Lessons From My Species

by jlsavell

Things I have learned from my species

1. Liberals and conservatives love to hurl insults at each other.

2. Man's derisive and divisive nature are perfect ingredients for unrest.

3. Man's perception of health-care is an oxymoron, should it not be sick-care?

4. Man's impersonal attitude toward our Earth will be the real culprit of nature's extinction.

5.  Imperfect man cannot look to imperfect man to solve man's mounting problems.

6. Man who believes in Evolution cannot explain the astute precise calibration of the Universe.

7. Man who believes in Creation cannot explain survival of the fittest.

8. Man's inherent need to worship creates many belief systems, but none seem to have a great impact on preventing man's inhumanity to man.

9.  Man's moral guideposts  are splintered by selective ethics.

10.  A man who cannot see the forest for the trees, most often, cuts them down.

11.  A man who has lost his vision has smothered his dreams.

12. A man who ignores the vast sea of knowledge this world has to offer, limits himself to vast possibilities and experiences this world has to offer.

13.  A man who believes in Heaven and Hell has two perceived options; walk the straight and narrow, or just hang loose in an uptight world and go with the flow.

14. A man who believes that there is a better reward beyond death, will still try like hell to hang on to life..why is that?

15. A man who fills his heart with love and compassion, has no room for hate or judgement.

16. Man has the inherent ability to choose his attitude, but all too often he chooses an attitude that gets him nowhere.

17. Man does not like to have his toes stepped on, it raises his ire.

18. A man who is quick to anger is putting his heart in danger.

19. A man who reflects on his actions with a humble heart has a lot of wisdom.

20.  A man who has a constant need to be No. 1 has not learned to let others shine.

21. A man who is not proactive in his life, ends with a lot of could have, would have, should have, in his baggage.

22. A man who loves to stir a lot of crap, likes the smell.

23.  Man's understanding of a closed mind is someone who does not think like himself.
