Next time a representative from a company you do business with gives you attitude… tell them this:
• Last time I checked I pay the bills -including your check!
• If a company could figure out how to do business without paying you they would -and if they could figure out how to get more of me they would!
Who came up with the brilliant idea of divvying up our 🌍
And what’s with all this land that none of us are privy to as American citizens born on the soil? They have some kind of an arrangement with the native Americans Americans whereby they are entitled to certain lands… And the rest of us are what? I’m an American citizen and I was born on this continent and I’m not entitled to anything? How convenient for a capitalism society -where you pay as you go! I want to know how it came about that people who were born on this native soil, who are American citizens, have no rights to any of this land unless we pay for it?
We took it from the Native American so if the Chinese take it from us… They say have the country zoned by the Chinese at this point. But good luck trying to take over! Try that and watch our military going to action!
You know it was a good thing when the whole world was at odds with each other because it was kind of like an ecosystem which kept everything in check. Unification of this world is the worst thing that could happen to at! That’s all we need is one (more) King! *
Did you know we have kings in the United States! Sure we do! There’s the king of Amazon! There’s the king of Walmart! There’s the king of the United States! There’s those kings we’ve never even heard of because they’re underground….
The pie is so big that we don’t realize that the more one person takes the less there is for the other. But if you’re at a picnic with 4 other people, and one person steps in and takes 3/4 of the pie -then you put them in their place right? Well why don’t we do that with a bigger pie!
Why can’t we go back and lower prices to the sixties or seventies and start over? Anything that’s man-made can be undone by man! Redone! Done over! Replicated…
*As an American citizen I have the right to be here -but everything else I have to pay for!
Everywhere you go in the city practically you have to put up your money or you’ll be asked to leave-you’re considered a literary. We claim (pay for) our little chunk of territory everywhere we go -and then we expect a payment (reimbursement).
If you go out into the world there’s nothing worth any money out there – Nothing that doesn’t have a cage, building, with a lock around it! Man has clamped down on everything! Seized it for himself!
I’ll tell you another thing that dawned on me, money is everywhere -and yet it’s unreachable, untouchable!
Not all human beings are predators, but most of us, men, women, children too -tend to be seekers, if not hunters!
The dynamic in many a relationship, one tends to be dominant, the other submissive. One assertive, the other passive. One, particular, the other accepting. There is usually one person in a relationship willing to take up the slack (flack)! How else can a relationship remain in tact?
Personally, I prefer not to lead or to follow! As the old saying goes, “Don’t walk behind me I may not lead. Don’t walk ahead of me I may not follow. Walk beside me and be my friend.”*

I find, the less you have of something (or someone) -the less inclined you are to take it/them for granted (or take advantage -does that make sense?). “Absents makes the 💝 grow fonder”.
On a personal level, I have found that the “less” chaotic, busy, even fun my life is, the more inclined I am towards thinking of 🤔, and being available for others.
One key which applies to every kind of relationship I can think of: 🤔
“DON’T HARM EACH OTHER!”
Sidenote: I’d mention from time to time in a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous it’s anonymous that if you never hurt yourself or another human being again you’ve got 90% of the program down.
The next time you do something that’s very dear to you calm do it as if it were your lbut where you’re last-it may very well be! The next time you do something that’s very dear to you calm do it as if it were your lbut where you’re last-it may very well be!
As with “The Poem of the Man-God” -many of these blogs in and of themselves are inconsequential. They are designed more so for 2 purposes:
1.To garner your attention (curiosity too can open the door)
2.To impart to you that a mere man(selfish and self-centered in the extreme), highly limited in so many areas of his being, could not possibly amass such a broad, deep spectrum himself.
While the secondary goal is we live better lives through becoming better people (and not simply to have better lives). The primary goal is that you come to know who is speaking to you -and why!

Some people think that sleeping with a celebrity is something… a reflection of how great (good) they themselves are! If you had your choice of sleeping with a very beautiful person with an ugly soul or a though we’re a very ugly person with a beautiful soul -which would your choice tend towards? The correct answer is neither! But your choice nonetheless is indicative of your own heart.
Beautiful people far too often take credit themselves rather than giving it to God. And worse yet, they use it to their own demise -rather than God’s glory!*
*I had forgotten this one earlier or wrote it down incorrectly while out in this mornings walk with Miss Daisy. God’s all fit to remind me in this moment! Thank you Lord 🙏
People complain when they don’t get the service they pay for -but they don’t compliment often enough when they do!*
People complain when they get short changed at the register but they rarely go back when they get overpaid.*
People are all over you when you owe them money -but they’re not all over you when they owe you money.*
I’D LIKE TO SEE THAT CHANGE (PUN INTENDED 😉)
Instead of giving your old stuff away to the needy why don’t you give away some of your best? The measure of a gift (or charity) is how much it means to you -not how little!
When men cheat on their partners who do you think they’re cheating with???
God makes beautiful babies!
*It seems to me that people, in whatever they do-basically want to come out ahead. Break even at the very least! We just don’t seem to get that the formula is this: “To come out ahead spiritually, more often than not means coming out behind physically/materially. Many people in the world are of the attitude if I don’t look out for me who will. I worked hard for what I have -let others do the same! Some Christians are the worst -when it comes to this sort of attitude.
Some people don’t believe in helping those on the street and need. They make up all kinds of excuses for not giving them a penny. Told me many years ago that it doesn’t matter whether they are honest or dishonest -I still get the blessing for giving with a charitable heart!
I knew a lot of women that seemed to be operating from a double standard. My economics professor in honors class even stated one time…. The economics of a relationship between a man and a woman… I’ll spare you the details. He ended the lecture by stating “Personally, I’d like to think I gave as good as I got” (but alot of women don’t tend to see it that way).
I GUESS I GOTTA LOT ON MY MIND 🤷♂️

*Between the morning hours July 6th and August 9th 2021 as of 15:46 p.m. we have managed 487 blogs (as I’ve begun to pick up the pace, and get more of a feel… I’ve had to simply throw into a blog whatever comes to me in clusters because that in itself is pushing me to my limit) -essentially all from a memory badly inhibited by years of pot-smoking and atleast a couple of head-traumas. Some, a fair majority of them first came to me 20-25 years ago! I had lost, misplaced, failed to write down so many of them in the early going as I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on with the influx of awarenesses coming to me. Prrrrrretty cool ay 🙆♂️ I found them overwhelming for the longest time but, at the same time found their nature (the subject-matter) to be somewhat fascinating.**
**The hardest thing for a human being to come to terms with -perhaps the most difficult thing any human being will ever be challenged with is:
•Rocognizing the truth
•Then facing it
I have found these truisms to be quite challenging to my own humanness, as well as my Alcoholism! People in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings who would sigh and huff-and-puff at my sharing in meetings… I’d say “if your flustered listening to me, just think how my Alcoholic-brain feels” 💆♂️
Finally, with all this knowledge, and awareness, I’ve managed to apply very little, if any of it in my own life because they are of a level or standard that in many cases is well beyond my own comprehension (understanding on a level which moves one to act using that particular…), and well beyond, I hate to say this, but well beyond my own character 😒
