Phones

Just the other day, I posted a question on Fb about the UK leaving the EU.   There were a few thoughtful responses. Kind responses.  Then there was a response from a person who until now, I enjoyed reading.  Without going into what was said, the writer was beyond arrogant.  Devisive.  They want public dollars to pay for everything.  And that just will not be a workable solution. But folks, that seems to be what we have. Spend away, take no responsibility.  How do you think we got to this place?

What we really need a a system change.  The Dems and the Repubs are not working.  They are entrenched in themselves too much.  It is always about them and not about the issues at hand. If you want to know something about egos, look at who in the public eye continually has themself photographed. Politics, actors. Wannabees.  Then look at with whom they stand.  Then look at who shares it.  I sure do not want to see it.  Why would you?

From all the belief systems ~ religion and political I have seen, the only one that really works is the Buddhist mind set.  Now Buddha never wanted to be an icon. Although it seems people need a figurehead.  I was gifted with a Buddhist beeswax candle from a family member.  It is dear because of the person who gifted it.  But with most folks, they need a figurehead because they can't be their own self-leaders.

We need self-leadership.  Standing up for right, helping people out.  I jest and say we need a revolution.  We don't.  We need the inner self to grow and develop.  To stand up, speak out without risk of their job or alienation of 'controlling' friends.  A real friend is someone who always stand with you.  The rest, well - they know where the front door is.

I have been helping a friend for some time through some pretty rough situations.  The friend is all over the place on so many levels.  It hasn't been easy.  At times I just want to shake them and say WAKE UP, the clock is ticking.  It ticks for all of us. I, too, have mirrors.

There are some futurists who do not believe humanity will survive another one hundred years.  I don't spend much time worrying about the future.  The present is hard enough work.  So I won't be spending too much time in the Town Square a.k.a Facebook.  It has become far too trite, a Peyton Place of sorts.  My real friends know where I am.

Just a phone call away.
