Lessons of Existence

"I'd like to know why I am in the situation I am?" ~ ARC



I’ve been pondering this for a while now and I think I may have an answer.  

Life is a series of learning experiences.  We all learn based on what decisions are made by ourselves and on our behalf by others.  Some things we have control over, other things we do not.

We may not generally like some things that occur as a result of our decisions or by the actions of others…nonetheless we have to learn how to deal with the circumstances that life has presented to us.  Self pity and wallowing in our own despair is never productive.  We, as human beings, must take all of our situations, good and bad, by the proverbial horns and try to make the best of it.  For some people this leads to financial prosperity, for others it leads to financial failure.  There are, however, more important things than money.  Personal integrity, self esteem, wisdom…just to name a few. 

Treat each day as if you will end that day wiser and overall better off than you did when you woke that morning and you will be content with your existence and eventually prosper mentally, physically, emotionally and financially.

I know this may not be the answer you were looking for but it’s the best I can offer at this time.

The Nature of God

“How can a god be called a god if it is not omnipotent, or how can it be omnipotent if there are multiple gods who can cancel each others desires out?” ~ KS I think what we’re dealing here with this question is the nature of god verses the nature of Creator.   For clarification, my viewpoint is that there is Creator…then there are gods.  I’ll explain the difference between the two. The Creator is the one entity that is responsible for all that, was, is, or ever will be.  Creator is genderless and is truly omnipotent.  The awesome power of Creator is honestly difficult if not impossible for humans or other humanoids to actually perceive.  Think about how truly insignificant we as a species are in comparison to the Universe that we live in.   Many people have seen the video where a person is focused on from above; then the view widens to show a city block, then the city, then the state, then the country, then Earth.  Eventually...

Thoughts after the shooting in Aurora, Colorado

Breaking from the norm here as I address the shootings at the Batman movie in Aurora, Colorado.  I am not out to change anyone’s mind…this is merely my position on this issue.  If you change your mind…fine.  If not…fine. First of all (at the risk of sounding cliché) this is a tragedy…no doubt about it.  The senseless slaughter of these people who were out to escape from the pressures of daily life and immerse themselves into the world one of the greatest comic book heroes in the history of illustrated entertainment is heartbreaking.  I want everyone reading this to be perfectly clear that I do not condone the actions of James Holmes in any way shape or form. Now on to the rest of the story… Before continuing I want to make it clear that not only am I a firm supporter of the Second Amendment, but of ALL of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. Not surprisingly, Senator Lautenberg of New Jersey has made yet another call for gun contr...

The World Is A Dangerous Place

I’ve been reluctant to write this blog entry but I cannot hold it in any longer.   If you are a friend of mine who is anti-gun you may want to stop reading now if you value our friendship.   I’ll not bring this topic up to you in person but consider this your fair warning. This year we’ve had two high profile mass murders in our country.   First in Aurora, Colorado at the Batman movie where seventy-one people were shot or otherwise wounded.   More recently in Newtown, Connecticut where the senseless slaying of six innocent teachers and twenty children took place.   There are other shootings that have taken place this year that have not had such a dramatic presence in the media.    There actually have been a total of sixteen mass shootings with total casualties of at least 88 victims.  Honestly, this sickens me. ·       February 22, 2012— Five people were killed in at a Korean health spa in Norcross, Georgia, w...
