When two people are in conflict, when you are in conflict with another, it is important to know where and when one [or the other] is right or wrong.

Some people don’t know how to give love; some people don’t know how to receive it.

We remove the fangs from a potential conflict conflict when we turn the lamp of judgment on ourselves and away from others. This goes for individually and this goes for internationally. Of course if winning is your game this is not the way to do it. Or should I say there’s 2 kinds of winning. What kind of winning are you gunning for?

Not only are there many men in the world doing wrong who have yet to be punished by GOD [IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM AND LOVE FOR THEM]; in many instances they continue to receive blessings and good tidings [hoping-against-hope…]. So much for the “punishing-God-theory”.

Man would do everything one way, making his presence quite evident -along with his foolishness, his ignorance, his lack of foresight, his selfishness, and in some instances his evil. Apparently GOD in HIS infinite wisdom, finds it necessary at times -to allow good people to suffer and bad people thrive; this apparently is true wisdom! Knowing precisely what, where, when, and with regard to whom. Something man clearly has no clue about consistently. You have to know where the holes are, where the dots are, and where and when to connect them. And of course where and when to connect the dots you still can’t see. 🤷‍♂️

THANK YOU LORD 🙏🏻

You have to prepare yourself for something in the best way to do so is to see it coming.

Life is a test. And like any test preparation is Paramount. Like for instance when I see something coming I can, I need, I need, to prepare myself to be more light hearted about it -because I know 🤔 my natural unprepared reaction will be seriousness and seriousness and defensivism.

If I can barely struggle to deal with the little things in life and what am I gon to do with the bigger things?. Of course there is the odd chap who comes along now-and-then who deals poorly with little things -and deals wonderfully with big things 🤔🤷‍♂️

There are people who care deeply about people, but they lack the power to make any significant difference. And then there are people who have never really given it much thought, mama nor have they given much thought to the fact that they’ve got tremendous power to help others. And then one day it dawn’s on them 🤔💡😁

Close your eyes, turn on your short-term memory, paint your back with Teflon, eat a Box of chocolates… Do whatever you have to do to put behind you the trials and tribulations then tribulations life throws at you and and move on to the next one.

Do you suppose people in this country enjoy spiritual endeavors as much as they appear to enjoy making money?

Everyone’s got their blindspots

No mam can recall everything necessary, in every single instance!

For example, you lower the standards of society and h*** you don’t even have to pay for 1st class actors and movies anymore. Everything is about making money and saving money so lowering the standards of society is a huge plum. 🤷‍♂️🤔

Don’t be like a fish going after something shiny on a hook. We as men have to have more depth than that.

We weather the storms of our relationships in hope for a brighter day. But if we bring our own storms into it… In response…🤷‍♂️

If you want people to take you seriously you ought not to be jumping around, jumping back-and-forth with your decision-making.

2 things that often arise out of human interactions:

1. One person leaves the impression of being superior leaving the other person feeling inferior. One person judges the other person as inferior in their interactions leaving the other person feeling inferior.

2. One person comes across as bothersome or annoying or inept to the other person. Gabe

The way we are gives us what we get*. Some people feel pretty lucky in that sense and some of us feel pretty unlucky in that sense. Some of us have to spend our lives unlearning and unbecoming. So we can get what we want; or need. Some of us have to walk towards GOD; and some of us choose to walk away from GOD in order to get those needs or wants. Some of us based upon our outward appearances are already a step ahead. Some of us based upon our appearances are already a step behind. Some of us are a stupid head based upon our appearance but because of what we are or what we have become inside, this becomes countered by something even more powerful -and visa-versa. Some of all have it all going in the wrong direction. Some of us have it all going in the right direction. Some of us are a plus plus, some of us are a minus minus, some of us are a plus minus, and some of us are a minus plus. I think that’s enough for now. 🤷‍♂️🤔

*Is there a difference between what we get based upon who we are and what we get based upon what we become from there?

One remedy [alternate approach to…] for social awkwardness -keep your mouth shut, observe. Even those who are not can benefit from this philosophy.

Whether you are aware of it or not, you probably expect, or at least hope that people will accept you just just as you are. Assuming you are aware of the fact that you have your faults just like anyone else. A word of wisdom -you might want to do the same and kind.

Mankind, more often than not -treats people inferior to how he would like to be treated. A DOUBLE-STANDARD. Bottom-line: It’s hard for many of us to hold ourselves to the same standard we wish to hold others to! But the world would be completely turned upside down if we could do so. And if we could even hold people to a lesser standard, and ourselves to a higher one, the world would be an even more peaceful place -if not better! 🤷‍♂️

It’s just as JESUS said, man uses the techniques of his father satan to gain advantage, to gain favor and to gain period. For example he uses women to lure and to entice and to seduce his fellow man. 🤷‍♂️ He uses things which are unhealthy, detrimental, in order to lift his fellow man’s money from his pockets; drugs, alcohol, food, and again women, always women.

No relationship is perfect, in fact many are far from perfect. No person is perfect -in fact many are far from perfect.

My grammy always used to tell me “GOD hates a complainer”.

I feel as if our country has put itself calm a place itself above the rest of the world. Determined its job is to police other countries. I did that for many years in my relationships. I’m learning now that I’m just an equal member in this world at best. It’s not my job to tell others what to do. It’s not my job to make others do anything. And with my history, I’m certainly no better; Perhaps a little wiser, but no better! Is it painful to coexist with others? Absolutely! Is it hard to keep my mouth shut and my opinions to myself? Absolutely! Is it hard not to react when I feel threatened, even disrespected?? Absolutely! But I realize now, some people manage! I’m not precisely sure how they do it or why -I only know that my ways, which are not there ways, have not worked for me! They still have their relationships and I’m all alone. Whether or not one [result] is better than the other is up for debate I suppose. Some people in relationships tell me i’m fortunate. Not knowing the intimate details of their relationships, or marriage, sometimes I feel there the fortune ones. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t see GOD jumping up, GOD flinchin’ every time somebody on this planet makes a wrong movie. You might argue he doesn’t have to worry about being hurt though. I don’t know common there’s a lot of people out there in the world that don’t flinch every time…. And I want to be one of those people. I don’t wanna act scared, or hurt, or insulted, or victimized every time somebody makes a move, does something stupid – I’ve been there, I done that…! If you look closely at human behavior, you can always find something to complain about -that’s just my personal experience. Whether or not there are valid reasons is subjective I suppose to some degree. For the longest time I’ve ever been to live and let live kind of guy -so there you have -BOTH SIDES O’ THE 🪙 🤷‍♂️ I guess what I’m trying to say is that whether we’re talking about our own personal relationships or relationships on the International scale, you should always look to avoid creating problems, and when problems arise, we should always look for resolutions and not to inflame them -always! ALWAYS! But man has always been a warring creature. His approach to life is often a compromised, watered-down version of GOD’S teachings @ best!

While there may be a difference between running a red light and stabbing somebody, nonetheless, in both cases the individual is to be considered a law-breaker. GOD speaks very firmly about keeping HIS commandments. Is it OK with you to be a law-breaker as long as it’s this or that and not this or that? If you look at people’s behavior out in the world that seems to be the case. It’s OK for me to break this law as long as I don’t break that lawIt’s OK for me to break this law as long as I don’t break that law. MAN!

CHOOSE YOUR DISAPPOINTMENTS CAREFULLY.

I wonder if by GOD’S WILL we are only allotted so many…

Far too many people take solace in how others have treated them rather than how they have treated others. If you do someone ride and they do you wrong which do you tend to focus on?

I think parenthood in part is an essential part of the human developmental cycle, which assists human beings in transitioning away from the self-centered childhood we ourselves go through, into a new cycle that parenting brings about whereby the individual learns other-centeredness. Learn how to place greater emphasis on giving and lesser emphasis on receiving. Those of us who are not able to experience parenting never quite get away from that self centeredness otherwise! Put another way, without this crucial experience it’s very difficult to learn selflessness! Especially if it is not ingrained and you pain the new during your developmental years through your parents.

In my humble experience it doesn’t take a whole lot to get the world working against you. All you gotta be is just a hair different in the wrong sorta way. Have a little bit of an attitude or a chip on your shoulder. Lack of basic understanding of the way mankind operates. Or just be around difficult or selfish people in general. 🤷‍♂️

Everyone has worth to God but not every one has worth to man! Everyone has worth in God’s eyes -but not everyone has worth in man’s. Even decent people back in the day, were survival with king; a man, a woman, a child were worth what they had to contribute, if they had nothing, if they were of no use, they were worth nothing. Sad but true 🤷‍♂️😏😔

I don’t feel so good about my social awkwardness; But God has assured me that my friendly my friendly manners which hold told no pretense and may be [perceived as] overdone, are one of my best qualities.

People who are prepared to deal with life find it a struggle, overwhelming, at times a challenge beyond their own abilities. Now sending the human being out into the world who is ill prepared to deal with life seems almost criminal to me. And there seems to be a lot of that going on in the world, in this world anyways. Do you have any idea what is required to prepare a human being to be able to go out and live in the world and deal with it? But it’s not making breakfast for them in the morning and tucking them in at night and reading them a bedtime story. It’s a h*** of a lot more than that. It’s a crime in this country not being able to properly rear a child or spend the time with him that’s required. satan must be laughing his a** off about that 1.

Think about it, if you begin to become lax or irresponsible with regard to certain services [as a company] and still not be significantly affected financially [the money, the sales, the services you offer] with regard to your business; and the public you serve, then why not let it go? Companies always perk up and notice things when their sales take a dive. But apparently in modern day America people either don’t care about the services that are slipping away or they are not aware not aware that they are being given substandard service. Because if there’s one thing we know in life that’s true it’s that a business cannot survive without customers. So again it’s the fault of the consumers in the United States who keep doing business with companies who are offering sub par service. And of course the few of us that do care about these things have to suffer because refusing to do business with these companies here and there is not enough to make these people wake the h*** up. You people out there who don’t give a d*** about anything except for yourselves and getting what you want -you people are ruining this country. Because you haven’t got the decency or the unity to say enough is enough! You know how many times I’ve sat on the phone telling people their service sucks -and they just laughed me off???
