Giving Up On People

I saw a quote that just about makes my blood boil because it makes it just that much harder for a person to heal on their own personal journey.  In the quote, words were stated that its ok to give up on people because they don't care about their own healing or give the appearance that they don't.  Maybe you could make some type of an argument that this is the case, but like most feel good thoughts on the internet these days, this quote is more hurtful than helpful.

A healer's job is not to sit there and pass judgment on a person as to when they should care, when they should be ready to heal or move ahead.  It may feel good and give you credibility, but it really misses the point of healing.

A healer's job is to be there with someone out of pure and unconditional love.  While you  may think you know what is best for someone, most likely you do not know what is going on in the neural synapses of their mind and body.  You may claim that you do, but the only person that knows that is the individual walking their own path.

Transitions and Transformations

Lately, I've had so many moments that have stretched me, pushed me, bumped me, and at times they have knocked me down.  While it has been intense lately, I'm still going through major moments of transitions and transformations.  Things are unfolding even as I write these words.

Often we ask for things and we seek things out, but they don't come packaged in the way we expect.  All too often, we look for them in a prepackaged box, only to discover that this is not how they arrive.  When this happens, we often miss them because in our own human insight, if it isn't what we are looking for, we don't see it.

About a year ago, I got a call at the last minute to go down and do a computer install job.  It was on a Sunday and I thought, sure - why not?  I was struggling for income and work at the time.  When I went down to the work site, I saw that it was very chaotic and everyone was trying to figure it out, while trying to train people such as myself.  Little did I realize that this day would open up into so much more for me and become a very strong source of income and fulfillment.  I thought I would never find work that was fun to do and something I looked forward to getting up in the morning and working on.

Money Behind Anonymous Comments

More and more, all news media is a major turn off these days.  If it was something that added to the discussion, it would be one thing, but more often than not, it is something that degrades humanity.  If you look at the real reason behind anonymous comments on news sites, you will often find it is all about the money.

Recently in the Orlando Sentinel, one of their columnists wrote an article about anonymous comments.  He was very correct in what he wrote, but unfortunately his employer will not do anything about stopping this practice.  It is not in their best interest to stop them, because it ultimately brings in money.  Of course, it is interesting that his column is drawing a great deal of criticism by the very people that are part of the problem.

News is not news these days.  News it not about informing you.  News is nothing more than a tabloid press designed to draw you in, engaging your ego and adding some fear, to the point where you need more of it.  News is about exciting you and upsetting you so you will come back and pay attention to more of what the crafty creators know will continue this relationship.  Yet many people continue to consume what they think "news" is just because they are mesmerized by the illusion of news.
