Description Another example of man's greed,cutting out more mountains in the beautiful Ozark mountains to make room for real estate to build rich people there megalomaniac houses, to fit their ungrateful egos.
World people are the people that have to own everything, but it will not make them happy to have all these possessions. It makes them, less social and less tolerant of others, and less helpful to others. Their type of thinking will someday set them up to be poor. Worldly people are selfish and look down on anyone not like them. World people are greedy, and are far from the truth about life, they will rue the day when the consequences come knocking at their door. They are fake and jealous of trivial things.
They block the true beauty of the spirit which resides in us all. If the Father's shinning rays are blocked from the soul you are leading to unhappiness. But the offer of the shinning soul, is always present and attainable, by all of us. Yet the illusion of money,power, greed are powerful demons for the soul. Either give up the bullshit or you'll never know the true spirit. In the end, you get what you have given in life.You reap what you sew. You may wake up one day homeless sleeping in the street spending the days begging for food. I believe this as an ultimate truth of life; Karma!! If you have given love freely to help someone, unconditional for no personal gain; then someday you will receive this in return. Maybe late in your life dying alone on a decadent gold plated bed, unconditional love from a person will prevent a lonely death or not As Mother Theresa said, "If you are rich give to those who really need help, Keep your soul by helping those in need."

Mother Teresa leaves this hope for us all:

"There are many people dying for a piece of bread, but their are many more dying for a little love. There is a hunger for love as there is a hunger for a God."

I am not judging. I am far from perfect, but I do try to progress.

Glad you like. I get on a tangent at times. Then I am okay! Breath in breath out, relaxed; a little! I love Mother Teresa's writings. Her words are profound; really a Saint.

Well said! A sad but true assessment. It is good to hear you end with a positive note.

Thanks very much. I went off on a tangent, but I mean it. I am not a person who goes to church or belongs to a religion. I was one of those world people in my twenties, but life humbled me and I am grateful for it.Anyway, someday, if you want to hear, I'll tell you more. But hey, I am not a gloomy person. I love laughter. It's the only thing that can beat life struggles! Anyway,one time my father in law, the same one hit with the monkey shit, bought a new car. He was very proud. So, i went for a ride with him. He rolled down all the windows and said proudly, "do you hear that.That's Dyna Ride." I said, being the smart ass I am, it sounds like the wind to me. He got very serious and said "no son, it's the new Dyna Ride in my car." He went on to say, "if we were to go 90 mph with the windows open, we would flip over just like the Nascar's." Well, to say the least I almost chocked trying to hold in my laughter. I didn't have the heart to tell him 'Dyna Ride' was just a gimmick by the car makers. Oh,and he also loved Nascar!! When I got home, I nearly died laughing trying to tell the story.

Some people are clueless... I know what you mean! I really only became "seriously aware" about 7 years ago when I started working for an environmental consulting firm. It's so interesting and disturbing at the same time. I would love to hear more of your stories and experiences, one can learn a lot from others... Please forgive my "poor" writing skills, my first language is French. You might experience many moments of French sneaking in (i.e. direct translations etc....LOL). I've been told I tend to put my foot in my mouth fairly often (usually both feet, I think!) anyway, if something I say sounds a little goofy or off, please don't take it seriously or ask me what I mean.

LOL, and Democrats. I don't really like either party. They represent the same thing but say it different. They make so many promises that are either lies,or an idealistic ego, they can not deliver. Anyway we can always be thankful for what we have and that's a lot compared to millions around the world!
