Be Kind???

I remember when I was little, my beautiful filipino Grandma used to tell me if I had nothing nice to say, don't say nothing.  I never got that, I guess my genes during development took a vote to be the polar opposite of those exact words.  I am more of a "If you have nothing nice to say, sit next to me" kinda gal.

I can't help myself, I try...I really do but then my brain takes over and I just state the obvious.  I do have feelings, I can't let a stranger cry alone and I find myself really saddened when I see someone eating by themselves but then someone will walk by and erase the kind thoughts immediately.

I wonder if it actually is genetic.  Can I pass this trait on to my kids?  Will they look at an obese woman shoved in spandex wearing a tight short sweater in a pair of stilletto's with feet that look like stuffed sausages stretching the leather to the brink of explosion and think she should be fined for offending my eyesight.

See that was horrible and yet I can't stop myself.  It is a curse I must say, sit next to me and I  manage to turn a normally nice person into the same "sit by'er" I am in less than 5 minutes.  Is it a disease?  As I'm writing this I'm already beginning to think that perhaps it is, my mind wanders into the ridiculous visions I've seen throughout the day and can't remember a single beautiful moment.

Why was that woman wearing pale lipstick with dark brown liner? Why did that man wear his pants so high his belt had to scratch his chin? Why in the world do people think..need I say more.  I am almost 100% sure that someone is doing the same thing somewhere right now, sitting at home with absolutely nothing nice to say and who knows, maybe they're talking about me.

I'm hoping to send a message out to the world....Be kind to others, have something pleasant to say to put a smile on someone's face and never ever,ever sit by me.

Athiests in America!

Apparently there is a sign near the Lincoln Tunnel that shows a Christmas nativity scene with a headline that states "You KNOW it's a myth". Not only is this sign put up during the most holiest of holidays for most Americans, but its utilizing a vision of christianity to prove it's tasteless point. My understanding is this sign has a price tag of over $20,000, I mean to say that someone was willing to invest $20,000 to insult religion during these hardest of economic times for most Americans which is even worse than posting the sign.

What possesses a person or persons to deliberately cause such an uproar during a season that signifies love thy neighbor, when most people who usually aren't actually become pleasant to be around? What was the purpose exactly? To make others feel doubt? Perhaps force individuals to question their faith? A sign will NEVER do that, faith is deep within a persons upbringing, their heart and soul. I'm not saying just Christians, all religious faith is deep within the soul of a person. Why else have most wars and death been surrounded by these faiths if this were not so.

I am a Christian with unfailing faith. I have lost a child and almost everything I own due to the economy, I have never turned my back on God or doubted my faith. I don't force my beliefs on others while I can honestly say that some do, and they do so with strong force and murder. I am not one of those people but I am one to speak my mind and speak it I will.

I have no issues with others beliefs, be it Muslim, Hindu, Buddhism or otherwise, if it makes you feel good to believe in something greater than yourself, so be it. My issues are with the fact that God has already been taken out of our schools, my daughter was instructed to remove the cross on her necklace because it offended other students. I've listened to the argument to remove God from Our Nation's Pledge of Allegiance, OUR NATION'S Pledge of Allegiance! Suck it up people whether you believe in it or not. Everyday I am forced to listen to the incessant baby babble about whining people whose sensibilities can't handle something other than their own mediocre opinion and yet I do not place a $20,000 billboard that says "Suck it UP and grow up you whining excuses for human beings!" Is that not my right?

I am not angry or frightened by athiests, agnostics or satanists for that matter. Just tired of listening to individuals who believe they are in an elite class of human beings with an intelligence beyond my feeble understanding simply because I believe in something you can't touch or see.

Before I give myself high blood pressure from the unending frustration, I take comfort in knowing that at the end of the day, when the plane is about to crash, in that millisecond before it hits the ground...athiests can only place their heads between their knees and kiss their ass goodbye, as for me I will be praying to my God and believing Iwill be with my son and my God in a place much better than this.
