Pride Ego Worst Enemies of Wisdom Common Sense

“It’s better to remain thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt!”

That phrase was indirectly, or directly, aimed in my direction during a 6th grade class by a very wise Southern Gentleman who happened to be my teacher. That was many decades ago and I have never forgotten. There’s no idea if anyone else in that class got the message, as most were content to sit silently, never risking any comment, either positive or negative.

Being rather insecure my comments were usually geared to, in my mind, to make me seem more astute, knowledgable, which was rarely the case. It may be seen as fortunate to have adopted a “conspiracy theorist’s” attitude later on. Therre were ample opportunities to refine that belief.

Our world has been brainwashed to believe that an educational level and money determine intelligence and superiority. That has never been more apparent than during the last few years of 2020 to 2024. It has been observed by a minority as to the truth of this. Where what should be painfully obvious is those with all the paper degrees seem to be lacking a large degree of common sense.

There seems to be a hint as to why things could be so out of whack. A direct connection to the amount of time spent in front of a TV! What better form of hypnosis, or brain-washing machine is there? If the ‘talking-heads’ say it, then it must be true. Why would they lie to us? For the most obvious reason of all…money and power.

Only now are whistleblowers finally admitting the absured amounts of money hospitals and medical professionals recieved for reporting deaths as related to the so-called virus. Funny how no one ever was able to isolate said virus, yet vaccines and any number of remedies were developed without that critical piece of information. A world-wide scam if ever there was one. And no one got the flu or influenza.

As has been pointed out, people missed how the homeless were never impacted by this. Why? The news media, being totally complicit with the scam, never brought this to the public’s attention. Why? Because the Main Stream Media was totally complicit and has been for decades while building up to this event.

As Hannity has pointed out for years, journalism died back around the ’80s. It was then the so-called journalists stoped being unbiased in their writing efforts, becomming shills for whatever their puppet masters wanted, rather than keenly unbiased reporters of just the facts.

Facts became lies actually. Anything other than truth is just that. A lie! The voices of MSM became at best story tellers. Or just paid liars.

Is A “Blog” A Weblog, Log, Or Website?

Following are several definitions of what some dictionary sites define as a “blog.”

Is Can I Get A Little Help From My Friends Just A Song?

What would you do if I told a story on you,
Would you delete and block me evermore?
So give me your eyes and I’ll write you some words,
And try not to be a big bore.

Wish I could get by with a little help from my friends,
I’m tryin’ to get a little help from my friends,
Surely I can get help from my friends.

Writing words today when you have some to say,
Shouldn’t fall on blind eyes that’s for sure.
Read ‘em out loud to draw in a big crowd,
It will amaze ‘em if they just endure.

Just a “like” would help from my friends,
Follow me if you’re one of my friends,
I’m gonna fly with the help of my friends!

I love to write and it’s plain to see
There is always a topic for me.
My stories are true and it could happen to you
As the subject of one of these.

That’s how it is when you have friends,
They all help to the very end,
I get by with help from my friends

With A Little HelpFrom My Friends!! Joe Cocker

There is no rhyme nor reason for doing that, but it was just something going around in my head and I had to get it down. Does that happen to you? You wake up in the morning with the verse of a song rolling around in there, and it stays with you all day.

Of course, there is no song for the verses I wrote, and it was very loosely taken from that famous one by the Beatles back when. I challenge you to go back and read it with that tune in mind. Smiles are free and that should create one.

Do you consider it interesting the number of random thoughts that enter your mind on a daily basis? Would you be at all surprised that of the estimated 70K or so, you may only be aware of a very small portion consciously.

Obviously, you don’t consciously think about breathing, or blinking your eyes, swallowing, along with so many other bodily functions. Even scanning your computer screen takes thoughts. Processing all the colors, words, and content on the screen uses more. Are you starting to get the picture?

So does it seem all that unusual that you might wake up from a dead sleep with a tune running through your mind? By the way, in case you think there are no thoughts while you’re asleep, what about that dream you had? Yup, that counts too.

Now there has to be someone out there who wants to disagree with this, based on plain ole human nature. A number like 70,000 is hard to handle. One site I looked at put it closer to 600,000. Can you even remotely begin to wrap your mind around that?

So come on and jump in here. Can I get a little help from my friends? You know who you are, and maybe there’s a few who want to chime in on this that aren’t on my friend list. Cool! Of those 70K or so thoughts runnin’ around in your noggin, share a few here!

Do You Write Because You Can Or Because You Have To?

So was I writing because I could, or because there was this drive that I simply had to write?

In 2011 I had lot’s of time on my hands as I was attempting to recover from some mysterious fevers that had all the Dr.s stumped at the V.A. Hospital.

At the same time I had been working on building a website, and doing a good deal of writing. At some point, I ran across EZine Articles site, and an piece about article marketing caught my attention.

The idea of getting paid to write definitely appealed to me, and it just happened that EZine Articles was sponsoring a contest to write 100 articles in 100 days.

It's in the pot!
It’s in the pot!

About this same time I had come across a company promoting Omega 3 Fish Oil, which I had been purchasing and taking on a daily basis. So being a promoter of healthy living and high on Omega 3 at the time, it seemed like a great topic to write about.

Even though I was a few weeks behind, I figured if I could write 3 articles a day I could make the deadline for the contest with a day or two to spare.

The challenge was taken up and I began doing research to see how many different topics I could write about around this topic.

Now keep in mind I saw this as a challenge, whether I could do it or not. It wasn’t so much that I was 100% convinced about the benefits of Fish Oil in the form of a capsule. I was simply 100% convinced I could write 100 articles and maybe, just maybe, begin selling some writing. THAT was the real challenge. Could my writing earn money?

So was I writing because I could, or because there was this drive that I simply had to write? A great question in light of why I was writing those articles.

Writing is something I have been doing since 3rd grade in school. Stories of heaven and I don’t remember what else were some of my first efforts. Along the way it developed into love notes and eventually pen pal correspondence.

Being an avid reader my vocabulary grew far beyond that of my peers. So there was a wide range of words to draw from because of that reading. Little by little many of those words would find their way into my conversations, leading to ridicule from classmates who had no idea what I was talking about.

There has always been the need to put thoughts on paper. At one point stories of experiences in Ecuador were being provided for my hometown weekly newspaper and that was fun. No editor who had to justify his job by tearing up my reports. 

A difference was noticed between that type of writing and creating the articles based on a challenge. For that I had to write and there’s a huge difference for me compared to writing what seems to come naturally.

For me, I have to write! Writing because I can is something forced. This was just something that rolled out from inside. As spontaneous as thoughts just more directed. And you? Do you write because you can, or because you have to?
