Be kind to each other. Even when it is hard. It counts the most then... I do not always succeed in this endeavor.
In fact, I sometimes willfully and full knowledge throw kindness to the wind.
That is mine to own.

Banging the mouse...
Sorry HP I had to borrow that. It is so inclusive of communication today as expressed by some.
I have been watching so many try to impress others with their use of big words, punctuation, and tres fabulous manners of condescension.
I guess that some have not learned yet, that simply expressing the truth has the power to establish intelligence. Even if, your vocabulary isn't huge or maybe you do not spell well.
The same with wisdom.
I have been witnessing this phenomena of feigned intelligence for some time now.
It isn't designed to solve problems or unite people.
It is designed to deceive. Even the user. Or perhaps, especially the user.
I sent an opening volley recently on my other blog. Oh my...the two that stepped to the debate made short work of me.
Because while they have showed theirs I have yet to show mine.
It wasn't really possible with all the inference to my lack of intelligence and irresponsible use of public media.
Yes, because I am far too obtuse to grasp that their way is the only way.
Why is it that people who claim to be invested in solving problems always want to cheat the communication?
I will say this, if, that is what I am up against, I can rest easy. I need not even condition for this race.
The race to end the prolonging of suffering.
Because to me that is what is truly important.
Positive efforts to communicate would have gone a long way towards convincing me of their investment.
Unfortunately, the arrogance once again got in the way.
Eli left me an amazing gift that I have yet to fully embrace and understand how to use.
He left me with a more stern determination. Not a bunch of wing flapping misdirected squawking passion.
Just a single minded determination to keep plowing the row assigned me.
Which goes a very long way towards explaining why I no longer spend as much time banging the mouse.

This Old Man...
He went home...He was a good horse. And that is high and well deserved praise...
Parting really is sweet sorrow.
Rest in Peace Eli 8-4-2009
