My family keeps tabs apps on a lot of things. When they feel they owe you they’ll tolerate a request or 2. Once they no longer feel they owe you they’ll bite back. But what about when they’ve crossed over my limit? What about when they cross over to the line where I’ve given much more than I’ve received? Lines they’ve crossed over in their old age and grown dependent upon me. They don’t seem to complain much about. Could take them to the doctors to the pharmacist to the grocery store to the lottery store or to the car repair store to Albuquerque to look at marble tables… And I might be able to get away with asking for one thing at the end. By the time it’s the 2nd thing they’re feeling taken advantage of. If family and support are the important things in life, I know little of it. Scratch that on our way home from an all day trip to Albuquerque and back looking at marble tables able I was brushed aside when asking for an extra tortilla on my enchilada when we got home. Grudgingly my aunt made a central auto, but refused to add the extra tortilla.

In my early years I treated the world like it treated me – Nothing to brag about you see. Now I’d like to think “I treat it at least a little better than it treats me”. The world hasn’t changed much, on the other hand, I could not make such a claim without myself having changed atleast some.

My personal experience in relationships s two fold:

1) There are always gonna be plenty of reasons or opportunities to speak out againstt unfairness in relationships because people are generally selfish, and in the back of my mind I’m thinking 🤔 A lot of women who believe they have bargaining power in their relationships their relationships simply because of what they have going for them feel that they are entitled. If you want me you’re going to have to pay for it.

2) People don’t want to hear your complaints, they are the way they are and it is the way it is and I’ve seldom met anyone willing to change if it went against their own advantage.

You seldom meet people in positions of power giving it all away for the sake of the poor and the median lesser advantaged. Why rise to power just to give it all away? Although there are some of those in the world.

Having a basic knowledge of the universe; A basic knowledge of the country’s laws you live in; And the thorough understanding of the laws according to God are all is all basic… The 1st is what one might call a more mechanical sense of right and wrong [a how-to-do, but contained in it or many lessons on all levels and carrying over to the following two]. The 2nd more of a legalized sense of right and wrong And the 3rd a more moral sense of right and wrong.

Without the willingness… All of life is about willingness. Though some things are forced, one cannot hope to achieve the same effect internally as outwardly through this means.

I aspire as much to truth as I do to my own ideals -perhaps even more so at this stage of my life. Something rare among people in this society. Though my personal biases could stand to you some improvement!

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jim-carrey-will-smith-cracked-under-pressure-oscars-slap-chris-rock-135313728.html Of course we need these people at the top to continue to strive for more because we need to instill in the people below us to continue to get up every morning and work hard and not lose heart is part the weekend. What happens to a society that as a whole becomes discouraged and disheartened by their own potential future? We got to keep encouraging people the function in this society. But not on true values but on imagined successes. When values start to fall by the wayside what else is left to motivate people? It’s not enough to motivate our children that there are people in the world who are multi millionaires or multi billionaires, no sir, people have to dream of being hundred billionaires now to get them to show any kind of motivation – And by the age of 25 which of course will change to 20 and then 15 this time goes by. It’s a Spring that’s ever tightening in this country.

People are not only largely selfish and self-centered, but lack the willingness to curb our reactions through discipline. We Americans are notorious for this. And a misguided sense of justice.

People have to be treated in a certain way otherwise are not going to be accepted. People have to perceive you within a window, based upon a varying window from individual to individual, otherwise you won’t be accepted. This has been my experience 58 years of my life.

Once again, there are people in relationships who are unhappy; and there are people not in relationships who are unhappy. Some people need not be in relationships, and some people need not be alone, 🤔 and some people simply need to be more grateful.

Do songs in a certain language written in a rhyme also rhyme when translated to another language?

To learn and to accept GOD’S ways -one must be other centered. Clearly I am not.

A child looks for 2 things continuously:

1) COMFORT;

2) ACKOWLDGEMENT

As the theory goes, a child not properly developed [along these lines] will continue to look for these things outwardly in an inappropriate manner, and/or to a disproportionate degree -Alcoholics?

Most people if you are kind to them they will be kind to you. Most people if you are not kind to them they will not be kind to you [wholly kind].

In the community I live in people pick and choose who they are friendly with. Well that’s one way of building a strong community -JOKE! That’s why certain people say they love this town and me personally, I can’t stand it.

“Those thoughts serve no useful purpose.” “Any thought can serve a useful purpose if viewed properly.”

There is no such thing as a noiseless motion. An actionless motion. An effectless motion. OR IS THERE?

How can something become the best having not been given the best or having not come from the best? How can something not become the best having been given the best or having come from the best? These are mysteries as old as time. As old as the 1st man to ever walk the Earth.

The system of capitalism we live under in this country is highly self centered. Certainly self serving.

People often want to they’re not. The plan seems to work well for them but not so much for the person therewith. Let me be all these wrong things and find someone who is right in those areas. From negative let me find somebody. If I’m something of a jerk let me find somebody kind. It’s a nice thought but the heart end the psyche don’t necessarily work that way. Nor does the universe it appears – Except perhaps in special cases. On the other hand, maybe in certain areas this is prevalent in all relationships while in others not. We report we saw in some areas and in others we are are granted a pass.

This country has become the symbol of freedom of self will on a level which only run short of barbarism. But the pier sense of self will is unparalleled. What I mean to say is that peoples self will has taken center stage over God’s will in many many many people in this country. It’s actually encouraged. People have given up on God’s principles and they’ve even given up on making relationships work on a real level with sacrifice and suffering and selflessness and acceptance.

One of the very 1st mistakes we make with regard to what’s unfolding in our world is that we choose a side. Do you think that’s GOD’S approach? Every time something happens in the world the 1st thing GOD does is a choose aside? WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Man is and has always been a very cunning individual. We seek out trivial things in this country or we hold in on other people’s misfortune and an attempt not to look at the real issues common not to look at our own issues. The state of the United States has become one of dissolutionment. I understand how we live is not the way 90% of the rest of the world. I understand that we continue to create things that we can focus on other than what’s going to solve our problems. Bring more light to the world. Who Is our father God or satan?

A lot of people have not had particularly positive experiences with other human being; and yet there nature remains for the most part benign. Not hostile, not resentful, not barbaric…; Then there are those people who carry a grudge, a chip on their shoulders, a complex, they don’t necessarily look to start trouble but at the drop of a hat they’re in the mix -fighting against any seeming injustice towards them; And then there are those who are the troublemakers seeking seeking every opportunity to make the world pay. All of my life I’m definitely not int the 1st category on this list. Does that mean i’m a bad person? I’m the one holding a grudge, AA chip karma a complex -If it gnawed at me badly enough I would actually instigate trouble. I’m trying not only desperately but at a crawl, to change that. My sponsor in alcoholics anonymous seemed to have mastered this by:

1)Letting go of the past;

2) Letting go and Letting GOD;

3) Looking for what he could contribute to life not take away from it.

4) Trusting in GOD and accepting things as HIS will.

5) FORGING – At the end of the day it’s all about GOD, it’s all about our selves, and it’s all about others. Some of us need to develop a degree of humility that allows for forgiveness in one or all of these areas. I’m one of those who has had to struggle with all 3. And yes the misguided notion that God did me wrong somewhere in my life.

I seem to be missing something in all of this; My journey seems to be compromised somewhere somewhere at its ❤. The journey to becoming a good practicing Christian. SHAKES HIS HEAD

It’s not just the things in our past we hold on to that get in the way of our moving on; but things in our present that we that we should let go of that prevent us from moving on.

The thing that seems the most consistent in this country is business! Payments, debts owed! When you owe you need to pay. Not mercy, not forgiveness, tot love, debt!

Try to accept the things that to that disturb you most as God’s will and try to be grateful. This doesn’t seem to be working out so well for me-some days are better than others.

Could it be that I’m still bothered by the loss of my family very early? Is that what’s up with this attitude?

The funny thing about the truth is that we’re all guilty of it -in one way or another. And that is why so many people spend their lives making sure it isn’t known.

Don’t worry about it Rick, be happy for the things other people have [karma ❤ TYG], they have their struggles too -and for each of us GOD gives something to alleviate some of that struggle, suffering…

People in general are willing to do far less than they are capable of. God didn’t give us the abilities he gave us so that we could filter them through our own willingness and do things half a**-especially with regard to so many people around us in need.

We see how people react when we impose ourselves on the even when we have genuine need. It’s best to look for what you can contribute under all conditions. That’s the safest way with human. The less you can demand of other people the easier your way through life will go and the less you’ll be disappointed. The other side of that point is not judging people and I think the middle or 3rd side of this coin is that when we look more for what we can do or provide or bring to a situation we’re going to be less apt to be disappointed or let down and thus judge.

You know the next time you see a person who looks to have it all remember, you don’t garner a lot of points in Heaven for a life of contentedness and satisfaction.

In most cases you can tell loose at the top of the totem Pole or pyramid of power? For most people what’s the point of being at the top of the total Pole if by choice you’re going to lower yourself through humility and become a servant? However refreshing that would be for all of us..

We should carry a basic warmth towards humanity in every endeavor we employee. In business in this country that has been lost.

How can doctors who have such a high level of education and work in such a precision field such a precision field give such extreme treatment to a patient differing from one position to another? Like in essence leaving another fellow Peter with their jaw dropped wondering why they did such a thing? How can I exist?
