Thoughts on the "I want it all and I want it now"

So the birds began their song and woke up the day. Who woke up the birds? It was very cold, and I thought for a second about the hot sunshine in the south of Spain...... but only for a second or so. The cold weather is so nice, but in July? It gives people an excuse to smile at you and nod their heads in your direction. Even if it is only to say "This cold will be the death of me "???
Why do people say that?

Are they wishing death upon themselves?
Do they really believe their statement?
Will they be surprised when they keel over with Bird Flu or hypothermia or some disease related to "The Cold" and more to the point their mindset.
Will they be surprised when they actually die?
cAn TheY fEel SurpRisE iF tHey DiE??

I wonder if on their deathbeds they will say

" Do you know I was only saying the other day, this cold will be the death of me..... and look ....it came true .....it is .....zonk."

I love people because they come in all different sizes and shapes and colours. It doesn’t surprise me that whatever you can imagine in people then there is sure to be a person like that in the world.

I used to imagine people being nasty and taking advantage of me or the situation they were in and lo and behold I was never let down. I could always find someone or something to say
" There I told you so. I just KNEW IT!"
I could always find someone to moan about or moan at.
My life seemed to consist of a succession of "events" which were meant to test me.
Now I look at life in a different way.
When I see someone who is angry at me I try to imagine what is hurting inside that person. What is the thorn in their side? I know that anything I do is NOT designed to make people hurt and therefore I know that it can only be the hurt in them which makes them angry ...or sad...or emotional...or whatever.

Of course there are people who appear to be "evil" or just out and out awkward but if one were to search into their lives one would find a thorn.
A good thing is to believe that everyone really will be good to you and so treat them in the way you want to be treated. An even better thing is to understand that good is not a term which can be defined by anyone. How can we know what is good? One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Good like bad is an illusion conjured up for this body.
It is said that if one sincerely believes I mean BELIEVE IT NOW then whatever you desire can be yours. Why should one desire? Are we just a complex set of equations who can be satisfied with a tweak here and a tweak there? Life certainly presents us with problems and aches and pains but does any harm actually befall you. There may be some "apparent harm" on the road to the end but it is of no significance compared to the riches and joy that are to be had, not NOW in this life, but in the real life, the immortal life of spirit of soul

Holding back has become one of the great gods in today’s world.
People hold back all kinds of things.
They hold back their trust...just in case
They hold back their money ...just in case
They hold back their love ... just in case
They hold back their smiles ...just in case

Well there really is no just in case!
Holding back simply puts off the day.
Let your heart shine through
Smile at the world
Try not to make the usual excuses that others make

"People will think I am mad.
What if they do this or that?
I am not going to let people walk over me like a door mat.
etc etc

Do not struggle against anything but let it all flow towards you.
Accept what is yours gracefully.
People can only give you what you allow them to give you.
Walk away with a smile if they want to give you a hiding or a bad time
If you cant walk away then allow it to happen with a smile on your face ,secure in the knowledge that what they take from you will come back to you a hundred fold.

I see a nice granary loaf and a mature cheddar waiting to be eaten so au revoir,
