The problem is that it is becoming automatic, people are feeling helpless so they ignore and deny what's right in front of their eyes. I've often advised people to start small, don't think about the huge big changes that need to be made, start on one thing you can do here and now, like just becoming aware of automatic knee jerk thinking and the thoughts or phrases in our minds, our words, how one's stomach feels (or body) when we accept yet another infringement on our freedoms. Paying attention doesn't cost a dime, and it's the 1st step of any change--becoming aware a change needs to happen.AWOLGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390546994040652145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176862287652077503.post-44795972881882928722012-01-21T21:41:56.413-08:002012-01-21T21:41:56.413-08:00I wish I'd read YOUR perfect response before g...I wish I'd read YOUR perfect response before going off on my rant, lol. Sorry but I really hate sanctimonious jerks like that. An opinion on the message is fine and welcome I am sure, but to just nitpick, tear down & pretty much say zip in the process, well, it's late and I'm easily set off. Your quote was all that needed saying, great rebuttal. :)AWOLGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390546994040652145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176862287652077503.post-25380474649393828982012-01-21T21:39:05.793-08:002012-01-21T21:39:05.793-08:00Unreal, you start off criticizing his spelling and...Unreal, you start off criticizing his spelling and grammar as if you are some college professor he asked to critique his work, then you start tearing down his message. Where is YOUR blog with your public thoughts for the word to tear into? How dare you really? If you aren't sensing individuality or sincerity, perhaps you are the one with the problem sensing and seeing? I sensed it just fine and loved how he lead from a story to a thought related to how we often just continue letting these changes happen thinking someone else will DO something, but time keeps moving & more keeps building on top of the previous garbage we swallowed. I definitely can relate to the sentiment here, and second it--third and fourth it too!AWOLGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390546994040652145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176862287652077503.post-81688693278827276362012-01-02T08:09:04.859-08:002012-01-02T08:09:04.859-08:00Well put Sir!

I was thinking just yesterday how we humans become so conditioned to the 'norms' of everyday living, that we don't ever question why we're doing things the way we are. (This occurred to me as we were going into Wendy's for lunch, and I was wishing the menu would offer me an apple, a handful of almonds, and a glass of skim milk, which is what I really wanted for lunch, but I had to choose from the 'normal' menu items) Your website is very thought-provoking!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176862287652077503.post-40881201186340341162012-01-01T20:20:08.767-08:002012-01-01T20:20:08.767-08:00Thanks.

Technically, above-average grammar (it's spelled dissent, not "descent"); but heavily interwoven with Freudian symbolism, reflective of commonplace bigotries & rather disturbed, dark. Cloned, zombie-ish, & slightly hypnotic, like a Michael Moore script; written in the style of a dedicated & determined propagandist: "We, You, They... Cockroaches, Fish, (etc)". I don't sense much sincerety or individuality here; you seem a well trained parrot of the 'status quo', or 'establishment' (or maybe just intensely hostile, frustrated, & confused). The stark hypocrisy of you expressing your own belief systems, while making very vaguely worded, negatively phrased, & accusatively toned observations about others' 'religions', is almost funny. It's not surprising that you have so many followers after being up for only a couple of months.shenandoahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220865518565583662noreply@blogger.com
