I've had an amazing weekend, and I want to share it with you all, that you may derive strength and hope from it.
I've touched a few lives and been touched with an outpouring of love this weekend, and done so in meaningful ways. From my beloved lady, to several very close internet friends, we've had heart-to-heart talks and made some tremendous plans.
America is in grave danger. We stand on the precipice of having one-party rule by the Democrats at a national level. That, coupled with the heinous plans of the Globalist W.E.F. people, scares me greatly. Their plans are, simply put, sinister.
Yet, even with the foreboding background of a looming and dangerous future, we still can make meaningful connections and love one another. We marry, we form dear and lasting friendships, we might even have children... though I have never been blessed in that particular manner.
The politics of this time are dark and frightening. Yet, you can still carve out a wonderful loving live. We are fortunate to be alive, at this time, sharing the beauty we find in one another.
Never forget this, and remember, our time is short. Bring love and beauty to your friends, your family, your loved ones. Bear in mind the warning I one read was on a Roman tomb:
Keep that in the forefront of your mind, and live each day to your fullest, despite the foolishness of our so-called elected officials. They don't matter, your people do.
And that is EXACTLY what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote, isn't it?
My rules for a good day — there are only three with one overrider:
(1) Laugh or smile about something. Anything.
(2) Get someone else to laugh or smile about something. Anything.
(3) Learn something new.
The overrider: have faith in and pray to God.
No. Should I be?
You Broke AI again.
My thoughts
If AI ever becomes capable of writing this, then I have two observations:
1) We will have developed an AI that is not dangerous to humanity, and
2) We will have developed an AI that has emotional intelligence.
Both are worthy goals.
Both are worthy goals.
Sure.
Kylie is such a piece of a&&.
I’d hit it.
OMG
That was from 25 years ago
She is still HAWT
Thank you for this reminder, Laz. It has been easy lately to get caught up in focusing on all of the wrongs, and I need to do a better job of treasuring the rights.
You have arrived at a Buddhist Truth.
All things will pass, they are impermanent, and so we enter the present moment fully, unhindered by the past or future, love is the only extant thing that will survive the force of impermanance.
One day this body will be a corpse, so concentrate on liberating yourself and others from the cycle of suffering , old age sickness and death.This is the way of the Bodhisattva Warrior.
Human beings can liberate themselves in this way. Whole Kingdoms have been established on this principle over the last 2600 years.Such as that of Ashoka Maharaja , and the Kings of Shambhala.
Thank you for your brilliant reminder Laz, and my heart sings that you have achieved peace and love in your life.Say hello to the Humble for me.
That's a pretty good summation of what the 2nd Amendment is all about.
So very touching. True words of wisdom from a special kind of guy. Always knew you were one of a kind, Laz.
Hear! Hear!
Remember, while we may not be able to control the actions of elected officials, we can control how we respond and shape our own experiences.
