instead of what?



Oh, I'm sorry.....

Justifying hate, negativity, buzz killing, hypocrisy, etc.....

Ya know, its not that difficult to realize when you hate, for whatever reason, you become hate, yourself.....
The very thing you hate, about others.

I always liked this one, explains a lot about the nature of people.

Sipping the poison, yourself, expecting the other person to die from it, is just plain crazy  Grin

Its funny, at work, very diverse, all kinds of races, cultures, beliefs, no one talks like folks who visit news, and political message boards.
Folks care, sure, but not consumed, or obsessed with it.

Fact is, folks who are, seem to be very depressed and lonely.
People just give them a customary nod, smile, and the person will just walk away thinking the world has gone nuts.

Sorta like the two old guys, sitting at the bar during the day, muttering and complaining into each others beer.....

That ain't life in my book.

You live it, as it comes at you, joy and happiness is a choice of having the right outlook, attitude.
Adversity offers challenge, and opportunity to overcome, reaping the benefits of self worth, and many friendships, in the process.....

Boy, I bet you are sorry you asked  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Have a good day Lost  Smiley  



no, I'm glad I asked and that's an awesome response, people do get too caught up in things sometimes, it can be anything though not just politics, but with politics, no matter how much you know or think you know, you are powerless to change anything... so that leads to an aspect of despair


Yes buddy......

And I THANK YOU for returning back to this forum, and sharing why you left, etc.

It got me to pause and consider how I, myself, was falling into the same mindset.
Returning to a dry well, for a drink, and then getting bugged, because it was still DRY  Grin

It seems silly, but in fact, it was infringing on my buzz.
My funk, was self imposed, DANG!

I will look in, as I care about you guys, I really do.....
I just won't add much to your debates.

If I see a topic/post, that looks sincere, and I have any input that I feel might be worthy, I will share that, but this other activity is not going to help me focus on what I can do, to help and encourage others, and myself, daily, in real life......

Here, this just came to mind, a song by Huey Lewis.

It explains so much of my quest in life, looking for something else, outside myself, to find a feeling, about myself, inside myself ( what did I just say ???  Grin )

BTW, I believe I know what this drug is......
Its always been free, as it will always be.
You just have to give it, and it comes back unto thee  Wink

LOVE BABY, Love of others, and love of self.
Give and accept, freely, no strings attached!

The song:

"I Want A New Drug"

Yeah-eah!

I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

I want a new drug
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you

I want a new drug
One that won't spill
One that don't cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new drug
One that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you, baby

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good

I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you

"Wouldn't it solve everything?"

 No.

 Its an ideal but we can not live by it, or we would.  The content in the posts prior to this one proves that even in basic typed communication we have trouble.

 Its a solid idea but people do not abide by it - so no it won't solve everything, no matter where the language comes from.

The much discredited Dept of Justice has , yesterday I believe, announced it was going to go after "eldercrime".  One of the most common is preying on  the older citizens desire for "love." Con men find lonely widows and widowers and suck their money right out.
So while idealistically "All We Need Is Love " sounds right, the Beatles answered it "Money" suggesting they already recognized we need more than love.
And of course, a staple of rock music was the love triangle and all the pain it produced.  
As we all know, the Founding Fathers did not want government sanctioned "State Religion" as they had seen the constant wars it produced in Europe.  
Thankfully, we now can fly anywhere to stay engaged in or start wars and no longer have to wait until one bubbles up here in the US. Wink

True enough, but they did not sanction laws against its free expression either, as they often offered prayers.

This rigidness of the gun advocates, and anti-religious advocates, seem to be very disruptive to any peaceful solutions, as in THEIR beliefs, they demand, are right.
