It is Sunday night and around 9:45 pm PST. I am having a little difficulty with not thinking about Brian and the numerous people I know who are no longer on this plane of existence. I am not sure how many people actually believe in a Heaven or Hell or if our spirits simply move tp another realm of reality we can not see. On a personal level I think there is too much evidence which points towards other levels of existence. To me it makes to much sense for the possibility of other planes of existence. Allegedly there are people who can talk with the spirits of dead people and others who claim they are reincarnations of people from the past. The staggeringly deep belief, coupled with the knowledge only these past people could of known, points to the fact these are no parlor tricks.
Any way a person chooses to think there is one thing for certain. Until we actually have a person who died for a few days and came back, we will never truly know. There have literally been too many who I have known personally that are no longer with us. I could not even have a belief in the number if I was forced to guess. It must be over 150 though, easily.
Where they reside or if they simply stopped existing is anyone’s guess. All I can say is as the number keeps growing, I try to do better, in regards to communicating, having patience, treating myself and other people better, sharing my lessons I have learned, try to think less of my personal gains and more towards how I can help in regards to helping stop and bringing more awareness to the fact we, as a race, have a long way to go in respect to not being bias, racist, picking on weaker people because of the power we feel from acting in that way.
In general, being more aware of the choice we have to not be mean, small minded or acting ignorant towards other people’s feelings. On the flip side of that coin, the people who have been mistreated need to not act mean to other people because it is continuously swinging gate that never stops. Especially when we all do not put in the effort to be a better person. When we know people who are not nice to other people, for whatever reason, we need to speak up and support the person being attacked. Of course there are exceptions to this, if the person who has the bad fortune of being targeted has broken the morale code we live by, then these people need to be corrected. At least in my mind they do.
It may not be violence that is imposed but a good tongue lashing is sometimes a necessary so people understand there are right and wrong ways to treat people. If these people believe the rules should not apply to them, I find it sometimes takes a beating to understand the serious nature of doing the right thing. The police may not agree with my philosophy but sometimes a necessary punch in the head will stop a person from placing atrocities against numerous people.
It would and will be easier if we can properly raise our children to help stop the name calling and bullying that goes on in elementary schools. I realize this would not be easy for a child to have that much insight to understand when and where they should step in. It would be easier if all the people with children got on the same page. Again this is something that would take a large group of people ,to be open minded, in the same way. I am touching on issues that are extremely complexed and even though I would be open to have that discussion, we are not going there. Hope everyone has a great beginning to their week.
