Growth happens!

Suppose, "It is ur job to wind it up and my job to unwind it and we each know we are doing our jobs using; words only".

Than, no offense should be taken in spite of all, for I am doing my job and u are doing urs.
He who "gets this" gets politics. Politics is designed to spur  growth.

He who doesn't "get this",as their job, sees it quite differently and is moved to judgment in the world, beyond words, and growth happen.

Everything is the way it's supposed to be right now!....Lalepop'

MBC's forgot!

The wealthy, "Make Believe Christian", conveniently, forgets that "it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven"...Lalepop'

Make the chaff "make believe".

Maybe the acronym MBC (Make Believe Christian) could be used in our discussions so as to avoid lumping in the good with the bad.
In the same way, MBM (Make Believe Muslim) could be used to refer to the Islamic extremists.
Separating fact from"make believe" is a good thing! ...Lalepop'

The Wisp

It is the land,
that is at the mercy,
of the water's whims,
and the Earth spins,
as leaves take leave,
of the tree in the wind,

Blind no more.

There was a time,  

when we didn't see the snake,
that lived on our shore, 

but no more.

There was a time,

when we didn't see the snake,

on the banker's floor,

but no more.

There was a time,

when we didn't see the snake,

at justice's door, 

but no more.

There was a time,
we were blind to our very core,

than truth said to us,

"You are blind no more"!....Lalepop'

The case against compromise.

 I've known lots of "self reliant" folks in my life time that had no "job" but they worked at the task of survival and didn't compromise their value as a basic human being like so many have already done. Compromising the basics of humanity only leads to a growing emptiness as many are, at this very moment, experiencing.... Lalepop'

The status quo....

"Conventional" thought is as a rain cloud growing ever larger till at last it falls from the sky in preparation for a new day, a sunny day! ....Lalepop'

In so many ways "the system" says.....

"Do the responsible thing; sell ur soul to me"!...Lalepop'
