Living clean is the hardest thing for man to do; yet it makes the most sense!

It doesn’t bother me [so] much to admit when I’m wrong in most cases anymore – Some people it absolutely kills!

It’s hard to be completely rid of that hard-edge you adopted as a child.

Think about it, if there are impact 2 opposing forces influencing us. What might those forces represent? What might their tactics be? You gotta figure if they’re opposing forces or tactics too would be at opposite ends of the spectrum [atleast in certain regards -what does that mean?].

Yep, it’s just like I said 28 years ago, they’re going to start raising prices depending on the size of the clothing. Look at levi shirts on Amazon. $35.77 for extra small. Click on any other size $41.XX-$48.XX. Dumb!!!! And then on web it shows 35.77. Misleading. 95% of men DO NOT wear XS. I SEEN THIS BEFORE -man, 😭 the great manipulator -JUST LIKE HIS FATHER!

Most men aren’t attracted to men -that’s a given. But after a few failed relationships with women, they start not like women so much. What’s a man to do? You see the same thing with women in this time. Lifelong heterosexual women with children walking around in their later years with a woman -and their arm around each other. That’s another thing I mentioned 25 or more years ago. Once you open up that door to homosexuality being acceptable… More and more people are going to start using it for various reasons. HOW STUPID ARE WE? It makes me so angry!

You don’t have the motivation to plus all of your teeth at least plus the top 8 and bottom 8. Use hydrogen peroxide once A-day but consult your physician 1st. Use lysol once A-day in your shoes before slipping into them. All of these things you will be grateful for later in life and your partner will be grateful for now lol

A lot of things that lose their flavor have a similar taste-I wonder what that means?

Your attitude towards people no matter how justified will affect your relationships. Most people don’t care why you have the attitude or the aura of energy that you carry. In fact they’re not gonna take the time to ask you. They just pick up on things and then go from there. Women particularly-but not by much. Higher forms of life don’t operate this way-lower forms do!

I believe fear & want are man’s greatest hindrances.

You can get sued even for telling the truth-imagine that!

Conserve energy! THAT’S ONE THING WE HUMANS ARE FAIRLY RECKLESS WITH -ESPECIALLY IN OUR CHILDHOOD. If you had any idea what a difference in our lives this would make WHEN THAT ENERGY WE’VE MANAGED TO CONSERVE PREVIOUSLY IS AVAILABE WHEN THE APPRROPRIATE CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE. I THINK: GOD… gives us just the right amount of energy 1)throughout our lives, and; 2)for any given situation that [HEi is already aware of in advance] will arise [and also the energy of combined effort of humanity -but we MUST be willing to join together in the numbers the situation requires/demands -even if [on a rare occassion] a sufficient number are wiling [and able], a miscalculation is a constant possibility. BUT, perhaps the other main concern in all of this as previously stated is the recklessness with which we utilize this “LIFE-ENERGY or LIFE-FORCE”. This os only compounded when a joint effort compromised of numerous individuals who have too squandered frivolous,ly (ust) prior too… when and where those energies are most needed. THINK ABOUT IT! 🤔

We only have so much energy allotted to us [bar supernatural intervention] -also, when we exceed the in-the-moment-threshold, we can also expire.

Dealing with the world!

Stop acting the fool!

Previous experience doesn’t justify BREAKING THE LAW!

Sensitive people are more apt to be your friend one day and you’re enemy the next. They also make very good friends -sometimes the best of friends!

On SSI it’s ok to get into as much debt… but not respurces…

In this country, the skies the limit in making money (and all it can buy) but in (certain) other regards, we’re no different than a communist country..

One of the solutions to this world’s problems is TO MATCH CALAMITY WITH SERENITY rather that serenity with calamity, or calamity with calamity!

The smaller we are, the less likely we’re going to get hit by something! HUMILITY!

Not everything everyone brings to the table is so obvious; nor necessarily of any less importance!

How can either of you expect to be happy in a relationship when at least one of you has no idea what they’re doing? There’s the general stuff, and then there’s learning your partner.

Ladies, what have your best efforts garnered you with regard to trying to pick a man you can trust and who won’t hurt you? What has all that ever gotten you question say no to this man over here and you say yes to this man over here -and you still end up with exactly what you didn’t want. Maybe the solution isn’t adding more safeguards like we all seem to be doing in this country. Maybe it’s just changing our criteria. Lowering our standards which eventually turn out to be higher ones?

I could be skinny as a twig standing next to Mr. Olympia and still not feel inferior. At least that should be the case. A lot of people don’t have much more going for them than the superficial. They would have more if they would focus on developing it-but they don’t. What they focus on developing is the superficial.

Can a person care so much for another person that they’d die? Die because the person died? Died because the person is no longer a part of their life? Die because they hurt that other person so bad?

Just because we can’t think of one good reason why GOD allows the things HE does -doesn’t mean there isn’t one!

Are you aware that at any given moment on this planet an animal is being tortured? Not neglected or abused, TORTURED!

We should feel something for everyone!

Women come to expect a certain amount of b******* from a man. When some of them encounter a was not as such, and “the rush” just isn’t there for them… the little light doesn’t come on… This is the way a lot of women operate. Whether they know or not. That’s why they end up with the same kind of person… 🤷‍♀️

People don’t want men relying on them.

Something happens to us when we tell the truth! Something happens to us when we tell a lie! The universe too is affected. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Some people are able to produce the same set of experiences, leading [them] to…turn the corner one more time! TURN ANOTHER CORNER?

The earlier it is in a relationship the easier it is to put someone off. Does the same hold true for the easier it is to put someone on?

One of the undeniable features of giving you all is rapid progress or improvement. Just look at a body builder who is dedicated 110% versus one who is 40%. Look at the 2 of them after 6 months.

What’s happening on the outside isn’t necessarily what’s happening on the inside. Just because it doesn’t look like anything’s changing on the outside doesn’t mean anything’s not changing on the inside.

But one of the reasons GOD give us The Bible is because man can’t get honest with himself alone. H*** he even tries to turn The Bible into some man-made nonsense intended to control the masses. He not only can’t get honest with himself -he quite often turns truths into lies! 🤷‍♂️

You know what the problem is in this country? Keep people paying the prices the government and corporate America impose on them. You’re not going to suffer doing without a TV or a new phone. But the people selling them will if you refuse to buy them. It’s a simple matter of -they need us; we really don’t need them. You think this is naive of me? You telling me that if we stand up against all this tyranny and exploitation that the whole system is gonna fall apart? You telling me we need to submit ourselves to tyranny and being exploited in order to keep the whole thing from falling apart? Well if that’s the case let the f****** thing fall apart. This isn’t ANARCHY either, it’s a wake up call. Let’s put a stop to all of the access and get back down to basics. Let’s start helping each other instead of exploiting each other.

How many of us can live in extreme poverty and remain honest? There are people at the other end of the spectrum who cannot even accomplish this feat of being honest.

When people do not experience any recognition or positive positive feedback from those around them they were often speak or boast of their own accomplishments for choices. But is it boasting? Look up the definition of a need in the dictionary. You know it’s a real miracle that the body has numerous needs and for example the diet some of us human beings partake of… and how the body can keep going for 20, 30, 40, 50 years.

Ever been around an Alcoholic whose Alcoholism is in full swing? I’m referring to the selfishness, self-centeredness, overly-sensitive, overly-thoughtful, overly-verbose type whose presence is the center of attention everywhere they go!

GOD IS THE BEST FRIEND I’VE EVER HAD -SOMETIMES 🤔 THE ONLY FRIEND I’VE EVER HAD!

*****What’s your part? You keep holding on to ot!

It’s different for each of us: What we aspire to be [how far to go spiritually]; and how much work is required to get there. Most of us in this country generally walk around a couple-quarts low at any given time! THAT’S ME!

*****When I find myself [once again] in PAIN due to poor choices, MY OLD WAY OF DEALING WITH “IT” COMES OUT! FEAR & PAIN! It’s best to make choices that don’t trample on our peace and contentment!

When we don’t have gratitude for the things we already have, it becomes a cycle of looking for the next rushing on to something new -THE NEXT…. it can get very expensive and 🤔 WE NEVER QUITE GET WHERE WE’RE TRYING TO GET WITHOUT IT!

It would be only a 1/2 truth to say that we must strive to trust in God and be grateful for all he has done for us without adding to it a personal note Typhon that all of my life I have struggled not only to trust in God but to make the effort to trust in God, as well as to be constantly mindful and able to be grateful to God for all he has done for me. I believe I struggle with the ability to be grateful not just the willingness.

In the beginning I believe I was unable to trust in God and now I believe I am unwilling. In the beginning I believe I was unable to trust in God as well as. Now I believe I am able to trust in God but still struggle with unwillingness.

People who are not lonely or empty are not looking at their phones every 2 minutes. It’s a sign of what our society has become. And the reasons for it are quite obvious.

A lot of people don’t understand what you’re saying, where you’re coming from. Believe it or not a lot of people are very very limited. Surely hold down jobs that have a relationship to have kids blah blah but they have a very narrow scope of understanding of life, the universe, the broad variety of human experiences, thinking…

What are the tell tale signs of a society or Nation that is disconnected from one another? What are the tell tale signs of a society or nation that is connected and invested in 1 another?

Most Alcoholics don’t care much for people who outshine them. Come to think of it 🤔 People in general don’t. Ever heard of the story of the brilliant calm a talented person who kept it a secret all their lives for this very reason?

Most people don’t wanna be burdened with your problems. Part of it is they’re tired. Part of it is there busy. Part of it is there’s better things to do in their mind. Part of it is there’s funner things to do. And just plain selfish!

See GOD in all things!

People are making it harder for each other not easier. What do you suppose the consequences of that are on the human mind and soul?

Anytime you see a shift, there is apt to be emotions, conflicts…. A man walks into a room, established unions or not, many women start to chatter “how handsome he is”, other women hearing this have negative reactions, even negative feelings towards the man simply got this reason alone. Then of course there is the women in the group who are all chatting about how handsome he is, they are either wondering if they will have their chance or they begin to try and compete with one another, not all of them believe in fair play. And when one gets him the rest of them feel snubbed. They’re false egos deflated… Just about all human beings have some problems. Where pleasure and beauty are involved… Where opportunity presents itself… The kind people are interested in that is… Opportunities that don’t interest people seldom raise any sort of emotion either way. Unless of course we pick up on the fact that somebody else it’s benefiting from something we never even gave consideration to -then the game is on!

With many women their love is proportional to the usefulness of the man -see, what I tell you, people have all kinds of different world’s they operate from. And for some men this is actually perfectly normal as well. I don’t want a woman loving me because I’m useful.

S.O.a B. We pay taxes out of what we are. We pay taxes out of what we sell. You pay taxes out of what we buy. JEEEEESUS!!!!!! And what does that little voice say? “If you want to be the number one country in the world -you gotta pay for it!” Really???

Before you go judging one person for their attitude, remember that it was likely people who [helped] put it there to begin with. Some people don’t need any [more] help lol

The sooner you recognize your dealing with an irrational person, and selfishness and self centeredness are irrational as well, the better off you and that other person are going to be!

Ever try talking rationally to a new rational person? You can’t talk to fools.

Nowadays everyone has their own God. Hope that’s not a spin off from the 2nd step of Alcoholics Anonymous. What kind of a God of love and unity would have disunity in man’s choice of god’s? Oh that’s your God not my God. Yeah well that sounds very godly indeed. It’s man who for numerous reasons doesn’t care to share the ideals of many of his fellow men because he can’t stand them. Because he can’t stand himself.

*****Sometimes I act as if I have only a couple of years sober. Other people act the same way, problem is they only have a couple of years sober. I have the ability or the option to choose to act as if I have many years sober in the program because I do in fact have many years sober in the program. For some odd reason -at times I choose not to act that way though. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I’ve seen a year in and year out for 33 years. The person I am when my spiritual condition is high and the person I am when my spiritual condition is low. My experience within myself when my spiritual condition is high and my experience within myself when my spiritual condition is low. NIGHT & DAY! There really is something to this spiritual business.

*****If Alcoholics Anonymous is referring to this being a spiritual program then clearly they are alluding to some fact regarding we human beings having a spirit. A lot of people don’t even believe we have spirits [in and out of AA] -that’s partly my point.

Just because you say you’re ensure you think you are ensure does it mean you are. It’s because you say you are sure doesn’t mean you are, it just means you think you are. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

We alcoholics are crazy but we tend to like people who are level headed and not crazy. I guess I should say we alcoholics are odd but we tend to like people who are not odd. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it -the old double standard 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Not everyone gets my sense of humor -but the ones that do…

With regard to cancer we take the test and find out we didn’t need it and then when we don’t take the test we find out we need it. We find out we have cancer after it’s too late. It’s hidden miss and we trade lives for money.

A real miracle. Because Anna needed a kidney transplant her husband underwent the protocol to see if he was compatible. During that period they found a pollop in his column which otherwise probably would have never gotten detected until it was too late from what I know of her husband who doesn’t really go to doctors.

I wish I had somebody who did things for me and didn’t expect anything in return.

These people from the treatment center were sitting outside in the parking lot in their vans with the motors running-don’t they know that these emissions are killing our atmosphere? Somebody please explain to me why we’re not doing anything about the atmosphere and emissions? If you’re not doing the right thing and you know not doing it anymore isn’t gonna make a difference does that mean you should keep doing it? Even if it was too late to save the atmosphere, the fact that it’s wrong pumping garbage into the atmosphere should be put to an end. But man refuses to have his way of limposed upon. Sick

Look at these pictures of these young people on these advertisements -no smile no charisma no nothing. Jeeez

When I was earlier in my dating years, it wasn’t enough to give and to do for a woman, you had to meet their demands and their expectations.

They have one thing come where the envy comes in, is you fail to recognize what you have that they don’t. It’s almost always the case.

A lot of people lack empathy because they don’t have the character or the background experience. For example a lot of people don’t know what it’s like to be alone and unwanted? There are surely these types of people just desire all the other. What I mean to say is that you can rest assured there are at least as many people on this planet who are wanted andWhat I mean to say is that you can rest assured there are at least as many people on this planet who are wanted and tended to as there are those who are either neglected or abandoned. There’s a certain kind of personality. They seem to know little of anything except what goes on day-to-day in their little world. And the purpose of people like that? At the very least they offer a profound comparison or perspective. It’s a cold empty place to be their. And the saddest thing about it is that we human beings have the ability to not even know we’re there!

It’s interesting to watch man try and hold GOD to his standards lol And with his motives lol And with his history lol MAN!!!!!

Wouldn’t it be great if we all stopped using our cell phones and all that information that is being stored in UTAH suddenly ceased? A world where we are constantly being monitored brought to a halt -and the old way of life reinstated!

Instead of corporate America competing for our business -now it’s consumers competing against each other for what corporate America is peddling. Just go on eBay and look at how hard it is to get a great deal anymore on certain items. People are paying way too much for these things. That’s a bad sign.

If you can trust in God and love him with all your might and heart calm that you have the 2 greatest gifts a person could be afforded. I don’t have those 2 gifts unfortunately.

When an 80 year old man makes a joke about a woman or about being single, everybody laughs. When a 40 year old man does hes an a******!

Some people are denied credit while others are granted it based solely on their qualifications. We don’t take into account seldom way a person’s state of mind. Frankly calm there are people out there in debt we are not of a sound frame of mind to do so. But because they were granted the credit do solely on their past history and their income to debt ratio… The financial institutions are scared to death of risk, well isn’t this a risk this not looking up for our fellow human being as well? Oh I forgot, America is slowly fading away in terms of its story history of looking out for one another. You cannot increasingly exploit Americans, when they are busy looking out for one another

People don’t seem to take too much stock of who they are or what they’re being subject to and how it is affecting them. This should be the 1st things that we make a priority among a couple of other things only.

If a man is capable of hating a man he has never met, imagine the man he has!

I heard a man once comment “Look at how he dresses coming to Church -NO RESPECT”. Well I think we all had better make sure our own souls are in order before we Starr worrying about how others come dressed to the LORD’S HOUSE!

This is not a country for the remaining 23 hours of the day whether it be having just attended Church, or an AA Meeting, those values instilled in us in those rooms, are enhanced and encouraged by the presence of things outside of those rooms. And I ask resoundingly –WHY NOT????? We sit in these places for an hour, maybe we gain some spiritual ground, then we ho out into the world -AND LOSE IT!!!!!

Let’s start with what we do know -that which is irrefutable.

When anyone makes their very survival and safety, or that of their loved one’s MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE -THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST TO satan!

If you have been blessed with the gifts of being able to LOVE GOD and TRUST IN GOD with all your might -you have perhaps two of the most valuable gifts one can be granted!

110% -but progress even then will vary from endeavor-toendeavor even at this level!

How close does the eulogy come to the person,

GRATITUDE, TRUST, & LOVE FOR GOD!!!!

it’s easy to be[come] ungrateful for everything else when the thing most important to you [not in life necessarily] continues to elude us!

Is it a big deal to GOD? Or is it just a part of HIS plan?

Think about it? Human beings who love to fight. 99.99% of people do not like to fight. Think about that again. What is that say about humanity? And what might be more Falling into this rarified %? And what about 00.01%?

That’s one of man’s biggest problems, he picks what he shouldn’t and he doesn’t pick what he should.

Be gentle in your ❤ 💙 💜 towards people 🙏🏻 I know it can be hard

It’s no secret that among our kind, pretty women get swept up by successful men all the time. But that’s not much of a foundation for a relationship is it? That’s the way we human beings operate -find somebody who is pretty or somebody who is successful, and then sort out the rest later!

Man does as he chooses.

You talk to someone via the phone and theyre’s just something about them that captures your heart. The anticipation to meet them builds -you see them and your feelings just receed, because they are unattractive physically. Shakes his head. Hey I’m not judging, I know the scenario all too often -personally. But it’s a shame how much importance we place on the physical in this country.

“Just keep going Rick until GOD says otherwise. Don’t worry don’t contemplate…”

The fact that people based on research are more apt to be attracted to or pay attention to pretty people is one indication that these people: Are simply going by their natural inclinations. THEY HAVE NOT CONSCIOUSLY SOUGHT TO EVOLVE BEYOND THAT LEVEL. So there are a bunch of people running around in this country in which this applies. People really do not make the effort in certain [key] aspects at all really. We’re supposedly the most powerful country in the world calm and we’re supposedly one of the richest countries in the world, why don’t we need to work on anything right? WRONG!!!!!!

Some people have to work harder than others to make people feel comfortable around them.

I’ve never really had a problem with being nice to people – Although I’m sure when I was younger my motives were far more self serving. But my biggest problem has always been a lack of reciprocation.

I don’t mind being good to the women in my life but sometimes you run into one that feels like you owe it to her.

A lot of women in this country and in the world are the way they are because of the competition among/between men [for them]*. Like when companies used to compete fiercely for the business of America*. They make you feel special. But it’s up to the typical American and the typical female to apply some character -under these circumstances. And many other circumstances one faces!

*It’s up to the individual not to take advantage of the situation -or let it go to their head.

I want to be sure and make a note of this even though I may have mentioned it previously: I’m in the top 3% and IQ with a 129 approximately; And in the top 3% in blood type. Figure that 1 out. I think that 2 very important factors regarding human-beings are their IQ’s and their blood type. I think the correlation between the 2 has a deeper meaning than any of us can probably understand or have come to recognize as of yet.

When a person gets real with you it’s up to you to rise to the occasion.

Some people are slow some people are fast -I happen to be both 🤷‍♂️

*****Some people enjoy AA some people don’t enjoy AA. Look at this way, if it’s medicine… How many people enjoy medicine? They take it because it [EVENTUALLY] makes them feel better and because it cures their ills [but some Alcoholics, grandiose in nature, DON’T JUST WANT TO FEEL BETTER…]*. Feelings are not the 1st priority in recovery. In fact, it’s not really how one should look at it at all. We do what we’re supposed to do and we accept what we get in return as GOD’S will with gratitude [not the pedal-to-the-metal]. And that’s the way it works 🤷‍♂️ Even if you don’t like coming to Alcoholics Anonymous, ask yourself this “Is it so bad that you’re willing to throw away your life?” A few hours a week at most, to save your own life, maybe even save your 👪 maybe even save someone else’s life some day. [Alcoholics main issues: giving up control of; how much; how fast! Alcoholics want all their problems to go away yesterday -Being example to others or character building be d*****. The way alcoholism works is you feel better in the moment and pay for it later. The way recovery works is you don’t necessarily feel better in the moment but you reap the benefits later. CHOOSE – Do you want to feel better or do you want to get better? In recovery we eventually get to experience both. But it takes time and giving over control to GOD!

*They want that rush!

*****In recovery we get stronger and saner. We get stronger and due to our better decision making our problems begin to dissipate, dwindle. The problems we already have begin to get resolved as well. In our addiction we grow weaker and more insane. We get weaker and due to our poorer decision making our problems begin to grow, add up! The problems will already have only worse in as well.

*****Dale didn’t get wrapped up in other people s***. I still struggle with this a bit. The majority of Alcoholics do. Drunk or sober.

I don’t have a leash, or line to keep me in the yard -my own yard…

Just once in my life I’d like to hear somebody in this town say: “You’re right. I did…” “You’re right, I was wrong…” just once!

Character is acting against type!

☆☆☆☆☆LOVE GOD! TRUST GOD! BE GRATEFUL TO GOD! AND IMITATE GOD WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT -AND YOU WILL HAVE ACHIEVED PERFECTION! Probably the most important thing you will ever hear come out of my mouth or write down on a piece of paper.

Some days sober are good; some days sober are not so good -but we don’t let this detour us from not taking that 1st drink.

If you’re rich [successful] and you’re snooty and you’re not gonna share your money with me then what good are you to me? You’re worth more to me if you’re poor and you’re friendly. 🤷‍♂️

*****The things a lot of people in Alcoholics Anonymous get drunk over are the same things a lot of people in Alcoholics Anonymous stay sober through. If you’re fed up enough of it to get drunk over it, imagine what the people who don’t get drunk over it feel like?

If only a small percentage of people can act, and an animal can act, and a child can act… What does it say about the rest of us?

And furthermore, people have to go to acting school to learn how to act… Human?

What’s the difference between needing and taking advantage of?

If you can just imagine all the scenarios or worlds man has created for himself and his fellow man over the Millennia

“Okay, now that’s my accountability, what’s theirs, yours…?”

I’ve seen some people get away with some stuff, get through some stuff, reign victorious over some situations completely unexplainable. GOD? PRECISION KNOW-HOW?

Now that Corporate America and the US government have turned the tables on the American people, when are men going to turn the tables on women in terms of sexual power? it’s very interesting, just last night or this morning I envisioned a cartoon with a very very lavish American woman with a chain and Leash [collared] on a man sitting next to her.

Some of the best guitarist in the world have only been playing for 10 years or less, I’ve been riding for 32 years -more-or-less!

You know what’s worth more than gold? Knowledge! And these writings contain a gold mine worth!

You know why there was only one Michael Jordan? Nobody ever loved the game or loved the spirit of competition or try harder more consistently than Michael Jordan. The same could be said of Rafael Nadal.How else could you explain a man who missed more tournaments than his 2 greatest rivals, and still managed to come out ahead of both of them -One of which had a 5 year jump on him? Most people cannot or will not sustain a 110% effort pretty lengthy period of time. To do so would veer into the realm of the superhuman -there are however, a few of those around! Firemen! I think I give my all in my writing and when I speak in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. I think I have been doing so consistently for a very long time!

You know who one of my heroes is? Lassie! Going all the way back to childhood! I’ve been revisiting this through her [his] movies recently!

One of the things about we alcoholics is we talk too much and; we pick @t things too much!

I never got better by taking someone elses inventory. I never learned anything listening to myself. I never knew of a bird falling off of a limb who froze to death feeling sorry for itself. Very old sayings.

There’s a difference between being angry because you are wrong than being angry because because of your high falluting, egoitistical expectations.

You may not agree with this but try and appreciate the rhyme in my reasoning anyways: People are pretty much the same when things go their way, but where they diverge is when things don’t go their way.

We want to bring out the best and people not the worst.

It’s always the same thing over and over. A man tries to start up something good and innocent, and then more and more people hear about it and want to suck the life out of it-and then the way it ends up is not the way it started. 2 examples: It gets over a ran by the American consumer because everybody wants a piece of the pie; It gets ran over by the corporate types because everyone wants a piece of the pie. EBay is one such example. The corporate type being the government stepping in charging tax once again. The corporate type being companies trying to come in and peddle their goods with little or no willingness to budge on their prices. I had one idiot tell me eBay’s not a swap me. Yeah well it was until you corporate-preppie-types came along and tried to turn it into something else. Another certain company comes along and buys out another company, races or prices as usual to try and rush getting their investment back, and then doing away with layerways and veterans discounts. Who might that certain company in El Paso be 🤔 And my 1st question as a consumer is how does any of this help me? Me the consumer that bought your products for many years which allowed you to buy this other company in the 1st place idiot.

Companies just starting out bend over backwards to get the American public’s business, as they become bigger they start taking away everything they were offerinthus which allowed them to grow to begin with. The American way!!!! No, if they can survive and thrive by giving perks to the American public when they’re small; then they can survive by giving perks to the American public when they are big! It’s greed that changes everything; and the want and need for excess, for power! Most people have no idea how big a role ego plays an American living. People don’t go around advertising it were brightening about it. In many instances people would even deny that it’s their ego in play. That’s right -a bunch of people running around not even having any idea but where they’re operating from. Isn’t that sad? People who don’t even understand themselves! That should be one of the 1st lines of business as a human being -to understand where you’re coming from and where you’re at. JEEEEES!!!! I guess that’s what happens when you’re not so interested in where you’re at or where you’re coming from, only where you’re going! And there seems to be a lot of that going on these days.

At some point in history Christians outnumbered the majority of others. When they were in small numbers they were persecuted. In order for them to be persecuted once again in the future, their numbers will likely have to be reduced once again. That means our world will have to go from being filled with believers in Christ and in The Bible to non-believers. Which is exactly what we see going on in this country and perhaps even around the world because of United States has for some time had a profound impact on the rest of the world.

Some people only give a d*** about how far you’ve gone -not how far you’ve come!

… Or are people fairly consistent when things go their way and when things don’t go their way? Respectively I mean.

I get angry because certain people act like they don’t like. I get angry because certain people do. This is what you call an unwinnable or an untenable situation. What do you suppose all that’s about? God puts people in our life, The people he knows are best for us or the people he knows are most in need. But what we want are the people who make us feel the best. Secondary are those who Impact us where we needed most. Or people who need us most rather than people we want most. Get it? In an increasingly affluent society, man tends to gear more towards what he wants rather than what he needs or what others need!

You take away the factor in this country regarding increasing numbers of people want to become increasingly rich, and see how that affects inflation! He might be surprised to find… Think about it-increasing numbers of people wanting to become increasingly rich. You think rich is a stagnant, set-in-stone thing? Yesterday being a millionaire was a wonderful thing. Now it’s getting to the level of billion there that’s a wonderful thing. And now I understand it’s getting to the level of trillionaire that’s the thing -that’s choking this country! There’s always a childish mentality, if not a warped one, involved in this sort of thing. Children have no limits -not adults. That’s why many of them can be so d*** annoying. They will continually test you, even prod you.

Are we slaves to time or masters of it? Perhaps we cannot do any thing about living within the boundaries of it, But that doesn’t mean we can’t use it to our own advantage -which many people DO NOT! There are slaves to time. Beasts of burden so-to-speak! They slave away watching time tick by slowly… They work for time time doesn’t work for them. Again, they are slaves to time rather than the masters of it! Whiling away the hours that might have counted for something more! Wonder how many of us fall into this category throughout our own lives? Bill Wilson talks about how we bust our asses with the only goal in mind being that of retiring to the Florida-sunshine!

When I act in such a way as to assume something about the world wrongly so, I pay a price. When I act in such a way, That the world assumes… And I end up not getting what I want or need because of it, I have to rethink how I do things. The world is always right even when it’s wrong because we have to live and survive in it. Is dumb! My counselor is telling me how the world is looking at my actions, not my intentions, and how I have to rethink things. Why do I have to be the one who has to rethink things? I think I already answered that question.

The mood in this country has changed drastically in recent years. We don’t have workers or people who serve us so much as people who have determined that they are on equal footing -Job or no job. People forget they work for someone and are being employed by someone. They decide they’re going to treat the customer the way the customer treats them. In some cases not even applying that rule-of-thumb.

People don’t really want to be there for each other any more. And when you try to get them to, they either resist or get annoyed! This has to change!

When we are around certain people come we have to take into consideration certain things to make them feequal and not less than us. Believe it or not, some people can just walk into a room, and make other people feel less than they are 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know if other people are this way but it’s how I am. Certain people I seem to want the attention of and certain people I do not. I don’t know if it’s a matter of respect or desire or rejection… But some people don’t seem to have this feature and it’s an admirable quality in my mind. I think it’s best to let GOD decide who needs our attention [who we should give our attentions to] and whose attention we should receive. Most of us are guilty to some degree of not treating everyone equally. I don’t think the world would improve [approve] entirely anyways.

Sometimes I really get aggravated with the way GOD seems to want things –HIS ways are not my ways! HE always does things with depth and with purpose -I on the other hand… They is to say “Purpose versus agenda”. I wouldn’t necessarily say GOD interferes with my agenda, but when we presumably choose a life which mimicking HIS own… 🤷‍♂️ Agendas tend to [must] fall to the wayside!

Personally, I don’t think people who get things easily, have as much to offer as people who struggle. Nor do they have as much in common with most people. As a consequence, they don’t have as much character either.

I think there are just certain things about people that people don’t care. Some things those people need to adjust. Both people I’m referring to. The way some people are they need to adjust. The way some people feel about other people they need to adjust. These things seem like rocket science to most of us. As a result we will all [most of us] spend our lives stuck not only with others, but with ourselves. It seems very difficult to change who we are and near impossible to change others. But it can all happen with GOD’S help.

If you’re afraid of speaking up due to fear of reprisals, use a dead person’s “lol I had to look up reprisals afterwards just to be sure. It’s amazing how many things I get right when I’m not evenwhere did I come from? Where did I learn the word reprisals from? It’s certainly not a word I’ve used in many years -or even heard. 🤔🤷‍♂️

There is a flip side to remaining emotionally distant or neutral with people. I always thought it rather cold but I can now begin to see the upside to it. If in fact cold is the accurate term to be using in the 1st place. People manage to keep a level head when they don’t get too involved.

I notice some people are very passionate comment anyone we know lol.. But when we take it past a certain point it becomes counter productive, even harmful or hurtful.

*****Neal-this program can hurt you but it will never harm you!

COVID- If people won’t change then we should change them are officially. I’m sure that’s the way some people feel. They may even feel justified. Amazing the things man feels justified in doing. All you have to do is look at the way God does things and if you’re not doing them that way you’re not justified. But you have to keep in contact with and constantly reminded of what God’s ways are and what God’s ways are not in order to accomplish this. God does not change people artificially. We either change or we suffer the consequences as do the people around us. We suffered physically and emotionally but we do not suffer the ultimate consequences->that if intentionally going against GOD’S LAWS! But man tends to do things to serve hisone ends where is GOD does not. But God is sharp enough that he knows his ends would be our end. With man -his ends aren’t always his fellow man’s ends.

You don’t have to be resentful of people who do it all wrong, who’ve got it all wrong…. They’re already suffering.

People who require other people to acknowledge them are like people going to a dry well looking for water. And the ones that stop going a long time ago, the ones that have no faith whatsoever and humanity… They spend their lives walking around feeling like a dry well.

Some people are Nancy to buy and some people are Nancy to sell-the one who gives in 1st is the 1 that either gets the best deal or the best price/profit. So which one will it be -the buyer or the seller?

Honey not only attracts more bees than invinegar, it’s also a great manipulator when used in that fashion. It’s up to the individual to decide how to use that honey.

GOD is prompting me to say that our government in the United States does a lot of good work for its people and is filled with many many good people who make it up. There are however those misguided people, and there are also those people who are flat out interested in their own agendas and no one else’s welfare.

There’s just something about a person who laughs at their own jokes 😆

*****It doesn’t matter who a person is directing their snive comments at in the meeting, those kind of comments have no place in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous!

I have too much data coming through and it affects me emotionally. If all the data pouring in was positive -I would be MARY Poppins.

I’m not trying to pick on people, I’m trying to raise them up. Not an easy task for someone who is down themselves. I do get aggravated with people who try to harm or take advantage of others though I do get aggravated with people who are being paid to perform a service that’s supposed to benefit the people they serve not screw them over.

A person who is completely defeated in their self esteem cannot raise anyone up in the slightest. It will only seek to tear others down or simply have nothing too offer that is of any value. I’m not talking about ego-deflation here. Ego-deflation is different and a positive thing if the individual[s]….

FtSome people are good at not being bothered by what other people think or say about them. But most of us are not!

I don’t trust people today, but it’s not that overblown mistrust from my childhood trauma so much, it’s mistrust based on the fact that a lot of people out in the world cannot and should not be trusted, they’re not trustworthy.

Someday I’m hoping I will not have to tell somebody no when asking me for a ride because I don’t have the gas [Or in other people’s cases -the time].

For someone with my background to be able to come to a place in life that is DRAMA-FREE -> 10 X MIRACLES!

The reason more people seem to dislike you is you are reaching the next level of enlightenment. Man, some more than others, are wicked -they recoil from goodness! And satan himself.🤷‍♂️

Don’t let your actions and your presence be underwhelmed by what comes out of your mouth. But I’m trying to say as if your mouth is taking center stage -don’t let it. The mouth does more damage and gives people a false impression of who we truly are than thing else! A lot of times people speak of things they don’t know about. Though just as it is not an accurate portrayal of something outside of ourselves, oftentimes it’s not an accurate portrayal of what’s inside ourselves.

How many women would go out with a well known celebrity who is highly attractive and personable? How many women would be attracted to that person and perhaps commit adultery if only in their own mind? How is that different from a man who sees an attractive woman at a bar or a grocery store and has the same reaction? Just because most women may not do that, they are certainly not going to admit to it if they do. I think some women may be a little more picky but if you stack the scales far enough, they will act just like most men.

No matter how cruel or indifferent GOD may appear, HE always has a good plan in mind. Often times not so with man.

What do you think the number one ant number 2 reason for why people use drugs and drink and have so much trouble with their attitude towards 1 another?

How many judges and lawyers and policemen and politicians can abide by the very laws they either appalled or write into law? A man’s 6 month old baby is burned to death and you really expect for them to stand by and do nothing when Justice has failed him and his child?A little absurd don’t you think? Especially to ask for 100% adherence to this outcome?

Some people do things with ease such ease. Some people do things. Some people do things that should be impossible to them -given extenuating circumstances, ->background history, state or condition… They are the true miracles indeed!

If people don’t like it maybe they need to change! If you as an adult struggling with alcoholism think it’s a living h***, imagine what it’s like for your children having to endure you! And doing it sober with no chemicals in their bodies! Reality right there in their face!

If you say I’m no better than you are or you say we’re no different and I start going down a list of my own flaws, are you going to still agree? And if not, then who’s to say I’m not better than you then?

Always your emotional state is preceded by what goes through your mind ->whether it’s a memory, conscious thought, experience in real time… If you are looking for a particular emotional experience, or state, you have to regulate thought, perception…

If you look at adults raised in a stable, consistent, moral valued environment, with sufficient healthy social interaction and modeling,, they tend to grow up functioning fairly high in multiple areas.

Man seems to be most comfortable with his base instincts -though he often has little tolerance for his fellow man’s!

Treat others the way you want to be treated. But do we have a right to expect others to treat us the way we treat them?

I told Dale one time you have to protect your mind.

When a person is far too sensitive in a relationship, it tends to develop problems that other people normally would not experience or be affected by. This can also happen at the social level. The town I live in has a lot of ultra sensitive, ultra angry people. This is a good combination for violence and conflict. Of course there is in this community as you would expect.

Where your mind is? Where life takes it?

Good things rarely come from poor decision making.

Just because something is wrong doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. That was the wonderful thing about Jesus on the Earth, whenever something was wrong you knew it wasn’t him. Encountered problem after problem after problem during his time down here on Earth. Which translated means means that he encountered problem after problem after problem with the people surrounding him. And so we will too. That’s even if we were perfect which were not.

If a person cannot discern whether they’ve done a good job or a poor one… PPFFFF 🤷‍♂️

I think I stand a better chance of connecting with GOD than with people.

Things that are not ordinarily a big deal are often a big deal to people who have issues. People who have issues tend to do the wrong things at the wrong time. How else would you define an issue? The inability to do the right thing at the right time? The inability to be able to do the right thing or the inability to do the right thing at the right time.

How stupid is it, us trying to reason God’s actions by holding him to our own limited and/or twisted waze? Our own dirty filthy ways? How many people lose faith in Jesus for the simple notion that he married Mary Magdalene and had children? Why would that make him any less perfect?It’s heavenly father had Mary as a spouse! Why couldn’t Jesus take one? I’m not saying he would do this or that he even did it. What I’m saying is if he chose to do it who are we to try and apply our simpleton, feel threatened believe send principles upon perfection? People are freaking stupid man.

Or this idea of Jesus kissing his apostles on the lips. If it ever did happen, isn’t it possible for you to reason that Jesus did it out of spiritual love not sexual love? Jesus Christ man-how stupid are we?

Which would you feel more comfortable with a lying cheating skeezing 15 year old boy with your 15 year old daughter or 30 year old responsible caring honest man with your 15 year old daughter? The answer to that question is that by law you would have to choose the 15 year old youngboy -whether you like it or not -that’s the law! 🤷‍♂️

Who made all these laws? I don’t remember being asked! And what about the laws that came before us? Do we really have the right and the full power to change any one of them we wish? No matter how unreasonable it may be? What’s really driving the structure of this country? Is it really the American people or is that just an illusion?If 10000 people tried to storm the US government they would naturally retaliate. But what if 51% of the American people decided to so? After all we are a democracy right? 51% gets the vote! It’s an interesting question comment of whether or not the government would concede to the American people or not.

“I think I’m the sanest person I know!”

2 dead parents. One I never knew and the other one I wish I’d never known.

People who tell you what you want to hear in the media-stars. Not everyone goes for but most do. This seems to work better than people not saying “what’s the right thing to say”. Their non-controversials. They just lead the perfect life. They do everything right at the expense of their true selves. Truth, is, inside everyone one of us is the potential to be controversial.

Nobody gives a damn what I think-but some clearly want their position noted -IT’S BULLSHIT! We all operate under the same standards, or we don’t! Now what’s it going to be? Are you going to start giving a damn about anything other than yourself, or are we all just going to not give a damn about what you think either, whether you like it or not?????

When you’re afraid of your mother and you’ve lost all respect for your father…. Who do you believe in? 🤷‍♂️

M.A.D. Make a difference

M.A.D.D. Mothers against drunk drivers. They think they’re being attacked, so they go on the attack! When are we gonna stop attacking one another and using anger as our fuel, as our weapon!

Think of all the old Levi’s with holes I could have saved and sold for a 125 apiece. Whoever saw this coming?

You want to create a bunch of consumers and a bunch of people willing to give over their freedom to the government, then create an atmosphere of fear and loneliness and emptiness

If you don’t like someone and you don’t even know them, you either have too much time on your hands, life is too good, you’re extremely arrogant, or something is simply seriously wrong with you.

The person willing to pay the most screws it up for everyone. The person willing to accept the least screws it up for everyone. The man willing to spoil women screw it up for everyone. The man willing to put up with women’s arrogance and pomp screw up for the rest of us. You see how all this works? OH, And the men who hit women screw it up for the rest of us. And the people who exploit and abuse society screw it up for the rest of us. And with the advent of social media people think everyone’s potential criminal.

If people who had a solid foundation in their childhood are struggling with life today then what do you expect from people who didn’t who are facing life’s challenges today?

You know how you feel after you don’t do something. You know how you feel after you do something But you don’t know how you would have felt after you do something if you hadn’t done it instead. Like a man and a woman out for a first date who have sex or don’t have sex that very 1st night.

Cell phones are something that, not quite the perfect drug so far, but it’s something that has a little something for everyone. I said it a number of years back that the perfect drug would affect everyone differently, but perfectly the way tdesire or wish to feel, or simply hits them in a way never before imagined. They’ll come up with something even better or they’ll do something through the cell phone to improve it. People will eventually have something attached to their bodies permanently that cannot be removed, that they will not wish to have removed, will not wish to do without. Trust me on that one! Things attached to their bodies. And then what else -because it’s always something new! When you bring something new in that people don’t fully understand it opens the door for satan. Away from the old and towards the new 🤷‍♂️

I spoke with the counselor earlier today and we were discussing relationships and how things are working in America with regard to people connecting and dating and meeting for the 1st time et cetera. He pointed out that in my case it would require a woman with a lot of patience. I was taken in by this comment. Perhaps even offended. But having thought about it some hours later come perhaps more disheartened than anything. I was hoping I believe deep down inside that I could reach a point where that wouldn’t be required on the part of the woman I love. But perhaps however, that will never be the case. 🤔 😔

Earlier on I knew there were things about myself that needed changing. In my session with my counselor earlier today I realized something. Well based on his responses to some of my questions, it was clear that… This is how I explained it to him. When I was younger I knew there were a lot of things that needed to be changed with me. Now that I have come so far in so many areas, I don’t feel that is so much the case. But what he had described in modern day America as we approach Christmas 2022 in two days is that with regard to meeting women, you need a strategy. He told me it’s not enough for you to know you’re not a threat to them you need to convey to them very clearly that you’re not a threat to them and also to try and make them comfortable with you. I thought someday it would be enough for me to simply get better. But society, human beings as they are in this damage… They have their own ideas about things. Men have to cater to women while many women have the completely opposite attitude towards men. I gave him the example of the double standard we human brings you must endure with one another. A woman could care less about whether I feel comfortable around her I told him, but look how important it is for me to make sure she’s comfortable around me. I guess that’s one of the drawbacks of being the overpowering [stronger] part of the male-female dynamic. I also told them that with regard to trying to make a woman feel comfortable and safe, I’m not very good at that. I also mentioned to him that a lot of men do not have that quality but they will put on an act so that they can lower the woman in -only for her to find later on that hes not at all that person.

●I don’t think I have the mentality…

●It’s going to take a very special woman to…

●I am definitely not from this planet lol

I don’t think I’ve ever found been able to find who I am living in this town.

Too much awareness makes it hard to be spontaneous. Too much from the head makes it hard to be emotional.

Honestly, if we were all powerful [didn’t feel limited], and felt completely content [within ourselves], how many people wouldn’t we [have] pick[ed] to be apart of our lives?

“I think I’m going to fly solo for a while -seek higher ground” 20 years ago

“I DO NOT operate within the boundaries [constraints] much of the world does” BRANDY

In our minds we can have legs to walk, wings to fly, sing like ANGELS, move the entire universe, cure cancer, love like no one is watching, be with the one we love…

Most men refuse to see beyond themselves!

“I can’t help but wonder just how much so much awareness, truth[?] is affecting my ability to relate to others [who tend to be far more closed/limited]?”

Some people have been known to develop or exhibit extraordinary abilities when faced with the sense that their own survival is being threatened. I WONDER… 🤔

“Common knowledge to whom?”

“It’s not that I’m too old for her, it’s that she’s too young for me! See the difference?”

What could be more profound than acute awareness -THE ABILITY TO HEAR GOD?????

Women require a certain approach from a man. Problem is a lot of those men aren’t that purse. And they either don’t know how to change or have no interest in changing -or in certain instances nor should they change. But they have a powerful need or drive and in certain instances ego that compels them to do what is necessary to link with a woman. Even use a woman.

“In the zone”.

It’s not enough to have awareness -heart!!! Character!!!

What is sales -if not manipulation. Wasn’t satan a salesman? A sale implies something for a price, at a price?

They say in order to avoid pain you have to avoid life itself. But some of us have experienced enough to last 2 lifetimes 🤷‍♂️

The people who grow up around me who hurt me aren’t very different from the people who are around me today. Family, school, work, neighbors, store, community…

It seems an unfair advantage encountering people with so much anger these days when I have so little myself.

Man starts out with a good-intention and given any amount of time he begins to twist it into something beneficial to himself. This I would say is where the road to h*** is paved with good intentions.

*****A person has to know their limitations fairly quickly on in sobriety, in their quest for sobriety.

*****If your commitment to sobriety is suspect in the least.

*****If you have any reservations about being sober, if your resolve is suspect in anyway, life will challenge that…

Most times on this journey we’re changing, being affected. In some ways it appears quite obvious how. But so many times it is not so obvious. And so many times when we think it’s obvious that we know how we are being affected, WE ARE QUITE WRONG. And there’s always things we cannot see besides, or rather underneath the things we can! You know, one of the things that intrigued me about the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous is where it talks about uncommon-sense. Common sense becoming uncommon sense. You think I have acquired some of that?

Some people have to work very hard to change peoples impression that we are arrogant. Some people just look at someone or rather some people wherever they go immediately by their looks or the way they dress or their intelligence cause people to believe they are arrogant even when they are not once you get to know them. But it’s still true that oftentimes a person will have to work extra hard against this fellie based on 1st impressions or appearance. This is the case for many things with regard to what any particular individual is endowed with. We all have our struggles in life?

Some people don’t seem able to appreciate their partners in their entirety. Appreciate many of the wonderful assets or facets of their persona, of their spirit.

*****Whether you believe in organized religion or not, as a member of Alcoholics Anonymous the price we pay for our recovery is to make the world a better place for having been a part of it in our recovery. It’s not just about addressing our past misdeeds or our character flaws; It’s about addressing our future and putting our new found self [GOD’S GIFT] to good use all around us!

Certain things that get set in motion that for example trigger other people’s ego. Then people react, start to do things and then they spread wider and wider and wider. One thing that people have in common is that they cannot resist reacting to something that bruises their ego. At least in this country.. Somebody runs a red light or cuts you off ans you do it to the next person and this reverberates because it’s a real blow to the American ego. That’s what’s going on in this town I live in.

Making trouble is at one end of the spectrum, not being a troublemaker is… in the middle [confused yet?], and sewing serenity where there is calamity is at the other end of the spectrum! 👍

I got eggs at Walmart yesterday for 6.72 instead of 22.78. And that’s probably not GOD’S GREATEST DEMONSTRATION OF LOVE BUT -that’s just another indication of my own limitation, my own inability, or unwillingness to often recognize beyond… 🤷‍♂️😔 GOD IS IN THE LITTLE THINGS TOO! TY LORD!!!!

People who try to be positive when there are serious things wrong: is it inappropriate; does make other people who are struggling feel bad or ashamed.[rather than…].

It’s me. I’m the reason I’m single. But not for the dame reason as before. It’s not because I’m doing wrong or pushing good people away s much anymore! But IF I was willing to do things differently, I would have a partner -even in this town! But I don’t assimilate! Alot of people do falsely to GET!!!!! TO GET IN!!!!!

Are we lucky or unlucky with all the things we have in this country? Depends on how you use it and what you do with it and what it does to you!

One of the greatest gifts has been able to appreciate every single moment in life with all your heart.

I had lunch lunch dinner for Christmas Eve with Ana and her husband Ray and it was a wonderful time. I got to learn a little more about myself and about… I grew up kind of spoiled while ray grew up the opposite. He doesn’t seem to think or be bothered too much by poor service when there’s a plate of food sitting front of them. I on the other hand… When we’re both going through the same experience he sees it as a leg up while I see it as a leg down. Maybe he doesn’t even think about it maybe he just figures this is nice even with all the imperfections. That’s not how I look at things. But I got a little closer to learning about that concept this afternoon. Thank you Ray and thank you GOD! 2022 Some people think Alcoholics Anonymous is a step down while others think it’s a step up, and still others see it as a way through. I think people who see it is a step down don’t tend to last. It’s a horrible way to go through sobriety!

I’m thinking 🤔 the issue here inthe town I live in [among others] is this, “If we’re not welcome in your world💁🏼‍♂️💁🏼‍♀️, then you’re no welcome into ours! 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️

With many people it doesn’t matter that what you’re saying is true, what matters is how it affects them emotionally or situationally. That’s the animal-man!

What’s the difference for all of us with regard to a good man that has all the power in the world versus a bad man that has all the power in the world?

There’s what an individual wants or thinks is normal. There’s what a country wants or thinks is normal. There’s what Humanity wants or thinks is normal. And then there’s what God wants or thinks is normal.

The best things in life aren’t free, not even GOD! In fact relationships are the things we have to work hardest at/for [sometimes even fight for]. This is a truth many people in this country do not understand. They look for a person who just falls in their lap. Of course this isn’t the case with everyone.

They don’t even know everything they can do with things like Facebook as an advantage.

The way things are right now with the way men treat women and how that affects a woman’s a tooth, a lot of men end up having to do without having a woman involuntarily. In order for us to change that attidude that women have in this country violent large, many men would have to do without a woman voluntarily.

With regard to joke avich and The Australian open. Why did they let him back into the country while so many others who have been granted a 3 ybar from entering the country withe Visa have not? The answer is there was a bunch of money sitting there in front of them that was just there to be snatched. Many of those other people that have a 3 year restriction, I’m guessing they don’t have it lifted because the country has nothing to gain. Nothing significant. Just think about it, how often does mankind stare money in the face and say “no thank you”?

Based on everything in life I’ve seen, I think my basic attitude is that I don’t want to see any more of it – I’m repelled!

You figure in football between an offensive and defensive people where everything else is equal, the fact that 1 is trying to get away and one is trying to get, there should be a significant advantage difference there.

Some people it seems, never should have been. Their place here is clearly out of place. Some good, some not good.

With a lot of women it’s all about the “sweets-spot“! People in general actually.

Ever meet somebody who does somebody write or good even though they don’t like them? It happens but it’s rare. People don’t ordinarily go against their own feelings. People don’t ordinarily go against their own thoughts actually. But more often their feelings.

You know that old saying “you can’t please everyone”? Well it’s true lol

It may be a sad thing to say but in relationships between men and women oftentimes it comes down to one person giving the other person what they want 1st in order to get what they want. You play this scenario out a 1000 times where one person doesn’t give a person what they want and see if they still get what they want… And in about 999 times out of a 1000, that won’t happen. With human beings it really does come down to satisfaction. JUSSSSST LIKE A BUSINESS! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Even though people have the ability to override this natural, or unnatural inclination –most won’t!

People who are successful always have people around them who want a part of the action. And even though people have the ability to override this natural, or unnatural inclination –most won’t!

Marrying for money and security, how’s that working out in our country?

You know, when you don’t get your needs man in a certain area, you don’t tend to perform a 100% in that area. Now just think about the various areas that human beings function in and the actual performance and when it’s at a 100% of what it’s no at a 100%. And you think about how many times even 100% isn’t enough between us human beings and our performance and our interaction for example. So if that’s not even enough and you’re not getting the basic needs met so that your performance can be at a 100%, then just look at what you end up with.

The relationships between human beings and general were strong to begin with, then the relationships between people 1st meeting would not be so d***** fragile. So prone to breaking down at the slightest hint of trouble or disappointment. As a species our relationships are very frail period!

You think in most cases people are qualified? The answer is no! My point being? In so many cases we give a s*** about what other people think or say or feel.

If women think you’re a player, and you don’t have a good game, forget it. If women think you’re a player, and you have a good game, there’s A5050 chance you’re in. Cause many women can’t resist! You don’t think a lot of them women knew what Uncle Dennis was going after in the clubs, knew what he was about? Of course they did high from but they couldn’t resist the bait and many instances. Women are the original Eve remember

Why do we all have to work independently? Why can’t we forage together like many millennia ago to survive? Well part of the answer to that is that mankind does not want to be responsible for his fellow human being. The other part of that is that the more you can covet… A different system would make that null and void. And besides that calm the only way you might get change with regard to our current system, is if people hauling in a s*** load of money would actually have to work their a** off like a lot of other people in this country who are severely underpaid.

Normally, depending on how far off the mark you are, determines how much work you have to do to hit it. And I seem to be way off the mark in terms of meeting women in this area.

Just leave it alone Rick, those people at Zia are not at all what you want to what, or need them to be.

Some things are still beyond me -let’s just see how things going how far they can go.

A lot of people are not in touch with certain feelings because it would hinder their ability to function and to fit in in the world. So many of us who are taught or develop the ability in Alcoholics Anonymous to recognize and get in touch with these feelings… And are in one way or another compromised or disadvantaged in the above aforementioned areas… Which is it then? Avoid the feelings and function and fit in? Or live with certain awareness is that bring about certain feelings that bring about a compromise in our level of function and our ability to fit in?

Most human relationships aren’t going too well. And the ones that are? You know the story about the man who got everything he wanted don’t you? So in those instances where relationships are going really well? At what cost? Think about it!

Our 1st priority and relationship should be to love; and our 2nd priority should be to grow. Not to laugh, not to get it real nice roof over our heads in a nice part of town. Are people really that shallow?

Humor, like anything else, If depended on too much -or used in the wrong way….

This issue of giving people what they want in order to get what you want. Not everybody wants to play this game. And the ones that are willing, they don’t necessarily want to give first to get last. All these things are disqualifiers. You see the way the world operates, even in the areas that are screwed up, have a gentle balance to them.

If you take one particular area to its pinnacle, many other areas of your being could suffer considerably. In order for your light to shine very bright in a particular area, many other areas must be dimmed. Is this physics? Spiritual physics?

As in society, too with regard to individuals , their worth or value is determined by yin and yang. What values are looked at and what values the individual has. This is often the basis of relationship-formation. That’s why to one person the formation of another person’s relationship [with another] often doesn’t make sense to them. 🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️

This is not a spiritual society where the last want to be with the last, and the 1st want to be with the last. This is a self-centered, egotistical society where the last want to be with the 1st, and the 1st want to be with the 1st.

Never apologize for being too good!

Some people refused to be wrong even if it means shooting themselves in their own foot.

It’s better to have a woman be angry with you than to dislike you…

People who should retaliate but instead respond with kindness are some of the most admired and misunderstood. And a few things speak louder with regard to a person’s character. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷‍♂️

A lot of times we give power to people and then they don’t know how to use it or handle it or respond to it.

Some people have trouble taking people as they are-breathing giving them half a chance. 🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️

I must have a sign on my forehead that reads “I don’t need love, I don’t need anything”. Because people don’t seem to be offering much of anything at all. Anything at all even though I do.
