With a monopoly you can manipulate prices. Even with a so called Mini monopoly you can manipulate the public through deception. If for example you have people working together gather on an online auction…

Keep in mind, most of the posts thus far -are from 20-30 years ago. So there are somewhat outdated….. I don’t get out much but perhaps some of the more revolutionary idhis revolutionary ideas that came to me many years ago are perhaps not so revolutionary today. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When we lose some, we always gain something-provided we’re:

1. Willing to accept what we have lost;

2. Willing to accept what we have gained.

Many, most, (if not) all (🤷🏻‍♂️) of the principles entwined/interlaced in these posts carry over to some, if not all other facets of reality (life in the case of we humans).

It’s better to risk injury or risk even to one’s own health than it is to be offensive in an attempt to avoid such dangers. If you insist on taking actions which otherwise detour you from being helpful to another in need -then do so tactfully, respectfully.

If you think about it 🤔 It’s got to be someone. Most of us are more or less relegated to 2 realities:

1. A need, a drive inside us to be with another human being (could be other things too 🤷🏻‍♂️);

2. The Choices available to us in the environment around us. In most cases, somebody’s gonna end up with somebody -rather than nobody.* (**)

*Do you know what it’s like to be alone -really alone? People who do -often have a very different mindset from people who don’t.

**Many women only think they’re making a choice when in reality most of them wait for the man to choose (to make their move) and then from from a number of those men they make a choice. Like it or not, based on the realities of life, we have limited choices (and in varying degrees). A woman; a modern day American woman in her prime (28), stuck on a deserted island with 5 male pigmies. 14,16, 70, 80, 90. Of the 2 younger ones, one is sterile the other impotent lol 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️ And of the 3 older one’s… 🤣 JUUUUUST KITTEN 😸

Yes! No! Maybe?

Yes! No! Later! (God’s 3 answers)*

When we have been judged severely by others for example, we only have 2 directions to go in in response. When for example, we grow up with 2 alcoholic parents, we only have 2 directions to go in in response (in the majority):

•You either become bitter and you respond in kind;

•The pain of the experience resonates so deeply -you become averse;

•Most of us will end up somewhere in the middle;

•In rare instances, the individual will not be swayed one way or the other 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️

Since ALL human-beings are imperfect, we will always have a blemish in some area of our being -of our character! Otherwise, we wouldn’t be imperfect creatures then would we?**

*If you’re tired of hearing “no” or “later”, try asking different questions. Try asking questions of a different…. “YES QUESTIONS”.

*I may have mentioned this previously -many human beings appear to have an affinity for at least one “vice” if you will. Something unhealthy which helps us to cope, take the edge off… Just about every human being invariably falls into this category I believe. Certainly in the high stress world of modern day America.

I don’t think we get sick so certain people can make a bunch of money and keep it all to themselves. God just doesn’t work that way.

•There are consequences for our actions and inactions. Always designed for our betterment.

•God does not make cures that make man sicker -so let’s get that 1 out of the way.

•God could make people lots of money for curing us provided that money is put to good use.

•Some die so that others may live; Some suffer so that others may be saved.

Anything outside of that probably isn’t God. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️

One thing most men have yet to figure out (accept) -Things happen so that other things don’t happen!

There’s a difference between being tight, and being poor -or is there? 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you Lord for something to dirty those dishes with (🙏🏻 for when I am not in the mood for doing the dishes)*.

*Everyone has a story: When I was living with my aunt and Uncle for my 9th grade year in school -My Uncle put me to doing dishes with his 2 girls, while his son, not much older than me, took out the trash. I felt… 🤷🏻‍♀️
