This is what I’m talking about: anger. Sure, it’s healthy to be angry, but not for 40 or more years.

When I survived a cardiac arrest last year, it changed some of my outlook on life. For one, I stopped being so bitter. As I said, I had lost a good friend to the lasting effects of this war, but it took this arrest to make me finally give it up. Sure I miss my friend every day and I’m mindful of those who helped exacerbate this war and cause death and injury to so many (not to mention the mistreatment of those who came home from war). But now the bitterness is behind me. And I think I’m healthier for it.

Today, if someone reprehensible passes from this life, I may not feel sad for him, but neither will I wizz on his grave. I figure that he has appeared before God...God has looked over the ledger he keeps for all of us...and He has made his decision regarding Mr. Cronkite. Just as He will with all of us when our time comes. I’d rather just leave it at that.

NEVER FORGET

.

The blood of many poor S.E. Asian souls just drips from the sleeves of one WALTER CRONKITE.

Still..!!!

For the People of a once FREE South Vietnam to this day coninue to live enslaved lives, minus any Human Rights, in a now Communist Vietnam.

And those victims who were thus unwillingly sent to their Eternity ahead of time by the enslavers ...are now filling one WALTER CRONKITE in on the details.

For, our time in Eternity is spent as we lived here on the Earth ..either with the LOVE Itself ..or not.

A healthy attitude. With all that's going on in the world today, it's important to remember that "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."
