Things That Make You 'Think' (or, why didn't I ever know this before)

As the stress of our daily lives continues to build (or maybe I need to state "my daily life"), frustration and anxiety sometimes comes creeping into my mind at the oddest of times.

Don't know about you, but if you do any reading on the net of the different news articles and then go and listen to your local/national news on television - - they don't match. Not only do they differ in content, the 'talking heads' seem to only focus on an individual issue. That issue, usually has nothing to do with our (l) economy (2) the w..a..r. ((otherwise known as 'We..Are..Right)), (3) national security/homeland security/borders or (4) what our senators and prez are doing for us/US citizens. Actually we do know what (4) is doing, they are vacationing ! !

After reading several articles today, I have realized that those in power/govmet are only using us as human cattle. And what do we do with cattle, why we slaughter them and eat them. Does anyone ever worry about cattle. NO ! ! We just think of better ways to serve them up on our dinner plates. And today, that's what I feel our world is doing to us humans ..... serving us up as a blue plate specialty. There are so many of us, we need to get rid of the overstock. OK, then what's the best way to do that ..... war, famine, war, disease, war, famine, disease and WAR.

So, here's my statement for today: STOP ACTING LIKE CATTLE. Turn off your TV, your CELL PHONES, stop waiting for someone else to help you. HELP YOURSELF. DO SOMETHING.

If you find yourself in a situation/position where you feel that all is lost and you cannot move or think because of the horror surrounding you, then you must DO something. Get up, go for a walk, call a hotline, hug your child, stop interracting with the demon in your life.

Then go read these articles. Guaranteed you'll feel depressed. But at least you'll know the truth. You'll know that you really are cattle. Some of us are Cattle and maybe some of us are Ca'telle. But whoever you think you are on the ladder of life, chew on this.........

Be Brave. DO ! !
