RANDOM THOUGHTS M3

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 RANDOM THOUGHTS M3 I had posted a meme about "being yourself", a lot of people liked it. Yet I know that most people are not "themselves", heck I wrote about being an "enigma" many years ago. We like to be accepted, even to the point that if is dating someone with tattoos or piercings ( or wants to hangout wit such a group), they automatically confirm. Same with a biker club, a bowling league, a church group. We adapt to the ways of the others, no individuality. And of course the same gruoos won't have you if you wish to be "different", so much for one's personal choice and freedom. It is tough being different, I appreciate that more than many, thank goodness that I am loner, and I am totally happy doing my thing. I don't need to be accepted, or maybe that I don't mind being rejected, it works either way. When a corporation or a billionaire sponsors a news person, a news channel, a university chair, a think tank, they are paying to have their views affirmed and promoted, you don't think a person being paid hundreds of thousands or even millions can have an "independent" viewpoint, do you? So you like a certain program, a certain writer, a certain magazine or a channel, that is your default choice, and soon you start sounding the person you have been paying attention to, you are no longer free to think. Try this next time you are watching TV, try to think what can think bad about the point being made, if you cannot come up with one single point against the opinion, your brainwashing is complete, you have no use for a brain. But I let you think it over. Then it was the quote from Confucius about what should one give up for "wealth and fame", apparently a lot. Morals don't matter in today's society, we love to watch the scum float on /to the top, Confucius actually wanted (admonished) the leaders to have good morals and to set an example for the "peasants", he said that if the leaders have good manners the public will also. He wanted the leaders to have good taste, good etiquette, even "good taste in music". I could go in further detail, but you can do your own research or just ask, we will talk. My third post was about "establishing a bad precedent", from the speech of Julius Cesar, Have we not allowed our leaders to establish bad laws? We have been sold to the bankers, the corporations have the power to undermine our #Constitution our freedoms and our democracy. Average American has no standing and no recourse, from home foreclosures, to drug addiction to pollution we are at the mercy of our betters. The FED and the corporations control whether we will be able to eat, be employed, our businesses stay open. And we are being watched and surveilled and our information sold and traded, while we are "free to do what we want". And if you like, read the whole text of Cesar's speech, study it, and think about what we, today, wish to do to those that we disagree with. Maybe it is time to stop and learn somethings before we take any steps. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 11 DECEMBER 2022
