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.
