So forget our government. As regards information, these days, take what you need and leave the rest. Regarding all the rest, they’re full of it, and you just choose what “it” smells best to you.
In a nutshell, that’s it.
As far as the media goes, you know, Pravda USA, they’re so far off the mark that they can’t even see the mark anymore. It’s all about agendas, personal agendas.
So there’s a good line in the movie Shooter spoken by Ned Beatty. He says “There are no sides, son, there’s only haves and have-nots.”
Overall, clear as day, and make no mistake about it, that is what drives the agendas. Envision it any way you choose. We are the zombies, they are the people. We are in the districts, they are in the gated city. We are the cows in the pasture who have to produce the milk. They own the farm and drink the champagne they buy with the money made from selling the milk that we must produce for them.
And so it goes.
No. I’m not really bitter. I have my feelings and my resentments. I have my experiences and the effects of them, and I have what was superimposed upon me by my parents and those people who have had any influence in my life. It is what it is.
If anything, especially now, I’m thankful. I woke up this morning. My family has its medical issues but we are mostly okay. I’m thankful I worked all my life and while we are not rich, we are okay. I’m thankful I have a job and I’m set up to work from home and can do so for this period of time, whatever it will be. I’m thankful that my parents taught me to work hard, to rely upon myself, to not be wasteful and to save for the future. Especially in times like now, I’m glad I didn’t spend my money on two hundred dollar sneakers or brand-new cars that I couldn’t afford the payments for. I’m glad that I bought what I could afford, saved my money and am prepared for a rainy day. Today might be that rainy day in this environment. I don’t think so, but it just might be, and that’s the whole point of not living beyond your means or being dependent upon others.
I’m grateful for so much more too. I wrote about that in the little piece on gratitude. I’m most glad I’m in America, and this even though our government is FOS. It is FOS, no question about it. But still and all, America is the best place to be, at least as as I see it.
Right now, and at least for now, everything is quiet in my house. Last night when I wrote some of this, one dog was downstairs watching TV with my wife. One was in bed with my daughter. They were both sleeping peacefully.
Thank God for the little things. I thought that then and still think it now.
That’s about it altogether. The only thing I implore everyone to do is to look clearly and closely at everything. Believe nothing the government and Pravda USA say until you verify it for yourself. Follow the Golden Rule and remember man is by nature selfish and greedy. Try not to be one of the greedy and selfish. Fight that instinct. Being able to understand our instincts and to temper them is what it means to be human.
