BETWEEN THE MEDS AND COLOR TV...THATS A TOUGHIE

I DO BELIEVE WE ARE IN A TOUGH SPOT. JUST FROM A PURELY SUBJECTIVE VIEW POINT, ONE PROBLEM I SEE FROM MY EXPERIENCE...IT IS HARD TO GET ANYBODY TO OPEN UP BEYOND THEIR OWN CIRCLE...WE HAVE BECOME CLOSED OFF TO ONE ANOTHER. HELPING OTHERS IS OUT OF FASHION...WE ARE NOT OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER ANY MORE. THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED PERSONALLY, THAT IS IGNORED WHEN I REACH OUT, IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING...IT'S HARD TO GET ANYONE TO RESPOND TO THE MOST ELEMENTAL REQUEST.

THIS TO ME SHOWS THE LACK OF CIVILITY THAT IS AT THE CORE OF HUMAN RELATIONS WHEN THEY ARE HEALTHY. THIS COUNTRY'S FOCUS ON GETTING WHAT'S MINE AND MY GROUP'S, MY ETHNICITY, AND HOORAY FOR OUR SIDE MENTALITY THAT STARTED IN THE 70'S HAS DEBASED OUR LAND AS MORE AND MORE GROUPS BORROWED THE IDEAS FROM THE LEGITIMATE STRUGGLE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS FROM AFRICAN AMERICANS AND DEBASED IT INTO A FREE FOR ALL TO EVERY ONE WITH THE SLIGHTEST CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER.

PSYCHOLOGISTS OF THE DAY ALSO SPREAD THIS MENTALITY FAR AND WIDE. THAT I NEED TO THINK OF MYSELF FIRST. WHICH IS GREAT ADVICE FOR THOSE IN NEED. BUT WHEN IT IS APPLIED TO THE GENERAL HEALTHY POPULATION IT BECOMES VERY DESTRUCTIVE. BLAME IT ON SELF HELP BOOKS. MOST PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO BE MORE GENEROUS BUT THEY ARE ADVISED AGAINST IT. IT'S A WALLED OFF SOCIETY, EACH PERSON IS SHUT OFF TO OUTSIDERS. WE HAVE FORGOTTEN AND FORSAKEN THE LARGER TRUTHS IN EXCHANGE FOR WHAT IS TRUTH ON A SMALL SCALE. I.E. THIS IS TRUE FOR ME AND IMPORTANT TO ME, SO IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AND DESERVES JUST AS MUCH ATTENTION AS THIS LARGER TRUTH.

I'VE GOT THIS BLISTER ON MY FINGER AND TO HELL WITH THE CANCER PATIENT. IT IS A CONFUSION OF PRIORITIES SPREAD BY THE PRACTITIONERS OF PSYCHOBABBLE. STRAINING AT A GNAT AND SWALLOWING A CAMEL. THEY HAVE THEIR TRUTH AND ONLY WISH TO ENLIGHTEN AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WHO WILL BUY THEIR BOOK, NOW IN PAPERBACK.

AND DID I MENTION THE MEAN PEOPLE ON TALK RADIO? THESE PEOPLE ARE EXCELLENT TALKERS AND THEY ARE GREAT AT BLAMING THE OTHER SIDE FOR WHAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE GUILTY OF. IT'S A VERY OLD SALES GIMMICK...PRESENT YOUR PRODUCTS GREATEST WEAKNESS AS ITS STRENGTH. NO ONE WILL DARE CALL YOU ON IT.
