Random…Thoughts for today
I hate ever hearing the word cancer and especially knowing the cruel side effects it has on people. And people dying from it.
I am sure that dreams/nightmares, can consciously affect a person.
Everyone will not notice what you do for them, and that’s ok. It is done probably from the heart and that doesn’t need gratification, if it is genuine.
I love that morning coffee. It has been a good friend.
Howdy all…
I was thinking this morning about our laws.
Laws for the most part was made to protect each and every individual. Right? Yet I have seen it destroy, demoralize, and wreck people and their lives, all in the same manner of being made to do the opposite. Law’s in general should not hurt people, they should protect those of us who are in the right. Laws should help us to feel protected. Laws should help keep order and structure to our lives, and those of our neighbors around us.
Laws should never hurt us. They do though. Some protect the wrong people and some endanger us. Let’s be honest about it. There is always going to be an exception. Always. I guess the biggest reason laws can destroy a person or hurt them is because they were found unjustly convicted of a crime they did not do. Or perhaps false accusations and lies were believed over the real truth. I see it and I am sure you can say you have heard of that yourself. Just watch our news. It is everywhere. People write books about it, and there are news articles about it, even movies made about it.
No matter how good a system is or a law is, there is going to be problems , somewhere.
I know you have heard of people committing suicide because they were found guilty of an infraction or because they could not live with the shame and guilt of it all being made public or even the whole investigative process. Marriages are ruined, families get torn apart, and people lose their jobs over stuff like this.
While laws keep us safe for the most part, they have their issues. You can have corrupt people making laws, bending the rules, and creating scapegoats for their own agendas,. It just is.
I am grateful that our nation has laws to protect us and so forth. I am also heartbroken that sometimes, no matter how not guilty some people are, that they are destroyed by the whole process, sometimes. Not always, but sometimes. If we did not have laws our system, our society would be a place of chaos and evil.
Perhaps there is not a way to guarantee that a person who is not guilty of something, never gets accused, or harmed in being accused. I tend to believe that our world will still try its darndest to be fair and equal to each other. Yes, even with those who are guilty, as well.
Christmas Tears
By MwsR
One day she was going to decorate her house just like you see it done in magazines and movies…but not today. She just couldn’t get into the Christmas spirit. Today she found herself thinking of Christmas’s past. She felt the feelings she had felt before, today she remembered it all.
It’s easy to get swept up in holiday traditions but what if your holiday traditions were erased? Hers had been, she had to understand though that all was not lost. She needed to know that holidays were and could be so much more than tradition.
This year, this time, she needed to find the meaning behind,the traditions and gatherings.
See for her there was so much that life had changed for her, that she needed to gather what she could. She needed meaning not traditions to keep her going.
When she was a child everything was so exciting, she missed that feeling. Now that she grew older she longed for a truth, a realism she didn’t get from all the holiday hustle and bustle, or from all the worrying over bills versus buying presents. Her world should be more. More than that she wanted everyone around her to be grateful.
Why should she struggle? Why couldn’t it look at easy as tv or movies, in that they all had smiles, presents, and cheer?
She really thought hard and tried to find something that she could internally use, use to feel better.
Alongside remembering past holidays, she remembered those who were no longer in her present, and she cried. She just sat there and felt the loss like it was happening there in that moment. She thought about the true meaning of Christmas and the sacrifice that people gave many years ago , where two parents that had a newborn that was despised by man, yet loved and awaited by millions. The sacrifice they made to make sure he was safe and cared for. They left their family, their homes and their own comforts.
Sometimes, she thought, one must give more than they ever will receive in return. Sometimes no matter where we have been we can still find a place to belong. It all is in our hearts and minds, she thought.
Her Christmas tears turned on her mind, but she found the strength to keep trying, to keep looking for the answers, but with a newness of heart.
Christmas tears , the ones shed so long ago in a manger, now in her own eyes…that made life seem clearer around this time of year.
The lesson is life can bring you down but if you look,more than you think can be found.
