Any time a person or a group has an advantage over another, trying to convince them convince them through logic or whatever means, morality, empathy, compassion… to let loose of that advantage so that equality may spawn, call a quality of life for all maybe above a certain level.. It may not even be an issue of quality of life per se (but on the other hand, what isn’t about quality of life) – Anyways, as I was saying, trying to get a person or a group to give up that advantage advantage in the name of fairness, justice, equality… is often an uphill battle. As I mentioned in the previous post, equal rights for black’s, equal rights for women, equal rights for people of different sexual orientation/gender… not because of their sexual orientation but because they’re human beings and children of God, The people who have advantages are feel empowered over them – Refused to readily give up their advantage when in fact they should have done so willingly as a matter of Justice, fairness, love for their fellow man.

Who didn’t see who didn’t see the price of gold surpassing the price of platinum coming? Well it is true that platinum is a heavier metal, and perhaps even more rare(?), the applications and beauty of gold far surpass anything else. But since we’re so out of touch most of us can see these things coming.

I read an article on James Brolin, and in it there was a comment by a co-star from a television series “Hotel” where she mentions that while working with him, she picked up on his ability (mindfulness) to make a woman feel safe -and how important that is. Women are not the only ones who feel unsafe, insecure, less than. But I have met very few women in my life who have made an effort to console me in these areas. You say it’s different for a woman-I say not in all instances. Being abused by a number of women in my childhood, mama I feel very unsafe for unsafe around certain women -usually the kind who could give a damn about the fact that I feel unsafe around them. 🤔 Again, usually the people who have an advantage are the ones who feign equality while the ones who are at a disadvantage cry out for it -and more! I’ll tell you a little known secret about inequality among human beings – Many of the people at the bottom of the heap wouldn’t act any differently if they were at the top of it. Karma!

Something that many of us do not give much it’s not giving much weight to is the fact that men are not born of men and women born of women. Is both men and women are born of a woman. Men and women both experienced vulnerability in the arms of their mother -a woman. Now as we grow older, we come to recognize this gender difference. However men and women alike, have or share this single fact of life, And in many cases it presents a conflict. The fact that men are not like women nor women like men come and the fact that we men came from a woman. Imagine being born of a woman come and later in life finding yourself at odds with the opposite sex as a man! With women it could be a triple issue. Being born of a woman. Being at odds with women. And the fact that you yourself are a woman. My point is that there’s got to be an enormous differentiation differentiation between sexes comit says come and the fact that we are both born from one sex -a woman. Can you figure out what some of those ramifications might be? (+/-)?

You know, there’s just something about people who feign money, [rewards, gifts, honors 🎖… may as well throw these in].

Just as people notice when we are selfish, thoughtless, malicious; tthey also notice when we are selfless, thoughtful, and loving. But to be such, usually requires 2 things:

1. Sacrifice;

2. Humilty.

Unfortunately, peoples resources and their ego tend to be the things they guard most. As an Alcoholics Anonymous, surrender is the final frontier of many an alcoholic, but it’s the only thing that will save them. Unfortunately for the human race, our resources and our egos are the final frontier, and letting go of them is perhaps the only thing that will save 🇺🇸 US. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️ Just as we propagate bitterness, fear, contempt into the world through our actions; we can also bring joy, security, acceptance.

How many people placed in positions of judgment of others are themselves guilty of…?

Given man’s history, given his track record, why should we trust anyone to stand in judgment over us? 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

Lawyers continue to attempt to manipulate the jury.

The easiest lie to tell is the one that even the score [in your mind]. Thank you once again Lord for bringing this one to my attention as well -and answering my prayers! 🙏🏻

When it’s you against the system, how was it that you have so few supporters?

I guess I just have different values, different priorities than much of the world.

When you stop feeling ashamed around others for the things you do in private -something is very wrong!

When you can look people in the face and straight up lie come and feel nothing -something is very wrong!

I think a lot of people in this country have learned to do just that! 😔

Everybody loves a great mystery-and people in the legal system legal system are no exception. The thing of it is, these people deal with reality. And the sad thing is they forget that these are real people come real lives suffering various tragedies.

For some -freedom is more of a curse! Thank you once again Lord 🙏🏻

If the courtroom is a place where careers are made or broke based upon winning and losing rather than a search for the truth -then what have we become?

What happens in a court case where you have definitive -yet opposing- evidence? Thank you once again Lord 🙏🏻

You take a magnifying glass to any public figures life, and you’re not likely to find anything more than what you would find in a non-public figures life when put under a microscope. 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

Just because a person or persons happened to be hiding something, doesn’t mean they haven’t to be hiding that particular something you are fishing for -It doesn’t make them guilty of a crime according to man’s law.

People are bickering about people on zoom in the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings not wearing shirts. Last time I checked, it was not illegal for a man to not wear a shbut not where a shirt publicly. If the issue is not illegal, and it does not affect AA as a whole…. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Man needs God and then he doesn’t need God. Man needs God and then he doesn’t need God. And so it is throughout history. When God raises man to a higher place – Man besides you no longer needs God.

When you are fighting for everyone -those who stand against you are fighting for what?

Thank you Lord for answering my prayer and helping me to remember:

People who have lasting relationships and friendships -probably don’t criticize much!

When I was younger I would ask myself how it would react in certain situations – Naturally I saw myself much braver than I likely was. I would envision myself in certain situations based on my beliefs and convictions that chins that I would act a regardless of the consequences or danger to myself.. Now I realize, miscoma many years later I had realized, which now would be many years ago, that in many ways I’m quite ordinary -and not very heroic at all.

“All you have to do is the right thing-and you have nothing to worry about!”

The above was what came to mind while I was out walking Daisy. There’s this red truck out there that keeps coming around the apartment complex.. He drove by a couple of times yesterday when I was out walking. Stopped in front of Daisy and I. Then he was at the corner again today – as we we’re walking in the door he came passing by the apartment driving very slowly. Then as I came back inside to finish reading the last page of “Poem of the Man-God” for the day, What do you think was the 1st passage that I saw when I knelt down to continue my reading from where left off just as Ana had called 30-40 minutes earlier?

«Cheer up! Do not let that worry you! See? You are making your sisters weep…
The Lord will help you so paternally that you will not be afraid. Sinners must be
afraid…» [Source: Poem of the Man-God; volume 3; pg 356; pp 8 (5 volume-set “Poem-of-the-Man-God.pdf” google search)].

Daisy has only been with me but a few short day – When I kneel down resting my elbows on the bed next to where Daisy sleeps during day (on Ana’s blue-blankie at foot), I start my reading, It’s as if she knows to leave me to my reading and not interfere because as much as she would like to get between my arms or arms are cuddle with me she turns round and goes to our little spot as soon as she hears me start reading.

The majority of companies need us we don’t need them. Based on the very basic idea that all the man really needs is food shelter and clothing and air. 3 out of 4 actually, depending on where you live I suppose

Sidenote: Poor people don’t think about the glass glass of milk in front of them today, mama they think about whether they should save it save it until next week when they’re nearing the bottom of a 1/2 gallon. Enjoy it now and do without later, or do without now and enjoy later?

Today the way people shop is they deny themselves X and Y. That’s the way shopping works these days. 300 million plus people in the country today, company survived by penny survived by selling 2 groups or pockets within the population period of course this was the case a 100 years ago buthirty years ago but now it has become the norm. Actually it has become become the only way business can be done.It’s not just that there is so much to choose from, it’s it with prices bicyclescalating people have to decide what they will and won’t do with and without.

Trust with animals is everything! With people come we get ourselves into all kinds of things -truster no trust! 🙃🙂 There’s a lesson in there somewhere that animals understand and many of us apparently do not. We put our human-interests ahead of our God-given-instincts.

5 reasons evil triumphs:

1. Satan -the ancient provocateur;

2. Evil people in the world (malicious);

3. Sick people in the world;

4. Good people doing nothing (indifferent);

5. Good people thinking they’re doing the right thing when it isn’t -It’s not a sin but it contributes nonetheless (ignorance).*

Things exist in the world for 3 reasons insofar as man is concerned:

1. He hasn’t figured out how to make money while ridding the world of it;

2. Is powerless to do anything about it;

5. He’s benefiting or profiting from its existence (he may be turning a blind-eye or encouraging);

4. It’s not hurting him (though it may be hurting others) so why bother?

5. The norm used to be that man seized the opportunity when he saw it. Now more and more, man us creating these opportunities. Man is no longer merely “the victim of circumstance” (Those opportunities do not come often enough), he is becoming the orchestrator, the instigator. THE EVOLUTION OF 👨 As I had said before, when you crack one door open and peep into it, you see another door beyond it, and another, and another, and another… Man starts out good; Then he gives into temptation; Then he becomes the tempter. Adam and Eve played out over millenia -It’s a mechanism coupled with a faulty nature.

*This could be noted as either a sixth, or as a summation. Too many:

1.Malicious people;

2. Indifferent people;

3. Ignorant people;

And not enough:

4. Benign people.

You and your wife her husband may be perfectly suited in the early going -but not so in the latter years; which is why he or she didn’t end up with you. And God knows these things.

First best is to be good throughout the lifecycle; Second best is to screw up in the beginning and get it together in the end; Third best is getting it right in the beginning and screwing up totally in the end; Fourth, and last, screwing up the entirety of one’s own life!

Perhaps the hardest, most demanding,, most challenging, the thing that draws upon everything in us to be at optimal operating level -treat all people the same!

Do children have a tendency to surpass or fall short of their parents in their parents in terms of character and values?

You put 2 people together on a desert island and they’re going to bond. But not in all cases. You see, even in the most dire of circumstances we human beings have the ability to place personalities above principles! 🤔

It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense does it-manufacture something in a wholesale cost, And sell it at a wholesale price when you can sell it for a retail price for 2X, 3X, 4X… It may sound hard to believe but we are surrounded they’re surrounded by buying for 1X and selling for 2X, 3X, 4X all the time. Why would anybody sell something for 1X when there are people out in the world willing to pay 2, 3, 4 times that – It not only seems to defy logic it seems to go against human nature which in many cases these days is to get as much as you can apparently.

Most of us will never own a $700000 watch

Sidenote: Why do so many of us turn to destructive behaviors when faced with….

Animals and other creatures of the world -you do not see see so much in different shapes and sizes as you do humans. A lion generally looks like a lion. A bear generally looks like a bear. A seal generally looks like a seal. A cricket generally looks like a cricket. A snake generally looks like a snake. A praying mantis generally looks like a praying mantis.

Sidenote: Average means just that average! I would like to see the human race exemplify the term average on a much higher level than it is. God would too I’m sure!

Everything has something good for, something bad for, and something that doesn’t seem to have an effect one way or the other. Teeth for example… Just the right texture and resistance while chewing a certain type of food is either good Ford, bad for it, or doesn’t seem to make a difference one way or the other.

I find it interesting that the thing that we human beings love most is one of the 1 of the most damaging things to the human tooth. Why couldn’t it be something we don’t like that much?
