A couple few times a year I put this question out to my fb friends: Are You your Sisters keeper? Are You your Brothers keeper? And, if not, why not? If your answer is no, its because of an underlying fear ... and, it may be not so underlying. Whatever the fear is its time to examine it - puncture this false bubble. Never fear what You may find, the gifts of freedom & joy are on the other side of an honest inquiry. Ive long believed the healthier people go to a shrink (they should be called expanders). My hunch is the reason people dont go to shrinks is because theyre afraid of finding out the shitty feeling they have about themselves will be true and therefore justified. Back to the theme, Brothers/Sisters keeper. Last week a 60ish women approached me. She had no place to sleep that evening. She was told I might be a good resource since I was homeless just a little over a year ago. Her anxiety level was through the roof. I have a room in someone elses home and am not at liberty to even make such a request of her staying at our house. I told her I had an appointment which would end in a couple of hours and then Id try to help. I also told her I had a car in which she could stay - Id bring her a blanket and a few pillows so that shed at least have shelter. This was not a big deal, yet when I was homeless people in my fb community would send me light, love, and hold me in their prayers, but no one said, what can I do for you, Arthur? I thought to myself what a sorry state people were in - how pervasive fear was among all these people. So if youre reading this you are most likely in that grouping. And, of course you believe your reason is a legitimate one. Im not here to shame You, or imply Im some wonderful guy - Im here to provoke thought within You. So again I ask, are You the keeper of your fellow man?..
