HI Mope
I'll be 67 August 11 and then my entire life I've never been is confused
and uncertain to what is going on is now except the only thing I have to
hold onto is that somehow this all means something in the big picture of
life
I have spoke to Christians Muslims Jews Hindus and all the different
beliefs of science-based logic and your name and everyone I've spoke to
seems disoriented and unable to get balance so they're resorting to
taking medication or talking to therapists and counselors to try to find
some kind of balance
At the same time if you just look at the last year or so there has been
more mass shootings entire history of the world has ever known it
doesn't even limited self to the United States as my cab company has a
call center in Serbia and they've even had mass shootings in Serbia just
as Covid was a pandemic I believe negativity and stress has also been a
pandemic
Recently the topic is been about artificial intelligence and let stress
that artificial is the key word yes
What has the entire entertainment industry and the industrial revolution
was about using intelligence in production marketing and in medication
and medical
So I'm going to propose to all my intelligent friends a dream that I had
the other night
I believe when we slow down the mind like we used to think when we were
younger and take baby steps in stress and focus more on all the positive
experiences we had in life that were learned over a long period of time
the computers and cell phones have made the speed of processing
information so quick we cannot grasp it in a stress and it causes
traumatic stress disorder and makes us unable to function
I've started getting many emails on Facebook from so-called famous
people from all walks of life that I've been a fan of however they seem
to be a lot of scams and rackets hucksters dinner just trying to get you
to email them with the intentions of sending money etc. just like a
Nigerian scam of the past
So to counter all this negativities I've taken several days turning off
my television working yet less Internet and slowing down everything I
noticed that people is a stress relief too many of the same things they
think by spending and shopping but it will lighten their lives when in
fact it can cause a deeper problem of debt
remorse after buying new things I did this when I was younger and
wrapped up charge cards to the tune of $100,000 it took me from 1993
until 97 to pay them off with after-tax money
So just as we take a diet with food intake we can diet who is spending
intake and acquiring material things matter fact the older I get the
less I wanted to possess as far as material objects the greatest thing I
found is memories and saw my son taking my scrapbooks of my musical
career and my letters from Adam West and things of that nature after I
thought about it I called him and said look you're my son I prefer you
over my memorabilia so if that will make you happy having my Momentos
even if he sold them or whatever
So consider what is the most important thing I remember back with the
California fires when David kusoMoto grabbed his pet and wife and was
thankful
Remember Maria Shriver grabbed her pictures of her children when she
left her house in California
Many people have suffered recently due to forest fires tornadoes floods
in the lake in February my basement flooded and destroyed a hardwood
subfloor that was in my basement I received quotes of up to $21,000 to
fix it in my insurance company said I did not have backup train
insurance so then I thought if I just get a few of the planks replaced
would that not be sufficient since I'm currently not even walking
The lesson I've learned is count your blessings and most of your
blessings our friendships with people and family and pets a baby
squirrel this morning was outside my wheelchair ramp and was in a crisis
I called the city and they told me that they don't pick them up until
they are dead he was not dead yet so a friend of mine who is the animal
activist told me about natures nursery place in Toledo that seems wild
life like baby ducklings misplaced opossums baby deer Eagles and all
kinds of animals and I thought how wonderful it was that there are
people that care about living things like the little creatures
ironically when the woman came by to pick up the little baby squirrel he
must've got resuscitated because he was gone I thought maybe he had a
Cesar so god works in miraculous ways and hopefully the little squirrel
is back on his feet
So my prayer for all mankind is that we all step back and slow down. use
less lights gas food resources
Just doing reverse of what caused problems seems to be the best cure
Have a small picnic with a few friends or relatives
Go outside and sit on a bench taken all the beautiful nature on a micro
level like butterflies
The over abundance of media through the video television in the lake has
cluttered on mine so much that we don't know what to believe anymore
Yeah it can also be fun to share memories of the past with others try
visiting the old nursing home and sharing some old magazines or historic
newspapers to conjure up their old memories
or educate young kids on who the old silent scream stars were or the
70s or 80s movies because most of them if you question them have a hard
time even remembering who the Beatles were Ringo Starr just turned 83 on
July 7 it's hard to imagine the Beatles are almost 100 years old but
it's true
Just imagine Beethoven in Mozart in the early thespians and William
Shakespeare and even the entertainment of BC and after like the Roman
Colosseum that David
Mentioned a man who is carving his initials into the ruins of him and
his girlfriend
I watched in my short lifetime of 66 years how people forget so many
people weeks after Day die my favorite TV show host was Johnny Carson
and it was just dark Severinsen's birthday he turned 96 on July 7 same
day as Ringo
Let's hope we get to meet all of our favored pop-culture people in
heaven when it's our time to go yes I think that's what we were promised
whether you're Jewish or Muslim or Christian or Hindu even king tut
believe there was in here after
So god bless you all
