INTO THE ABYSS 181 b

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 181 b I write, people take my writings personally and get upset, it is easy to get upset when you realize that there are points of view that are probably more valid than the one that you hold. We love our country, we love our freedoms, we love our #Constitution, do we now? It really doesn't matter, whether you are black, white, or other, conservative or liberal, gay, straight, not sure or it is complicated, Democrat or a Republican, BLM, ANTIFA, KKK or just a run of the mill NAZI, (there is no such thing as a NeoNazi) sorry! I had asked for l to look in the mirror and to look at yourselves, first. I am not religious or pious, and if you believe in the #Christian theology the Bible asks us to examine ourselves, (someone already took an exception), 1 Corinthians 11:27-31 King Version 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But let's not go there, shall we. Then the question we must ask ourselves is , what freedoms I love but do not wish that the others may also have? What is it about the #Constitution that I like but wish that it did not apply to others. Our politicians know this, they fool us by promising that if we vote for them they will deny those freedoms and right to those "others", and we elect them, they never promise to make thing better for us, just that they will.make things harder for those "others".

INTO THE ABYSS 181 a

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 181 a DARKER As I sit down to write this, it is still (technically) the 30th of May 2022, no matter when I finish or when I post this. I have talked about "time" many a time, how it is spent, how do we use it, what to make of it, what "size" it is, is it real or imaginary? We will get back to it. We will also get back to "GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM" and discuss guns some more. It is still the 30th of May 2022, last night I went to bed, I was 69 years old, (technically) I woke up this morning and I was 70, yes Memorial day is also my birthday, when the day falls on the 30 of May, BTW 30th May was originally called the Decoration Day, the day to decorate the graves of the the soldiers of the Civil War, it remained the 30th of until 1971, when the last Monday in May became the "holiday". Never mind. In 2003, I noticed that we are on a path to destroy humanity, really it was many years before that even. In 1999 I had started writing some poetry, it mostly became a critique of society, of humanity, I published a book with some 80 plus poems, then I stopped the publisher from selling the book, it is still listed on Amazon, but you can't buy it. We have lost our way, we don't know what we want, oh yes we know what we want but we don't know how to get it. But you can't cross the river with one foot still planted on the shore. We want the society to be moral, as long as we don't have to be moral, we elect politicians that don't deliver but we keep reelecting them, we want our politicians to be honest, but just corrupt enough for use to be able to bribe them. We want them to be just take bribes from us, not from those that have more money than we do. We want to be able to cheat in our dealings and our relationships, but we want the other party to be honest and faithful. We want to able to lie but not be lied to. We want to be able to do whatever we want, so long as others meet our "standards ". We are doomed, everyone knows our game, because everyone else is also playing the same game. And so it goes.

GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM c

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM c GUN COTROL IS NOT THE SOLUTION I always default to one thing, look at myself first, what is wrong with the world probably starts with me. Who am I? What is my role, what am I doing to make things better? What if you didn't know yourself, didn't know who you are, and you met yourself on the street, what would you like about you? Would you like you? It is complicated, isn't it? Ask yourself. Two things again, I am fond of saying, every coin has a flip side, every point has a counter point, but we are always right, doesn't matter, gay, straight, liberal, conservative, capitalist, socialist, whatever, doesn’t matter, we are perfect, we are right, in the absolute. No need for anyone to change their opinion, and the phenomenon is not just "American exceptionalism" the illness today is world wide, only difference here is that we more guns, and guns make you stong, and a gun gives you more rights, whether it is Mexico, Swetto or Karachi or Manilla. Of course I own guns, rifles, pistols and shotguns, I own ammo for each, I know that most all of my friends own. I am retired military, but I owned guns even before, I started carrying when I was just 13 and lived in a remote part of a "3rd country", so I am used to having weapons and know how and especially when to use them. But again, does everyone? Of course guns are not a problem, guns do not kill. But if we are to be honest why do we own guns, yes we buy them to defend our homes against invasion and to protect our loved ones, and to overthrow our government when that time comes, in the meantime we can walk around looking like a man and impress others. We look for simple answers to real world complex problems, we must be simple minded also, and the politicians that offer simple answers are actually conmen trying to win you over, they are grooming us, and we are willing. We have been convinced that everyone has the right to own a gun, and as a result we don't allow our children to ride bicycles, play in the park unsupervised, we have made our houses into prisons, our communities are gated, our schools are virtual prisons still people are killed sitting in there own homes, oh yes, but those are the problems of those "others", well come to my small community and there are no "other people" here but still, a lot of drugs, meth, oxycontin, and petty thieves, the problem is the same, regardless. I am not for banning guns, not for licensing, not for confiscation, no one really is, in America it is , it will be impossible, but there are politicians that jump up and say that someone is talking about confiscation, that is not a fact, don't let them make a fool of you.

GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM b

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM b GUN CONTROL IS NOT THE SOLUTION Time moves fast, and as a one that has so much in his plate, on his mind, it is difficult to keep up. But there are so many that are way smarter and knowledgeable. Most of us have an opinion, among other things, most all of us do, so it is said, and being that we live in a "democracy" we apparantly also believe that all opinions are equal. Then this happened, really, on Foxnews Jesse Waters had a perfect idea, we need more school therapists, he did, problem solved! See now, how easy it was, why did I never think of it, we need to provide more therapists after every massacre. No we don't always think smart, and not all opinions are worthy or correct. We claim to be a #Christian people and we don't always follow his words, we always find exceptions, may be the guy was really not as smart, right! (I am being sarcastic here, please). More on this later. We live in a culture (the world over), where everyone is right, no exceptions, a couple of days earlier I had posted something under the title " How Americans are Played" read it if you wish, if you think we are an exception to anything we are only fooling ourselves. Yes we have more weapons than all the rest of the world put together, yes we can take over the world and we plan to, at the sametime the people that want us to take over the world are also against the "New World Order", ironic isn't it? Also we are exceptional, but look at the gun culture in Mexico, in the Philippines, in Afghanistan and in Pakistan, really we are not so different, we are not! We don't want to go around killing others willy-nilly, yet we also want to literally kill anyone we don't like, liberals, gays, conservatives, minorities, prolife, proabortionists, and people that mess up our order at the drive-thru and cashiers that are rude. Be honest please. Have you heard that 1974 song of Mac Davis, "or lord its hard to be humble", you should, Google it, it clearly talks about us today, like it is said, if everyone is is right, then no one is. It is not longer just the "American exceptionalism", we are all exceptional now, like I was saying earlier, we are all special, rules don't apply to us, we can always have it our way, and we don't then screw everything and everybody. If you disagree, please comment, then also see how, if, this writing is talking about you. I WILL WRITE MORE. M. N.

GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM a

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM a GUN COTROL IS NOT THE SOLUTION I don't even know where to start with this, and where the pen (well the keyboard on my phone) will take me, but I am willing to try. For long I have spent time in "self reflection", what make me "I", to understand my "lowest desires", to understand the world and makes us keep going off the tracks. Tens of thousands of years of progress and evolution, of philosophers and prophets and seers, yet here we are, reduced to hand wringing, and hopes and wishes and thoughts and prayers, of asking for some laws to be changed, for guns to be "controlled", for whatever makes you happy. The job of a prophet or philosopher is not to solve your problems, the job is to make you pay attention to yourself, your actions and to the world around you and "think". But here's the rub, can we think, and how? And what can we think. The problem is made clear by the saying, "to think outside the box", our thinking is always limited by what we "know", and most people don't know a whole lot, no matter their level of education and even how much money they have made. Yes, some self reflection here, please. I posting this to get you started, I will add to it over the next few posts, if you can, think where I may be going with this, and what you think. M. N.

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED f

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED f We all are proud to be politically involved, we all know the issues, we all know how the country's problems can all be solved, we have a representative government, we elect those that practically run our lives and we hold them responsible. Okay, wake up now. We do not have a representative government, the people we elect do not solve any problems, we are just happy that they all blame all the problems on the otherside. If we only knew, if we only cared. In a country where "money" is free speech, and money is what elects the government, and money is what it takes to make money, you and I don't have a voice , you and I don't have a chance. We are just happy to blame the "others", just like the "real Housewives of whatever the crap". Everything is someone else's fault. We have no clue. Everyone in the US is a constitutional expert, except we have no idea what is says, especially the lawyers that we elect to represent us, and more especially (specifically) the justices that are appointed to our courts. May be you are also one of these experts. Read the "preamble to the constitution", what does it say, read it "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Does it mean anything to you, what does it say? What is this thing about "establish justice" what does it even mean? What do you think? Establish justice is of course about having a fair and equitable justice system where "everyone is equal under the law", it is not just about black or white, a cop or a thug, poor or rich, but even there where is the equity? You really believe that we have a working justice system where one can actually trust the system, honestly. Do you even favor a real equitable justice system, do our representatives at any level, from a city council to the congress itself support real justice. It is an honest question. Then ask yourself how can we have tranquility when the system is not fair. This is just to get you thinking, I will write more soon. M. N. R. 23 MAY 2022

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED e

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED e So you believe that two parties are different, that one party is working more for the average American than the other, that "YOUR" party is more about personal freedom, for the #Constitution or whatever other garbage. In fact, neither party works for the average/working/ middle class/ poor American and you can take that the bank as they are taking you to the cleaners. Name one thing that either party has done that does not help the big money, the corporate interests and the bankers. Either way. If you think that the #Republican policies only help the rich then consider this, whatever the #Democrat policies be they also put government money, and "your l" money in the pockets of the rich. Somehow every policy that is designed to "help" the poor or the "average citizen" can somehow be perverted and is perverted to help the rich become richer. Be it #foodstamps, #rentalsubsidies, #tuitionassistance (Pell grants) #studentloans, or #healthcare everything the government does to help the #needy actually hurts the public and enriches the already rich. And it also increases the costs to the public while increasing the "budget deficits" , of course the #Republicans go along and allow all of it to go on. These items also hurt the poor, they increase dependence and cause apathy so that instead of protesting for jobs, for better pay, and better opportunities the public starts to believe that someone is actually doing something to help.

INTO THE ABYSS 180 d

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 180 d I don't usually write on Friday nights, my days are busier on Saturdays. But I also had a hectic Thursday and didn't get to write, though I had planned to. Maybe I will be able to keep this one short, maybe. There are a few things to consider here, something for you to think about till we talk next. I had been talking about a couple of things, you can scroll down and read, maybe I will place the links in the comments so you can read. But a point tonight, we say that we are not easily persuaded, are we sure? The fact is that we are, most of the time it is not that we like what the "person" says, the fact is that the person "says" what he knows that we want to hear. Really. David Koresh, Jim Jones, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson they all told their people what those people wanted to hear. And once the people were hooked they all did with them what they wanted to. Humans are not much better than animals in this. We use cheese to lure a rat into the cage, we use corn as bait for the deer. The difference is that the rat or the deer "cannot know better", we claim to be intelligent humans, we can, we are obligated to learn better. The "parable" of Moloch warns us, we must also pay attention to the future also and not sacrifice our futures and the future of our children and grandchildren for gain in the present.

INTO THE ABYSS 180 c

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 180 c I am not a very smart person and I don't know everything, and if you tell me that you are smarter, or that you do know everything, I will agree, and will simply listen, maybe I will learn something. One thing I know, I learn something new everyday, and I change my views, I change my opinions, my feelings are the Gospels. We are humans, we all make mistakes, we misunderstand things, we even make up things to support our views. We were talking about the Ship of Thesues , if you didn't read that I hope that you will scroll down and read the first and second parts of this "article" , "INTO THE ABYSS 180". If I were to say that I am a moral person, (I am not, I don't claim to be a moral or a religious person). I am sure you have a list of certain traits that you will judge me aginst. What do you expect a "moral", "righteous" person to be like? May be you expect them to be fair, honest, truthful, trustworthy, uncorruptible, someone who will not take bribes, someone who will not do favors for money, or quid pro quo. May be you think they should not be a substance abuser, a child abuser or a spouse abuser, nor a philanderer. The list could go on still. Let's go back to the Ship of Thesues, how many of these traits in your list are you willing to say that a person could be without and still be a "good person". Do the people you elect or make deals with have all or even most of the traits that make one a good person or you default to a person that you can use (even for a good price). I am not a fan of any politician, but there is something we should have learned from Trump, when he said how all those politicians came to him, begging for money, and that he gave money to both the Democrats and the Republicans. We have a government of the people that are corrupt to the core, our judges at all level, to include the Supreme Court are corrupt, once we see that, once we admit that it is a single fruit but the whole basket ( at all levels) is rotten, only then and after we fix ourselves and our expectations we can change the system. We can not corrupt our officials for our personal gains when it is convenient and then expect them to ve honest when we are losing the game. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 19 MAY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 180 b

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 180 b So I started writing this series last night, talking about the Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Plutarch's Ship of Thesues and of course the Biblical parable of "Moloch". Don't be upset, I don't mean to demean the #Scriptures, but the Bible itself admits that there are some parables, and as I quoted from Matthew 13 itself, the statement on parables, if you did not read that piece, please do scroll down and read it first. We live in a very modern world, we are really really smart, we "are for real" all the time. The problem is that we don't know what is "real", we knowingly accept "fake" for real and insist that we are "right", when I was a teenager, my father used to watch professional wrestling, he and I would argue, I said it was fake and he insisted that it was real, today, everyone "knows" that is fake, and accepts it as real. Why not, we have been programmed so, we watch "reality shows" don't we. Worse, we are stepping into the world of "virtual reality" and ready to dive right in, people are making avatars, even marrying them, you know where I am going with this. I personally don't believe in "reality", but there are things that do matter, and the future of humanity may depend on it. The story of the "Ship of Thesues" , if you are not familiar, states that Thesues had a ship made of wood, over time as parts of the ships would rot, they would be replaced by new parts, to the point that in the end every single part had been replaced, the question is, is it still the "Ship of Thesues" and at what time it stops being the Ship of Thesues ? We have a free country, we have laws, we have a #Constitution, we have a democracy where everyone is equal, we have rule of law, the laws apply to everyone equally, so we say, but is it true? Is this the reality? I would argue that No, none of it is true, part by part, plank by plank, the democracy has been dismantled, the #Constitution has been subverted, laws have been rewritten, laws have been changed to where we are not equal, the laws don't apply equally, and the average person has no protection from abuse. We pay good money for our imitation carb meat. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 18 MAY 2022

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 180 a Who are we and what are we here for? The question has been asked for eons and there have been a million answers, some similar to many others, and the others somewhere way out there, depends upon your own personal preferences and prospective. So then. I like to learn, I like to ponder the imponderables. I am weird like that. I also like to connect that dots, how things relate one to another and the try to predict the outcomes, I fail sometimes, sometimes I fail more than other times. There are certain philosophical ideas, I like the example of the Ship of Thesues, I like the Allegory of the Cave, I like the parable of Moloch in the Scriptures, And they all relate to the world that we live in, as if the world that we live in actually could be "real", we like to think that it is real, but the philosophers have said for millinnea that it may not be, and recently the scientists have also postulated that we may be living in a computer program, an "artificial reality", a simulation. What does it even matter? I am not religious, I don't follow a dogma, though I do follow certain "codes of ethics" in my personal life I wouldn't call it a religion. To claim that one follows a certain religion imposes and heavy burden, one most follow the dogma to the letter or one is just a pretender, piety is not in the claim alone, piety comes from character. In my essays under "LEARNING" , I have been talking about the difference between "knowing and understanding", we can "know" a lot and yet not understand anything. Some people that claim to know the #Scriptures don't really understand, though all claim to "know". MATTHEW 13:13-15 explains it thusly King James Version 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

LEARNING h 1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE LEARNING h 1 I write a lot, on many topics, with some education, some experience,( military and civilian), running two businesses for over thirty years, a stable marriage that has lasted 36 years, raising 3 kids and putting them through college (out of pocket and with no student loans), and with 70 years of living, on three continents, and learning five languages, I think I know a little. Not bragging on myself here, just letting you know a bit about me. No you don't need college or a degree to know a lot. But you do need to have a sense of logic, sound reasoning, and know you may not know everything and should be willing to learn. A bull or a mule may be really determined, but he is not "right", we can both agree. Nothing in this world is the "final word" yet, no matter how right I may believe myself to be. Everyday we learn something new in science, in medicine, in computers, even in farming and making armaments. If refused to change our thinking, our ways, we would not have made any progress over the years. What we have, what you and I see today is the result of change, some over thousands of years, some just over the past few days, months or years. Time to time, we recognize that we are doing something wrong and change our "traditions" , heck we use to have out houses and now we just "use the bathroom" right inside our pretty home. It is different, it is totally against tradition also. Fact! I have titled this post as "LEARNING h 1" I plan to write more as a continuation of this post, I hope you will follow along. We have a strong tradition in this country, we buy older homes and remodel them, we buy older cars and spend money, time and great effort to restore them, we like to keep the original parts, I love that. We also used to take cars, in the older days and souped them up, I have never seen any one trying to tear down a souped car or a refurbished and remodeled home. When we talk about "taking over country back", what arr we talking about. We used to be great country, what made us great is that we made life better for ALL our citizens, we had strong families, we had great work ethic. We helped our neighbors, we built strong communities, we gave more rights and more freedoms to all our citizens, we had a great middle class, we had jobs with guarantees, and retirement and healthcare. We had companies that were made to care for the workers, they were forced to clean up their operations and clean up the environment. If that is where we want to take #America back, let's go. Yes there are serious problems in certain communities, those needs to be pointed out and addressed, right now the politicians are not solving problems, heck have no ideas about how to solve the problems. They know they all are the cause, left, right and center, open your eyes and see the truth, don't listen to them, tell them you need to see their plans and their actions. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N.

INTO THE ABYSS 179 b

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 179 b We have to be really smart, to understand and to know. By definition we are not and that in itself is a hard pill to swallow. We like to think of ourselves as smart, really really smart. We are all above average. There are concepts that we fail to grasp, so our default position is to reject the concept out hand as either false or just not "right". Think about this, even the best scientists can vagus grasp the vastness of universe even though the can tell you that it 13.5 billion years old or that it is 93 billion light years across. They can give you the numbers but surely they can not in simple terms explain how big that is. But here are a couple of other things, we do not know for sure that the space is infinite. If the space is infinite indeed the the billions of galaxies or not it is mostly empty, to the point so that it is more than 99% nothing. Think of another thing, if we take into account the dark energy and the "anti- matter", it is all zero, nothing. Of course a human body is 99.9999999% empty space, really. So, in other words the space is empty, human body is ??? You decide! Is it not all than just our imagination? And we think we are so good/bad! What do we really know, what makes us so confident, we have created a reality, based upon stories we have been told, who we are, what we are, what is our role in the scheme of things, in this universe that we seem to believe that we exist in (which is an empty space full of nothing). Yes we are special, as long as we don't think about it. Of course there is something, if you like to think that way, look for some simple explanation, that may not be true, but it is palatable, we can add some salt, some spices, or just hold our noses and swallow hard.

INTO THE ABYSS 179 a

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 179 a We think we know, we know a lot, most of us do anyway, it is one of the benefits of being a human I believe, especially in the "modren" society. We are supposed to know and thus we are supposed to have opinions, whether we know anything or not. We have no idea, in reality we really do not. WHT is your name Bob or Bettey and not Jack or Jill, can you give me a good reason? May be you were named after one of your relatives, so what does that mean, do you become "them"? Why? Ask, what does Bob mean anyway, can you define a "Bob", if I "Just" happen to know that your name is Bob, what does that tell me? We are not who we "ARE", we are born and we get a random name, if you were called Jim instead of Bob, you would have never known, you would have accepted the "fact" that you are Jim, and would be, probably" upset if I kept calling you Bob. You did not choose to be white or black, rich or poor, nor did you choose to be born in America, or the 20th/21st century, so there is that. What are we so proud of? Our stories are just that, a series of random "coincidences" over which we had no control over, none, zero, zilch. Yes, so much for all your great accomplishments. Our opinions also greatly depend upon our upbringing and circumstances, not our choices, the fact that you can even read this, is because you happen to have money, for whatever reason, that you can read English, for whatever reason, that you have eyes for whatever reason, and also maybe you can read this because you didn't die in a airplane crash at the age of whatever, or that your great grandfather didn't die in the 2WW and was able to procreate. We like to say that life is choices, we are wrong, life is chances, all of it, the electron on the oxygen atom that you just breathed in was across the universe somewhere just the instant prior, deal with it.

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE LEARNING f Of course, like I said , we all have an ego, and ego doesn't work the way we think it does, not the way that we think. More that I say that I am humble, I am only stoking my ego, I become "proud" even of my "humility". And pride is a deadly sin. Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” I like your comments, all of them, they teach me so much about myself, sometimes what I should do or think, and sometimes they also expose my own faults to myself, how I may be not thinking right, as I see how others think what I don't like. I forget. How is it that we can twist things to fit our own way of thinking, I have said many times that I am neither religious nor pious, and I don't delude myself, I know if my behavior is against the basic tenets of my belief system, there is nothing I can do to not have to pay for my indiscretions. It is true the absolution is offered to us all, but it is all said that I can not sin in the hope of being forgiven, it says so. Hebrews 10:26-31 KJV For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Tonight as I lie down to sleep, I will again review my life, and look at my deeds and judge myself and make amends before I am judged.

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE LEARNING e We no longer are interested in what is right or wrong, we twist laws, #Constitution , the truth and even the #Scriptures to suit our purpose. Bothsides are guilty of it, I am guilty of it too (probably). It is not just as persons, as a society we all want to win, but it has nothing to with our lives. Most of us fail as basic human beings, at all levels. Just watch the news, and look at our society. We point fingers at "those others" we make fun of "them", but we are them. I was on the #foxnews blog, an item about sending signals to aliens, and the comments were about "LGBTQ", about gender dysphoria, what are you talking about, is that all you are worried about? Is that all you can think of, grow up. I said this much afew years back. We have been told that we must have screwed up lives, we must learn to adjust to dysfunction, that the society must be dysfunctional, that we must learn to adapt. I don't know what came first. The chicken or the egg. Was it predicted that the society doesn't know how to operate, what a family is or should be. Or that we, #conservative and #liberal just gave up trying, just to have a good time at the expense of the future generations and a peaceful existence as human beings. It is true that the "psychology" has been pushing "self" above all else, but where is the evidence that the conservative didn't fall in the same trap. Breakdown of society has had immense cost, and now it is too late to back up and regroup. It always go back to the same thing, both the left and the right claim to be doing "the right thing", but they are both the same. Maybe I will repost the articles I wrote back 12-13 years ago, a series " there are two paths" showing how the end result of the policies of the left and the right is always the same. For a quick and simple example, bothsides today want to censor the other side, both sides want the other side to shut up and be quiet, get out of the way, there is a simple reason for it. Our country is ruled by the extremely rich, they select the "representatives" they select the senators and they select the presidential candidates, yes they selected Trump also. So much the better to divide the people. Bothsides have a base of about 30%percent if the population that are ill educated, I'll informed and easily swayed, easy manipulated, and they will stick to their party regardless how they maybe harmed. Both the #liberal and the #conservative polices keep the working class in their place, and the longer these policies are in force, the poor will keep getting poorer, their numbers only expanding. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON YOUR COMMENTS ARE MOST WELCOME M. N. R. 07 MAY 2022

LEARNING d

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE LEARNING d all paradoxes may be reconciled." The Kybalion But have to see and know and understand the paradox, if not you are just lost, dazed and confused. We live in a society that is at war with itself. It is like where a family is fueding at home and someone breaks in an steals everything in the house. We have a society where everyone is stressed because we all want to do everything, have everything, be like everyone else and have no cost. We are a society where therapy is offered on line. Therapy is offered on Facebook, Google and on YouTube and the therapists need therapy themselves. We are a society where everyone is losing and everyone is winning all at the same time. Not what the phrase actually meant when it was coined, but in a very literal sense though our while life has become a "theater of the absurd", our lives our wants and needs, our wins and losses are absurd. Over two years ago, I had predicted the aftermath of the current "healthcrises", the stock market crash, the employment loses, the inflation, the run away spending, the supply chain problems and the shortages. We were actually set up for the fall, the healthcrises was just an excuse, just as Ukraine is. We are losing as country, we are losing our freedoms, we are losing our future, but we are told that we are winning. The new world order continues, the population control agenda continues, the lower standard of living for the general population is at hand, but we are winning, by losing our rights. We are celebrating the death of Roe V Wade, like it will put bread on our table and the chicken in our pot. What we used to know as freedom has lost any meaning or relevance. But, we are winning. Life is all about "in your face", there is no decorum, none required. Our politicians, our justices, our police and our judges , our teachers and our leaders behave exactly the same as those we so "lovingly" call thugs. Strip off any titles and our congress people, our senators, our presidents and governors behave exactly the same as some shoplifters and petty thugs, or big thugs. Watch, observe the manners of any one person and try to judge what class or category they are from. At least in that much we are truly democratic now. Are you sure you have won? Whatever you think you did, whatever you wanted to win, you think you are right, and that is why you won. I always come back to the "self", Maybe this has been a bit confusing, I meant it to be so, make one think, Galatians 6:4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another I WILL WRITE MORE, SOON M.
