I had an epiphany this weekend, and although I wish it could have led to better results, I do believe the conclusion was for the best. I have been friends with a couple for about ten years now; I had thought us to be best friends over that time. I recently found that his wife has been spreading rumors and intentionally sabotaging relationships with people whom have been close to me. I didn't want to believe the things people were telling me, so I just spent the better part of a year going to the sources themselves. After all, I have known these people for over ten years; I was not going to just believe anything out of hand. Recently I tried to talk with them both about this, presented the information I had found, and she immediately became defensive and elusive. I talked with him and the only thing he could say was she is my wife. I do not feel anger toward him; I understand his position but still have to sever ties with both of them. I do not need people in my life who wants to encourage drama and whom are untrustworthy. To you L however, I dedicate this little blog!

With the political circus going full swing, there have been many arguments or heated discussions with my friends and associates. I cannot and will not say who is right or wrong in the end, but I will say this:
Dear Fellow Americans,
Just to let you know, not everyone agrees with you. As a matter of fact, most probably don’t but they are still your friends.
When you post something to a social network and use blanket comments accusing someone of being “xyz” because they don’t agree with you, you are showing your intolerance and narrow mindedness. For every “truth” someone posts, there will always be an exception. Get over it.
No one is perfect; therefore, stop accusing people being hypocrites.
Those who rely on their feeling will most like disregard the facts and those who rely on facts will disregard feelings. It is how things work. Facts based folks need feelings types to teach them how to enjoy life. Feelings types need the facts folks to teach them how to survive.
Nothing is fair. Not supposed to be. Can’t be. Equal access does not mean equal results. Remember, humans with unequal motivation and unequal knowledge are involved.
Statistics mean nothing because they can be manipulated.
Crazy people do crazy things. Stop trying to group crazies with another group just to justify your hatred for the group. The only group they belong to is the crazy group.
If you don’t believe in God, stop blaming him for everything. A natural disaster is just that, nature. If you do believe in God, start acting like he was sitting next to you. If you don’t believe in praying, don’t. No one is going to stop you. Don’t stop others from praying. If you do believe in praying, pray. Pray you will still love others who seek to stop you.
Most quotes are misquoted. Try reading the quote in context for once.
Life is life and death is death. Period. Regardless of the means.
Sometimes you have to agree to disagree. Move on and don’t be offended. Embrace disagreements because they are better than apathy.
Your actions are your actions. Your circumstances are the result your actions. Stop blaming others. There is always someone with the same issues who has come out of the same circumstances.
Stop looking at the rest of the world and saying “it works for them.” They are not us and we are not them. Deal with it.
You can be trusting and still be vigilant.
Compassion is you giving of yourself, not forcing others to do the same.
There is no such thing as an accident. All are the result of someone’s negligence.
Failure is not an option; it is a mandatory step towards a future success.
Like I said above, not everyone will agree with me.
Sincerely,
Me
