Some people don’t have the ability, or the willingness blindness to combat their negative thoughts, they’re negative inclinations.

Businesses are set up primarily as profit makers. In order for an individual to make a profit, someone else has to pay for…. Theft, insurance, damage, stupidity, neglect… I mean if somebody does not run their business responsibly responsibly, who’s gonna know that the consumer is paying for their mistakes? I saw some very disappointing practices from my cousin when he owned a business. He ran everything essentially, whether it was on the up-and-up or crossing the line. If I learned anything from this experience it’s that business owners have too much leeway. Too much say-so. Too much 🔋 power!

Playoffs for example, are set up to where they ultimately lead to a particular scenario or situation. A certain scenario is actually required at some point. In not all cases however is it reached. We call this a tie.

This week with Daisy has taught me something; She is completely reliant on me, and therefore gives me the majority of her attention. I wonder if something in this experience it tells me the reason the reason why my relationship with numerous women was anything but the is anything but this sort of experience. Not the reliant on me completely part, but the part about giving the majority of their attention to me as I did to them. I was not reliant on them materially in most cases, and yet emotionally I gave most of my attention to them. I can’t help but wonder if there isn’t a correlation with women, regarding the degree of reliance and the degree to which they are willing to give themselves emotionally. It’s sad if this is the case. I gave myself emotionally because I wanted something special – Perhaps you could say goes far as to say, something special I never had growing up. So what if that’s the case 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️ Absence makes the heart grow fonder – Apparently, some of these women I dated -didn’t have absence growing up. Yet if they did, they didn’t experience the same reaction to the loss or emptiness or void that I did!

Does money buy freedom or 🤔 put us into greater baondage. There’s the bondage of misery/fear and there’s the bondage of pleasure/guilt. Man often ends up under the vestiges of one or the other -do I have to tell you which one he chooses wilfully.

It is likely that in most if not all situations there is an option that will get us thru? True or not? Man often picks the wrong option. When he picks the right option -he fails to execute satisfactorily.

We see a person on the TV getting the shit kicked out of them -and we say to ourselves “if I were only there, I’d…”. But out on the street when we see somebody kicking the shit out of somebody it’s a different story. In some cases our balls shrivel up. In other cases, we don’t know if they’re getting what they deserve, or if they’re innocent? All that’s required for a person to refrain from risking their own welfare is a sliver of doubt.

The system we are supporting in this country is largely based upon superficiality -And I think you can begin to throw in artificiality as well

I think we’ve gotten to the place where having no real feelings in business is the norm -and I mean genuine feelings of compassion, or sympathy, or love. When we reach the point full-bore, where God’s ways are considered weird, crazy, silly…. 😔 WE’RE IN TROUBLE!

FATHER KNOWS BEST

God knows best -man only thinks He’s does!

EDITED/AMENDED 10/24/2021

It’s amazing what people can do when they have to -Which means they could probably do it also -if they wanted to.

The Dodgers for example, got beaten out of a 9th straight Western division title by the Giants. So the talk on commentary was that they were gonna come back with a vengeance after dispensing of the St. Louis Cardinals, in game one of the division series against the giants. They lost 4 to 0. So you gotta figure they’re gonna come back with what, even more of an vengeance in game 2? It makes me wonder 🤔 for millions of dollars a year, shouldn’t an individual be bringing it a 110% every time?

2 of the things people are perhaps most confused about are:

•What freedom is about;

•What leadership is about, authority for that matter.

Much of nature abort’s chaos and danger -they will avoid it at all costs. People, not so much.

If God loves the ones who are murderers and rapists -then how does he feel about the rest of humanity. Let’s put it this way, we who do not have much love in our hearts compared to God, we would take the whole lot of humanity who are the scourge, and lock them up or have them killed.

We look at all these things other people are doing [especially when we think it’s going to benefit ourselves] -but what about what God is doing? With God you don’t really need (much) money -without Him you best grab for all you can, YOU’RE GONNA NEED IT! IT’S YOU’RE CHOICE! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️

All this stuff we got going on in this country to fill our desire to be stimulated, feel important, have a sense of purpose [which is?]. For most of us, staying too busy is not in God’s plan -as apparent by what certain people choose to(o) busy themselves with! A life which “makes time for God”, prepares an adequate entry for God via Hope, Charity, and Love for others -that is 🤔 a most beneficial lifestyle!

When we are too busy, and too busy having fun, the thought of slowing down, the thought slowing down enough to think and do for others -tends to appear rather unappealing.

Longevity and relationships are like walking a tight rope. Some people are so good at it -they remain in a relationship infinitely, when they should have long since been out of it. Thank you Lord for answering my prayer-I thought about this this this morning when I was brushing my teeth, forgotten, asked God if it was his will to let it be written, and here we are 12 hours later 🙏🏻

Sidenote: Anytime you hit a ball in baseball you should be running full out. It’s a mistake how some of these players stare at the ball when it’s popped up when they should be running. All also in basketball there are errors. Also, for example in basketball, as a commentator once pointed out, it’s not the guy that throws the 1st punch that gets caught, it’s usually the one who retaliates that gits caught. I can’t remember the mistakes of basketball players make -maybe it will come to me.

Where I grew up, people were less inclined to be nosy -and knew how to say hello. Where I live today, people are more inclined to be nosy -and don’t know how to say hello

I may be going out on the limb here but what comes to mind is that progress indifference, and destruction are perhaps the chief characteristics of mankind throughout its history.

Sidenote: It’s a terrible thing when the people who used to think the world of you –no longer do! Maybe we ought to do something about that 🤷‍♂️🤷🏿‍♀️

God doesn’t seem to be inclined to enforce things like we do -Why is that:

•Man was granted the right of free will, and therefore God respects it;

•God doesn’t have to worry about being harmed or killed by man by man as we do;

•God has nothing to prove or to improve in Himself -we do! We failed in the beginning, and now it’s up to each of us to prove ourselves in the end;

•God is probably less interested in (many aspects of) our journey, and more interested in our final destination -as we ourselves should be;

•We are so preoccupied with externals, whereas God is more concerned about the internals.

To sum it all up:

•God is not us, and we are not God;

•Our position is quite different from God’s;

•God’s plan is very different from our plan.

Update:

•God is in no rush to punish us; that’s why He placed consequences, the law of cause-and-effect on this plane. You would rather we learn than be punished. Punishment is a last resort with God. As it would be with any good parent [how many of us parents fail in this regard, while also stereotyping God, our Heavenly Father, as a punishing God – “You spot it, you got it”]

•He always knows where to find us

“Lord, please remove this angst of mine towards those, and humanity as a whole, who have harmed or hurt me -in Christ Jesus name. Amen”

Money, and people are probably the 2 things that keep us separated from God most often -And so many of us wonder why God hasn’t answered our prayers with respect to these 2 areas 🤔

All one has to do is look at a new born baby -and you know there’s a God! And if it’s an unhealthy baby, understand 2 things:

1. You can’t blame God for everything;

2. God never does anything without a better reason for whatever it is He is doing ( But God doesn’t need to justify nor quantify his actions actions; although He does so quite often-out of love and understanding for his children) -have we ever seemingly wrong or tragic. We humans do things all the time for reasons which hardly justifies our choices, our actions.

“I had a dream”; A dream where I felt and the deepest inerds of my soul, how I hurt God, how we all hurt God -the feeling was this “There is no greater injustice in the universe”.

Sidenote: Sometimes even sound minded people find themselves incorrectly judging the soundest minded [decision-makers] of our kind 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷‍♂️

if a person is basically good, and you despise them -what does that say about you?

Are you a product of your culture (times)-or is your culture a product of you?
