Welcome back. I know many of my readers catch a blog here and there. Few are long term followers and some people have said they would read, but eventually forgot or never really intended to do so in the first place, but for some reason placated me into believing they would read it. I know that people are often tired of hearing the TRUTH, heaven forbid... I realize that at times the world can seem dark and grey. People want to be entertained and distracted from the REALITY of the world we live in instead of looking hard into the mirror and staring face to face with the person who is MOST OF OUR own WORST ENEMIES.
I don't claim to possess all the critical knowledge of the world, galaxy, or universe. I am not a major in theology, anthropology, or psychology, but rather I am a humble man who loves to cook and loves to write. I do not ask for much from life, but I DO ask those who read my blogs to please give me feedback, whether you agree or disagree with my stances or opinions on certain issues. What's for sure is that people love boobs. I can hear the peanut gallery... kinda sounds like Beavis and Butthead... "Hehe, uh, hehe... this is it Beavis... we're finally gonna score!"
Sorry I have to be the bearer of bad news... why do they always have to kill the messenger? The truth is that I don't want to write a happy blog about boobs or sex... boy that sure gets the blood flowing and might actually get someone to tune in and read an entire blog instead of just skimming through and speed reading the page until a spontaneous word like BONER stands out above the rest... why do you think I capitalize words in the middle of a sentence? It is NOT because I don't understand basic grammar... even though I DID get a "C" most years in elementary through high school in English class. Today I would rather talk about broken promises...
It seems ironic to me that back in the day, even when I was a younger man how simple things like a signature or a handshake actually MEANT SOMETHING besides foregone formality that no one holds dear any longer. These simple acts used to signify a person's HONOR and COMMITMENT, often used to seal a deal or a promise to repay a debt. But WHERE oh WHERE has this honor disappeared to? I mean, people run up credit cards, car payments, mortgages, etc... all without really having the intention to pay their debts... or they started with the "best intentions"... however the road to hell is paved with the "best intentions".
So what does it all mean? Why have we broken down this way? Can we ever recover our integrity? Or is it just a downward spiral that will continue to send both the citizen and the nation into OBLIVION?
Okay, admittedly, the last sentence was a little dramatic, but it is not really a stretch of the imagination to understand a simple concept. Each citizen is a representative of the WHOLE. Follow me please... The higher the PERSONAL debt goes up, with each unpaid bill, the over-all NATIONAL debt is continuing to rise as well. Now YOU as a person are NOT directly responsible for the asinine spending by the White House or the Defense Department or the DHS. YOU did not want to buy bombs, bullets, and bullshit... NO... you just wanted a nice car, a stylish cell phone, laptop computer, jewelry, fancy home, rock star lifestyle, and a plethora of STUFF that you DON'T REALLY NEED... it was all just so innocent when you were keeping up with the Jones'... Well, that is until the bill comes in.
I'm going to break away from topic for a moment, because I want to shed some light upon an otherwise grim topic. I want to talk about relationships.
The aforementioned title to this blog also relates to relationships. It is my sad belief that something terrible has occurred in my lifetime. Due to the fact that there are TOO MANY people on this planet, the value of ONE single life has diminished, and I think people can feel it on a basic level as they feel their personal importance devalued because people are smarter as individuals than the exact same person is when he/she functions as an idiot within society as a whole. There is a strange phenomena that when otherwise intelligent people get around other humans it's like the brain gets thrown out the window, logic gets a back-seat, and people start acting like SHEEPLE among the HERD.
This along with the other by-products of the "throw-away" society we live in... there really is NO honor system left. We tell the people we OWE promises, but break them. We tell the people we LOVE promises, but we break them. We tell OURSELVES lies and promises, but we break them as well.... because we have NO commitment, especially to the TRUTH, OR OTHER PEOPLE. We set out to mean well, but greed and fear out-vote or out-rule the otherwise COMPETENT INTELLECTUAL MIND into the negligent spiral of HERD MENTALITY. I have said it before and I feel the need to repeat and keep saying it again for those who have lost a sense of what is REAL and what is the Matrix of illusion. THINGS HAVE USE. PEOPLE HAVE VALUE. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. And yet so many people, especially Americans have their priorities fucked up. We let corporations tell us what is what instead of standing up and defending our OWN HONOR and that of our fellow brothers and sisters. We are INDEBTED SLAVES to a system that is hell-bent on destroying us as individuals and our very way of life.
Lack of honor (lies, fear, and greed) is what caused us to start two wars as a nation, un-Constitutionally in the foreign lands of Iraq and Afghanistan... and potentially yet ANOTHER war as we have Iran surrounded and at boiling point for WWIII.
If you make a promise, honor it. If you love something or someone, defend it. If you have something, respect it. If you want it to last, take care of it. These are NOT abstract concepts NOR are they the stuff of PIPE DREAMS... THIS IS REALITY. It is much simpler than we have made it, because we live a life of boredom, constantly trying to alleviate this mundane monotony via ANY MEANS NECESSARY, and often many means UNNECESSARY.
For now I bid you all adieu as you spend the next minute pondering this message, if even at all. I do not have all the answers and I cannot change the past. I cannot see the future for it does NOT really exist. All that is real is the forever NOW and each "day" as the light emerges from the horizon only gives each of us another chance to do things the RIGHT and PROPER way. Today is a PRESENT, for it is a gift... of life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness. Enjoy it while you can. The rest of the SHEEPLE and MORALITY POLICE are coming to take it away, hee hee, ha ha, ho ho... to the funny farm where the flowers chirp and the birds bloom, and everyone is happy... Nope life isn't a Dr. Demento song either... it's ONLY what YOU make of it... so how about making it a good one?
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Honor. Truth. Compassion. Empathy. Silver lining.
