  • it doesn’t matter – nobody cares about that – the tangled web

    it doesn’t matter – nobody cares about that – the tangled web

    “It doesn’t matter – nobody cares about that…”  Gosh what words. Oh the tangled web we weave… Apathy, one of the world’s most dangerous emotions…

    Here lately, it seems that what we have here is a failure to communicate.  I think that I am saying one thing but the receiver comes out with a response that indicates that what I said doesn’t seem to come through as what I said.  Uh-oh.  This worries me.  Saddens me actually, because when you read the news, the whole world seems to be flying out of control at its center.  The gravity seems to not be working so well anymore.

    I wonder…should I rapidly ditch all the people who purport ridiculous things – the haters out there – and yet… what they do, and how they act, make me feel hateful at times.  Ah.  This is it.  This is where I have to stop myself in my tracks and correct the course of my own behavior.

    Yup.  And this, my friends, is not taught to the wee ones much anymore.  The trend is to let people – even encourage people – to say what is on their minds to anyone, and if they don’t listen, well then, it’s okay to threaten, and hey, in their minds, it’s seeming okay to get a gun that will mow down as many people in as short a period of time as possible.  Where has the lesson on keeping yourself in check gone?  Who ripped that chapter out of the books?

    I know anger.  I know rage.  I understand how it feels.  But, I feel regretful for those times that I did act out – and my acting out pales by comparison to the acts of those who, here lately, have been engaged in some major acting out – this is world class disaster category acting out.  And it gives a bad name to a religion that really isn’t for that, any more than any other major world class religion.

    To me, it’s bad behavior, bad manners, and a lack of self-control –  this is because someone did not teach their kids how to manage anger properly.  If someone is raised by an angry person or angry people, then they will consider this to be normal.  This is a problem.  Are we becoming an endangered species?  There was that post last year…

    Anger moves to rage, and that rage is what makes people do unspeakable things.  I think that we need to think about it in these terms, because truly, all this blaming, doesn’t really give anyone a solution – and violence is not a part of the solution – it just creates more rage.

    Encourage others to take personal responsibility for their feelings – by taking personal responsibility of your feelings and don’t stuff them until they burn – calmly consider what they mean, and try to process them without killing people.  Please.  Take a deep breath…

  • what everybody needs – anger management

    what everybody needs – anger management

    A world gone mad – why?  Because there are a high number of angry people in the world who for one reason or the other have forgotten (if they ever knew) how to behave and how to control their anger.  I understand anger.  It isn’t as if I am saying “don’t be angry”.  It really is about getting the anger under control before it spills out and hurts people.  It is about taking personal responsibility for your shit, and not acting out at people just because you don’t like something.  You should have learned this as a child, but you didn’t or else you forgot.

    The headlines – mass shootings – domestic violence – Donald Trump’s popularity – all of these support the notion that anger management is needed.  Perhaps a spray in the air?  “Anger-Begone”.  Perhaps you have to attend anger management class before you get your drivers’ license or your next renewal – your passport – your insurance might require it – I mean, how many ways could we make certain that people have skills to control their anger?  There are lots of ways.  Classes in school – elementary through graduation – classes in college – why not?  Nothing else is working.  It shouldn’t interfere with everyone’s rights or freedom.  Who could argue that this would be at least something towards a solution for “the world gone mad” problem that we seem to have.

    If most people knew how to control their anger, and appropriately deal with it vs. shooting people or blowing stuff up, then it could solve a lot of problems in the world and the money being spent on that stuff could be used for something else.  Imagine.

    But this idea might get push-back from someone like Trump, whose whole platform is built around “anger” and using extreme solutions to solve anything or everything that sound like a six year old playing with blocks or locking the door of his room.  All those “angry people” are going to elect him to be King (uh, I mean POTUS, not KING) – King would be like Elvis, and he is not really here anymore, except the look-alike Elvis impersonators in Vegas… which is about the level of “universe” that planet Donald resides within.

    It’s pretty crazy around here – it’s a mad mad mad world….

  • The emergence of patterns and when will we ever learn?

    The emergence of patterns and when will we ever learn?

    Here lately, the humans on this planet are really showing their bad side.  Like bored kids with big IQ’s, they are up to mischief that in their dreams will enable them to reach some sort of world domination type role – and it is beginning to look like a video game turned real-life.  I will say that it is starting to really fence me in, as we say here in The West, as in “Don’t Fence Me In”.  I don’t like this at all.  I don’t like the implications.

    This is a very badly written video game…

    Let’s look at this in very abstract terms:

    1. These people have an “evil plan” (judging from the outside).  So, what’s new?  Let’s look at ancient literature.  This “war” has been going on for centuries – one could say, “since the dawn of mankind”, and they wouldn’t be wrong.  At least, anecdotally, and in the historical record, there is good evidence to point to the fact that “tribes” or “clans” of humans go to war (e.g., throw stuff at each other, shoot things at each other, set things on fire, blow things up with: projectiles, things that go boom, things that zap, things that just basically do damage to whatever/whomever it with which it makes contact.  You might even consider that stuff laced with poison of some sort, or disease spores, or whatnot is considered yet another form of waging war human vs. human).
    2. The plan is to reach some sort of “goal” at which time “YOU WIN”, and the other guy loses.  The winner becomes “Master of the Universe”.  Yeah.  Just like in the cartoons. 
    3. The declared winners are also “master blasters”.  They are “destructo-man”.  Maybe they destroy the other guy entirely, and everything around him that they possibly can.  Maybe they destroy everything attached to the other guy:  where he lives and works, his family, his stuff,  and everything around him.  Maybe they are  indiscriminate destroyers.  They just blow stuff up and kill people to make a point.  Yeah.  That’s what kind of humans that they are. 
    4. Maybe it’s that they “enslave the losers and their families, and friends, and everyone around them that supposedly believe like they believe.  They then make “them” subscribe to their beliefs, “or else”.  The “or else” could be anything bad. 
    5. The “winner” might even declare to the world how serious they are about their mission, by chopping off body parts, or killing some of these humans, and video recording this – and putting this on YouTube, so that everyone with a mobile or desktop computer can see this.   This is called “claiming responsibility”.  It’s all the rage in the “best practices of world domination”.   At any rate, they are making certain that everyone knows — because “it’s all about THEM”, right?  If it was really religious, it would be about the religion, but the authorities of the religion say that in its philosophy, this is not a part of the true religion, so that means that these “winners” are being labeled as “extremists” or “radicalized” – and that puts them in the “bad boy box”. ) This is part of that psyche of “Being the “master of the universe”.  Yeah.  Movies are made about this kind of stuff.  These humans just bring it into “real life”.
    6. The point of what they are doing is trying to get the whole world to freak out.  They enjoy this.  It’s part of the “thrill of it all”, the “self-endorsement”, the notion that “you are doing something important”.   Congratulations.  They are now official bad-guys – part of the “bad guy affiliate network”, fully indoctrinated into the “bad guy hall of fame”.  This makes them even angrier, no doubt, so that the energy derived from this anger spurs them on.  It’s that “ah-ha!  See!  Everyone is my enemy!”  To them, this makes it OK in the mindset of rationalization, to continue on the destructive path… The road to nowhere.
    7. What ends up happening is not that they are celebrated, but that they are hunted down.  Maybe they like this part, too.  Maybe it is all a part of the “thrill” of the chase, playing this game that they may have thought up, because they were bored, or somebody made them feel badly, or any number of reasons for feeling disenfranchised –  and because maybe their IQs are so high, they used their gifts for this kind of “game”.  Or maybe, as they claim, “this kind of religious belief”.  Driven by God?  What God?  What mandate?  This is that which most of the rest of the world cannot understand.  It is bent on destruction — of the world as we know it, and it is happening bit by bit, incident by incident. 
    8. It doesn’t end well for “winner or loser”.  Bottom line, it’s a wasteland – of lives, of resources, of energy.  The anger is fed, and the anger grows.

    This is a very sad state of affairs.  This game is not a game.  It is very real.  It is like a cancer, with a treatment that is ineffective.  The side-effects are bad.  The resulting anger on all sides, contributes to the inevitable destruction of the host — planet earth.

    It is a part of an illness of our human race.  It is not going to end well.  The seriousness of concurrent events appears to be driving us to some sort of brink.

    Are we living out the predictions of many prophets and scholars who have forecast that this type of situation would occur?

    Who knows the answers… time will tell.  But heavy praying and making small changes every day in how we live might help – and it doesn’t matter who you pray TO, so long as it is praying for the peace of the world.  It’s coming on that time of year – primavera, Easter, Passover, and all the other renewal holidays and celebrations of new life.

    The mourning dove is cooing outside my window…
