The ALGORHYTHM
IX.
“This world it is filled with wonders when the human being turns to God, and filled with deceit when the human being denies God its Creator, turning against Him, or when changes its nature upon earthly things, becoming slave of desires, partaking evilties and lawlessness, and therefore, one is to be advised that there are always choices, so as paths, to follow. To be trapped in a world of illusions, it means being bound or tied of earthly things, through the body, the mind, the heart, and the spirit – which is the soul; the human being is kept in the dark, away from the light, by itself, when does not know, when does not want, when does not care, - by others, resembling it, when it allows them, knowingly or when does not pay attention, when gets confused, complicit, or in blindness, deafness, ignorance, merciless, unforgiving, - by demons, when can not distinguish, disbelief, and sinning. In this world, I was born, and to each step I made, a teaching to be found, a meaning to be acquired, a trial to be taken, oscillating between truth and lie, good and evil, existence and nothingness. Oscillating in belief, in deeds, actions and reactions, learning my lessons upon my falls, changing pace and rhythm along this road of life, making turns or just stopping over the line, - and all these, consists in paths and choices. Such a long way, to Awareness! And only Reality, being the only cure, into the Realm, to be gradually discovered!.. So much Vanity, into this world! As more closer one gets to it, as many things have to endure, in sorrow, in pain, or sufferance, - if not, to just go with the flow, allowing more harm, to its being, sleeping or dreaming! It is so easy to neglect the soul, when sinning. It is so easy to get into oblivion, when departing from the truth, from the light, from life. It is so easy to pursue dreams of this world who will not last and it is so easy, so so easy, to perish!.. Yet, it is so hard to admit what was always obvious, into one’s sight, day by day, hour after hour, minute upon minute, second within second, until a split arise, to fill a being with love! It becomes then natural, to seek through the looking glass, distinguishing along this world of what is made of! Then, one becomes a living being, while until that very moment was just a walking dead…”

EDELWEISS - Vol. I/Chapter I: The ALGORHYTHM
This one pegged the BS meter...
The messages I usually get reflect they didn't read my profile prior to sending. It's okay, I'm used to being a scam magnet and my mail filter settings are open... intentionally.
This week, I received two messages that included their email address expecting me to contact them. I'm tempted to reply by sending the address from one scammer to the other scammer so they can play it out. Maybe make some new friends!
This evening, I received a message from a lonely 36 year old who claims to be living with her daughter and seeking unconditional love. Aren't they all? She includes a phone number and email.
The message starts with Good morning. First mistake.
Scanning her profile, I see she's unmarried with no children. Second mistake.
Her profile lists her hair color as dark blonde but the photos are of two different women, one with black hair and the other dark brown. That counts as two mistakes with one being fatal.
Sorry lady, you're pegging the BS meter!

Myths vs. Facts: Making Sense of COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation
MYTH: The COVID vaccines were not rigorously tested, which is why they have only emergency authorization approval and not full Food and Drug Administration approval. (Update: Pfizer’s vaccine received full FDA approval on August 19)
FACT: “Vaccine developers didn’t skip any testing steps, but conducted some of the steps on an overlapping schedule to gather data faster.”—Johns Hopkins Medicine
Assoumou: This is the most common question I get asked. I think there is a perception that things moved very fast, but we want to underscore that the technology being used now was being studied for a decade. The main difference between emergency use versus full FDA approval is that you need two months of monitoring rather than six months. When you look at the history of vaccines, if patients were to develop side effects, these occurred within two months. We are now over six months into our experience with these vaccines. We have not seen anything that would make us believe that the risks outweigh the benefits. And vaccines have saved so many lives.
Hamer: The development was more rapid than many other vaccines. But it used the same process of phase one and phase two trials following appropriate safety measures. Stage three trials were large-scale trials done rigorously with very clear outcome definitions. The safety measures and approaches taken are standard for clinical trials. They just did it more rapidly than usual. The full process review is ongoing and we are already hearing that Pfizer will have full FDA authorization by September and Moderna soon after.
MYTH: The technology used to create the COVID vaccines is too new to be safe.
FACT: The technology used, called messenger RNA, or mRNA, is not new. Research on it actually began in the early 1990s, and two diseases that are very close to COVID—SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2003, and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome)—helped bring the mRNA vaccine development to present day use.—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
Assoumou: The reason this is called SARS-COV-2 is that there was a SARS-1, the original one, and scientists were working on this vaccine. So when this pandemic arrived they had already developed a lot of the science. A decade of work was actually going on. That’s one issue I like to emphasize when people think it was rushed.
The other point I like to remind people is that these vaccines went through all the regulatory steps like any other vaccines. None of this was rushed. The FDA reviewed all the data. When you say “Emergency use,” people think it was rushed, but the way to think about it is that the benefits outweigh the risks.
MYTH: Breakthrough cases prove that even if I get the vaccine, I might still get COVID. So why bother?
FACT: As of August 9, the CDC said there had been 8,054 vaccinated people who were hospitalized or died who had also tested positive for coronavirus—out of more than 166 million fully vaccinated Americans. That’s roughly .005 percent. Additionally, CDC director Rochelle Walensky has said that 99.5 percent of all deaths from COVID-19 are in the unvaccinated.—Politifact, Fact Checking Joe Biden’s Figure on Unvaccinated COVID-19 Deaths
Hamer: COVID vaccines have been shown to be very powerful in preventing more severe disease and the need for hospitalization. Breakthroughs occur at a much, much lower rate than in people who are unvaccinated. The breakthroughs have been occurring more frequently with the Delta variant because of the high level of infectiousness (or transmissibility) of the Delta variant and lower protection of current vaccines against this variant. But people having breakthroughs have much more mild infection, more like an upper respiratory infection. The vaccines prevent severe disease and complications and allow people to return to a more normal state.

SUMO WRESTLING
Perhaps an avenue of activity that could be enjoyed by the increasing numbers of obese people around the world is "sumo wrestling." You can eat plenty, up to 20,000 calories per day. You can still be healthy, providing you undertake the appropriate regular exercise. The fat tends to be stored just under the skin, rather than around the organs of the body. This means you would be healthier than the usual obese person who would most likely not be taking the regular exercise nor the challenges of wrestling.
It is legal to slap, shove or head butt your opponent.
Sumo wrestlers may way 150 kg.

Child-proof caps...
Child-proof caps, that adults cannot open! I used to joke about senior citizens who have to get their grand-kids to open the child-proof caps that they cannot open.
Two weeks ago, my cardiologist wanted me to change the medicine I'm using for hypertension. She gave me a sample bottle and the office gave me a coupon for the first month free.
It's a recent product and no generic is available. The pharmacy said it's $840 a month without insurance and $45 with. Ouch... as the one I was previously using was covered by insurance with a 'zero' co-payment.
Most of my medicines require a dosage of 1 time per day, this one is twice a day, but starting off, it regulates my pressure to normal with only one a day and that's a plus!
The sample has a childproof cap that requires pressing and squeezing but, the 'sawtooth' cap clicks and doesn't open without some great amount of force to open.
Enough of that... I'm putting them in a different bottle.

So there is no solution but suffers without God.
So in this life is chance to come to believe in God and obey God so to get saved and live with God.
People living with God makes them happy .
Living without God is the door to devil.devil is all evil and destruction,he comes to steal,kill and destroy.
God comes to give life,peace and happiness.
So don,t lose time,read bible,new testament first and then old testament to get knowledge about God
and so to believe and obey God to get saved from sin and from evil.
simply:one thing to start to believe and obey God is: two greatest commandments: 1. Love God
with all heart..., 2.love your neighbours (all people) as yourself.
doing this lead you to eternal life living with God and so to get saved.
pray what you need, in spirit and truth and God will give you.

Another Me
Who are you, I'd like to know
For you leave my soul so hollow
You entered my life, and then
Something changed, can't tell you when
I'm not sure when you arrived
But it didn't take long for you to thrive
To lock my heart, deep inside
Somewhere in there, you reside
Rest assured, my dear, with ease
I've been here, always, to appease
Though I had to intervene
For I wanted you to glean
At first, I let you be
I didn't interfere, you see
I didn't want to cause you pain
Or drive you to disdain
But when you intervened
You made me seem so weaned
Like my heart's turned to stone
And won't be loved, it's known
I know this, my dear, it's true
But it's for your own good, too
For if you don't love, you'll find
You won't suffer in your mind
So what do you want me to do?
Stay alone and silent, too?
How long do you think I'll last?
Living life, steadfast
Don't worry anymore
It's better off, I'm sure
If someone comes along
And you believe they belong
I promise, I'll let you go
To love her too, you know
And if she loves you back
Together, you'll stay on track
So do you give me your word
That you won't cause me hurt?
And that you're not with me
Just for your own decree
You haven't realized
That we're just one in disguise
I am you, and you are me
Created by God's decree
You can trust me, without fail
And you'll see, your life will prevail
I wouldn't cause you pain
For in your body, I remain
So now, let me tell myself
What has been, shouldn't dwell
I'll make peace within my mind
And hope that happiness, I'll find
For you leave my soul so hollow
You entered my life, and then
Something changed, can't tell you when
I'm not sure when you arrived
But it didn't take long for you to thrive
To lock my heart, deep inside
Somewhere in there, you reside
Rest assured, my dear, with ease
I've been here, always, to appease
Though I had to intervene
For I wanted you to glean
At first, I let you be
I didn't interfere, you see
I didn't want to cause you pain
Or drive you to disdain
