Something to Think About

What is Wrong with Wrong?

We hear about sin, we hear about wrong doing, we hear about criminality and all liked terms. Maybe you've even heard of one that I have never heard. Sin is a term used from a moral or religious perspective to define unacceptable states or behaviours. Criminality, on the other hand, just as unacceptable, is defined by established laws, which also encompass moral issues. But why is wrong wrong?

If I should bite you now, what would happen to you? If I should bite you because I hate you, what would happen to you? If you should bite me back, what would happen to you and I? What would happen to us? Wrong doing/being, sin, crime, all these things hurt other people. It hurts us all; it hurts the people who experience it and it makes the ones who do these things worse.

Wrong doing and wrong being does not cause peace. It does not encourage patience, or love, or joy. It creates and is a result of negativity; whether of mind or person. It creates a cycle of pain. None of these emotions are good for us. Studies, such as ones discussed by Nadine Jung et al, "How Emotions Affect Logical Reasoning: Evidence From Experiments with Mood-Manipulated Participants, Spiker Phobics, and People with Exam Anxiety," shows some of the effects that negative emotions have on our thinking, self perception, how we react to things around us, even how we make decisions. It highlights research that proves that negative emotions have negative consequences on people; sometimes far reaching consequences.

Wrong doing creates a cycle of negativity; it is a burden to all of us, and it is clear that negativity does not nurture our humanity or any good thing inside us. Therefore, we should avoid anything that causes us to experience, be or do wrong. Whatever you wouldn't like done to you, don't do it to others. The question is, are we capable of preventing ourselves from hurting others all the time? There is no human being I know alive, who can say that they have never unintentionally or intentionally hurt someone. Since this is so, you should ask yourself why.

Everyone, these days, is afraid of getting a huge gut. 😊 And of course we all understand why, right? Well, huge stomachs, unless you are pregnant, are associated with poor health, right? Sometimes when I'm walking on the road, and I see people with huge stomachs, I wonder how they got those really, big bellies. I have heard that drinking a lot of beer regularly can cause you to get a big belly. I have heard eating late at nights, and then going to sleep does the same thing. Even lack of activity is said to be a culprit. And maybe these are all legitimate causes. But recently, I discovered another culprit for a big gut. I bet you will never guess what. Seriously, you would never think about this one. Let me give you some time to wrack your brain 😁😁😁😁😁😁. Here it is.....your belly is full of sh_t. Yep. It appears that if you haven't done a detox, especially a colon cleanse in a while, your intestine is packed, and loaded with all that excess baggage. If you have a tummy,

Coal: An Enemy in Disguise I cringed in horror when I began to do some reading about the topic of coal mining and burning. I was shocked to find out that despite the many discussions amongst world leaders about reducing coal usage and seeking out cleaner energy to save our planet, by reducing green house emissions, several of the world’s economic power house countries are still using coal increasingly, because it is cheap. The Union of Concerned Scientists USA and Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) both have articles on their sites purporting this very fact; coal for energy is still a big business. Despite the fact that it is an energy, labour and capital intensive operation, as stated in the article that the Doctors for the Environment Australia wrote, it is still being used primarily to produce electricity in large quantities. The devastating impact that coal has on the societies in which it is mined and or burnt is appalling. I was shocked to note that the coal

Never Give Up!

Life can be a chore. Sometimes it gets exciting, and you get hopeful. But sometimes it crashes, like a torpedo taking a dive, and you feel like, well, crap. These ups and downs of life are really based on our feelings. Feelings change everyday, many times. To determine that your life is a failure or success based on your feelings is therefore unreliable and dangerous. Why? We go through so many things everyday. Some things are bad and some things are good. If every time you feel bad about something, you become hopeless and sink into despair, you are putting your whole life at risk, over a moment in time. And conversely, if you have something great going on now and you feel good and make decisions on how you feel, even though you might be happy now, those decisions might make you unhappy later. Never make decisions on your feelings. I know this now, because I have made the mistakes and I have gotten so low in my feelings that I have actually attempted suicide more than once. Don
