Well more in contrast ... I have a beef.
And this is not a place I wanted to state my beefs .. It was more a place to just note down random stuff, light and airy.
But it seems I haven't been posting much lately. Been going through a few things but it's under control so far and looking at my life over all, I still consider myself blessed and lucky in so many ways. I love my family and my friends very much!
My beef is more of what I notice happening around me. I look at it as a silent societal disease... Which seems to be growing into an epidemic. I should not be surprised.
However, it's likened to being on a street car and seeing someone do the most awful, crazy, disgusting thing (whatever it may be) and feeling like you are the only one awake enough to notice it. The other passengers are just going with the flow, minding their own business, ignoring it, in fear ( of offending or hurting anyone's feelings or addressing it or fear of being hurt or fear of their own well being )or too self absorbed to give a damn.
Terms are being thrown about these days here and there... Yet I wonder if the mass of society even cares or notices or can even see beyond the present to realize it's affect on the future.
Terms like :
First world problems
Entitlement
Politically incorrect
There are a few things out there that are being put into place with the false idea of "helping people". Whether it's a Neighbour or friend or stranger or our kids or parents or anyone.... In need.
The lesson in helping people that keeps ringing louder in my head, which needs to be deeply accounted for before "helping" anyone is this old saying:
"You give a man a fish, you feed him for the day. You teach a man to fish, you feed him for life."
Simple. And I'm sure we all heard it at some point in our livs before. But forgotten or not understood by many.
