God Religion and Our System

I'll reference a country song, "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!" I love the lyrics in my mind couldn't be said better, though I would change a few things. Like God is crazy beer is great, and people are good. Oh wait, is that the most un-PC thing I've said yet? Just wait, I'm sure my rants will not get any better. Let's diagnose my perspective. A couple of facts: I am not religious, I fear my type of person, and I know that I sure as hell don't know a whole hell of a lot about anything, especially God Religion and Our System!

So let's get into the inner voice: many of my closest friends are religious, and for me there has been a direct correlation to those that I can trust and their religious beliefs. Take it with a grain of salt, but "profiling" is fact finding at its best. Over my short tenure of life experiences, those that have a fear of God are generally better people than those that don't. What I mean by better people is that they put their relationships with their family first, their ideals for being the best is associated with the desire to win for winnings sake not win for the sake of others. What it comes to is religious people have morals a moral compass driven by some book that I have never read or some priest that I have never listened to. The fundamentals of proper religion are the ten commandments, which I can't recite. BUT, do unto others as you wish to be done unto you. Hence, the reason "religion" or spirituality is important to me, whether you have beliefs in karma, Buddha, hell even the devil, I don't give a shit, as long as you are honest about it, and have that fear of something other than the law.

The law represents a bull shit version of the ten commandments, except I wish both included eye for an eye. The law for people with money means nothing. Simply look at the way our system works. There are documentary's of wealthy individuals getting away with cold blooded murder. This because our system promotes the idea that one innocent person in the system is worth 1000's of guilty on the streets. While I agree with that, why it is that the 1000's are always the rich? Don't get me wrong, I am one hell of an advocate of capitalism. If you make a shit load of money you should be able to buy the best protection possible, lawyers, doctors, etc. however, it's the lack of fear of God in our system that is creating a lawless system. Even the poor knowing they will be convicted, if caught, weigh their options and commit terrible crimes because currently the punishment doesn't equal the disobedience of the law. Eye for an Eye could fix this issue, or stop taking God out of society, preferably the latter!

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, one nation under GOD for liberty and justice for all!"

This, my friends, was from memory, and the fact that our children no longer say this every single morning is a major problem. I don't give a shit what "god" you like, or dislike, believe or don't believe. Our forefathers created our system based on the Christian way of life, and guess what, that way of living is pretty effin' sweet. No, I don't think the church should be in control that would be a monarchy.

I heard it quoted "a Christians morality is a straight line to God" so if a person has no form of God where does their moral compass point?

Long story short, don't blame religion for issues, don't blame God, blame the godless with a moral compass that doesn't work.

The Psychology of Money: A Personal Insight

Recently, I had an experience that reshaped my understanding of the psychology of money. I took over a property management job where part of my payment came in physical cash, money previously directed to someone else for this task.  Most tenants paid digitally or by check, but one unit always paid in cash. Having that "management" fee/ maintenance fee tangible, in my hand, ignited a unique perspective. It wasn’t about the amount, but the form in which it arrived.  Sure, I could take a full-time job earning in excess of $10K a month. However, that wouldn’t necessarily change my life as it would only take more of my time, the one resource I can't regenerate.  Surprisingly, the extra $1K in cash monthly had a more significant impact, not because it was a windfall, but because it made me more mindful of my earnings. The physicality of cash and the process of earning it manually introduced a sense of value and respect for my work that was somewhat abstract before.  This p...

Elk Hunt - Shakespearean style

In Meeker's vale, where mountains touch the skies, An alfalfa field before us calmly lies. Two hundred fifty elk, a sight to glean, To move unseen a task, nigh unforeseen. Our guide named Hugh, and Father by my side, We hunker down, in quiet we abide. At last I spot him—five by five, the bull, Amidst his kin, the scene is nearly full. A hundred thirty-eight yards separates, My steady aim on destiny debates. For three long minutes, in my sight he stays, But cow elk guard him, blocking aim and gaze. I dare adjust—alert, they bark and flee, My chance arrives, as if by fate's decree. The cows disperse, the bull steps forth alone, My rifle speaks; its aim and end are known. Down falls the bull, as twilight fades from view, Amidst the field and mountains' varied hue. A tale to pass, from elder unto youth, Of patience, skill, and undying truth.

Declutter - What if

  Introduction The subject of decluttering has always been a hot topic in my family, but it was a recent conversation with my mom that really got me thinking. While there's never a bad time to declutter, I've discovered that timing can make a world of difference. The Psychological Underpinnings of Attachment Growing up, I was around family members who, while not hoarders per se, had a tendency to hang onto stuff—think tools gathering dust and too many sleeping bags "just in case." Over time, I noticed this emotional attachment to things didn't just clutter the house but also our minds. The Ideal Conditions for Letting Go After years of living amidst semi-clutter, I had an epiphany: the act of letting go can be incredibly freeing. It's funny how mental barriers often make it difficult to start the decluttering process. But once you overcome them, you're rewarded with a serene sense of calm. Life Events as Natural Catalysts While events like moving homes or ...
