Finding the Light!

Here’s the thing: If you have to have an enemy outside of yourself to justify your existence….you are wrong. I don’t give a flip if you are right wing, left wing, or a wing nut, the problem isn’t the other person, it is you!

I am so tired of my conservative friends and my liberal friends pestering me like some 5 year-olds to get me to hold their hands and validate their beliefs so they can feel okay about themselves. They keep shoving their new “toy” in my face and acting like I’m suppose to be all thrilled and impressed. Piss off!

Why do you think a toddler like Donald Trump could get elected to the highest office in the land? Ever hear of a mirror of self reflection? Of course you haven’t. If you had, you would already know what I am talking about. You cannot read the signals on the trail because you are simply a greenhorn thrashing through the wilderness of life trying to find a trail…any trail.

You didn’t get here by yourself. You were led here. God isn’t some mythical being up in the sky that is suppose to fix everything. God isn’t some moral professor of proper behavior who punishes the wicked. God doesn’t need an enemy to love Himself. God is Love. Pure and simple Love. No rules and laws, no judgements, no preferred ideology…just pure Controlled Love. If you don’t get that, then this is why you are a moron thrashing around the wilderness of life trying to find your trail. Your chosen enemies aren’t going to show you where the trail is. They can’t find it either. This is madness. The whole world is delusional.

Do any of you “glory hounds” think that you can improve on the sunset? Have some suggestions for the sunrise? Everything is already fixed!! You just have to come to terms with your environment and let it in.

If you are out in the wilderness and trying to find the trail so you can get back to your camp or home and you run into some person who is sweating profusely and slobbering mucus from his or her mouth screaming that they have found God’s trail, you might not want to follow their lead. If you have a leader who is screaming insults at his “enemies” and throwing dishes against the wall, don’t ask him where the trail is. I can’t believe that I have to explain this. If a “don Quixote” type approaches you about some mythical enemies who are about to take over your neighborhood, this isn’t sufficient reason to arm yourself to the teeth. You don’t want to start looking at your neighbors and seeing windmills.

While I am at it, a big shout out to the media. There is no entertainment in your desperate attempts to paint over our human-ness with your dark colors of desolation and despair. Yes our world is filled with unfortunate situations and desperate people because we haven’t yet learned to deal with our own shit, but this isn’t suppose to be the fodder for you having a job. Ditto to those who make themselves feel important by pointing out that they are all so more intellectually superior to those “other” people. We had better start figuring out that the enemy is within instead of outside of us or we are all going to suffer the “Battle of the Windmills” and probably sooner than later.
