The Age of Smearing

We live in an extremely depressing age one of the main reasons for this is the act of smearing it has only gotten worse because of Youtube and social media.   Organizations whose job it is to distory indivual’s families take away their livelihoods that is where we are.   Everyone is affaird to say anything we are all forced into slience.   Once they go after any entertainment which should be  an escape there will be  nothing left because no one’s ideas will ever be challenged.   The thing is most people have to go to college or graduate school or they can learn a trade.   I see only the act of smearing get worse wheather that is from the left or right I do not support either.   I do not like to view things through the lese of left and right but either way smearing to slience anyone that you disagree has to stop and it must stop.   Or we will not have a country left or we will not have a contury that we want to live.   These organizations whose only purpose is to distory anyone that  they find objectionable we never stop unless people stop apologizing because we can’t go back in time and get rid of social media so the only recourse is to not apologize or give.   Most young people have to go to college and graduate school of some kind in order to make a living and there are so many young people who are now petrified that if they say the wrong thing or laugh at the wrong joke they can have their futures destroyed in an instant.   No student should fear or have  to comprise their values in order to graduate or make a living.   But unfortunate that is where we are.   If I were to deny this I would be denying an  inconvenient and uncomfortable truth.  

Dealyed Gratifacation

What is delayed gratification?   I do not know but it is an extremely important lesson anyone can teach their kids and themselves because we live in an age of convenience where everything is instant.   People are told if they want to find any information on a topic to just Google it.   Well I can tell you from my own experience you can not find information just by Googling it.   I do not believe we are evolving as a species I think for the most part we are de evolving or the first word that I thought of is regressing.   For example: Dave Rubin now calls the left the “regressive  left”.   Dave used to work for The Young Turks TYT which I support I support independent media I think everyone should if they can because of the risk.   I support TYT even though I disagree with their point of view.   During the cave man days if they did not adapt and find a way they  would not survive.   I think people constantly having to be reached either through social media or email is killing us it only causes people to be on edge and anxious.   How I long for the days of less technology because it is controlling many people’s minds.   Are we controlling machines  or are machines controlling us?   The answer:  is obvious machines are controlling us.   I think constantly have to be reached is a very narcisstic approach to life I wish it would stop and it needs to stop.   My last post whatever it was because I  am not sure what it will be called in the future.   I asked an extremely important question that I have been thinking about and worrying about for years How do you do what you want to do without everyone around you hating you?   The realization came to me in a sermon where the pastor posted this question: and I am probably paraphrasing this but this is what I remember: the question is how many people will not do a “good work” because of what their friends and family might think?   He said that there are things that God puts in our hearts for a particular reason or purpose.   But that many never feel that void.   I do believe that if you do not have God in your life mediation something that is greater then humanity you will either self-destructed or not be a greatful person.   I am an extremely greatful person one of the reasons I have no expectations in my life that is why when good things happen to me I  am ecstatic because I was not expecting it.   I am not sure what the secret to this  allusive thing called happiness is because I think happiness kind of ebbs and flows it is not a constant.   Gina Grad worked for TYT at one time she made the point on Adam Carolla’s podcast that they were not stupid people that they have a progressive viewpoint.   I just think people get way to caught up in the numbers and views and when that is your whole identity they loose prospective they turn into a monster if they are not careful.   Here is the thing: there is no reason why Gina and TYT could not remain friends has for Dave Rubin I am not so sure.   Dave is now considered a conservative host with his internet talk show The Rubin Report but he has said his politics have not changed.   But it one of the reasons I do not consider myself to be a conservative yet I was hoping after four years ago I would have reached a realization of some kind but it has not happened.   I consider myself to be a repbulican only because I hate the left I think it is only a destructive force not just in politics but in art entertainment education etc.   Dennis Prager has said many times: “everything the left touches it ruins”.   I think this more has to do with values then politics.   If I believed this to be only about politics and not values I would not care.  

How do you do what you want to do with making everyone around you hate you?

I have one question I have been pondering and wondering about for quit some time.   How do you live the life you want to live without everyone in your life hating you?   I realize most people are unable to live their dreams because most of the time dreams are just that dreams.   But I think for anyone to constanly chase after money that will probably make them feel shallow.   Because there are a lot of people families that are financially secure but they are very unhappy at the exact same time.   I think because most people are honestly just trying to get by they are trying to keep what they have earned.   Because most never reach their full potential in life.   Especially now there are so many businesses that it is their goal to distory your life so they can make you go away.   I feel that most people have way way too much time on their hands.   I think most people that truly follow their dreams they did not take no for an answer because they have nothing else going.   They truly pay a price for that they sacrifice time with their families ect.   But to reach their full potential and do that good work they must take that chance.   The thing is most of the time you can only see bites and pieces of what God’s plan is for you.   But how do you accomplish this without  trying to please everyone around you or not having everyone around you not like you?   If we lose our “sense of humor we are not going to make it as people.   We are just going to walk around feeling guilty angry envious depressed and anxious.   Now not everyone will agree on what is funny and what is not but most of the time great humor is found in tension.   Most of the comdey that is mainstream I am not a fan but I do not want to take that away from those who enjoy it.   We have a huge issue in this country with tattling because everyone has access to their phones which I think is one of the worst things to happen in human history anyone can upload anything and present it anyway they wish.   I think the left’s goal is to get rid of any entertainment that they find objectionable.   I used to believe that the conservates christans were the ones who went after any entertainment that could influence their children in a negative way which I against as well.   Now it is the left if you play their game they will always have something that they want to distory that  it is so confuession because many think that if they go in  lock step with the left they will be okay but they never be satisfied until all entertainment that the left finds unexcitable gone.   This is not a generationally belief of why can it be like it was this has to do with freedom and the kind of country we want to leave the next generations.   Now with everything gone or taken down we all will have no escapes or release which is the purpose  of entertainment an escape if that is deprived from us God help us all!  

EGO: Exiting God out

EGO means Exiting God out.   That without that fulfillment or that force with in a person it is  just empty calories.   In other words: Anyone can have everything fame cars mansions etc.   For example: Why are so many celebrities those who seem to have it all why are they miserable and conflicted.   One of the  many reasons could be they have had  everything done for them  and they have no responsibilities.   When anyone has someone else  take care of everything for anyone that person will begin  to atrophy or they will have so many around pulling them in so many different directions they may become extremely paranoid.   Because now everyone is looking for anyone creative to crash and burn because they hold them to a standard that they themselves can not live up.   But they can feel better by judging everyone else and show how moral they really are.   These are the same people who want everyone to be sheep and if they do not go in lock step with everything that they hold up as: their own standard they will distory those indivuals lives just to show how righteous they really are.   I do not want anyone to have to comprise either their character and values just to provide for themselves and their families but that is unfortunaly where we are.   My only hope is that more and more people do not give in because if they give in they are giving those power over them.    Hopefully if more and more people do not cave these businesses will go away it will take courage but I hope it can be accomplished not for just this time but for future generations that will have to carry these burdens.  

The probelm with "appolizing"

The problem with apologizing that once anyone does it they essentially have power over you but once you do not give them what they want they will not have that power they wish to have.   The word progressive means now not to evolve and grow but to constanly look through a prism of the past and to find offense anywhere it can be found.   The left has this unbelievable high standard to which they themselves cannot live up.   So the left has a different set of rules but anyone else breaks any of those changing rules that person must be distory at any cost.   I think much of this is out of boredom and group think.   People are joining groups to find meaning.   They are not finding any in religion or something that is greater than they are so they must become social justice warriors.   “SJWS”   There are faiths that teach social justice but what I think it will never end.   If the end game is to give people of a certain race something without earning it that will distory that person.   If they are unable to work or to provide for themselves that is different.   I need to make that distinction because there are those who are unable to provide for themselves to look after themselves.   They are either born with conditions that limit them either psychal limitations or mental.   Those are the ones who society should have compassion because they will have to work harder and burn more engery then those who are able bodied.   If anyone believes they can find meaning with #hastags on Twitter and Facebook or social media in general they are wrong that will  only led them down a path of angier depression despire and parnoia.   How  many people get meaning from how many likes or views they get on social media or by the number of views a video they post on Youtube?   How many people spend all their time looking for comments in a section just be offended or to cut someone down just because they can?   These next generations coming up I truly am worried about the guilty and shame that they will constanly deal in which most cases will be for no reason.   Private talk is not an indication of a person’s character and should not matter.   This is not a media war between left and right.   I think way too many people get caught in we are on a team there for I must hate everything about them and agree with the other side on everything.   Which is a very dangerous way to think.   One of the problems I see that is demoralizing is anyone that does not go alone with everything a group believes their jobs livelihoods families can be destroyed in an instant with just the click of a button.   I do not want the younger generations to be burden with all of this unnecessary guilty it is not fair or compassionate it is cruel.   There is no other word for it.   I worry about this contury because it is the last hope we have for freedom.   The more you think about yourself the more unhappy the more misery you will cause yourself and others.   The more a person looks  outside of themselves I think they will be more fulfilled.   But it is a complex issue because if a person is thinking about others all the time that can be a heavier burden on them.   I have to admit I struggle with this issue constanly because I fear being selfish.   But I constanly want to grow spiritually and emotionally that is squandered or not even thought about by most people but my question: is why?   Because it is hard and painful because it is a constant process.   If a person is easily offened or is looking to be a offened at any given moment they have no chance of being happy or fulfilled.  

An Impoisble Standard

I am truly troubled by what is happening right now in this wonderful country but in the United States it is only an experiment it always has been.   It can go away just like that.   Everything that is happening right now indviuals are going after everyone for jokes and humor and everything else.   It is an impossible standard that no one can ever at hear.   The left and the right both do this I see it more done by the left but it really has to stop.   When someone dies that is all I need to know.   I do not need to know about their personal lives who they are their real names their families etc.   It must stop and needs to stop.   I believe social media phones are truly the absolute worst thing that has ever happened in human history.   Because being woke changes every mintue of every day.   Something that bothers me with Youtube and the like anyone can upload anything to distory anyone that they wish.   I guess there is nothing that can be done but I think it should be and needs to be done.   I really do care what people think of me that is why I am scared to say anything but I have to say I do feel much better.   But at the same time I feel conflicted at the same time.   It is sort of like religion it does not answer everything.   Human beings are complex everyone needs clarity everyone needs ways to grief wheather that is through humor or whatever but everyone needs it.   I think social media emails Youtube causes everyone to be miserable.   I think going after history and getting rid of everything that is being looked at through the premise of today it is dangerous and scary at the exact same time.   Not giving into social media and the media is the best thing everyone can do.   I am not fan of Fox News CNN HLN MSNBC etc.   Basically anything to do with the media and the rest of it I am not a fan.   I do support the media’s right but I do not want anything to do with them.   I find the media to be evil and not caring.   I think many are bad people or they are naïve but I think their soul gets corrupted.   Wheather that is for fame notoriety or anything else but it only leads to depression loneliness and paranoid.   I do not think it can be understood the damage that social media emails and just the media in general is doing to us psychologically but I think the effects will last a lifetime.   So what to do ban media social media phones emails etc.   The answer I would like it to be is yes but that is not a possibility at this point so the answer is to use it responsibly!   But most do not and that is the biggest issue I see.   The damage being done to young people is catastrophic.   Chilldern getting their self-worth and a steam from Youtube and their social media following has only led to anxiety and sadness.   I only think it will get worse.   The best thing for me about this pandemic has been I have been able to realize what is the most important to me which is my family and faith.   I am really trying not to internalize so much I think that is a huge issue for me.   I will internalize things that I can control but most things are out of our control.   Most of the things that happen to us we are not prepared.   When a loved one dies a parent a brother or the saddest thing the death of a child there is no answer or explanation that I can give.   I am extremely close to my brother he is my best friend I am greatful to have him in my life.   When I think about it there is very little support in this world and sometimes the ones who are closest.   I am often surprised by people whom you belive  will be the most supportive but they are not and will never be.   Ronnie James Dio: wrote "that the world is full of kings and queens will blind your eyes and steal your dreams".  Meaning it is heaven when people tell you how  good they will treat you and hell when you realize it was all a lie".     I truly believe in God’s holy sprit not to come off as condescending which I worry about all the time.   But I have felt God’s holy sprit when I believed my life to be empty.   If I try to feel my life with distractions everyone’s life will be competly lost and depressed.   But that does not mean that we should cut out the joys and the escapes we have but keep everything in prospective.   I am worried about going to small groups because I am not sure how to explain my faith to people without offending them.   Those who use religion to explain everything can blind them and will seem inauthentic.   Religion and faith does not explain everything because we are all complex human beings with contradictions that may make absolutely no sense to us.   If everyone tries to adhere to everything that is being taught in their religion what will happen all of us will constanly fight ourselves and will end up distorting ourselves and others.   Eventually everyone will lose their faith.   I do not want to admit that I do not think anyone does but everyone will but hopefully with his holy sprit we will regain it we have to be strong enough to lose it and also regain it.   I am not good and have never been dealing with reality I do not try to shy a way from it but I am not the best at dealing with it.   Jesus came to this earth to save dead people because everyone is dead and he became human to give us life.   Because so many people are competly dead.   God said Jesus came to this earth so we may live. A lot of people think Jesus came to this earth to make bad people good but in reality to give them life.    Theodicy: is the vindication defense of God’s goodness and omnipotence in view of the existence of evil.   The world everything seems to be falling apart people are losing their jobs loved ones have died at enormous rates because of this virus but I think it is extremely necessary to look with in and most are unable to do so because they are concerned with keeping their job taking care of their families and their health.   Through this pandemic it has forced me and hopefully others to reflected and to keep everything in it is proper prospective.   I am not sure what the secret to happiness is because I think it can be fickle but I know what will not bring them contentment thinking of yourself to be a victim.   I am extremely greatful for everything in my life one of the reasons I have no expectations of any kind.   I think especially young people think they will be fulfilled by how many followers they have on social media and the vindication from others but that will not happen the only way it can happen is by being greatful and having meaning.   That does not mean we should get rid of pleasures in our lives because everyone needs an escape something to dull the pain something that makes them happy.   The holy sprit is needed and a must have if we do not have his holy spirit the country will not survive.
