Glen ... I have noted a rather interesting "thing" about BM. That is most of the time and with the majority of "Posters" ... it seems to me that the objective of their Posts are in fact not to discuss, express their opinion nor even display their experience and knowledge in a particularly engaging fashion. The prime purposes are to disagree, discredit, condemn, mock, insult, undermine and deface the original Post.
Not everyone does this and yet many seem to excel and revel in doing so. There are NEVER any good results. Dayne is an example of how hurtful and mean spirited Posts can affect in a most negative fashion. Slacker will post something for open discourse and take the time to defend his position even against the mockers. His Posts are well chosen in their subject matter and also well defended I believe.
Perhaps all on here, certainly myself, are guilty from time to time of doing this, but we do not make a career of it and are quick in our forgiveness. Yod is a good example of this I believe and enjoys any disagreement and discussion as much as he can whilst getting his points across. He also will reach a point of acceptance and move on with no malice.
And everyone is dealing with everything that goes and comes with living in this "world" ... so this as we know can bubble up and become overwhelming to some and yet others like Haley rise to whatever occasion or negative circumstance with great resolve and determination. Case in point ... personal injury and Flood. In doing this we all have our "crosses" to bear no doubt.
Schmed is just as unique as any of us here and I admire his humour from time to time. As we know having a child for the first time is quite an experience and much different than creating a song. Self introspection goes to almost terror more quickly and easily than ever before due to Responsibility. This natural act has become more and more difficult, complicated and even risky. The joys abound but bring changes and rock one's world. I make no excuse for him, but admire your chosen tolerance and absolute refusal to engage as you most probably would have done before.
Every discussion is now an "End of Life" one, well stated Glen. Only most do not understand this or choose to simply ignore and deny it. They think things will continue the same but have not either lived as long as we have or experienced what we have ... so consequently do not know what we know. I am not calling them stupid, only ignorant and they will themselves decide if they are stupid. Now is the time to assess who, what and where we are.
"Tribulation" will only grow in intensity and scope. It is not the time for "Spring Cleaning" but it is most certainly the time of "Making Ready and Ordering one's Life and House" for what is coming ... The Fall and great adversity. Winter might stretch for years or not ...
Yes there will be Great Destructive War ... quickly executed and eternal in consequence. Yes it is Tragic but the way I have chosen to look upon it all, come what may ... is that it is a TEST, not the TEST of a lifetime, but rather an Epic Test of what and who we are, having been made so by our Ancestors and ourselves. IT IS THE GREATEST TEST. I prefer to face it with my eyes open and a slight smile upon my lips and most importantly with virtually All of My Very Being.
It is multi-Dimensional Chess being played out to the Death by many who have no concept of how to even play it, the "Rules" or it's tactics and strategies. In this respect none of us are utterly prepared but some are better than others. It is an extremely personal thing set in the centre of worlds, encompassing all. Many have already fallen all around us and many more will.
It is an opportunity to fully express what and who you truly are not so much to others but to yourself. For some there is no battle, only execution, for others more of a self-assassination. There will be some, intense and quick, whilst others shall draw long, hopeless and hard ... gruelling and terrifying. What we are, chooses what sort of battle or battles await us. We must face them with Resolve, Right Actions and All of our Being ... no matter what they might be.
Knowing this comes makes the present that much more precious, valuable and enjoyable. Revel in your Family and all "the soon to vanish" everyday banalities. Take Responsibility and assume Duty. Live as if looking back upon what you now do ... as if you were already dead. Make Good and Right Decisions.
Yesterday was perhaps the Last Most Holy Day of The Year that any will ever experience ... and they did not even know it. The Sabbath of all Sabbaths. Today one should be facing with more "Clarity" than ever before. Not panic, frustration nor confusion. Yet look at the world, listen to the "Leaders" and contemplate the mess. Open a good beer and have a drink for me. Brost !
Down with The NWO ...
