76] “Omar Bradley – Wikipedia” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bradley

We choose who we choose to get along with. Sadly, money has a lot to do with who we choose to get along with. People do things for money they will not do for love.

You take a certain combination of cultures and produce a young and something incredible happens. There are many other things out there that are unknown to us that are incredible, fascinating…

It seems to me that in this age and time as man progresses forward things are only getting worse rather than better. What precedes the cycle of man getting better and what precedes the cycle of man getting worse? Right now in this country man is full of pomp and self will and materialism and sloth and a lack of compassion and charity for his fellow human being.

One’s progress in a relationship will be considerably hindered if they are unwilling to be vulnerable. Vulnerability seems to be the last thing we human beings give up and it is the thing that stands in between us and God and it is the thing that stands between us and others and it is the thing that stands between the alcoholic and God who can only do his work once we let him in. Two things, again let me reiterate, when there are multiple things propping something up it becomes increasingly difficult to counter it. Fear and ego are generally the 2 foes responsible for many traits in us stubbornly refusing to go away, to relent. It has been my achilles-heel all of my life. Surprisingly at a very young age, I was able to get sober and allow just enough of God in. Fear stemming from years of hurt and threat from the world around me has built a callous wall of that very fabric. Ego, probably runs in my nature or in my family 1st and foremost. As I’ve stated previously, some people go through a difficult childhood but ego does not appear to be their 1st line of defense. Defiance and so forth. Nor cruelty as kind of a payback. While I didn’t mutilate animals, or rape and torture, I hurt people -sometimes unprovoked. 😪 Mostly psychologically and emotionally, at times physically.

Funny how often we end up hurting people who had nothing to do with hurting us rather than hurting those who hurt us. At a traffic stop somebody runs past it cutting us off, or at another traffic stop somebody flips us off, never to be seen or heard from again. But if the next traffic stop… We do the same to an innocent person.

As children who do you think our 1st gods are? The adults around us for better or for worse and ingrained in us the vision of God. For many of us it stays with us throughout our lives no matter what attempts are made at intervening and giving us the true sense, the true essense of who God really is, and what he really stands for.

Mixed feelings

If you’re in a relationship with a person who doesn’t know how to care or how to love extensively, your relationship was in trouble before it even got started.

Honesty is always the best policy; sharing with certain people isn’t always!

The alcoholic’s montra “resting satisfaction out of this world”. I feel it’s slowly slipping away. It’s a terrible feeling letting loose of a world you often turned to for comfort and satisfaction. But i’m told it has its upside.

We don’t want the world to be United [I believe certain people, very powerful people are trying to bring the world under one umbrella (not of love but of money and of submission)]. That’s all the excuse one man needs or satan needs to come in and be world leader. Besides, JESUS said HE came to bring division. If this world ever decides to unite in its present form, it won’t be under GOD trust me.

There are more than a few men in this country passing on to their sons the notion that sex with a woman with no commitment, with no marriage come in some cases without protection is not only permissible but a right of passage. I’d like to see that turned back around.

It’s hard to build a bridge with the water running. On the other hand calm or once part of it has already been built bolt, when the water is running you can possibly finish the job or add to it. It’s hard to build something inside of us in the beginning when we are placed in a position where things are eroding it away before it even has a chance to get built [instilled in us]. I feel that has been the case with regard to my attitude towards women, with my lack of skills regarding regarding dealing with human beings… because of the attitude of the people here towards men, towards each other.

For whatever reason, it’s a terrible thing to be limited in one’s ability to love. Spared only by the lack of knowledge of what true love is. However those who would receive it are not spared.

You cross paths with certain people while you can, and then when it’s time to go you go.

Relationships lie asked until you reach a point, until you come across something you can’t accept. For some people this is [always] a mere eventuality.
