Tidbits

A few tidbits caught my eye yesterday....and Matt's, and some reader friends, and another friend who made a comment to me about something he read on Facebook.....They all don't constitute a whole blog, or have already BEEN in a whole blog...but let's just run a miscellaneous list.

1) This one sadly came up a few times yesterday. Do not allow anyone to bully you into doing something you don't want to do. It started with a person who had her BF say he would leave if she wouldn't participate in a swingers lifestyle...and we don't mean dancing. When someone wants to force you to do something against your core being and beliefs, they don't love you, they love themselves. When you give an ultimatum, be ready to stand good on it. There are good times to give ultimatums, such as "if you don't get help for your drug addiction, I will no longer enable you, not a dime will come out of my pocket. Get help, or get out of my life".

2) Never allow yourself to live in fear. Fear usually fosters hate, and it always causes you to make bad decisions, as they are not logical decisions but irrational reactions. You will believe anything that supports your theory, even if it is totally ridiculous. You end up being a person who is bitter and usually alone, or with a small circle of like minded people. Anger, hate and fear cause illnesses , most prevalently cancer. It isn't worth it spiritually, mentally, physically. I see people posting hateful post after hateful post and fearful post after fearful post on social networking sites. They are on a mission . Nothing about their lives, unless a disaster hits. Nothing funny that happened to them, goals they reached, things their family or friends, did, or interests they have, just hate, fear, and rage. Don't get into that trap. It leads nowhere.

3) I saw a blog someone wrote about traits of an empath. It was 99% BS. Empaths are simply people who feel the emotions of others. They don't know things, can't tell the future or past. They aren't psychic, they aren't mediums. They just pick up on other people's emotions. Period. When they watch a commerical and cry, and they are the only ones there, that is THEIR emotion, not being an empath. All the other things they listed were traits of emotional people, and people with emotional ISSUES, not empaths. The list could just as easily apply to bi-polar, schizophrenics, dramatic personalities, those suffering from depression, and people who imagine themselves to be somehow "gifted". Be careful what you read on the net!

4) Suicides will never be your guide, neither will family members. Your guide is with you from birth, and it is NEVER a person you knew in life. A guide can have been a suicide several lifetimes ago, but not the last one!

5) The Muslim religion is not a bad religion in any way. There are extremists, but they do not reflect the beliefs of the majority of Islam. No one condemned Catholicism when the IRA was blowing up everything in sight....so don't condemn Islam for idiot suicide bombers. The extremists are to Islam what the Westboro Baptist Church is to Christianity!


That was enough for one day wasn't it! We will see what today brings, although I have a feeling it will be more of the same.

meanwhile...Do the right things for the RIGHT reasons. Research, learn and grow. Pass on nothing until you completely verify it, and never allow anyone to bully you or your children!
