SCARS UPON THE SOUL; BLOG # 2150; FRI AUG 17,2018

THE MESSAGE:

A large ego usually results in insensitive and immature behaviours which generate resentment by others and ultimately unhappiness for the selfish one. When you feel the need to defend or promote yourself; do it in solitude. Would this be good advice for Justin Trudeau?

NARCISSISM

THE BLURB:

COMPETITION

Do we place too much emphasis on our children in the areas of social achievement and sporting championships rather than compassion for others, learning from bad choices or honest effort?

EXTREME SELF CONCERN

Here is one way to defeat competition and avoid international disfavour! A shadowy Bermudan company that has funnelled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States, is run by executives with deep ties to a Russian, government-owned oil company. The Bermudan company also is involved in off-shore money laundering schemes for members of President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.

SOLUTION??? 

The next time you wish you had an invention that would satisfy the urge to shoot any competitor or nuisance creator in the ass with a pellet gun think carefully about it. Economics would take over and you would probably sell the invention on the world market. Demand for the product would be unfathomable.

Would you really want to live in a world where everybody had the capability to shoot YOU in the ass every time you competed with someone or did something to annoy another person? 

"Have a good day at work dear! Did you remember to put on your armoured underwear?"

"I WONDER!" 

Today too many people have too many things to wonder about. They can be summarized under the concept of ‘EXTREMISM’ and are rooted in the evils of ‘IGNORANCE, JEALOUSY and FEAR’.  It has been fertilized by ‘LONELINESS, REVENGE and HATRED’ and harvested by ‘STUPIDITY, SHOCK and GREED’. 

Extremists have numerous issues from which to choose. They can be all in regarding one or more of: the climate, the oceans, the landscape, politics, religion, racism, tribal rights, conspiracy theories, borders, genetically modified food, diet, resource gathering, weapons of destruction, wealth accumulation and distribution, population growth, or sexual orientation, to name a few.
  

How many causes can one person adopt? The ease with which terrorism and recklessness can be foisted on innocent victims begins, sometimes at birth. Our prayers seem to fall on deaf ears. 

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

There are some things people think but don't say....

"Political correctness is the classic Great Idea Gone Wrong. All it's done is shut us up. It hasn't changed anybody's mind. It hasn't changed our hearts. It's changed our faces. It's taken every opinion we have, it's taken every joke we have, and it's forced us to conceal it and hide it and bury it. It's made us superficial."

TERRORISM

Why is it easy to recruit terrorists from our own democratic societies? What kind of weakness has occurred in their lives to make them seek a better life by attacking people who are viewed by them to be worthless? 
Terror is a tool used by those seeking power to keep the masses looking for  answers that only the power hungry philosophy can provide.......follow me into the depths of inhumanity!

Too many people tend to shift the blame for everything on to someone else. In doing so, they corrupt their soul. They never truly arrive at  understanding their soul and realizing their own strength.  Children who come under the influence  of these weakened souls have little chance to develop strength of commitment and character.

 THE SOUL

WHAT WE DESIRE, WHAT WE HONOUR AND HOW WE REASON.

More injustice, more indifference, more impatience, more selfishness, more competition, more discrimination, more corruption in high places, more greed, more seekers of power........ MORE SCARS UPON THE SOUL!

VIEWING YOUR SOUL

Sit on a chair and look hard into the mirror. Think of the worst sin that you have committed in your life. Instead of making excuses, such as “that really wasn’t me, it wasn’t my fault or really it wasn’t all that bad”; concentrate on the your image and reflect carefully on what caused you to act in such a manner. Honesty can unveil your soul!​

THE QUESTION:

Are political parties a good example of Extremism?
