Crazy Contradictions: A World Full of Confusion!

Crazy Contradictions

Crazy Contradictions. The world is full of confusion…One minute, you’re eating a delicious meal, and the next, you’re staring down the barrel of a damn gun. 

Why?

A dumb-ass, ruthless no-good thug, wants your money and your life in some instances!

And…then another time you’re walking down the street, and from out of nowhere… you’re dodging bullets and running for your …(MF)life. 

The world is filled with confusion, so whats’ my point? Fake news reigns supreme, dumb ass people grazing in the groves, spreading outrageous lies. 

It’s enough to piss you off and make you go insane.

Indeed,The world is full of contradictions and confusion, so let’s look at some.

Why is the world so confused!

First, There’s so much going on in the world, and making sense of it can be hard. Everything is just a gigantic mess; we’re all stumbling around like a chicken with its head cut off!

And then there are some crazy people makings ignorant decisions in this world, and the most intelligent person in the room …can still be completely wrong about something.Read

Second… sometimes, the most obvious answer is the right one. Other times, the most obvious answer is the wrong one. (decision making)

Third…, given that there is a deep-seated contradiction in our lives that the more we learn and know, the more we are cognizant and realize how little we know;

And let alone how small we are compared to the rest of the world.

The causes of confusion?

There are many causes of this confusion. People are unsure of what to believe or where to turn. Many feel lost and alone where they are feeling lost in life, losing interest in life, or feeling confused and frustrated simultaneously.

In addition, an increasing amount of fake news is being spread on social media. (2016 election Trump won the election.) …NOT!

Another is the breakdown of families and relationships, and the pace of change in the world is also a contributor.

How can we find our way?

In light of the fake news, political unrest and a general sense of unease have become the norm. But the question is why?

 Well, in my opinion, in such a world, it’s more important than ever …to be able to think for yourself and to be able to assess the information that you’re presented with critically.

However, while thinking for yourself, you must also listen to what others say…their opinions!

Although it’s difficult to stay patient and tolerate other people’s opinions, we must, if only for a moment. 

If you think about it, life is always changing. 

We might not be able to make sense of what’s going on around us or even understand our feelings at times;

 Because they’re so mixed up in all these other things that are happening – but one thing is for sure: if nobody feels differently too, nothing will stay balanced without any change coming back again!

Conclusion:Crazy Contradictions

 It feels like the world is spinning out of control. One minute, you’re minding your business and eating a delicious meal, and the next, you’re staring down the barrel of a damn gun. 

Whether it’s terror attacks in Europe or mass shootings in America, it seems like we can’t go more than a day without something terrible happening.

 And it’s not just murders and violence that make us anxious – natural disasters seem to be happening more frequently, too. 

So what do we do? How do we protect ourselves from all this madness? All we can do is keep our heads up and stay strong.

How You Treat Others: Shows Who You Are2!

JusMee

How you treat othersHow You Treat Others: We’ve all heard the saying, “treat others as you would want to be treated.” In other words, if you want people to be kind to you, you should be kind to them. 

It’s a simple concept, but it’s often forgotten because people can be so damn selfish and only think about themselves. 

That is to say, “you reap what you sow.” So next time you’re tempted to be nasty towards another, remember what goes around comes around, right back at you.

To clarify, it means that if we sow bad things, we reap bad things.

Therefore, the world would be much nicer and better if everyone just thought about how their actions affect others. 

 In the meantime…How you treat others!

  • If you want people to be honest with you, you should be honest with them. 
  • Being respectful to others, you’ll be respected in return.
  • If you want people to be nice, you should be nice to them. 
  • It’s all about giving out what you want back in return. 

So next time you’re tempted to act in a way that is less than ideal (like a jackass), think about how you would want to be treated and act accordingly.

 The world will be a better place for it. How you treat others

“To change the world’s needs is not in the hand of everyone. It is in the works of those who consciously contribute to making it a better place.“

The bottom line is this…

Being generous and giving others the respect and attention you desire… increases the chances that they will do the same for you.

 Another factor is some people want to be treated like a VIP; Guess what? Treat others like royalty if you want to be treated like a VIP. It’s the best way to ensure you get the treatment you want.

Conclusion:

 The Golden Rule is one of the most important lessons we learn in life, and it’s just as relevant when interacting with people in general.

Overall, we all have the opportunity to positively impact the world by following this simple rule – give out what you want back in return.

Finally, what will you do today to show kindness and respect to those around you?

Lifes’ Lessons: 👁Looking Thru The Rear-view Mirror!

JusMee

 

Lifes’ Lessons; As I sit here, looking through my rearview mirror, I can’t help but think about all the lessons life has taught me. 

Whereas some were learned the easy way, while others were learned the hard way, no matter how they were acquired, each lesson has played an important role in shaping who I am. 

Now– I’m not going to lie; there have been times when I wished I could go back in time. Mostly to fix careless mistakes that I’ve made. 

But if I were to go back, I’d miss out on all the great things I learned.

So, if you’re feeling stuck and are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, allow me to share some of life’s most important lessons with you.

Roe v Wade: 40 Years Later!

JusMee
Roe vs wade

Is it a sad time in this country? I would say it is, and let me tell you why; Donald Trump…

The Repugnant Beelzebub former President is an infuriating jackass, a pain in the ass, and is full of shit. 

Trump is proving the platform for his followers to spew hatred and bigotry. It is even sadder when people listen to him and subscribe to his demented worldview!

The uncensored message…

Roe v wade

Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., is just one example of the type of person drawn to Trump’s message. 

It is sad when an insidious idiotic sitting Congressman such as Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., is elected into a public office and can get away with saying repulsive bullshit such as “a historic victory for white life.” 

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, that nutcase said preposterous bullshit at a campaign rally with former President Donald Trump.

As if that’s not enough…

Not only…but also, she thanked President Trump on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America. For stacking the Supreme Court.

This kind of rhetoric has no place in our society, and it’s especially dangerous coming from someone in a position of power. 

Additionally, this kind of thinking is dangerous and exactly the kind of shit that Trump thrives on. 

People are morally bankrupt…

It is time for people to wake the hell up and realize that Donald Trump is nothing but a charlatan who is more interested in dividing the country than he is in actually making America great again.

Sadly, this is just one example of the bigoted, divisive language that has become all too common under the Trump administration and since left lost his reelection bid.

His overtones…

Whether calling Mexicans “rapists” or referring to African nations as “shithole countries,” Trump has consistently shown contempt for anyone who doesn’t look like him or share his views.

 This kind of xenophobic, racist rhetoric is not only disgusting, but it’s also destructive. It fuels hatred and division.

And it’s time to stop this kind of bigoted, divisive rhetoric; better yet, it should be outlawed in this country when it is morally wrong!

Here is an interesting point: ROE v. Wade

Why is banning abortions necessarily an issue when it is nobody’s business except the Woman seeking it while allowing narcissistic lunatics to occupy a public office is damn insane. How about making that a crime!

As you know, Roe vs. Wade was overturned, but there is something that is not widely publicized, and that is…

Who Was Jane Roe?Roe

Namely, she was Norma McCorvey, the Woman.

Code-named “Jane Roe,” McCorvey sought an abortion after becoming pregnant in 1969 but was stopped by Texas’ restrictive reproductive laws

For the most part, she once proclaimed herself as an advocate for choice and has since flip-flopped on the issue and claimed to be against abortion even though her personal experience helped spark this activism.

That said, McCorvey is a reminder that despite our best efforts, things can change. 

 She …started publicizing her story in the 1980s, advocating for the right to choose. 

But in 1995, she made an abrupt about-face, declaring herself a born-again Christian and a staunch opponent of abortion. 

Soon before she died in 2017, McCorvey changed her story again, claiming that she’d always supported abortion rights.

In an interview for the documentary AKA Jane Roe, she said, “I took [anti-abortion advocates’] money and they put me out in front of the camera and told me what to say, and that’s what I’d said.”

When the documentary’s director asked if it “was all an act,” McCorvey replied, “Yeah. I was good at it, too.”

In her 1994 memoir I Am Roe, McCorvey offered a less cynical view of her place in the fight for reproductive rights.

After thoughts…💐

 Now that Roe v Wade has been overturned, in my opinion, it’s a damn good thing. 

Norma McCorvey, the Woman behind Roe v. Wade, flip-flopped on the issue and claimed she was against abortion even though her personal experience helped spark the activism.

McCorvey’s story is all too common; people change their minds after they’ve been on the front lines of a movement. 

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade doesn’t mean abandoning the fight for abortion rights.

 Still, it underscores the importance of starting fresh and listening to the voices of those who have experienced these issues firsthand.

Why Goodness Comes From the Heart!

JusMee
Goodness comes from the heart
Heart on fire

Goodness comes from the heart…and the world is full of good people. In contrast, we know at least one person with a good heart.

However…

Sadly, the problem is that good people don’t always behave in a good way. 

That said, some are selfish, some are rude, and many more are just damn unkind for no good reason.

 And this leaves us wondering: 

Why? How can those who do so much good on the whole—who give to charity, help others, and care for others—be so bad 👿when it comes to smaller things? 

The idiom best expresses this problem: “Actions speak louder than words. It seems that society has lost sight of what matters most in life and has become preoccupied with appearances, images, and status symbols. 

We have all been victims of false kindness and disingenuous words that don’t align with our actions.

The questions to be answered are:

  • Why does this happen?
  •  What makes us behave in ways that don’t align with our actions? 
  • Why do good people sometimes act unkindly? 
  • And perhaps most importantly: What can we do about it?

What is the problem with most of our society?

As our world becomes increasingly globalized, different cultures interact and influence one another, which can be wonderful. 

Still, we must be aware of each other’s strengths and weaknesses to learn from each other without being negatively affected. 

Also, 

Western culture has given us many positive and enriching things—democracy, the rule of law, and respect for the individual—which has given rise to a society that is excessively focused on power, self-interest, and selfish gain. 

Moreover, 

We have become a society that is excessively focused on what is seen rather than unseen. 

In other words, we are so focused on the material things in life (status, appearances, financial gain, etc.) that we tend to ignore the things that make life truly worthwhile—such as love, kindness, and generosity.

Goodness
Dollars and heart

The reasons why good people behave badly?

People behave badly 🧛‍♂️because they’re unaware of their words and actions’ power. 

They fail to connect what happens in one moment and how it later affects other aspects such as emotions or relationships.

Unpredictable mood swings caused by excessive pride might make you do things that aren’t nice so that others won’t see your errors.

Afterward, their unkindness would cause more harm than good for those who know better but choose ignorance over responsibility.

The power of the heart…❤️

Ultimately, there is something magical and mysterious about the heart. It is the source of all goodness, kindness, and love.

It is also the seat of our deepest wisdom and has the power to move us to greatness and inspire us to be our best selves.

 Yet,

 It is also the seat of our deepest fears and anxieties; it is what makes us feel things deeply and passionately. 🫂

The heart holds our truest, deepest, and most genuine feelings and emotions. 

🧠It is the place within us where our souls connect to our bodies and a place within us where we feel our deepest joy and sorrow. 😭

After all, the heart is what makes us human!!!

How to stop being bad and start being good again!

There are two ways we can change our behavior: we can change our thoughts or our actions. 

If you make a mistake and find yourself behaving unkindly, then all you have to do is think of something or someone else.

 In other words,

 if you behave unkindly, refocus your attention on someone else. Do something good for someone else, or help someone else in any way you can. 

When you find yourself unkind, ask yourself why. Ask yourself what you are feeling and why you feel that way. 

Make a conscious effort to change your behavior and actions, and ask for help if needed.

Goodness comes from the heartHeart
Heart

Conclusion

Goodness comes from the heart. It doesn’t come from what we do or from how we appear. It comes from the place deep inside us where we feel things the most profoundly. 

The world is full of good people who want to do good things and be good people. 

It comes down to one thing: the intention with which we do things. We can choose to do good things for the wrong reasons (e.g., to make ourselves look good), but that doesn’t make it good.

 Whatever you do, do it to do good. Whatever you say, say it intends to do good. 

Finally, whatever you think, think it to do good. And whatever you feel, feel it to do good. That’s all that matters in the long run, and goodness will follow.

Goodness Comes From the Heart!💙
