The Virus Effect




I try to give people I don’t really know a chance. If they show some kind of nice quality or have a good energy I will go out of my way to give them the benefit of doubt, the old innocent until proven guilty. The older I get and the more people I come across both in person and online I sway more to believing a person is guilty until proven innocent.

   There are a lot of devious cowards about who have nothing better to do than to steal, hurt or trick other people and a trusting good natured soul more so now than ever has to really be on guard. Trying to decipher the good guys from the bad guys gets more difficult because the bad guys are stepping up their game. It reminds me of virus strains, some have learned to morph into something else or disguise and hide from our body’s foreign invader destroyers. The liars, cheats, fakes and thieves both online and in person are doing the same.

   I don’t have a suspicious nature to me not until I see or hear a discrepancy that makes me question something. I will often overlook something that doesn’t look or feel right because I have a habit of lashing out and accusing then finding out a logical explanation. Before throwing someone on the defensive I put my accusations and suspicions on pause until I get some hard facts in. It does get more difficult to dish out immunity to someone who repeats a certain offense towards you or offers little to no explanation as to why. I understand the concept of turning the cheek and choosing our battles but I am now really understanding offering a brief immunity of benefit of the doubt and knowing when to cut ties

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...
