Life is How You Make It

From the day we are born to the day we die, life is all about learning. Everything else happen either as done to us or we do to another, or our action affects others as vice versa.

One thing I know is that in this world, there are so many choices we can do. That is of course provided we have the freedom to do those that we want to do.

In my country, we live by the principles of freedom. The ability to do anything we want provided we don't aim at hurting and or killing people. Unfortunately most of us people are born with impaired judgment and sometimes we do things that hurt others. Those that deliberately do harm others are the ones that pay high in the name of justice. Doesn't mean to say those that have accidentally hurt others don't get to pay, just that it is a bit lighter.

Where am I going at? To present the fact that life is full of ups and downs, cruelty and kindness, love and hate, peace and war. Unfortunately we are not always able to control these circumstances but one thing I know is that if you are a very negative person, chances are, your life revolves around negativity like hate and the undesirable emotions associated with it. Of course, the better part of life is being positive and the same way. I observed that all the good stuff prevail in one's life.

I am not a hate advocate under any circumstance. I love peace and all the good part of life. But like the promise of my Catholic religion, perfect and sinless life only happens in heaven and that is determined when we are accounted for in the gate of St. Peter. Not that I don't believe that, it is just that I do have a glimpse of that state even right here in this world.

My point in all this?

Just because I talk all about the evil things other do to others doesn't mean I am a hate monger. But if you look at it that way? That is your choice. Choose well.

I have a very good life. I live free and very happy. I have good children and lovely grand children. My children do absolutely adore me and those that I work with. Yet my passion is to find a solution to end all these problems. Unfortunately, we have to face things as they are. If you think I am a hate monger? That is your perception. I wish you would see and feel my desire to find peace from all of us.

Thank you all for reading and or commenting.

My friend, LJ! I don't believe for one second that you are a hate monger! I don't believe you are trying to hurt people here ! I think you try educating people and lots of people on here take it the wrong way! That is their problem....not yours!

I like President Trump's pick for the SCOTUS!thumbs up
Thank you my friend.

I love life and life loves me Jim. I have everything I could possibly ask for. Not rich just able to fulfill what my goals are. Surrounded by loving, peaceful and wonderful friends. Go to Facebook and read all the loves my friends and children profess for me.

Yet I chose to share here what us happening in our realms. Very sad but true.

I'm sure glad CS allow us to discuss almost about anything.

Maybe fun is what others are only looking for? There's enough of that. Besides stick to the cartoon section like what you mostly post. Thanks Jim.

Now just because I share this current events that gives us negative feelings doesn't mean we should be in denial.

If you don't want to read it move on.
I am aware of the fact that because of my choices if topics, people hate me and that's alright. You don't know me. You have no right to judge me as hate monger.

That's your opinion and I leave it at that.

If only you know how much I bleed for all these killings and injustice committed against humanity.

I feel so sad for all the victims of the world. I feel so lucky to have lived my life as I have and wish that all people would taste how it is to have enough let alone free.

Enough means basic needs.

I would have been so happy if that's the case. I pray and thankful of what a good life would be.
hi lj

we are living in a very changed world we are all part of it. as the song goes we've lost that loving feeling.wave
Thank you John, how we lost it? Simply because people would rather label you as a hate monger instead of checking and learning how to stop it.

We can if our voices are heard. We can if we don't support terror. We can if we care enough to look at possibilities.

Just because it is talked about then a poster us singled out of spreading hate. I feel sorry for you.

If choices are abound, pick the goody goody topics, there's enough if them. Thank you.
Thanks Scotty, you're a good friend. wave
My appreciation My.hug

Kurt Cobain yes, the ex of Courtney Love.

I have heard from many who said the same thing My.

I hope that's true.
Will we ever see a day when we can all get along I wonder? I sure hope so bouquet
Track that's a difficult question. If you mean the whole if 7 billion? Yes if all of us will lose selfishness, cruelty and instead profess only love, compassion, kindness and generosity. I would think so. cheers
LJ....You are indeed a "warrior for peace and truth"...not always recognized! Hope you never get discouraged even tho the going gets tough.....the cause is worth the effort! To me, with this last election, this country has been given a great gift ....but what we do with it remains to be seen. We all have many choices in life....recognizing the right way to use them, that's often what gets us into trouble! wink wave
I doubt if it will happen in our lifetime or the next. Humans by nature is imperfect and not always willing to overcome our imperfections plus some just likes conflict (a hangover from our predatorial days).
Thanks H, been a while. Miss you dear friend. hug

Thank you for recognizing that. I clearly understand those that oppose my line of thinking because of their agenda, they refuse to see the ground I stand on.

Who declares to kill us all Americans? That's right, if you support that objective then yes by your choice you will label me as hate monger.

I'm so please with his first few days my friend. We all need to support his actions and pray it's good first for all of us and then the world for that matter.
I am with you Track but we can hope. There's a chance. There's a battle of good and bad, I pray the good prevails. hug
That is a battle that may never be resolved sad flower
The one thing I have learned in my life,is it takes more energy to hate then it does to love... So with that being said I will take love before hate.. bouquet
You maybe right Track but it's worth trying to achieve it.
That's for sure My, with all the energy spent on hating it would be so nice if channeled on love.
That's right LJ, love,peace..purple heart peace
OK let's promote and profess My, but without ignoring our civic duty of creating awareness with all the dangers our lives are up against. It's nice to be informed you agree? cheers
We have to keep fighting, thats the only thing holding the world together. Its the price of peace.
LJ, I do agree....cheers
Love and peace my dear My...peace hug
Hi lindsy I was always told that life is what you make it and what you put back into it.
Beautiful and opinionated wink
killer combination wine
Exactly Dear CC. Yes, at the end of the day, only you will account to what you have done. hug
Thanks my dear Non, I have to tell you, you're my one and only longest friend I have on here. Of which I have communicated of outside of CS, you my friend is a living testament of what I am fighting for. I suppose you know me, more than anyone else on here. And the only one I had the privilege to Skype with.
No one else but you after my then love from Australia split.

Jim is the second one but never really did Skype, planning on meeting many a times but perhaps, soon.

He too, understands what I am advocating for.

Non we've been friends for the last 3 years that I can remember.

Thanks for your remarkable friendship.

I appreciate. hug
wave Ms Jones, If anyone thinks that of you.. It's only because they don't know you hug

Sorry, I've one eye a sleep at the moment and the other is quickly on its way yawn
only for that I spend more time typing here just how good hearted you really are bouquet

As for your President....

Trumps ARK, may he sail it well wine
Thank you so much Ms. Witch, you too, are a very good hearted person and surely it takes one to know one.

I haven't hurt a soul and if anything I have helped many a friend's.

Go to sleep Ms. Witch and remain as you are. hug
