I had a real hard time adjusting to companies selling gas having me pay first. To me it was an insult to my trustworthiness. Companies reducing the risk on their end at our expense.

And if you thought like God in terms of infinity, and in terms of infinite love; why wouldn’t you have a continuous stream of souls going back to you and thus an infinitely large, ever-increasing family (IOW -maybe what the end is just the beginning and the beginning is just the ending- maybe the cycle of life on the whole will be infinite, while at the individual level is where “The Second-coming of our Lord and Saviour -Jesus Christ” pertains to each individual on a personal level)? In addition, why would you not have children scattered about all over the universe in different forms (afterall, you created the entire universe -and for what)? And then you have people who think The Bible cannot possibly be true because there are aliens not mentioned in it? What kind of (non-scientific) reasoning is that?

People think about the coming calm of the 2nd coming of God as this huge eventhis huge event said at some particular time in the future. But at the same time God says the kingdom of God is within us. So 🤔 -why can’t this event be taking place on a continual basis, to each one of us? The Bible states, the time is near, and yet we’ve been waiting for 2000 years. Maybe the time, and the place are near; nearer, and closer than we ourselves might like to imagine.

God doesn’t tell us everything, ndy certainly doesn’t tell us what we can’t handle -the difference between him and the government is that He literallt refrains from telling us what we cannot handle for our own good and based upon that and not some coverup for advantage.*

God never gives us more than we can handle. So how was it then that people get overwhelmed in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous?

•By putting too much on ourselves that’s how. By wanting 10 years of our life back in 10 days or 10 weeks or 10 months.

*And I can only say that there are more things than you can possibly imagine (many things he himself would be inclined to disagree with) which would be disturbing to man’s fragile nature -and thus his journey towards the light!

Is it really true that Eisenhower or Truman told an alien that we would be nothing without our problems and therefore please do not solve them for us.That is practically admission of refusal to eliminate problems from mankind! That’s easy to say when you’re at the top! Tell that to the people at the bottom!

The people at the top want more and the people at the bottom want more 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The more things you love about your life the harder it will be to give up, to let go of… to accept change.

The less things you love about your life, the more readily you tend to be with regard to giving it up -to change.

As a boy, change didn’t mean a bigger house, a better car, or a better part of town to move to. For many people there is a negative association with change. My parents didn’t enjoy a wonderful life until I was 10… It went to shit from the day I was born

These writings at times, have a tendency to come in strings… When one comes then another idea comes and another idea comes and another idea comes in another idea comes… Sometimes I will not get them written down in time and I break the string. Then another thought will come to mind as is the case now, where a different string of writings will then come to mind -I think that’s how it works 🤔

I find that people who have a “full and happy life”* often find it very difficult to break away from it and assist others in need. The key to constant thought of helping others lies in having a life* such that one craves any opportunity to get out of themselves and be of service to others.

*A life opposite of that which creates an opposing attitude towards selflessness. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

**You see, having forgotten one of the 2 writings writings that came moments ago, this being 1 of them above… The next 2 writings proceeding after this post came to mind (and any future strings of… new post, new string, or rosary… 🤷‍♂️). Now the question for me becomes… Would those writings have come to me at precisely that moment if things had been different and I would have remembered both of the writings instead of only one of them and placed them (both) on this post above? Posts which followed:

•”THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’”

•”IF I WERE A CARPENTER” 🤔

•”BELIEVE IT OR NOT” 🙆‍♂️

It’s a lot harder to take advantage of people who give of themselves freely give of themselves freely -It’s people who are very narrow in their offering and they’re giving who quite easily feel taken advantage of.

Just as people who are humble are much harder to offend than people who are arrogant.

I have met women who clearly have specific wants and needs. But when it came to my specific wants and needs they were either unwilling or unable to meet that meet them.

Or perhaps they were waiting to have their wants and needs met first by me. Typical behavior for an immature, selfish self-centered individual.

I’ve met many women who more or less have a set routine of giving. But when asked to do something outside of it – they are either incapable or unwilling. They basically did the things they wanted to and avoided the things they didn’t want to do. That doesn’t sound much like love to me. In my more recent relationships I’ve come to recognize love as -often doing things for people we don’t necessarily want to do. Men (and many women -only the more selfless ones however) are notorious for making sacrifices for their partners and their 👪.

It’s just a guess, but it seems to me that because of my low income, many of the women I dated didn’t feel the sense of respect for me I felt I deserved as a human being and as a person who, in many cases would go to great lengths to try and meet their needs even though I was highly limited in a financial sense. It may not be a very nice thing to say but in a lot of cases this is the attitude I was dealing with seem to be that of you meet my criteria first my criteria first and then I’ll go ahead and play ball with you regarding yours.

I think a lot of women also have a tendency to to weigh their options. When a guy when a guy isn’t meeting up to their expectations they tend to have an attitude in certain cases of I can do better and I will-bye. Having options doesn’t give you the right to be a cold, pompous ass. To some people human beings are like tomatoes, pick only the perfectly-ripe, firmest ones. I dated a gal in her early twenties, when I was in my early thirties… Is completely shallow. She would talk about anatomical body parts of a man -as if she were squeezing an avocado. We would have sex and afterwards she would make comments like “I needed that” cold cold cold. She lied to me on numerous occasions and after the fact simply said we’re not seeing each other any more so what is it matter. She once told me “get a clue”. One time I opened up and had a real laugh about something -she looked at me as if I was weird. She shamed me!

I’m learning that a lot of the women I dated when I was younger were very immature and selfish (as was I -but atleast I was trying -more than they were so it seemed)”. Now that I’m getting to know I need to know older women of my age and my later years of life….

*2 things I heard is a young adult male:

•You tried too hard**

•You’re too honest**

**A lot of women like what I guess could be termed of challenge. They don’t like a man who just lays out on the porch like an old hound dog. Or who comes when they’re called. In my personal experience it seems a lot of women would rather have an asshole than a push over for a partner. A piece of advice my old man gave me many years ago was this:

“When it comes to women, it’s better to be an S.O.B. than a fool”.

I’ve known women who seem very unselfish -but then I discovered it was more or of a routine where they had these set behaviors they exhibited. When a situation calls for them to do something above and beyond or different… they became agitated and their true nature, that of selfishness, would come out as well. I’m sure I’ve seen this behavior with men as well -but for me it seems to hit closer to home in the dating sector. My aunt would be another example of such behavior -she’ll do this this, this and this voluntarily, but don’t ask her to do this, or this, or this… or forget it!

Eventually there will be no such thing as overlap of actors at all. No type-casting – Because there will be so many actors in the business there won’t be room for anyone to make more than one movie. Besides that, they will start using human beings who don’t exist through technology to fail rolls.

And what about cloning… Lawrence Olivier anyone?

And music! What happens when technology can make sounds that the human vocal chords cannot?? Who’s gonna wanna go back to listening to people?

Picture never having to watch the same movie twice because there’s a billion of them to choose from.

Picture of the world being flooded with so many different wordifferent words that you can just pick anything out of the air and type it into Google and something will come up – I wrote this in for instance 20 years ago and it’s already starting to come true. Some of the stupidest names or accidental names you type in with an error and something comes up

I’ve heard from women on a number of occasions that when they were younger they thought they were “hot shit”.. I continue to meet women in this age group who act as such. Can you imagine the ones that land a modeling deal or acting career?

If only we had higher moral standards and greater resolve… many of the things existing in the world today would fade away.

Why do some problems seem to go away and others seem to continually linger?

•The people in power to change or resolve them see little need to since it doesn’t affect them directly

• Since we are a highly materialistic society many of our decisions are based upon the need to prosper at the expense of others or to maintain an advantage over others – Oftentimes, when others are down -it makes us feel better about our situation rather than actually doing something about the issues in our lives 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

A man on his way to work drives past and 1st passed an elderly woman with a flat tire and thinks nothing up. The following week he sees a beautiful young girl in the same predicament, pulls over, fixes the tire coma gets a phone number…. Do you really think this man gives a damn about you? Do you even care yourself? I tell you come a lot of women think they are very different from men but in a lot of ways nothing could be further from the truth. Cut from the same cloth -best case scenario opposite ends. People in it for themselves. And when one gets burned… Shakes his head 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Did God really find it necessary to make sex so pleasurable pleasurable when he was completely against us acting immorally with respect to it! Against abortion. Knowing how weak we are in the face of anything pleasurable! I mean was it:

•One of the greater tests of our moral resolve, or;

•Was it something more simple, like the the fact that man would have no drive to procreate without such an insatiable desire to prompt 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ (6 of one half dozen of the other -there would be a problem either way.). I mean are we that inept, lacking in…????
