[MOPO] MOPO- anyone else confused about everything in the world as wellas poster??

2023-07-09 Thread Tom Martin

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

Fine is still a generous grade. It's missing two corners, the other two
corners have some loss, there is a chunk out of the top border with a 3 +"
tear going into image, multiple smaller border tears, and some minor
scrapes and crimping in the image area. Other than that!

 A. I don't think so. Graded VF?  Someone needs glasses (make sure it's 
a new prescription).
