I was think about a way to explain how I feel about some of the things I care about and how others don’t.

So here goes, You’re walking down the street and a man/woman stops you and asks if you can help push their car. How would you answer? I would say yes. Now after you answer you find out the car is on a hill, do you change your mind? I don’t.

Now, take the car out and put in a cause. Save the whales, help the homeless, feed the hungry, what ever. Take the hill and put in how people feel about the cause. In other words, the cause will always be an up hill battle.

I feel everything I believe in is things people don’t want to talk about, or deal with, or even ear about.

I try to explain to people how to help the homeless and they tell me it would not work. I tell people how they can help the families that are hungry (and all the people) again they say it wouldn’t work. I have tried to get people to see what is right in front of their face and they tell me I’m wrong. I told people, watch out, the world is about to get a major blow to it’s banks back when Bush was in the white house. They all said no. Now everyone is happy with the President and his plans, not me. Something’s not right. What it is I can’t say, but I can say we’re in for a big long ride that we can’t stop.

But that’s not what I’m writing about now. Now it’s about me. I watch the TV and see people killing animals and others joking about it. That’s just mean! I tell people, it’s just the beginning, we have a “upgrade” system in us, we kill a goldfish we need to kill a mouse, the a cat, then a dog, and so on. We will end up killing a person soon. That’s just the way we are built. Today we fight for territory just like the caveman did. Today we fight and kill just like the caveman did. So why are we so advanced with everything around us and we go back to primeval thinking. Are we moving ahead or going backwards? When I see a man/woman/child on the side of the road, I ask what’s wrong? Do you? Do you even care? Do you even see the person? We had a storm a while back and some morning doves fell out of a tree. It was raining hard and my area floods fast. So I took the birds and put them in a shopping cart this way the mother would find them and the cats couldn’t get them to easily. I watched for about 2 weeks(give or take) and saw that one flew away. But the other died. I was upset that both didn’t make it but that’s life. My point is, I took the time to care for the baby birds. Ask yourself, would you have gone out in the rain to care for the birds? Now ask yourself, would you go out of your way to help a person? Most likely not, and I’m not picking on you, must people just turn their backs, and that gets me so mad that I’ve started to hate humanity (the word).

Why hate a word? kindness: kindness or compassion for others. Is how the word is defined in the dictionary. So, were is the kindness in humans? We all go after things we want and I’m no different, but some step on other to do so. We see people in need and we turn our backs on them, we see animals hurt or killed and we turn and make jokes. We call ourselves humans and we’re no different from the animals.

I’m on my soap box now and can’t stop. That’s the way I get, I believe in something and run with it until I can’t run anymore, then I walk. I hate being this way, but I can’t help it.

.

There’s a song Another day in paradise by Phil Collins, when he first sang it he was at the music awards (which one I don’t remember)he knew how people would react so he didn’t tell anyone about the song. He opened their eyes and showed them the real world. They didn’t like that and booed him off the stage. The man was right, the song is true. It would make you cry if you really hear the words and use your mind to “see” what he was singing. He is not the only person that tried to open eye. Yet we choose to keep them closed, why? Is the truth that hard to bear? Will you see what you can’t handle? If I tell you I can help you “see” what you can’t, would you ask for help? I think I’ve been going on to long to day so I’ll stop now and let you think about all this and maybe listen to the song Phil Collins sang (Another day in paradise ). I’ll conclude my 3 part saga tomorrow.

Thank you for reading

And hope to see you tomorrow.
