It get’s us all eventually

And my friend The Boring Old Man posts his views on it

Funny that. We all make choices, sometimes so spur of the moment, long term thinks can’t come into play. And No One knows the future,,, Prognosticate all you want, you will most likely be wrong.

Too many variables.

I own a home. No mortgage, heck, no utility bills,

but I have regrets of taking this road. Hindsight is 20/20, its part of that Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge curse we took on back in the garden. We found Self-Awareness, We could see how we hurt, why we hurt, and KNOW how we apply that to others.

And we can see the past.

Unlike our pets who live RIGHT HERE< RIGHT NOW, and only enough memory to form loyalties and to do tricks. Pain is felt, but not in the same ways as we feel them. Hurt your dogs feelings and 10 minutes later, Still your bestest friend, no grudge, no resentment. (unless you make it the norm,,,)

Not so much with peoples,,,

We can’t go back and fix our stoopids, we can only use those as lessons learned and try to not repeat them. But we will, in some way, or come up with completely new ones. We are merely human afterall. Across the windows of time, you can see that the Human Race doesn’t really learn ‘The Hard Lessons” all that well. Societies rise, Societies falter, Societies fall. and the cycle continues apace. Life goes on.

And when you are living in the moment, its the absolute worst that you can imagine: until it gets even worse.

or comes to its conclusion and the cycle starts upwards. Sometimes that moment can seem to be the downturn since we, as humans, resist change with bullheaded determination. I am sure the horse breeder of 1900 felt that the automobiles were the worstest thing ever,,, And was absolutely correct for his particular ‘Reality’.

Reality

Time

WE are both

and neither.

we wander this world doing what we were put here to do, not knowing what that was, nor given and instruction manual, and most will make a return to ‘try again’. and again, (Apologies, my take on things, yours may not mesh too well with it. ) One theory that I read say’s that we are souls being ‘trained’ to be harvested for some nefarious purpose. And when I look around at the froo-froo kray kray of the world, I wonder if that isn’t just the point and that we are nearer that harvest point. BUT, I don’t particularly like that idea, just keep it as a ” what if I’m wrong ” point in case new data comes to hand. I personally think we are here for one of two purposes. Educational, or entertainment. Some of us come here to learn something in particular in such a way that we don’t blow up the universe. (our quantim selves have that ability, so they contain us in this compressed energy form to keep the universe safe: like teaching chemistry in a controlled classroom. Might blow up the lab, but the world is still alright.)

But in some cases, its as entertainment,, like a mini-vaca from the ‘reality’.

But we never KNOW,,, no instructions, no users manual, NO MEMORIES from former times (this may be a false statement, but for the most part and most cases, I stand by it.) We are here, now, and moving forward into a quite fuzzy blurry future that we manipulate in some way, and don’t always know HOW. Or even WHY.

As BOM states, getting older, you get to see the ‘regrets’ a little clearer and you begin to understand that, no matter how many they are, they are what brought you to this point, right here, right now, and there is no changing that. What CAN be changed is how those points will carry you forward. Do you let them weigh you down and hinder your progress, or do you learn from them and improve. (hopefully that last) And you never know if ‘that one’ that makes an huge impact on the world will have been inspired by something YOU said or did, in passing through thier small sphere of reality. I would imagine there is some primary school teacher that takes great pride in having been the one that taught Elon Musk how to add numbers. He is ‘just a man’ as they say, but his life has intersected countless others, directly and indirectly, and somewhere in there, someone had some ‘sway’ in how that man moved forward. No one knows AT THE TIME, when they are making an impact of that magnitude: its the butterfly wings creating hurricanes half a globe away.

You never know. So how do you ‘fix’ your self to reduce the bad influences and increase the good?

Attitude and carriage. Fix the bad attitude that everything is “shit” (working on this myself, everyday, and its a fight) because your mindset, SETS the stage for how you deal with others: if everything is shit, you will treat others accordingly. Start by being kind, smiling, and holding eye-contact when speaking to others. (fake it till you make it,,,, it does work) And stand tall, shoulders back, confident that you are a child of the Universe/God/insert your chosen higher power here, and that your time here has PURPOSE. It will find you,

and remember this one thing, stated best by Mark Twain. “The two most important times of your life: the day you were born, and the day you figure out WHY.”

Ok, enough ‘introspection’ on my part, on with the frivolity of living,,,,

Snow day. No work. That injun that was creeping up on me with a knife in his teeth yesterday ended up being a blow up dummy with a rubber knife,,,, Still up before the sun, And the world outside is blue and white right now. Pretty decent sized snowfall for this region,,, Might take Rio sledding today, certainly won’t be kayaking on water. (they don’t clean the boat ramps and those bastaches is steep. No wanna know if Buffalo can swim, yaunnastand?)(THOUGH, if I had a Drysuit, that would make a seal launch a flippin’ blast,,,,whoooosh down the ramp and BA-Whoosh!!! into the water,,, ROFLMAO,,,)
