We Americans have the right to bear arms. I am 100% for this constitutional right.
In regard to the right to own an assault rifle, I have a question for the President of the NRA: Do we need to have such a weapon? When do you believe that you will use it? For what? Against who? Or will you just have it hanging on the mantel for ornamental purposes?
Most people like to talk about other people. It does not make any difference who they are talking about: their relatives including mother, father, sons and daughters, coworkers, people they like and dislike, people in the limelight, ad nauseum!
But the reason why? It is very simple – it is easy to talk, you don’t have to think about it. It comes out naturally.
It seems to me that people who talk about ideas are more open minded.
People who talk about things are similar to those that talk about other people! No brains.
If you are an employee and you are very good at what you do, your employer will want more from you. It is human nature to take advantage of people who are good at things. So watch it! Unless you work for yourself, do not excel.
Most people believe that acquiring material things will make them happy. In reality, acquiring material things is an illusion. Happiness is only given to a person by another, not by material things. The false happiness created by material things wears off. The acquisition of material things to bring happiness is a fallacy. Moreoever, buying unnecessary material things is a waste of money.
As a rule, people like nice faces, appearances, and we’re drawn to the way they look. No one likes to be with a “not so good-looking” man or woman. And that’s the beginning. As time goes by, we do not give as much importance to the physical appearance as to the person as they really are. People come to realize that the way one looks has nothing to do with someone’s personality. We really do not talk to the face, we talk to the inner person. And if we find we do not like that inner person, then the outward appearance ceases to be of any significant importance, or even appealing.
People that want to have a permanent and lasting relationship with anybody must know that the only ingredient is ACCEPTANCE! No individual man or woman is perfect. We all have quirks, defects, and idiosyncrasies that are unchangeable and very difficult to accept.
When time passes by these defects become insurmountable and they will terminate any relationship regardless of who you relate! This includes family members and more so husbands or wives!
Basically, the three ingredients for any successful relationship are:
You cannot achieve happiness in a relationship without these three key ingredients.
When people are young, they believe that sex is about 85% of the relationship, but as they mature, which is rapidly in this aspect, they realize that sex is ONLY 10% and that it is greatly overrated. Therefore, one should not go into a serious relationship solely for the pleasure of sex, because this too shall pass and then what is left?
All people are born with the ability to get angry. I think this a normal condition for human beings. The amount of anger a person has is also influenced by their genetics. I believe that anger can be controlled up to a degree, but then it has to be vented. People with a high degree of anger will most likely commit a violent act, such as punching the wall, hitting the wife, even murder. In order to control your anger, you must know yourself and qualify your anger, in other words, give it a degree. Once you know the degree of your anger, then you can take action. If you have a high degree of anger, go take a walk, take a deep breath, vent your anger by doing something constructive, such as cleaning the house, etc. Physical activity will dissipate your anger. Above all, do not rue. Ruing only makes anger worse.
I believe that serious crimes are ONLY committed by people who are mentally insane. Serious crimes are not committed by sane people. Serious crimes are those such as murder, rape, arson, kidnapping, and pedophilia. People who are capable of committing such crimes are also most likely genetically influenced. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
One of the greatest insults any person can bestow on another person is to IGNORE or REJECT them.
People do not like to be told “no” to anything and everything. They take offense. Take negativity with a grain of salt and don’t get upset.
