Embarrassed

 

This is my second political post in two years. I try not to get pulled into mean spirited threads. I’ve done well with it until now. The day of the vote, meant it would be over until two and a half years. It seems that day had no effect on the political attitude of many, no matter if you were on the winning or losing side.

 

Now we have thousands of people rioting because they didn’t get their way. I have no idea what they expect to gain, other than make a fool of themselves and our country. The vote is OVER, please let it lay.

 

Some of my friends have made some political statements, but they weren’t mean spirited. They were just stating witch side they came down on. That makes sense to me, if you want to put it out there.

 

I also have some very close friends that have made some really mean spirited posts and comments and they profess to be spiritual in nature. What kind if nature is it? They continue to make these comments as if they are hidden from the world and God. The internet is open for everyone to see. EVERYONE!!

 

I grant you, everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion. However most people have a way of stating there opinion in a nice orderly way. On the other hand some hide behind the cover of the internet and say very ugly statements that they wouldn’t dare say in front of someone else. Those people embarrass me.

Random thoughts: Love or lust

 

 

I have searched for love all my life and often my search has led me astray. I have also followed lust in all the wrong directions. For years alcohol and drugs have mired both of these emotions, but not anymore.

 

At best, I’m a six and that’s because of my personality not my looks. If my appearance were the only aspect that counted. I’d probably score less than a five.

 

I am guilty of lusting after women and confusing that with love. Sadly, I feel I have been with my soulmate already and didn’t realize it at the time. She was the perfect woman, for me anyway.

 

Lust for me doesn’t mean what it use to. It means a strong desire to have or accomplish something; such as, a tasty hamburger, the desire to hug my grandkids or winning the lottery.

 

 

I don’t search for love anymore, but I see it everywhere; in a man and a woman, a parent and a child and of course the simple friends.

 

 

Do I really love the Redskins or is that a word I easily pick out of my blue collar imagination? Love and lust are strong emotions and both have their place in our vocabulary and life.
