A Variety of Thoughts About Everything

 Or Resist and Die? I was just recently on a webinar where the person speaking was talking about the new world that we are in. Where How we make an income is changing. And she said, "There are two types of people in times like this. Those who adapt and thrive, and those who resist and die". Unfortunately, I am not sure if that is the exact wording. I came and wrote it down while the webinar was still going on. And my memory got fuddled in the 15 seconds it took for me to open this up and write it. The presenter on this webinar was talking about the business world. I, rather automatically, shifted this out into the entire realm of life. Life as it is today. And here in the United States we are watching this go on in real time. We are seeing a Massive Reaction, Socially, Politically, Business, Religious, to a shift that is happening in this country. A large part of the population does not understand this shift, is scared of this shift, and is violently resisting this shift. Wha...

 Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 22:39, and Mark 12:31 Let me start off by saying that I am neither Christian nor any other Religion. I do not believe in any god out there. I believe that a truly Spiritual life involves a lifetime journey inside ones self to get in touch with the Creator that we all are. And, I also grew up in these United States where the predominate religion is Christianity. And I was exposed to, and later studied, the christian bible for myself. And later on a whole bunch of "holy books" from other religions.

I am not trying to argue with anyone, or try to convince you that I am right or correct, or that you are wrong and incorrect, just explaining so that you understand where I am coming from. And if you are offended by what I say then ok. I really don't care, although I do u...

 When I was young I was in a state of defiance against everything. Occasionally loud. Usually quiet. My actions usually spoke much louder than I did. There was this Blacklight Poster that was around that I really identified with. It showed a mouse flipping off and eagle just before the bird's claws took the mouse. It was, to me, epic. It looked like this. I cannot find the one that I remember. This is close: The poster that I remember was from the viewpoint of just behind the mouse, literally on the mouse's back, and looking up at the bird and the Bird's Claws with the Mouse's Middle Finger in prominently displayed. And I really liked it. More importantly, I Identified with it. To give you an example of what defiance looked like for me, any of you that have read my previous stuff know this story. So here it is again. My Step Father decided that I should wash dishes after dinner every night. For some "reason" I took this as a massive imposition. And, I would st...
