oh yes, J:
it is something nice to hope for. i can agree with that. but most of us are so very misinformed in thinking that what we call reality is really the walking dead. to me, the walking dead is just a person who lives in illusional lies that they presume are true. the whole idea of what i am saying here, is Exercise your choice to treat others they way you expect to be treated and enjoy one another. this is not impossible and is within everyone of our grasp, simply by making a choice and i promise you, that the outcome will be nothing less than perfect.
most of us think of an answer to a question before we even get a grip on what the question or comment really was. i am the perfect example, being here has really taught me to think all things through before i execute a choice, because once i make that choice, that's it, i have absoloutely no control over the outcome. now that is what shakes me up and down, knowing that i have this great power of choice and i abuse and or misuse it. in life, the only control we really have, is by making a choice. once the choice is made, the outcome carries the weight of the remains within a day, and sometimes it carries weeks and even months. so i believe that there is an element of control within everyone of us, if we choose through consideration the choice of speach and activity before we execute it. and at times, it may not be easy, but the bottom line is that we have a choice and we have control over the choice we make.
it's like my son made a choice to join the US Military, the outcome of a choice he made years ago became WAR. he has no control today of that choice made, like karma or justice, the outcome showed face of a choice that was made. sure he walks on the prayers and hopes of a lot of members here at the Post that have prayed for him and I soley depend upon the outcome of those prayers, but more-over, those people on the post chose to pray for him and what i know is this, those prayers will have an outcome.
at and besides, who says it can't be Utopia right here at the post and our everyday lives. not only is it something nice to be ahead of us, but a place where we can choose to live right now, if we could just slow down a -tad- i honestly believe the lot of us would see a whole lot of what you call Utopia it is not impossible and it is within our reach!
you made a choice to reply to this post, you didn't have to, but you did, so responses are the outcome of the choice you made and same applies to me for posting it. we may disagree to disagree without being cruel and stinky about it. anyone of us can take a moment and ask ourselves, "if i say this, will it offend or hurt this person" now, um not saying that this is the soup of the day, but what i am saying is that it can, and should be done, just by a simple choice of consideration.
i considered what i would post here not just based on my emotions, i asked myself, "would this offend me?" "what will i do if someone responds with a cruel response?" and i considered many other possibilities, because i knew, once it was posted, i could not take it back and but with the hopes that some may read this post and find their own harmony and share it, just like me. "It's Just A Choice We Make"
