YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS…

A lot of people care (family) when the shit hits the fan; Otherwise, you never hear from them right? So how much do they really care? How much do they really like you? I got a whole slew of family… most of which probably wouldn’t be there when the shit hits my fan… and a whole lot I never hear from. That’s just the way it goes for some people I guess.

WHAT IS LOVE

If you don’t love all peoples, then the ones who claim to love you don’t really love areally love it all. The ones you say you love, whatever it is you’re practicing -it surely isn’t love.

Until we on this planet learn to love other people’s children the same as our own….. We will continue to experience the problems we experience.

What is the limit to the number of people anyone person can love? The same limit is the number one can hate? The more people anyone individual can love the stronger the bonds of humanity will become overall. The less people anyone individual can love the weaker the bonds of humanity will become overall.

I used to think there was only one kind of love that had many tentacles or facets surrounding it. But Jesus corrected me. He says there are different kinds of love. 🤷‍♂️

WHEN THE PREY BECOMES THE PREDATOR

One of the biggest problems in this world of ours is that it is filled with people who don’t know the difference between right and wrong; who thinks two wrongs make a right; or who think wrong wrongs are justified and therefore are not wrong but right -the last 2 may be one in the same, who knows 🤷‍♂️

In any event there’s far too many of these people running around on this planet -causing mayhem!

Most people think of themselves as victims before they retaliate -but once you retaliate you’re no longer the victim you’re the perpetrator.

Would you kill someone who killed your dog or kill someone to protect your dog? If the answer is yes that’s the wrong answer.

I read an article 35 years ago that was in the back of the seat in a plane I was riding in on leave from bootcamp. Time Magazine or one of those blah blah blah… It said, it’s said on the cover, 3 out of 4 Americans would kill for a substantial amount of money if they thought they could get away with it.

Humans are these vessels that you can put various chemicals into and get various reactions out of. In addition, you can put other chemicals into them and have many different effects, observable effects… changes take place!

Respect for others has nothing to do with earned or deserved… if that were the case.. allot of people who are respected would no longer be respected and a lot of people who are not respected would suddenly be respected.

If I could tie all of these writings together and apply them why them I could probably run for president of the United States. But it’s too much power and God has relegated me to simply being the stenographer in all this – Which is fine by me I don’t really want to run anything anyways.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE 🌍

Everybody wants to be in charge. The boss pays me hes in charge. I pay the landlord hes in charge. Everybody who owns the business is the one that’s in charge. What about the one’s paying the money – they were the ones that used to be in charge!

When you go to a business for a service or a product what is the understanding? First of all, we pay them and then trust them that we’re going to get the service or product we paid for. But they don’t trust us -why? Second of all, things seem to be on their terms rather than our own -why?

Why do businesses get so many kickbacks from the government – what do we consumers get? The middle class consumer is the backbone of this economy and what do we usually get?

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY 😔

I’m as tired of women being cautious of me as a man -as women are of being hit on by men. I’m flat out sick of it! I remember about 20 years ago walking through the parking lot across from the University and as I approached this car this woman hit the locks on her door. Aside from being insulted I thought 🤔 “this woman has no judge of character”. How many people do we miss judge simply because we miss judge their character? How many of us are so concerned with our own welfare that it really doesn’t even matter?

Try to get up your wind as quick as you can and then quit.. Take a break until you feel you can go again… Repeat… Pound into your body that growth of the heart and cardiovascular system.

On the days when you don’t feel like going to the gym tell yourself “you’re gonna stick around for about 10 minutes… And go as light as you can.” Tell yourself we’re gonna sit down and have a smoothie…. Once you get there… A lot of times where we fail is “to start”.

If it appears at times that I am hard on women… I’m a man attracted to women who finds a lot of women in our society who appear have issues with men. I wouldn’t presume to know what it’s like to be a woman dealing with men. So please show me the same sensibility -and don’t presume to know what it’s like to be a man dealing with women. You may find this very hard to believe but most women treat women differently from men -and visa versa. You may also find this hard to believe but I’d like to think that I treat men and women and women more or less the same. As a matter of fact, I think a lot of women take issue with me treating them as human beings rather than as women.

MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS

“Money can’t buy you happiness, but it’ll buy you the kind of misery you prefer.” -My Uncle Richard [19923ish].

All the ocean front property of the world they want to turn into a millionaire’s paradise -and anything else they can sell for millions.

You know that old saying money can’t buy you happiness? It seems a lot of people in modern day America haven’t gotten that memo. Either that, or whatever money is buying they’ll take it in its place. People are scavenging anywhere they can for ways to make money. It’s often it’s obvious this attitude was not pervasive some some decades ago because there was so much scattered around that could have turned into money and people didn’t want to bother with it. They were more interested in earning a modest living, living life, spending time with her families.
