The "cause" before the "effect"




Ever hear of cause'n'effect before?

It is a theory.  Don't ask me how or by whom, the great idea expounded to everyone's great, deep, understanding ::..... either spiritually or mathematically, that for every action their is a reaction.  Get it?  I'm trying to get the great stuff outta here, which drown out the bad stuff.  My dad would always ask us:  "what's the pay off?"  I don't know where that came from, really.  Was it just amazing vision and understanding to determine that is the defining question by which all persons should be able to answer when struggling with a decision:  "what's the pay off".  Kind of like what someone else say:  "what's the worst that can happen? Now, tell me what is the best that could happen?

They say that you should blog at least 5 days a week if you want to make any tremors in the stratosphere.  I'm hard pressed to sit down and write.



No shortage of ideas.  Sometimes I think I need a funnel and sieve to drain all the ideas billowing out.  Each area I examine where my interests are.  I haven't decided yet, what is the apple of my eye.  Yet.  I'm honing in on some fascinating self-discovery.




Take a look at yourself inside.  I mean deep, deep inside.  And, answer these questions to yourself, privately, so that only you can hear, yet spoken aloud.  



What are your answers for:

* Regardless of religion, would you end up at the Pearly Gaits or hanging in between, floating .... 

* Have you ever killed anything or anyone?

* Have you ever betrayed your mother or treated her unjust?

*Do you think you are selfish?

*How are you selfless?

In a quick reaction, answer the most instinctively honest that you can.

a) i am jealous of someone else?
b) i am mad at somebody else?
c) i have regrets about somebody else?
d) i know i could have tried harder but?  what? ___________is your excuse?
e) i don't treat my body as though it were a vessel for health and longevity?
f) i spend money recklessly?
g) i hate my job, boss, husband, wife, brother, sister, Mother, Father?

h) i am mean to other people, kids, animals, bugs, nature, or the environment?
i) i disregard authority.  i have committed a crime.   i have stolen or lied?
j) i say one thing, and then do the opposite?
k) i don't cherish, be faithful, protect my wife? protect my husband's heart?
l) i don't do more than my share, i complain about others, i make up excuses?
m) my, me, myself, mine are the only thing i care about?
n) i live with fear, abandonment, hurt, violence from someone else?
o) i care about others long before myself, i am gullible, i am too ___________
           (tall, short, fat, skinny, old, young, shy, bad, unworthy, unhygienic)?
p) people have given up on me? people don't care about me? people have abandoned me?
q) i question authority?  i question the "cause" before i start on the "effect"?

A long dark tunnel

As my chest tightens I battle the thoughts trying to invade me.  Which is worse?  The memories or the fear of the future? Watching a wedding yesterday torpedos me back to memories on how I ended up marrying him.  After years of uncertainty, we seem to blend and melt into a family plot of four children from the other's previous marriages.  Symbols of failure which expound so much joy, proving that the cup is really half full.   Feeling failure is probably not unique to the mid life crisis era of those begotten to be forgotten.  Yet there are so many others who can expell and expand into the world as one of the greats.   It doesn't seem like any of the greats didn't feel failure.  That chest heavy, air sucking the wind out of you until you're almost breathless, while the brain churns.  That is probably a really good description of the feeling of failure. Watching the kids all have a great time, the parents still symbols of a period where manners overruled

A topic that is too judgMENTAL ::... transgenders

Too few role models:   SOURCE A question was posted on QUORA and I felt compelled to respond: Why don't transgender people use the restrooms corresponding to their genitals to try and end the needless transgender bathroom controversy? It is none of our business. This reminds me of things we have to struggle with growing up::…. what IS our identity? What IS our moral standard? Should others have THE right to determine what is best for US? Almost ALL of us in the age of inBETWEENers (born 1960 to 1965, neither Baby Boomers, Generation X, nor Millennials) must REMEMBER what the biggest questions of our day were? If others forgot, I can share with you: Do you or don’t you circumcise your newborn son? SOURCE :  "Boys" by William E. Rochfort  Remember that?   I do. Is it necessary or more to do with mental well being our our son: likeness to daddy. It was something I read avidly read about because sometimes reading becomes “PEACE of MIND”. In this instance,

A worthwhile world to live in

Some of the greatest humanitarians are few and far between.   Mother Theresa was astounding.    She is becoming a SAINT.  Pretty special huh? When a woman can become a SAINT, we know the rights of passage from all our mothers, their mothers and sisters, aunts and cousins have had a greater miracle.  The belief that YES a woman can become a SAINT. What are all of the other SAINTS?  Let me check and BRB (be right back for the newbies and rookies out there:  aka me not that long ago).   AlllllllllRiiiighTY then (as fellow Canadian Jim Carrey would say) ::..... I found the best and most obvious source and website for your spiritual hankerings, wanting to understand catholicism better, or get in touch with a part of your childhood.  More than meets the eye, or soul for that matter, is this website:  catholic.org for anything and everything Catholic where I went on the hunt for what the other SAINTS are ..... and WOWzers, catholic.org had a whole whack of them.  So many, you can lo
