Walking and breathing [sleeping 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️] seem to be the only things that don’t come with a price tag. But if the atmosphere continues to take a dive, don’t be surprised……. Human beings, whatever circumstances may come, mankind is going to do whatever they have to do, do whatever they have to do to one another to survive [ But there’s always some fool looking to switch the SURV in survive with a THR as in thrive]. We refer to these kind of people in various terms = People looking to exploit tragedies.

Human beings obviously come with all sorts of different attachments to their attitudes, persona, behavior, nature… And just when you think you’ve seen or heard it all somebody comes up with something else. Now if you look at the gay… through these lenses, you come to realize that it’s anyone’s guess where it stems from? Humans are complicated creatures. Until you shrink them back down to what really matters, what’s real. Some people are even trying to say that GOD made them that way. Therefore it must not be wrong. These people clearly know very little about GOD! God never does anything without a purpose! What purpose does Union between a man and a woman serve? The number one answer is the one that is absent in homosexuality. What purpose does sin serve? If God-created something it always has a purpose. And since we all know that God didn’t create sin, it doesn’t serve a purpose. But it can be used however… Do not confuse sin with temptation either. And don’t think that we haven’t thought of the fact that man can make up any excuse, or a purpose for his actions -just not by GOD’S standards! Man too can be as cunning as any creature. You could argue that the number one reason GOD created man and woman is for love, companionship, and therefore two men and two women can enjoy the same…. Or that GOD created human beings because HE was lonely or because HE wanted children… Or out of a simple act of love. Look I don’t have all the answers and some theologian probably could do a better job of explaining GOD’S thinking. But I do know 2 things:

1) I’m sure there’s a really good reason for why God didn’t create 2 men in the garden of Eden or 2 women;

2) Man was created with the ability to evolve; and his ability to evolve into something good seems to go hand-in-hand with his ability to evolve into something bad; his ability to ascend seems to go hand-in-hand with his ability to descend. Having said that; and this is where it all seems to get very convoluted convoluted or confusing; in many cases, we human beings can’t seem to differentiate one from the other; which is why certain topics seem to go on year after year -split down the middle. But I think if we go back to GOD’S original plan, we can’t go wrong. Or rather, HIS original design!*

*Do you think you’re the only one that’s got issues with God’s laws? You take offense to the notion that your lifestyle or your desires are warped, sinful… I love this woman dearly; who is married to another man; and I continue to hope against hope that we will someday be together. This, in the face of GOD’S law that a man and a woman who are married, or even divorced, cannot be with somebody else -IT’S ADULTERY! BUT YOU SEE:

1) I don’t want to accept GOD’S law;

2) My feelings overrule my reasoning;

3) I can’t let go. My feelings and my beliefs are too strong. But that doesn’t make me right.**

**The closer to home something hits, the more apt we are to defy GOD and HIS laws. Oh, you should see people when dealing with issues with their children on their left hand; and God’s laws on their right hand -GOD’S laws take a back seat almost every time. It doesn’t mean GOD in HIS infinite mercy is not understanding of these situations, it simply means that we are often inclined to do “X” while GOD’S laws happen to be “Y”. It’s the oldest story in the world!***

***You can see many shades of life among human beings today in the history of The Bible and other philosophies of life. They knew what was going on even back then. And still we fail to learn. The Bible says that it is in man’s nature to sin. Now The Bible is a fairy tale, then tell me why we are not learning from our mistakes -which is another facet of man’s being? Why do we keep committing the same violations, the same offenses over and over, generation after generation? IN FACT, THE VERY LAWS GOD WROTE INTO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, SEEM TO PRETTY MUCH COVER, AND TO THE LETTER, EVERY SINGLE OFFENSE MANKIND CONTINUALLY VIOLATES -SEEMINGLY TO THE EXTENT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP HIMSELF! It’s just that evident, pervasive!

You might be surprised how many things you don’t need to know to own and run and profit from a business. A lot of people hire other people who know what they’re doing, some people even hire people to run the business for them. Just how much do you think you can get away with not knowing and still make a lot of money in this world? The answer might surprise you.

Throughout history, particularly from the onset of the industrial age, time and time again man has failed to entirely capitalize [maxiximize, squeeze everything he possibly can in every possible aspect, sector, dimension…]! Thank you once again LORD for answering my prayer from days ago 🙏🏻

You gotta figure that with regard to privileges it is only right to pay for them right? Well it seems like just about anything you do in this country must be a privilege because they’re charging you for just about everything you do. The only thing they don’t seem to be charged and you forward walking. As in walking to the grocery store. Can you imagine walking to a ski trip though? Walking to California to see the beach? Everything is money in this country. A lot of things to do when you got to pay for every single one of them. And I hate to break the news to you, but as many things as there are to do in this country calm a lot of people don’t enjoy them because guess what “THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY”. And the other thing is that this probably won’t matter the most people reading this because that’s also the nature of the country we live in. Most people are more interested in whether or not they have what they need or want rather than weather or whether or not other people have what they need or want.

Some of these animations get carried away with voluptuous women. You don’t think some of these men, young men are being affected by it, some of these boys?

suppose that works for some people, except is oma expanding their awareness and their spiritual foundation comes from getting what they want want as opposed to not getting what they want 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Governments [tend to] do things systematically not sympathetically! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

There were apparently more important things to me concerning the relationship then simply yeah simply keeping it together. That’s not necessarily the case with all people.

It’s amazing what a person’s mind ego, satan can repeatedly talk a man into, talk a man into believing, convince him of. This seems to be an ongoing thing with a man.

Just about any man with a decent income can attract a woman -but not every man without one can.

People these days are too in love with money. And when people love money more than they do their fellow human beings WE ALL BETTER WATCH OUT!

The air inside the house is different from the air outside the house. Ever have something to eat. And then you walk outside and you have a noticeable increase in level of taste of what you just ate due to the fresh air?

Trust me, it’s worth it to invest whatever time it takes to figure out what you really want to do for the next 30 or 40 years of your life!

I used to be uncomfortable in various situations -no more! For years in sobriety, I would walk out of a store empty-handed, afraid someone would stop me!

“The eyes”.

Sometimes I like to pretend like I’m listening to my favorite songs for the 1st time for the 1st time and imagining what it felt like is that song unfolded before me touching my heart 💙

Most people cannot or will not spend extended moments of time along with themselves [with GOD?]. Where the good stuff lies,most people are unwilling to go there, thus, settling for mediocrity 🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Some Alcoholics greatest contribution is a [continual] lesson in perseverance!

Better to be “pleasantly surprised” than “unpleasantly surprised”.

One of the greatest gifts of the 12-step program is being comfortable in your own skin!

It’s one thing to overlook something, another to do so INTENTIONALLY!

How long can most of us go, by GOD’S standard, before making a mistake?

GET [UN]COMFORTABLE!

I’m not a man who’s very easily fascinated fascinated or or prone to laughter -but I must admit, I find many of these posts 📫 quite fascinating. 🤔

The more spiritually fit I am, the more in control of my faculties I am able to exert. 🤷‍♂️ The less… the less… 🤷‍♂️ IT HAS BEEN THIS PATTERN FOR ALMOST 32 YEARS; LIKELY T/O MY LIFETIME

The fallout from being spoiled as a child is a hard thing to overcome!

“I’m too much for people”.

Once I started figuring out a few things in school, I reasoned that certain approaches to teaching didn’t make sense. Teaching people something with no apparent understanding of its purpose in the outside world for example -made clear! I guess if some people can see what’s on their horizon, they can put 2 and 2 together. In my case I didn’t. I couldn’t. I didn’t know what my future held so how could I khow could I know the usefulness or the meaningfulness of what meaningfulness what it was I was studying at the time. 🤷‍♂️

Some people are actually in a position where they get to demand (expect) perfection from their fellow human-beings, with compliance on the part of the individual as their response. I was never afforded that privilege, that respect [in my personal relationships]. I guess in order to get such conformity conformity from another human being, there has to be something significant in their mind in it for them. As I reasoned many years ago, I think many women are only compliant to the extent that there is something in it for them, and how much? Women respect men with power, and money -if only on the outside. 🤷‍♂️😏 It seems to be human nature that the more you stand to gain, the more you’re willing to endure or put up with or go through. Many relationships that should have ended immediately last for years because of the perks. And don’t tell me it isn’t so! All along, I actually thought I was a really worthless person. When in reality, from a rather selfish or shallow perspective, I simply didn’t have enough going for people to put up with me -Which appears to be more often than one might think, the common way of doing things in America; the common way of making relationships last longer than they should. I DON’T DO ARRANGEMENTS [WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME; WHAT ARE YOU BRINGING TO THE TABLE… THIS IS WHAT “JOE” OVER THERE HAS TO OFFER, WHAT ARE YOU OFFERING?]. SICKENING! THIS “CONDITIONAL-LOVE”. THIS ARRANGING OF… THIS WEIGHING OF… THIS SYSTEMATIC CHECKING OF “CHECKS AND BALANCES”, THIS MAPPING OUT… WELL HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU? A KID WITH OUT IT’S FATHER, A MONTHLY CHECK IN THE MAIL… DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? AND YOUR KID, Maybe he doesn’t see his father is the problem like you do. And how much of that check does he really get to see every month? Maybe doesn’t care about that check as much as you do. Pfffff! And maybe, just maybe he or she has a greater capacity for accepting their father unconditionally than you do!
