868 views today on this blog and I have
not posted since 1/9/23. The lowest views in a day in the past 30
days was 125, the highest was 1040, this is significant for a blog
that tries to be expressive of honesty and integrity. It is not that
people are looking for a right or wrong, even though this may seem so
at first, it seems to be more about honesty and of integrity, this
was inevitable considering the lack of honesty and integrity in
society today. This is also impressive due to being excessively
shadowed.
Have I mistakenly tried to portray a
right and wrong in my blog posts? As of anyone, and to be honest
about this, yes, at times. It is a mistake to try to convey to
humanity as a whole what is right and what is wrong as each and every
culture has it's own version of what is right and wrong. In some
cultures people who steal can have their hand cut off, this is right
for some cultures and wrong in other cultures. To me, if a person
even thinks of stealing in any culture, it is a reflection of the
culture itself or lack of culture, not the person who steals.
Today, under the control of communist
(autocratic) style directives, paedophilia and human trafficking is
on the rise, significantly, and this is while we are under more
surveillance than ever. Under this kind of surveillance it should be
the other way around. Look at how we are still virtually supporting
throwing rocks and sticks at each other, like the Neanderthals. Our
mentality is still of a Neanderthal, which means each and every
culture is of this mentality to start with. When you think on this,
you don't need much of a culture to support the throwing of rocks and
sticks at each other, as of stealing.
Are all our cultures around the world
that are into throwing rocks and sticks at each other wrong in
expressing this mentality? No, just not honest with themselves. In my
own mind, we need to get away from what is right and wrong and focus
on what is of honesty and integrity. Right and wrongs are not for the
good of humanity as a whole but to me honesty and integrity is. “You
are wrong according to my own culture so I am going to throw rocks
and sticks at you.” In a time governed by what is right and wrongs
in accordance with our own culture, that is still today of the
mentality of throwing rocks and sticks at each other, how expressive
of honesty and of integrity is a culture going to be? In all honesty,
it is this honesty and integrity, no matter what is wrong or right,
that is going to be deemed wrong by so many people today, at present,
this is why the number of views on blogs like this is significant.
How is any culture still into throwing
rocks and sticks at each other going to be of honesty and integrity?
It won't be, in actuality it can't be, not while cultures are based
on what is right and what is wrong. So yang is right and more valued
while yin is wrong and less valued!! There is no honesty or integrity
within this kind of mentality. It is like saying day is more valuable
than night, when each other in balance with one another is creative.
Yes, this means an imbalance between energies is destructive, by
nature. It is natural for an imbalance of energy to be destructive.
I was going to write the following as a
separate post on my blog before I wrote this post, by mistake, I
decided not to.
I was going to recite the following
at my 60th birthday party, it just did not fit in with
everything going on that night.
“Now that you are at my mercy, I
am going to subject you to a small portion of Mat's warped
philosophy.
It is not within the quantity of
numbers but within the quality of numbers, this is of many facets of
life.
My wife and I are certainly blessed,
not just by the quality of friends but by the quality of quantity of
friends, this is certainly without doubt. Sadly, a number of the
qualities could not make it tonight, that is the way the wind blows
which brings us to.........
Human life in many ways is like the
wind; at one time blowing ever so gently, at other times experiencing
gusts so strong that we feel we could be blown off the face of the
earth. No matter how the wind is blowing, always try to make the best
of life instead of the worse which now brings us to the bending of
the tree.
A tree that stands rigid to the wind
will most likely no longer stand. This is likened to making the worse
of life. A tree that bends to the wind will most likely live out it's
life. This is likened to making the best of life.
In the end though, no matter how the
wind has structured your life, the wind will no longer blow and this
is but another chapter of life, for without chapters to begin with,
the wind cannot blow.“
So in
all, people like myself try to live by what is of honesty and
integrity rather than
whats is right and wrong, while right and wrongs are being enforced
more and more by the present mentality. At times, under such strong
influences of a mentality of throwing rocks and sticks at each other,
we will mistakenly express right and wrongs and support rock and
stick throwing, this is inevitable, but what makes the difference is
trying to live by what is of honesty and integrity, most importantly
in the absence of what is right and wrong.
I say
mistake because most of us don't deliberately choose to be influenced
by energies that are out of balance with each other. Everything
exists around us due to a balance of energies, not an imbalance of
energies, so by nature we don't choose to exist in a reality based on
imbalanced energies.
As an
infant we need to find balance to walk, talk and think, in all
honesty I ask the question, are we anywhere near this stage of life
or state of mind?
