People who can't stop.....

A reader emailed me last night and asked "what is it with those idiots that just can't stop? They go on and on about things. They spread hate, fear, sarcasm, and stupid saying (sp) thinking they sound what????SMART? REALLY?"

Good question. You know the guy/gal. They send you email on the same subject day after day. They post nothing but Facebook placards on a subject, and when you question the validity of what they post, and where they got their information from , they go off the deep end, and keeping posting and posting and posting. You already know where they stand on animal rights, gun control, abortion, ad naseum, yet they just can't stop.

What is up with that?

What is up is a person who thinks that they are spiritual, smart and have it all together and they correcting this messed up world, and what they are , is far from those things. It is OK to take a stand, make a few comments, and have a lively discussion. However, when you are obsessed, when you get nasty, when you get angry, when you post things just to rile up people after the dust has settled. You have a problem.

Our world is a place where we are supposed to be in a peaceful state. We aren't always supposed to agree, but we are supposed to always be nice to each other. When you post things, email things, say things, just to get a rise out of people, then you are not being a good Universal citizen. You are being a brat, a bully, or even a flat out jerk.

The answer to the question posed by the reader is that there are several reasons, the most "popular" is that there are people out there that believe if they get the last word, shout over you, or make more statements than you, they win. They feel that makes them right, and that they have won the argument. They don't even have to speak facts, just keep on speaking, they think that makes them look right and smart. It does just the opposite. Usually , after a while, people stop paying attention, and they end up arguing with themselves.

The other reason is attention. Some people just need more attention than others. They don't even care if it is negative attention. When I was studying psychology at Montclair State a fellow student did an experiment on this subject. She found that even good people, when ignored, will eventually step over a line to getting negative attention. Some step WAY over the line, but most good people just give things a little nudge, yet it happens. So some are just attention seekers.

A third reason is that their life is in chaos. There are financial problems, personal problems, medical or emotional issues, or all of the above, and causing upset somewhere else makes them feel better about their situation and prove the old adage "misery loves company".

One other is that they are just plain insane.

They are people with no faith, they may think they have it, or pronounce that they attend church every Sunday, but they DON'T have one ounce of faith. People who have faith, let things go. They "let go and let God"...or whatever word resonates with you. They may get upset with things, but they try to change them, by doing things like working in a soup kitchen, but they don't go on and on and on in social media and personal contact.

Having real, healthy faith is what makes people calm and peaceful. They aren't angry with the system, the government, the world. They don't live in fear, they don't worry about laws being "un-religious", they let God, the Universe, worry about all that. They trust it will work out fine for them, and you know what, it does.

If you are one of those people that keeps posting things days after the incident, argument or world happening has ended; days after your friends have gone back to the lives.....you need to take a hard look at you, and not be known as one of the crazy people that is obsessed by needing to show how much you can try to prove your point.

Write a book, a blog, that people can CHOOSE to read, or not, and get yourself to a happier place, because the person who wrote to me is right, there are too many of you out there. You don't check your facts, you don't care how you look, you just SPOUT. Stop, and have faith, it will feel better, trust me.

The Universe has is all under control. It may not be YOUR preferred way of things being, but trust me , the Universe is MUCH smarter than you!
