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?

Like any self serving entity that wins the power struggle car oh, anything around them is likely to be inconvenienced before they are. Our health care system seems to be to be based upon placing the inconvenience more often than not on the patient than on the doctor or the nurse or the system. Rather than having too many people for example in the emergency room they make patients who are sick and an egg and he waited hours for treatment. It’s the same thing with the workforce, there’s always more people there’s always more people who need jobs than there are availability of jobs and the system does this in order to not put a burden on itself.

It seems to me that depending on The Times, consumers are either competing against each other each other for products and services or companies are are competing against one another for the business of the public. If you are a consumer you do not want to be the one competing competing, you want businesses competing for your business.

Since most of us don’t have any clear idea about what a system looks like that puts the individual 1st and truly cares about them rather than itself… we go on date by day just accepting what we yet. Which is clearly a 1/2 hearted effort partially saved and selfishness and partially sated and continual salvation of funds . One in fact caring should be the highest priority

1) Be a giver not a taker;

2) Always think of judging yourself before thinking of judging others.

If you could rebuild something would you be so concerned about it being destroyed?

If you knew where the bad guys were at all times, and could access them at any time, and you had infinite love for them, as well as desire to save the do save their souls, would you be in a hurry to track them down, punish them?

In every endeavor we partake, the element of our humanity should never be an.afterthought, or even a secondary thought.

We’re so enamored, obsessed with freedom of choice, opportunity [those best capable of exploiting, or paying for…] as opposed to what’s best for all, in this country that even, the health care we receive in this country is based upon a sliding-scale! What of the most basic necessities compromised under the rule of capitalism. You want to be the best doctor you have to pay the most money. And even if you’re not, you want a piece of paper that says you are, you gotta pay the money. And if you want to be under that doctor’s care you gotta pay the most money.

Some people live and eat even better than kings of old.

Most of us are never gonna be beyond typical at best no matter how hard we try. Those are the facts. And yet we claim to be living in a land of opportunity where everyone has a fair chance. It’s like a carrot dangled on the string. We’ve all got to stay motivated somehow right? Imagine the society or everyone lost hope and motivation.

I call the emergency room to ask if they’re busy because I have an infection in my eye and end in my throat – The girl says we’re not allowed to give out that information. I just laughed and hung up.

To an inch worm the 8th of an inch is enormous To a 22′ tape worm it’s probably not much.

We talk about the value of that little piece of paper, that legal piece of paper that binds us, legalizes everything… For example, when you die everybody wants to give everything to the family Emily or the spouse or the chill toward the children when in some cases those relationships might not be worth a d***. They might have had a relationship with somebody platonic or otherwise where they genuinely felt loved and cared about but the piece of paper is missing. That manufactured them in the person they wanted to have everything. That’s the case with my ANA! 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

Man when organized and in numbers can be a formidable force to be reckoned with -against right and against wrong. That he’s no match for GOD! Remember that -GOD is not blind to what certain men do to their own kind. Even one man can be formidable in rare instances.

I noticed that many of the movies I thoroughly enjoy which lack humor and sex tend to get a low to mediocre rating.

We complain about the changes going on in our world but it’s our children making them. 🤔

Some people are called upon to be more selfless than even they could ihave ever magined.

Don’t be surprised if this whole thing with global warming gets turned around -nature has a way of balancing the scales.

Sometimes the things we lose or suffer early in life which make it possible to move towards GOD also stand in the way of our taking those final steps. While it may be fate pointing us in HIS direction and spurring us to venture ever closer, IT IS OUR WILL AND OUR FAITH WHICH MUST CARRY US THOSE FINAL FEW STEPS, STEPS MARRED OR HAMPERED BY THOSE LOSSES, THOSE SUFFERINGS IN THE FORM OF BLAME, RESENTMENT, EGO, VICTIMIZATION, INJUSTICE.

Most people need things to be a certain way:

1) Some of it is in order to make sense of things;

2) Some of it selfish in nature.

Driving on the right side of the road in America versus the left side of the road in Europe is symbolic of the approach we took in distinguishing ourselves. Not the best approach.

The biggest sham in the world is that our world, our universe is not supernatural, nor extraordinary. REALLY? IT DIDN’T REQUIRE THE CREATIVITY AND THE GENIUS AND THE POWER OF [A] GOD TO CREATE IT? UTTERLY RIDICULES!!!

To break a pattern of addiction addiction and wade through the ensuing window [without…] seems like an eternity.

If you use the same line of reasoning people used against you, in most cases you’ll generally come out ahead of them. 🤷‍♂️

The real treasure lies in GOD’S loving acts which precede all good fortune.
