A No-holds Barred World

 I came up with my own word that is a combination of "anger" and "hatred."  It's "hangred."  Everyone seems to be both angry and full of hatred about something or someone.  I choose to try to be neither adopting my own theology that says God only cares about the taking of human life.  But with laws allowing everyone to carry guns and killing for most any reason, I choose to simply avoid the fray and be as forgiving as I say God is.  

This explains my life and living as I do in a nutshell.  Some of you might not believe in God as I do, and really I don't care, but I choose to associate myself only with those whom I believe are innocent.  Which, when it comes right down to it is most anyone.  I once believed the Source of my theology would be widely accepted, but while some have embraced my theology others have brushed it aside.  Philosophically speaking it seems to me such thinking would be universal, but it's not.

There are all kinds of beliefs about what is not forgivable, but for me ALL Human Life is sacred.  This thinking defines who I am, even if I am the only person to accept such a belief.  I won't suggest that even murderers can be redeemed, but if one thinks about the extent of forgiveness up to that point, all else is forgivable, even unbelief.  

Crystal Hefner, who is Hugh Hefner's widow has come out with a new book describing life in the Playboy mansion.  He was 91 when he passed away and she was his widow at 31.  She says of her book that she tries to be nice, but there are people who now need to be aware she points fingers.  Everyone has someone they wish to avoid in life for one reason or another and she is no exception having sold the $5M mansion for a $100M and moved to Hawaii to escape from her previous LA lifestyle.  

It was hard for her to accept Hef's playboy lifestyle and after his passing she stayed in the mansion until she could get top dollar for splitting the assets with his children.  So now, she has published her memoir of life in the mansion.  

We live in a cancel culture era.  It might be easy to become an influencer, but it is just as easy to be written off.  Personally, I don't worry this because I have a Source for the way I think and believe, but people can drive me nuts for the way they believe.  But whenever I reach that point, I say it's not my problem.  I am not changing the way I think for anyone, even if I am alone.

In fact, I am my very best when I am alone.  I never feel lonely, but such a life might drive some crazy.  I ponder the issues of others and consider solutions in my solitude.  I expect Divine solutions to problems as I ponder them.  But this is me and such thinking is acquired and not taught.  But it's not that I sit around and twiddle my thumbs, because I am almost always lost in thought and meditate.  

Smoking my pipe keeps me relaxed and focused.  When I do this I often don't care what others are thinking and I am prone to overthink almost anything.  My pipe is a tool that keeps me in the moment.  Even still, I am not an evangelist for pipe smoking, but I say that whatever you do for meditation is your own thing.  Everyone needs quiet time from this fast-paced chaotic world.  This is what I do by choice.  Today it is my Peterson Sysyem pipe  with the last of my Tropical Export.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
