Critical Mass


I can understand someone being so distraught and uncomfortable with their life that they feel death will bring change and it does, permanently and you get no re-do if it wasn’t like you thought it would be. I can even push my mind into understanding trying to eliminate someone that might be trying to hurt or kill you or a loved one; most people can. What is hard to digest or somewhat understand is why it has become a thing now to take out someone’s life that has nothing to do with you then do away with yourself so the answer as to why is left to haunt those affected forever.

   Is this the new normal now? Places where we once felt safe, the venues where we go to hang out and relax a little and even pray or get an education. No, seriously, we all are paranoid and get all prickly over other country’s regimes trying to scare us and take over but I think we really need to focus our attention right here in our backyards.

   I don’t give a crap how demented somebody is or how bad life has kicked them in the crotch, NOBODY has the right to take another life because they didn’t get what they thought should be owed to them. If someone wants so badly to take their own life, if they really buy into that killing themselves will solve the problem then ….. But there will never be justification for taking someone else’s life or multiple lives.

   To the people who have lost loved ones due to unbalanced minds and cold souls can getting an answer as to why really give them peace? Perhaps the first time this wild killing spree type took place, we all thought we had it under control but its gotten worse and now it’s all the time. Stop waiting for the government to step in, is that what we really want, our country to be on lock down?

   It’s up to us. No, I don’t think we should be held responsible for somebody else’s behavior but if you know someone not so balanced or going through something they are struggling with GET INVOLVED. Don’t wait until that person hits critical mass then pass around via social apps all the crap that gets circulated pretending to be all up on depression and mental illness. For healthcare practitioners if someone needs help and they don’t meet up with the high standards/requirements to receive help…. Find a way to get them help. Yeah, okay I get it we are not our brother’s keeper but don’t you think things would be different if we got more involved with each other? Put the freakin’ smartphone down, stop worrying or checking on your damn status. If we want things to change for the good we have to get involved somehow, someway.

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical. The elephant is quite large and nobody can just pop one in their mouth but oddly enough there are people out there that want you to over tax your system trying to get one down in one bite. Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
