hard times, indeed

By Tom Marshall, at 2:04 PM  

Fallen on hard times for sure, and I cringe visibly every time the news comes on -this is sickening "stuff". How can we be doing this to each other?

Peace starts with individuals. It seems that people are watching too much t.v. "Waiting for the world to change " So they can I suppose get the permission to change, and finally be at peace.
It’s kind of sad to see, but if they want to be in misery that’s good for them, but I will not follow the lead because its not good for me. I’m happy being whatever it is I am.

But how can one be at peace? When they are constantly immersed in sadness and constant crisis. I mean that’s the whole point of "News" is it not. To report every possible shitty thing that has happened (or has not happened) and normally they don't tell the whole or right story anyway.

Here is how I am at peace in the midst of all the "drama" I don't make other peoples problems my problems OR my entertainment

Truthfully I probably care about the well being of the inhabitants of this world, a whole lot more than the people who make it their business to morn for days about the shitty happenings.

Also when people are not are not willing to help themselves, it makes it easier for me to say.

“I will not loose my sanity over someone else’s inability to cope. I will help them if I can, and if they ask but I WILL NOT make their problem MY problem."

If something tragic happened all the way across the country I will feel compassion but that is all, and I go on about my day. I don’t watch the latest update on the ‘latest tragedy’. Which is just the same thing over and over again with a new word or two.

It does no one any ounce of good to worry about what other people are doing or what other people are going through. It is possible to show I care without letting their issues take over my life as well.

You don't see them concerning themselves with my issues. People have their own lives for a reason.

The ‘Lifeline’ as I call it has brought a constant need to WATCH OTHER PEOPLE'S MISERY so they people will feel as if they do not have it so bad. But It serves to distract them from things that bring unbreakable happiness.

SO IF YOU WANT PEACE start with yourself and you will see how it reflects back at you from the rest of the world.

With Love and Respect,
