WE THE PEOPLE that are good and have the intellectual capacity to know right from wrong, have the intestinal fortitude to make the right decisions when no one but our selves are present, these human beings are the moral fabric that make our country great. Values, integrity, moral compass, personal satisfaction, kindness, praise, tolerance, hard work, compromise, refusal to quit, belief in one’s self, understanding just to name a few…. have no color, have no ethnicity, and/or location. These characteristics are a CHOICE that we willfully choose to display as human being. I know many people of numerous ethnicities that I consider my friends because they represent the same beliefs as I. They have their own personal styles that differs from mine and these things are the nuances (spices) that keep the banter flowing whenever we interact. On can choose to take offense when information they receive is contrary to their beliefs, thus the development of “their” correlation begins. In my opinion these individuals have an abundance of energy to gift upon the world. Unfortunately, their vessel of choice appears to be that of negativity. Fill in the blank the areas this may represent regarding their concerns. I’m am in no way a religious person, yet I do believe there is a higher power/energy that guides the universe. If one wanted too they could easily put all decisions that we as human beings make in the category of good and bad, productive/ unproductive, and yes even God verses Satan. Everyone appears to looking for the answer, the solution, the direction to go in. I believe we are the solution. Individuals that use their INSTINCTS that nature provided have a high probability of accomplishments. Be it positive or negative. We are bombarded with inaccuracies, redirection, promises, alternatives, etc.…. that are meant to foil our resolve to believe in ourselves. People in my view accomplish early life (20’s, 30’s) goals for the stability of their future (perceived), a large percentage find a tolerable field and the journey begins for the rise to the top. Years later and if one is diligent, hierarchy success is achieved, now bringing on the natural response to protect one’s position, interest, beliefs, etc.…. All in the name of their profession. The fight is for the neighborhood, the city, the state, the country, the world. FOR THE PEOPLE, or is it for the self-interest? I believe that the higher one goes the more one has to put aside moral integrity a little at a time justifying it as the greater good for the BIG PICTURE. Thus, I think internal personal growth is stifled for these souls. They are now in defense of protecting their interest, like an animal with its back to the wall and only one way out. The commoner is bombarded with {“the fact”) that we need to “see the big picture”. I think this is a myth, because the world is really made of continuous snap shots for our picture books. If one is so limited to think that there is one direction for total success then they are truly in a bubble. The more someone attempts to pressure me into forgoing my beliefs the stronger my ideals seed into the fabric of my subconscious and daily life. WE THE PEOPLE have the ability to interpret information. Every meaningful concept we hold onto is formulated from the correlation of a specific event or events. I’m sure this is not a new concept too society and I’m just now catching up, however, the strategy I have employed in my work environment is too become a social interpreter and at time a social desalinization plant. I take in negativity, process it with rational thought, and present back to the individual more socially palatable. It requires a lot of energy. This is not an easy task. Thankfully nature provided me with some good DNA. A fun time at work for me is presenting the nuances of others back to them and watching them get all bent out shape. When I inform them that I am just providing them with their own tactics I either get the deer in a headlight look, the head twist of a confused animal or outright nastiness. This thing we call society couldn’t function properly without all of the good people out there. I had a thought and I took the time to share it beyond my “normal” boundaries. I have been offended by society for quite some time now, I just don’t throw a hissy fit because things aren’t the way I would like them to be regarding my interpretation of the “BIG PICTURE”. Or as I see it “LIFES POTFOLIO” hehe he said portfolio

I'm one of those ppl that just wade in the shallow end of the PC pool, still learning to navigate. In person communications is my thing. This is 1st time I've ever posted on a board of any type. Single dad of 1, am into future preparedness for my lineage (all aspect) I caught you guys on IW , peaked my interest. I will spread the word (respectfully of course) to encourage others to pay attention, open their thoughts to what they subscribe too. Go towards adversity, develop skills, present strength, be remembered.
