NO IM NOT LISTENING

If you are going to be a person who won't listen to anything that someone you dislike would say you may miss out on the few good points that they may make. Conversing with people should not carry the weight and unease of a previous conversation this could affect how you would take their new point. Even your enemies can teach you valuable lessons that you can add to your own repertoire of skills. The person who remains open to thought will keep on growing and adapting becoming at peace with themselves, those who are happy to stick with what they know will remain in the same frame of mind when they first gathered their knowledge. Talking will only show people what you know while listening you may learn something you didn't.

 

MONEY DOESN'T BUY HAPPINESS

If money is the key to happiness why are their so many of the richest people in the world dealing with bigger problems than those of an average income? Why do rich people gamble their wealth, when adding any more money to their already millions doesn't gain any more advantages?, unless they are chasing to be the richest person in the world. Is their already successful lifestyle enough to keep them sated for the rest of their privileged life? or do they find themselves getting bored easier all because they have achieved all the success that they see possible. The challenge of making money has become such a standard task so they now take bigger risks to get any kind of thrill. Rich people are more afraid of being poor because they have more to lose which can create obstacles in their friendships which now force them to question the integrity of their friends. Now they question which friends are there to sponge from their wealth? and who will have their back when the tough times hit? If they were born into privilege rich people may find it hard to connect with people because they can not relate easily to the majority of society. If they built their fortune from ground up and remained humble they could recall that it was the struggles that made them grow and become the successful person that they are today. This lesson would teach them to appreciate what they have and not take for granted their blessed lifestyle. You can't buy happiness, it's wisdom that comes with life experiences that keeps you happy with the hand you've been dealt with.

 

I CHOOSE ABORTION

Some people say an abortion is killing a baby and that's the bottom line. When those same people claimed if abortion was illegal that it would save millions of lives around the world, they don't want to consider any reason on how an abortion could be justified. They would rather focus on the opportunities to live that were taken away from insemination soon to be baby and not what conditions the child would be born in. Is the choice to abort a more humane way to save the child from everlasting pain?. Is it a form of euthanasia that can warranted under certain circumstances?. What if the woman was raped and gets pregnant is it a good enough reason for those trying to make it illegal for a pregnant woman to choose her own fate?. Abortion isn't an easy decision for a soon to be parent and if it has been chosen it hasn't been chosen lightly. We can't focus on just the what opportunities we may be removing for the aborted but on the impact of the world with millions of babies born into system that parents couldn't manage and are left feeling abandoned without any hope because the world can not cope with millions of unwanted babies. 

QUICK FOLLOW, BEFORE ITS OVER

Fads come and go and are short lived because what's right for you now doesn't last and remain important when the fad passes. Fads help connect you to what's in and keeps you in the loop of popularity but like an old photo of your past fashionable regrets remorse is what lives in your mind after the fad dissipates. We grow with our experiences and because our minds are ever changing we eventually give up on the efforts of trying to blend in with the in crowd and finally just say "This is who I am and if you don't like me there's the door." At this point of our lives we are as free from the fads and the peer group pressure that turns us into sheep and we focus on our own interests by connecting to what makes us tick. So be like The Masters Apprentices and "Do what you want to do and be like you want to be" without anyone else's need of approval.

 

THE WORLD WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES

Our actions creates a impact to the world that we are a part of, our moral fibre dictates on how we decide to act and react. If there was no consequences to our actions the world we live in would be such a different place. What would we strive for if there were no reward at the end of the tunnel? A selfless deed where their was no gain is hard to find when there are always consequences to our actions. We are creatures of habit through patterns we learn how to maintain healthy habits and increase our productivity. Without consequences our actions would be as random from day to day with no lessons to be learnt. Society's intelligence relys on the lessons of our consequences to gain knowledge and carry it through to generation to generation which will ensure growth for our society. We need consequences as much as we need order to help us reach a utopian society that strives to be better at every chance it gets.

IS CHIVALRY DEAD?

Is chivalry dead ? and if it is what killed it ? These are the questions that tell a story of repetitive negative reinforcement. I believe it's negative mixed messages that have berated and conditioned those who have attempted to be chivalrous to stop and rethink before they offend the unintended so called victim. In the past what seemed like common courtesy was simply opening the door for someone, but now it shows some people that they are incapable of opening the door for themselves when really they are incapable of accepting assistance which makes themselves feel weak. Is it a weakness to not accept assistance or a show of strength? Does it matter who the person is holding the door open? Or are we just ready to show people we are strong and very capable so we don't need anything from anyone.

 

NO RIGHT WAY

Within society there is such a diversity of peoples personalities with their own personalised needs, that there will never be a right way to keep every person satisfied. Pleasing one person or group will open discussion on why him or they and not me or us. Thinking you can meet everyone's needs with a special magical ingredient is wishful thinking. So where does that leave our society? It seems we are forced in the corner and forced to choose, fix the majority's of people's problems as humanily as possible or focus on the minority issues that the few people complain about either way trouble will still find its way. So trying to figure out what's fair is really a matter of perspective whether its more or less. Whether we accept it or not we live in a democracy and the only voices that will be heard are those of a bigger following. So if you feel that you are not being heard it's probably because you are alone in your thoughts. Trying to make others follow your lead can only be done with convincing others of your rational thought, aggression has no part in persuasion so leave it out of your debates. Everyone deserves to be heard but not everyone will be listening if you try to force your opinions.

TIME TO SMILE

Time to smile, the camera is on you seems to hide the fact that you don't really feel like smiling. Put on a brave face despite your pain or dispointment you may be feeling helps the photo but doesn't do anything for the mind long-term, smiling is only a temporary fix. Some people believe that if they will it, they can convince their mind all is well, but their is only so much that will fit underneath a rug. It doesn't matter how much possessions you own if you are in a bad state of mind you will find it hard to feel complete. If your feeling unsatisfied but you have so much to be grateful for it could possibly be because your achievements haven't been met which could be the reason you feeling empty inside. This is a problem of your state of mind, constant distraction will stall your mind but not give you any relief. Happy people dont stay angry people. Going through life avoiding the real questions by gaslighting the real issues is a tactic for your own downfall because it will be the starting point that you use to retrace what went wrong. Once the globe lights up on the top of your head and epiphany hits you, you'll wish you could turn back time and change your ways. So do what you can, while you can be happy when your happy and be sad when your sad because you have to go through the pain to beable to solve the problem and stop gaslighting the issues by dealing with them which will get you closer to being able to smile again for real.

WHAT DO WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

Growing up we find ourselves admiring and sometimes idolising people hoping that we to could be like the ones we respect. Whether it's your parents or someone famous we build an image in our head which is set as a long term goal of the person we want to become. Our long-term goal helps guide us through decisions that can get us closer to being like our personal heroes. In our our thoughts we may feel we have achieved our set goal, but sometimes how we perceive ourselves can vary on how others perceive us. The bigger the differences, the more deluded we are. So stay grounded with your thoughts and just be the best person you can be is the key to happiness otherwise your unrealistic goals will hold you back.

POVERTY PARADOX

A UN official claims 2% of Elon Musk's wealth could solve world hunger. Elon Musk put his own challenge out there by asking that he would sell his Tesla stock to fund a plan if it was explained exactly how world hunger would be solved. Most current poverty programs fail because they focus on trying to eradicate poverty by pushing resources to fill the gap. The answer to poverty isn't resources its innovation. How can we create prosperity through innovation? Practical solutions to real problems that enable communities to flourish, communities need to be self sustainable. Without sustainability they will find themselves waiting for the next handout. Resources will run out the moment the funds stop so without a community focus on sustainability the problems will go in circles and never be resolved. Innovation keeps the community infrastructure expanding in a direction where the community will thrive and keep moving forward with the times.
