Hello, Sweet Soul ... I've Missed You, Too

I would like to bring into the light a comment you made within your excellent (as always) post. You said, "This man does not sound as if he has anyone's best interests in mind other than his own."

After reading more of this situation, please allow me to respectfully disagree with you on this one point. (Shock. Gasp. Hehe.)

Here is my personal revision of that single statement:

"This man does not sound as if he has ANYONE'S best interest in mind ... not EVEN his OWN!!!!"

He is doing nothing ... taking no steps at all whatsover ... to better his station in life; i.e. accountability, finances, food, permanent dwelling, relationships, security, trust, etc.

Would you agree? Disagree?

To Nannerlb:

Love is great, love is ideal ... (I'm talking about HUMAN love here - not Agape - even though most often they are confused) ... but this kind of "love" cannot cure/help a dangerously unhealthy environment (or mindset) by itself, alone.

Of course, we humans like to think that "it" can.

Love conquers all!

Love will prevail!

All you need is Love!

But!

Ask God if it can.

Shoot. If you don't believe in God, ask the Pope (a well-respected, often revered, carnal human being) if it can ... ask our current world leaders if it can ... crap, ask the local librarian down the street if it can.

The fact of the matter is, human love cannot heal the wounds of this sick society ... a society that is getting sicker and sicker.

Why not? Because humans are humans, and humans ARE conditional. I barely & rarely withhold a sad, ironic chuckle when I hear the sincere, yet misguided, words: "unconditional love" come out of a conditional human's mouth.

A mother's first obligation/responsiblity is to protect her children ... yes, even unborn children ... yes, yes, even children yet to be conceived ... I'd NEVER even entertain a fluttering daydream about bringing an innocent child into an unstable atmosphere such as yours.

I already mourn the children who are subjected to this world as it is today ... so WHY in the WORLD would I want to bring a child into a careless, clueless, helpless, homeless, honorless, jobless, pointless, prideless, rudderless, selfless/Self-less, spineless,(need I go on? continue on this path? surely you know where I'm heading?)

Protect yourself NOW so you can protect your future children ... LISTEN to that voice in your tummy called a gut. Stop arguing with it, and heed its warning before it's too late.

Please.

God bless.

Dang! Who could have known I had a sermonette in me this late at night? I sure as hell didn't.

Sorry.

Good night everybody.

(Sheepish smile.)

You'll be in my thoughts, Nannerlb ... and you, too, Sweet Soul. Tweet
