Me and my lucky break

My wish as always is that you are having a Happy Monday.

Half filled minds occupied with dreams of possible accomplishments should the day ever come when I am given my lucky break then I shall have a ball. Although I do not even know if I am pursuing the things that may generate a lucky break. When I stop to wonder and examine the possibility of my lucky break happening then I am told that I stand a better chance of being hit by lightning this year than have a lucky break. My chances of being hit by lightning this year I am told is one in a million. So I fantasize about the things that I would do should my wildest dreams ever come true. I have already defied a one in  nine million odds so maybe something will happen for me.

Then it occurred to me that should my lucky break comes then I would be totally unprepared for my good fortune. Oh yes, I would be immersed in me and ignore the need for productivity (If i was involved in productivity I would not be involved in idle wishing). I would go about gorging myself like a swine and forget that ahead of me was the remainder of my lifetime so the hours that I spent in idle dreams then would become my ruin. Should common sense prompt me to invest then how would I know what product was the best.

My lucky break has come and will continue coming my way because in me there is a God given talent and multiplied abilities. Also in every person alive there is latent possibility but whether the odds are one in twelve thousand or one in a million I do not like those odds against my lucky break happening. I prefer to keep myself busy developing and utilizing my God given talents and abilities. When I am equipped should my luck break come then I shall be ready.

Fate would certainly be unkind if it knew that I did not know how to handle $10,000 and it chose to hand me a $1,000,000. If however I had worked hard and through diligent savings and investing I accumulated $10,000 and the good fortune smiled and my lucky break comes and I got $1,000,000 then I certainly be more prepared to handle a large sum of money.

The things that happen suddenly and unexpectedly in life are often destructive and this is why I become more amused as I watch persons trying to evade waiting to get things done. The joys of delayed pleasure has been lost and the guiding principle has become "I want it now." The chance of my lucky break happening while I am bust multiplies immensely.

I have discovered that I can follow one of two principles in life in that I can sit and do nothing while hoping that my lucky break will come. The other principle is that I can set a goal based on my God given talents and abilities and persist until the goal is accomplished. The good thing is that this is what every person can do and what I encourage every person to do.

It is only in science that I read of nothing becoming something and I suspect that if nothing becomes something then sooner or later it will return to its original state. I have set my goals and if the Gods smile and I get a lucky break I shall embrace it but because my chances of a lucky break are so slim I prefer to work toward a goal.

Race, religion and politics

My wish as always is for you to have a Happy Monday.

"You don't have to know all the intricacies of how a car engine operate but it should be enough for you that when you put the key in the ignition the engine turns and you are able to drive the car ." 

I have heard that statement often and I have come to the conclusion that it is a very silly answer to give to an inquisitive mind. It is a response that indicates I do not know the answer and I have no idea where to find the answer. This also is a nice way to say just accept what you are told and do not ask questions.

The above quote maybe will be accepted by a primary school teacher but would not go down very well with auto mechanic students. The teacher who does not encourage questions in the class room leaves the students to find answers outside of the classroom.

We are living in a world that we had hoped had reached a point where we can tolerate differences. Unfortunately our differences may ultimately become our destruction because race,religion and politics continue to divide us and the innocent are losing their lives.

We can either be tolerant of each other as human beings or have the United Nations formulate a standard to which persons who think that they are superior must subscribe, or formulate tests and examinations that these person must pass. However 100% of those considered inferior must fail the tests and exams . It should not be in a country that a person's value is based on the color of his skin. The USA continue to provide entertainment  because persons who will never qualify for the highest offices sit in a corner twiddling their thumbs knowing they will never achieve the standards of those they consider inferior.

The gods does not cater for any competition and so encourages the destruction of the followers of other gods. It is man who fight the battles of the gods because the gods look on and give to man their commands. Man find it necessary to demonstrate the superiority of his god and this is demonstrated in the destruction of his fellow man. There now rises a problem because with the advent of mass killing by way of suicide bombing and other means of mass destruction the god are not selective of who dies. This will ultimately provide a problem for the gods because their own are being destroyed along with the enemies. It is because of this that  the very thing that should draw followers to the gods becoming a deterrent from following the gods.

We live in a world where a country having an undisputed leader is discouraged. The citizens of a country should determine their leaders and the most popular person with the people should be the leader. Alongside this  concept is encouraged divergence of ideologies and these ideologies provide checks and balances in government. This entrenches  and encourages factions and divisiveness among the citizens of countries. This we are told is healthy for democracy

Here is the world in which we live today, we live in a world where those who twiddle their thumbs look on their superiors and continue the centuries old claim that the color of their skin make them supreme. Instead of allowing the gods to fight their own wars to determine which god is superior, mankind continue destroying each other in the name of the gods and religion. Some who are seeking political office capitalize on the belief of some that claim they are supreme because of skin color while seeking to banish the gods.These politicians advocate ideologies while knowing other will oppose their ideologies.

The uninitiated and ignorant are asking questions and the teachers continue to give the answer that you don't have to understand how a car engine operates, be content with knowing that when you turn the key in the ignition the engine starts.

We are living in a crazy world and the ones who should be giving answers have not the slightest clue as to what is happening and so the people are scared but they are being told don't worry.

A tragedy for all

It is ironic that the body camera of two law officers should fail at the very moment when they were needed most and in the very situation why they are give body cameras. However, the camera of others functioned properly and they captured and show to the world the very situation that some groups claim which is that law officers target a specific group.

The USA, it government and people will feel proud of the videos shown across the world of how it’s own is treated especially in light of the fact that the USA police the world and dictate to other states how they should treat their citizens. The USA will also be proud that the action of some law officers are so barbaric that demonstration have gone international over the excesses and abuses carried out by some law officers.

It is even more sad that in response one man took it on himself to execute vengeance so he killed five law officers and wounded another six in retaliation. The death and wounding of these law officers is overshadowed by the horrific events that led to the attack so that there have not been evoked the horror that it should. An attack on a law officer is an attack on the government and also on the society that empowers the government. In a similar way law officers enforce laws that are made by the government on behalf of society therefore the actions of the law officers becomes the action of the government and of the society.

One of the few names that I have remembered from my history class in high school is that of a Roman Catholic priest Bartholome de las Casas. This Roman catholic priest I was taught was the person responsible for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The motive of Christopher Columbus was questionable when he sailed west with the hope of reaching India. Columbus did however open up new land for Europeans to colonize. The priest came along with the new settlers to teach these heathen Christianity. These new settlers were however were more in need of the teachings of Christianity than the natives. According to the historians it was in an effort to save the local population from extermination and genocide at the hands of the European colonizers that Bartholome de las Casas suggested bringing in people from Africa to work the fields.

There is at present debates as to the genocide of the native American population. The historians in order for things to look good claim that the decimation of the native American population over some four hundred years was the result of diseases that the European brought in their bodies and on their breaths. The sure thing is that the native American population has been reduced to fraction of what it was and efforts are being made to have them forget their past and their culture.

The native American population has almost been made extinct so to who does the land now belong.

The African that were brought from Africa did not succumb as did the native population of America. In fact the wealth of America was built on the blood, sweat and tears of these people that were brought here from Africa. Now that America is wealthy it would seek to be rid of those who made it rich. This is why a politician can put up a billboard announcing “Make America white again” and also a third generation American can proclaim that he will send home persons who can trace their ancestry for hundred of years of living in the USA.

It would prove interesting if persons of African descent and other ethnic groups were repatriated to their native lands. This of course would require repatriating the whites to wherever they originated.

If the persons of African descent and other ethnic groups were repatriated then it would be interesting to see who would get exploited and to whom the others would compare themselves.

The persons of African descent has been dehumanized and made to suffer more than any group in the US. The question then begs to be asked why is the person of African descent targeted.

The answer lies in the fact that the person of African descent embodies the other nationals ideals. The person of African descent is both strong in physical constitution and strength of mind. The person of African descent physical strength makes him an object of fear because the oppressors fear that one day he will rise up in rebellion. In physical constitution the others nationalities see in the person of African descent what they would like to be and the qualities that they desire.

In the USA persons of African descent are probably more easily identified than any other ethnic group and comprises approximately 15% of the total population. The impact and contribution of the person of African descent in comparison to their numbers is tremendous. Historically it has been recognized that if the person of African descent is provided the opportunity to use also intelligence then others will be at a disadvantage. This disadvantage comes about because the person of African descent is already of superior physical strength and strength of mind.

The present reality is that the person of Africa descent will continue to be hated and will be portrayed in the worst light. I was cooking and listening to the television and the story was being read of a man who had used a rifle to kill several persons and he was taken into custody by the police. I stopped what I was doing to verify that the man was not of African descent. The newscasts that tell the stories behind the killing of persons of African descent by law officers are ridiculous. These law officers are agents of of the government whether federal, state or local. They are simply doing the wish of society.

The groups that are taking up arms to retaliate against law officers must put down their arms. The ideal condition would be for the government to hold those law officers who break the law accountable but this will not happen because these law officers are simply carrying out the wishes of society. One answer lies in empowerment through education.

There are enough persons of African descent that are controlling enough wealth and influence to train a generation that has their goals being the sky. There is a solid foundation that has already been made and now through education the oppressors can be challenged.

Commemorating milestones

Happy Independence Day and 4th July USA.
My wish is that this will be an awesome and great Monday.

Commemorating important milestones and events provide reminders that countries and people do not necessarily need others to determine their destinies and future. This does not negate the rule of law but highlights the need for laws that are applicable to a particular situation. Independence means that individual people and national wealth should not enrich other nations to their own detriment

One responsibility of parents is to train children to become responsible and independent citizens of their country. This involves preparing the children to make meaningful contributions to society and for these children to recognize that a point in the future they will be the leaders and elders in society.

Our present generation of children need to recognize that at some point in the future there will be a collapse of society and the need to begin all over again. There are at present hints of this and also rumblings as elements in society seek to make mockery of the heroes of the past and to discredit their achievements and contributions. The irony of this being that these persons are willing to destroy and discredit but has nothing meaningful to contribute to society. These are the persons whose death evoke no remorse but rather a sigh of relief. Unfortunately these persons continue to destabilize an already shaky foundation.

Historians it appear were more interested in glamour than facts and even at present there are so many versions of events that it is probably that the truth will never be discovered. Historians glamorize the facts and suppress the truth for so long that now the truth is regarded as a lie. It is the suppressing of the truth that surround the facts that will eventually be the downfall of society. There will not be any learning from the past if the truth surrounding the facts are hidden.

Our celebrations of important milestones are reminiscent of programs on television where sometimes years, months, days or hours of filming is done and then the process of editing takes place to present a one or two hour program. In this again the truth behind the facts is not disclosed so a glamorized version of facts is presented.

We live in a world that embrace the concept that a dirty win is better than a gracious loss. Our world highlights winners and it is through winning that one becomes independent. The weak has a dependency syndrome while the independent desire to make it on his own.
