It's All About A Person's Actions.
I'm not blogging every day now... not because I feel to keep things inside.. but because I don't have a whole lot on my mind other than the things I have mentioned time and again in my blog. This Friday may be a day of sequestration... which could be possible furloughs for us.. who knows.. at this point.. it just seems like they're drawing out this long closure process and I am tired of being in limbo.. if they are going to shut it down.. which I am certain they will.. I wish they would go ahead and announce it.. so I know what my options are. I cannot plan anything without a solid foundation of having a job... somewhere.. so I wait... and wait.. still waiting...
I had a discussion with someone this weekend... a friend.. and his outlook was that there is only one truth.. I tend to agree with that.. but the problem is that so many people interpret the "truth" so many different ways. That's why there are so many "Christian" denominations.. all have the Bible.. but each will interpret the words differently... and each has a strong belief what they interpret... it's called faith... people have different faiths throughout the world... and I do know that I cannot judge other people's interpretations if that is what they truly believe... nor do I feel justified in challenging their beliefs... I live my way the way I feel is right.. and people can look at me and decide if that is the way they want to live their life also. When I was a kid.. we would play a game.. called.. "gossip" it was more fun with more people... but the first person would write down something on a piece of paper.. then whisper it very quickly to the next person ... and so on... it could only be whispered once.. and that person had to make a guess at what was said.. if it wasn't clear... this just showed what one phrase could end up as.. if it was misinterpreted... I think this world is full of misinterpretations.. most of the conflicts in our society are brought about.. because of lack of communication or misinterpretations. There are people who read through my blog.. and I am certain now there are some that don't understand what I say... or they think I'm talking about them... so.. when I write some things.. it might be thought that I am aiming things I say at a particular person.. but almost always... there are far more instances than just one that cause my words to sound out about something. I don't come about a belief.. based on one set of circumstances... and it takes a lot to get me to change my beliefs. I won't say they will never change... but I have a solid foundation in all of my ideas... the way I see things are not always unbiased... but my circumstances have molded my opinions to the way they are now. If someone wants me to believe another way.. they better have a lot of time to convince me that I might be mistaken in my belief.. because I don't listen to words.. it's all about a person's actions.
