Rules I learned as a child !


When I was young, my step-father taught us all some things I have never forgotten. 1) Don’t lie, he hated liars 2) Always stand by family no matter what 3) Never steal from anyone 4) Avoid confrontations of any kind that can be physical or verbally angry. 5) Before you engage mouth, engage brain, think about those you are talking to and how it affects them. 6) Always treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. 7) Do not couch something in a way, when you say it, you are hiding what you really feel. 8) Never insult someone’s intelligence, you may find out, they don’t like it, in a bad way. 9) Never think because you were put in charge, you can say or do what you like, because you can’t. 10) Never harm an animal. 11) Never hit a woman period. 12) Respect your elders at all times .

Following those rules, as I was taught, I have survive 68 years now, never got into a physical alterantion, and got through, Elementary School, High School, and College, the U.S. Army, The Army National Guard and The U.S. Navy. They carried me though two marriages also. Dad also taught all of us as we grew up, we can do anything we put our mind to, if we just stick to it. He was right, about a lot. When we are growing up, we just don’t get all our parents taught us and as we age we forget some of it also. I hope I never forget it, any of it, but I am aging, so excuse me if I do.

Dear President Biden


Dear President Joe Biden,

Sir, You have served the American people over fifty years now and reached the pinnacle of politics, in America and now the world. We the American People support you in all you do and we appreciated all you have done. Sadly, in the end here, your age is now a factor and we are at a time, where, stopping Donald J. Trump from regaining the White House and Presidency is more important, than you attempting to keep it, in your current condition.

President Biden all due respect to you Sir, but at your current age, we all know, you have stumbled and had a bad debate now for the world to see. Our allies and enemies are watching and seeing you do so Sir and so are the American People in general. While no one wanted dthe rematch between yourself and Donald Trump to occur, it looks like no one has the guts, to stop it, by standing up and speaking the truth.

No Democrat, or Independent wants Trump back in the White House and while we know you beat him once, that is not the concern here. The real concern is down the road from now no matter which of you wins in November of 2024. If you are reelected President Biden you will be 86 by the end of your term, you health and mental accrunity are both a problem, and many you should consider retiring while you can enjoy it.

Donald Trump is only three years younger than you Sir and he is in the same shape as you in my opinion. He stumbles, he loses track of subjects and conversations and he fails and lies constantly. He failed as a President when he was in office, Trump did not build his wall, he did not control immigration, he struck down Roe vs Wade, and killed many by opposing Covid proceedure and medical advice for the American People. He actually stood on stage on tv and told Americans to drink bleach, he is no Leader. He led the Insurrection on Jan. 6th, he called the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys to DC, got the capital destroyed, almost got Representatives and Senators killed and almost got his own Vice President hung. Then when he left DC, after losing to you Sir, he took Top Secreta nd Secret documents to his him home and hid them. What did he have them for, why did he refuse to return them and who did he show them to? Americans need to be informed of more of all of it.

As to The Supreme Courts recent ruling, the January 6th attack and insurrection and Trump taking the documents should be stressed here. Those two cases should be prosecuted to the fullest. I remind all and you should too, he is already convicted of 34 charges in NY, faces still 54 more charges left, no President has even been Indicted 4 times before ! Today America is turning 248 years old, we have now had 46 Presidents, Donald Trump is the first President in American history to even be charged in such ways, never mind convicted. Yet, here we sit, due to the circumstances of two candidates, who are both old, both failing in mental accuity and even physical shape. The three years difference between the two of them makes no difference really. In my book, Trump is worse because he will do whatever he can to get back power, out of desperation, period. He knows he is running to stay out of prison. He is not stupid, he knows he wins, he makes all charges disappear, that should never happen.

I served my country for 16 years in three branches, and I believe in America and I am a proud Disabled Veteran. Sadly, this is not the country I defended anymore. It has lost it’s grip on certain things and is being destroyed by Trump and his MAGA Followers. They spew hate, they sprew lies and commit crimes left and right an dthen blame the Justice System when they get charged or arrested. It’s a sad sight for the world to see.

President Biden, I want you to consider stepping down and handing it over to the Vice President to run. I know you are against doing so, and your a very prideful individual, yet you must put your pride and ego aside, for the good of the country/ nation. Americans know all you have done Sir, but as you said yourself, you are slower, physically and mentally, and we need a younger President to work the longer hours, the job requires. I am one of your supporters President Biden and I admire all you have done for over 50 years, but, there comes a time for all of us men and women, when we realize or must realize, we have done all we can, and we are no longer up to the task ahead of us and we must retire or step aside, I believe, it is time Joe Biden, for you. It is sad for me to say this, but if you do not step aside, you are setting the stage for a second Donald Trump Presidency that will sell America out to it’s enemies ! Please don’t take that risk Sir, please do what I right, put your pride away, and your ego, and step aside, no one can force you we know that, but, I think you need to realize it all now.

Guess, moving to Massachuetts was not a good idea for me .


I officially moved to Massachuetts, Westborough, in March of 2022, after I lost my wife to cancer in 2021. Amazingly, I as a widower, have no idea of why Massachuetts people are so strange and angry all the time, but they are. At least in my opinion, that is how I see it.

I also noticed the dating scene in Westborough, Massachuetts and surrounding area sucks. Maybe it is because of my age, I am 68 these days, and I know finding people my age is rough here. The Town of Westborough is geared primarily to the younger crowd, and is not an area for the edlerly crowd, like mine. I live in condos here in Westborough, and I have been alone now for a long time. No female to have dinner with, or go to a movie or do anything with, seems, single people my age bracket are hard to find here. While Westborough, Massachuetts builds 55 plus condo to attract us, they do not provide events, or dances or anything where, we can meet others our own age bracket. The second problem I have as a widower is, I have no knowledge of flirting or how to do so. The third problem I run into living here is I do not drink, so all the bars and taverns, don’t really mean much to me. If I were a drinker and a social butterfly type, I might stand a chance of finding someone to spend time with, and possibly build some sort of relationship. But, even the taverns and bars are not geared for people my age bracket. As to what to do, here in Westborough I have no idea and I think those that read this or other items I have written, think I am being foolish, whinning or have no idea about it all. Let me say this to anyone reading this blog, I am not stupid, nor am I fool, nor am I whinning, I am just wondering, where does one go, to meet others my age ? And please don’t tell me to try to date anyone living in these condos here, it would be stupid to do.

Been to The Senior Center in town, found it a pretty dead place actually, Then I tried the Library once or twice, and found it pretty empty. I have tried looking at the Bars and Taverns in town also, Red Tavern, Central House, Jps. Cold Harbor even, yet, since I do not drink it is hard to stay in such places and the age range is not near me. I have seen plenty of good looking women in town of all ages, yet, even if I saw one I was attracted to, I probably would be scarred to approach. I tend to shy away from women in general, even though I love them. I am scarred of rejection and it’s just a fact for me. So I am in a condondrum of my own sort. I am stuck alone and see no way to meet any woman in my future. Dating apps actually suck I have tried them, and never get by the first meeting lol. So, I have determined I will probably be alone the rest of my life. Guess, moving to Massachuetts was not a good idea for me. I was hoping I may find a woman for company, companionship and fun times, but no luck so far.

I doubt if anyone in Massachuetts and my area of Westborough, in Worchester County here, has any answers for me, for no one seems to even care here. Sadly ! I guess, I shall go on alone, walking, eating out alone when I can, for I have nothing else I can do, except the movies lol.

My view, of Westborough, Ma., after over Two Years


The people of Massachuetts and the area I live in, are both rough to get to know. While the Town of Westborough, Ma. is a nice place to live, the people are not as friendly as one would think. Westborough has much in it for sure and the neighboring towns surrounding it, provide some things to do, the age gap for us seniors, is hard to overcome.

The young are kind to seniors over 55 and and of course there are plenty of bars/ taverns and such in town. The Town also has many banks, and stores in it too, it is loaded with car dealers up and down Route 9 here too. There is a lack of a movie house here, and it seems, you have to go to Shrewsbury, or Marlboro to bowl or find games or things to do. Fishing you can do anywhere, anytime in town between the resevoir and Lakes and even some rivers, I am told. It’s a quaint little town with plenty of churches if you are religious in anyway.

It has built and allowed to be built Condos for the 55 plus community in more than one place in town. But what Westborough, has not done is figured out, how to handle or entertain the 55 plus community to make us, more welcome, here. It lacks things for seniors to do together and ways to meet others in our own age range, with the exception of the Senior Center in town, which runs a tight steady schedule, but, is not a place that gets very busy, or full at all. I think many Seniors avoid the Senior Center, if they are fit enough, because they don’t enjoy being pointed at as being that senior.

A place for Seniors to dance together, listen to music and socially interact would be great, in Westborough, yet it is not here. A roller Skate Rink, Movies, and other ideas I am sure can be thought up. A place to meet the opposite sex in the same age range would be cool too. Yet, it hasn’t been found by me so far in my two plus years here in Westborough. I did a tour or try at some of the taverns/ bars in town, from Central House, to JP’s to Red Tavern to even the Neighborhood Tavern on RTE 20, hoping to meet some my age, but most are 30’s to 45 or younger. It makes it rough for older people when they are forced into places with people too much younger, the comfort level is less. Plus as being a senior myself, I have to curb what one can talk about. Started a conversation in a tavern about the differences in generations and the person was fine with it, until they suddenly got angry. Anger in the people of the town and area of this part of Massachuetts seems to be a problem area, I have noticed. Plus, the people here tend not to be open to meeting new people who move here from out of town or states, so to say. They are guarded in many ways, and they never seem to be relaxed, here in Massachuetts that I can find. Why, I do not know, it just seems so to me.

The longer I am in Massachuetts and this area, the stranger somethings seem to be to me. People will gather at an event or bar or restaurant but, they only interact with the people they are with and not, outsiders. I find them guarded, I find them at times angry, and I find many to be unfriendly. Why, I have no idea. So, I tend to stay home or walk a lot, of go fishing, of just do some events in the Condo Association I live in. Even then I find some who are in the 55 plus age range who live here, strange also, for they can get short, rude and even insulting to others and not realize what they are doing. I tend to let things go, and roll off my back or chest so to say, because if you don’t here in Westborough, it could be trouble, and I do not wish any. I have run into some who are narsicist, some who are rude, some who are outright angry without reason, it seems. Narcissistic personalities it seems, are in town for some reason, and I have dealt with a few before, they are not fun people, nor are they friendly, except to others of the same ilk, so to say.

Yes, I tried walking, the library, outside events, bowling, pickle ball at one time even. I play billards where I live and small games like Mexican Train Dominos just for fun. We have a swimming pool here where I live, but, I do not use it, never have and probally never will, I burn in the sun, like a red rooster. And the whiteness of my legs would blind people lol.

So, the real question I keep asking myself is, was iy worth it to buy a condo here in Westbourgh, Mass. or not? While it is nice to have a condo, and a place of one’s own, it is not great for a person of 55 plus, who is alone or single or divorced or widowed. A person of either sex who is alone, should have someone to share life with and you can not find that here, due to the Peyton Place atmosphere of said condos, and what can happen if you were to try to date anyone in it. As to the town, like I said it is not geared to the 55 plus, nor does it have any real places to meet people in our age range. So, if you like isolation, or loneliness, then ok, if not, I would not recommend the Condo plan, or Westborough at this time. The seniors here are actually overlooked a lot. Sadly, you don’t realize how alone you really are until you actually live here. It looks friendly, clean, neat, but, doesn’t mean you will have any chance of living a decent life, unless you can expand who you know. When your 55 plus you are indeed set in your ways, so it makes it hard. Just my opinion folks, I am not saying Westborough, is a bad town, or Massachuetts is a bad state, they are very guarded here , and not geared for the 55 plus crowd.

Opinion


Over the years, I have noticed somethings and although others disagree, I still say the greatest generation in American History, is the one born in the 1950’s,, raised in the 1960s, and hit adulthood in the 1970s. We had the best music, the best jobs, the best cars ever made. Our parents taught use discipline and corrected us, and taught us manners.

Yes we talked on phones on the walls or wired to it. We had to actually answer the phone to know who was calling lol. We had to go to school, and if we didn’t we were put to work to pay our own way. In the end it made us responisible for our own actions and mistakes. It was a different life style and society then it is today !

Final Blog, MacAttack56


Ok, my subscription to Word Press.com is coming down to it’s end soon. So I want to say, blogging has been a pleasure for me, and I have covered many subjects over the years I have done so. It has helped me through some sad times, some depressing times, some time of writing of stories and books and poems. Through the times of ups and downs, attempts to recover some things of my past, healing some hurts and pains and even creating others. Blogging to me has been a blessing in many ways and I am happy and proud of what I have said or done with it.

Times are changing and I am getting older now and each day brings me closer to the elderly ages of many in America and the world and makes me think twice about continuing in it. The energy level is not the same for me, since my wife passed in 2021. I miss her and he input as well as her caring and loving feelings, she gave me and her encouragement for it all. The Period from March 2021 to her passing on August 1oth 2021, wa sthe roughest period I have faced in my life and yes I miss her dearly and always will till the day I join her.

Blogging has helped me to find my daughters, to know them some and to feel like I told them the full truth and I hope they understand it now. That said, I still get depressed about all the years I missed of their growing up, and the time I wanted to spend with them and the things and moments I missed with them. I wish I could have spent more time with them both, their spouses and of course, my grandchildren. Yet, I am not rich, nor am I able to overcome the fact to travel the over 500 miles to see all of them when I wish or they wish me to. Life, my friends and family is a journey, through which we must pass alone, and make the best of we can, and I have tried. I have laughed, I have cried, I have been up and been down, I have seen highs and lows of which few have experienced. I have seen the world in my days in the services of America from Connecticut, to New York, to New Mexico, to all over the world with the Navy. I accomplished things I never thought I would, my life was filled with 2 marriages, 2 daughters, numerous homes and more.

I have commented on numerous things, of political nature, of news, of life, love and beliefs I have had. I have commented on friends, events, views of where I lived, and even my wife and her fight with cancer and my own. The hardest part of my life has been the years from 2006 to 2021. I stood by, assisted, helped and took care of my second wife, Melinda for those years in all ways I could. While in the middle 2013, I suffered my own bout of cancer and lost a lobe and a third of my right lung and survived it. And continued on taking care of my Melinda, until her passing in August of 2021.

I thank my sister, who helped me through all of it, for without her I would have been lost and frozen in time God Bless her for being there for me, and supporting me in all the ways she has. There is nothing better in life than, to have a sibling who is close to you all the time. A sister rs a blessing, I hope all, can have in life.

As. this is my final blog, more than likely, because, I basically can’t see how I can stay at it, at 68 years old, I want to say one thing to all who ever read my blogs, Thank You for doing so! We may not have agreed on many subjects or ideas I blogged about, but, I thank all who read them. We may not agree on politics or what we believe about some politicians or laws, or things that happened in the world, but at least, I was able to voice them by blogging so thank you WordPress.com also.

In closing let me say this, it has been an adventure and a honor to be able to blog to the world, and to have a small part of it hear my voice and what I believed in and more. Thank you to ALL !!! I did write many poems, that are out there now in the ether of the internet, on Amazon.com, small stories and books, I never claimed to be a real writer, I did them with encouragement of my now deceased wife, at her asking me to. They will remain out there for who ever reads them or likes them or even those who don’t. I tried only because of my deceased wife wo said, I had stories to tell, and I should tell them.

Be well all, and as time marches on, I hope, you all, stay healthy, happy, get wealthy and live a life you love ! God Bless !

Are a member of AdultFriendfinder or a member of it or a FriendFinder site ?


If you are a member of AdultFriendfinder or a member of it or a FriendFinder site, the following web site will tell you what is happening legally with it all.

Friendfinder Networks including Adult Friendfinder is in a legal battle over a dispute between it’s creator and it’s General Manager so to say. It is now in the courts for a dispute resolution battle. Friend Finder Networks – Founder Andrew Conru Sues CEO Jonathan Buckheit, https://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/2024/03/the-battle-for-friend-finder-networks-founder-andrew-conru-sues-ceo-jonathan-buckheit.html

If you read this it will explain the sudden change on Adult Friendfinder in the payments needed to chat on it’s site. Suddenly on 25 April 2024, people were locked out of of Adultfriendfinder chat rooms and made to either join the site fully as a member or pay for chat room posts points by 50 points a chatroom post.

One other point to make about Adult Friendfinder . com., there is a problem with confirming your idenity for paying and as a membership. The sight requires a picture I’d, and it is using biometric programs to look at that and gathers that information and saves it. And with the saving of it and the hacking of the Friendfinder networks sites, that information on each individual is being stolen in those hacks. Which means your identify and the information you submit to join is being picked up by hacker, revealing who you are. So be careful folks.

Information post for all, who use Adult Friend Finder online.


Just a announcement / information post for all, who use Adult Friend Finder online.

As of April 25th, 2024, Adultfirend Finder. com is now a pay for all site. The free chat rooms no longer are available to free members, and you must pay for all actions now. Of course this will affect many who loved their chat rooms and used them daily, and I am sure all non-paying members will not be staying on their site, like myself. I refuse to be forced to pay, to just chat with others, the website never quarantined any meetings or encounters either and never will, and can’t. So, your paying for a chance to chat is all, and look at profiles and have no idea if you can ever meet anyone anymore.

My personal opinion and experience with Adult Friend Finder’s Networks, was fun for the many years I was there, I must admit. Sadly, it is now over for me and many like me I believe. I will not be paying for the site, and I will move on and search for a different place to chat and play. Google will be a place to search for such a chat or adult dating sites, and I will hunt and peck till I find one I like.

The change in AdultFriend Finder andit’s networks was caused by a rift between the owners, as I understand it. So, in the end these updates and changes have been made, and all get charged from now on. It seems one owner is doing this to force the other owner into some action or to kill the site. It’s a sad thing to see, but life will go on for all of us non paying members I am sure, as we search for a new place to chat and interact with other adults who are like minded. I wish all well that I knew in Adultfriendfinder, if they stay there. I have no harsh feelings toward the site, or anyone in it or on it. I just do not see it as being worth the price to stay there or join at this time and date.

Supreme Court Decisions to be made !


It is time for the Supreme Court to listen to Arguments on some very important subjects and laws in this land, we call America. The Supreme Court must put aside any political bias, or personal preferences for the decisions it is about to make .

First the abortion issue is up today and in my mind, I think the Supreme Court should remember, there is a thin line between a woman’s health and the health of an unborn fetus. Secondly, it is a decision that must include the fetus yes and also the mother to be. Let me say this, I am pro-life yes, as long as the child and mother are healthy. Yet we all know, the health of both is not always as normal as should be, the conditions that place the child is at stake is not more important than the mothers. It is equal on both ends of this equation. Secondly, who are the Justices to tell a mother when she can have an abortion or can’t. That decision belongs with the woman and it is her body and child she is trying to save or not, is it not? If the woman does not wish to carry the fetus to full term, due to rape, or other health matters that may take her life, it should be the woman’s decision, not the courts or states she lives under or in. I know what I am saying is hard to understand for the Supreme Court, yet, should a mother be forced to die so her fetus survives but she doesn’t ? No, the woman is carrying the child and wants the child, that much is true, but, there comes a time and condition or conditions that giving birth can kill the mother. At that point the mother is still the only educated and intelligent half of this equation and needs to be able to make the decision for both involved. In the cases of not just medical condition, the Court must take into consideration the fact women get raped, or get pregnant at young ages due to mistreatment by adults, and they should not be forced to bring a child into the world they do not want. That’s my Opinion on today’s Supreme Court Discussion and the case they are hearing. There must be a federal law overriding the states, because the Supreme Court must protect both fetus and mother, and if either is needed to be saved, they should be. If a woman, needs a abortion due to medical reasons she should be able to have one, to save her own life.

Next the Supreme Court has to decide and debate Immunity for a President and under what conditions that applies, regarding Donald J. Trump, a former President of The United States. Let me say this first and foremost, no American President has ever had full Immunity for crimes committed as President and that in fact is the truth for the full length of America as a country. This decision or case which ever the Supreme Court wishes to label it, is now an issue that is dangerous for America and the world at large also. The only Immunity a President should have is for actions performed as a part of his job as President, there is no way what has occurred in Ex-President Trump’s case should be covered, It was not an official act of the Office of The Presidency, to call Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and others to Washington, DC. and tell them to march to the capital and stop the counting of the electorial votes for the 2020 Election. His speech on January 6th, 2021 and the ones before it calling people to the Capital are not official acts of a President. Never in American history has any President attempted to stop the electorial count, nor has any President ever called people to the capital and destroyed it so and endangered so many people and ended up killing people. Add on top of this Trump’s actions as he left the presidency after being voted out of office, the taking of Top Secret and Secret Documents to Mar A Lago, in Florida, to his home. What did he need said documents for, why did he hide them, and why did he have them, what was his purpose with them and who did he show them to.? The Supreme Court must understand that any Immunity for the Presidency is for official acts done as President in the performance of his duties for the country, not for the individual. I can see if the President needs Immunity due to war actions, dropping of the bomb, or as a direct act he or she must take as President of the United States to protect and defend the country, but not to protect him or herself from illegal acts they themselves did for personal gain, or personal reasons. The Supreme Court must realize, the acts that took place on January 6th, 2021, and after, were not for the good of the United States, and were not done by Trump for the Country’s well being, but for his own personal reasons and purposes. America is 247 years old come July 4th, Justices, and no where in it’s history has an American President been immune from illegal acts like Trump performed on January 6th and afterwards. In my opinion, Trump should have been arrested on January 6th, 2021 and charged immediately. Yet, because he was President he was not, and that is wrong, for no American is above the law in America. Even now as it stands today I remind the Supreme Court, Donald J. Trump is under 4 Indictments/ and currently still 88 charges, he is currently on trial in New York. If you give Trump complete Immunity, you also should then go back in history and give that same Immunity to the first President Johnson, and President Clinton and President Nixon also. I remind the Supreme Court though that what Donald J. Trump did, is on par in my book, with treason, no American should be forgiven for that or be immune from that. Just because one is elected to the Presidency, they are not immune for everything they do as President, they can’t be, because if so, you are putting the Presidency Above the Laws of the Land it is supposed to be protecting and defending, in the presidential oath they take. The Oath itself say to protect and defend the constitution of the United States and the laws of the land. Donald J. Trump did not uphold his oath, that he took. He is not immunne from all he did, period, he can’t be. Lets me end this with the following; We have had 46 Presidents, including the current one, none of the other 45 have ever had to ask about Imunnity, or ask for it. None have done deeds or acts that would require them to ask about it. The only reason Donald J. Trump wants Immunity is to keep him from facing the felony charges being brought by the government against him, and the states of New York and Georgia also. Also he wants Immunity to stay out of prison, which anyone would want to avoid of course. In the end, no man or woman is above the law and that is a fact in America. The danger of granting Immunity to Trump for these acts he committed, would be akin to telling future Presidents you can shoot your opponent, or order it, and not be arrested for it if you arer a President. That the Forefathers and creators of America and our Constitution and Laws would never agree to or allow.

I hope you enjoy it and understand it !


Time as we all know, marches on no matter what we do, as we also know we can not affect Mother Nature either. We can only affect the things near to us and that we have the ability to reach, either in nature or in humananity. The truth is mankind is actually limited in many ways, like mental abilities and physical abilities folks. We can only run so fast, we can only calculate so fast, and we can not change nature or time, but we also understand we are limited in our time on this planet. Where we come from, how we act, all depends on those who raise us and then, they depart from the earth. We learn through watching, attempting, and being. We do not have osmosis, or strange new abilities that others don’t, for if you did, you would be cast out of human societies, because people would fear you.

As we grow up in the world some of us like being alone and only enter society as needed. Otherwise we only do so, because we have no choice. We learn in schools of others from kindergarten to college levels, some of us get degrees and use them and some get them and fail to use them for any purpose. Some are labors, some are educators, some politicians, scientists. computer nerds, programmers and more. Others go into medicine, whether nursing or as doctors. There is a vast range of employments, arts, music come into play also.

A few, become special due to high intellect, or physical abilities and they are lucky, for they out show the rest of us who are ordinary in most ways. Very few, remember all that happens in their lives or all they have met or done. Why, because humanity does not like the painful, depressing or injury periods of our lives when they happen, or we have to deal with loses we have experienced in our lives, like when parents die, spouses, die or siblings. These become major changes in how we feel, act and react to others around us and any situation we may find ourselves in. We adapt to it slowly and it takes time to do so, there are many stages when one is recovering from loses, and we all know them I believe, denial, then acceptance, then,depression, then a slow recovery where we realize we can’t change what has happened or bring that loved one back, but we are still here and must carry on. Some when they lose someone special in their lives find a way to just move forward and never look back, but, in my experience and from what I have seen, if someone does not grieve long enough and get through it, they never are the same, nor do they recover, well enough to get involved in others lives, or have anyone in their own.

How we recover and carry on and why is the question here isn’t it? We all need some companionship or friendships in our lives, few are true loners. The Loners as I call them, love to hide from public events, they avoid large crowds, they have lower opinions of themselves, low esteem, and shy from people. Loners like myself, may attend an event, a social function now and then, just to be seen, or to feel like we belong, but then, we know we don’t really, do we? We make weak attempts to fit in, and get along with all around us, because we know we have to to survive. We all have our own personality faults, we all have our own emotional difficulties and we all have feelings we hide, from others. Some of us do so greater than others, and know better then to reveal the truth, of ourselves.

I know, many who are extroverts, who get along with all and will say or do anything I fit in. I also know introverts, they shy from all, but, still when approached, get along with most. So what’s the real difference here, an extrovert has lil fear, can talk to anyone and control their emotions and what they say or do, all the time, except when excited beyond control. A introvert, will not act out, has some difficulty with fitting in, feels awkward and out of place, and unwanted. Introverts have low esteem, and feel themselves below others in many ways. While a extrovert has great pride and burst forth because of their high esteem, an introvert is the complete opposite and hides. Otherwise both have different ways of handling societial norms on a daily basis, so to say. At 68, years old I have witnessed much of what I am speaking, I have lived it and experienced it, and acknowledged it, and accepted it. And if you as an individual stop and examine yourself you will find, you are either one or the other yourself.

What causes us to be either depends on how we were raised, by whom we were raised, what, they have taught us, how they have treated us as we grow up. The importance of parents in this world is vital, for anyone and everyone. Yet, there must be a balance in how we raise our children. We can’t give them everything they want, that’s just spoiling them, we can’t deny all they want either. We can’t not discipline our children and teach them right from wrong, for without discipline we have chaos, and our children end up in prisons as adults. There is a delicate balance to raising a child, that one must keep a close eye on at all times. It’s the job of a parent to make sure their child is safe, cared for and taught correctly, which means you need to teach them manners, respect, how to be honest and caring. Other wise they shall be cast out of society or end up on the lowest tier of said society as we know it. Do, all of us get this delicate balance from our parents as we grow up, no, if we did society would be a perfect thing and it is not. Human Kind is not perfect, society is not perfect nothing is, is it? So, as we raise our children in the world today, we must not only teach them well, discipline them well, and educate them well, we must also make sure we teach them how to care for themselves and the ones they love also. Yes, it’s a complicated scheme to do, and no it is not easy, yet, it can be done.

Stop putting your children down, stopped hitting them or screaming at them. For it is the abuse you put up on them, that makes them not fit in. They rebel, they fight back, they strike out at humanity, if you raise them wrong, for they lack the attention they need growing up, from their parents. If given that attention when they need it, they can overcome anything, positive reinforcement works, teaching works, emotional support works, being there watching them, guiding them, works folks. And let me say this to all, it matters not what color your skin, what background you come from, what nationality, we all want the same things in life, to be loved, to be respected to be heard, and to live in peace, among humanity. So, do yourself a favor, I don’t care what your color, race, or nationality may be, what country you live in, remember, your children are the future for mankind on this planet we call earth, take the time to raise them right, take the time to listen to them, communicate with them, help them emotionally and physically if needed. For you are making mankind better if you do !

You may not agree with all I have said here, but, my opinion is just that my opinion. And in the world today, and especially here in America, we all still have a right to our opinions and to voice them as necessary, as long as we do not harm anyone else. So, this is my opinion and thought for today, made into a blog post !. I hope you enjoy it and understand it !
