Tragic! I cant fault God because He promised not to flood the World again to destroy what harms human kind. I cant fault the people for living where it is most often beautiful. I cant fault Mother Nature because she is just being herself. Perhaps it is not about who is to blame. Maybe it is about having our hearts touched, our minds awakened to our kinship with the World and its inhabitants. Perhaps it is about putting away our selfish pleasures enough to feel the love that is buried within us for others. Apparently happiness is not about possessions but about possessors. However, when people are like thorny rose bushes it is painful and we are compelled to feel their harshness towards us rather than why we can love them. I have family I love but I cant stand to be around them because they hurt me regularly. But, I love them none the less. Funny, but they are like a great meal that is too hot to eat because it burns our mouth and we loose our ability to taste it. Perhaps if we treat people like hot food by slowing down our reactions to them we will be able to enjoy them. On the other hand if people could agree to get upset at each other without destroying our loyalties it would be ok. I wouldnt mind a healthy conflagration, drawing a little blood, shedding each others tears if we could just hug, kiss and laugh when all is said and done. But, it is difficult to find people that can rise to that level of involvement, isnt it? The relatives I have would rather turn their backs on you, give you the silent treatment and pretend you are not related to them. Sounds gutless to me, but, am I normal? How do Latin Americans, Asians and other nations manage to stack multiple generations together in households without killing each other? Maybe they learn to live a higher law because they are forced to live together. Perhaps us Anglos need to learn lessons we have forgotten by being forced to adjust to bad economies. What do you think? Do you have the courage to speak your mind? I can promise you that I will still love you even if I dont like you for some period of time for disagreeing with me. By the way, my comment questioning whether I am normal or not was bait. I was trying to get you to blurt out comments about my behavior throughout my life. I can, however, state that I am not Atypical, ordinary or even civilized from time to time. I confess! I am a slow learner and prone to repeating mistakes. Given time and loving instruction I can eventually get the point whether by sitting on it, poking myself in the eye with it, being punished with it, or by one day figuring out that one should not play with pointy objects. I never said I was perfect, just that I am seeking it out.
