SIGN AFL-CIO Petition against GOPigs taking American Economy Hostage - AGAIN.

AFL-CIO

Stand Up to the Hostage Takers

The bullies in Congress are threatening to hold our economy hostage to get their way on painful benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other important programs.

Sign our petition to let these extreme right-wing legislators know you won’t stand for it.

02.16.13 'Loving got stomped, twice, as I slept last night....'

Same group of early 20's two legged refuse - a group of three.  Laughing like hyenas.  It was raining so none of the other homeless were around, none of the usual passers by, so these walking turds, my brothers all, these cowards got their jollies stomping a homeless guy.  Both times it caught me off guard, but thinking of it for an hour after the second - what a gift, what a lesson; what a reminder.

How do I know what I'm here for?  Maybe it is to absorb some of the evil, hatred, wreckage embodied in these three, with last night's terrorization by them, or tonight's getting my head bashed in.  They'll only victimize so many people, so many times before they see their own evil and stop, or are stopped by the police.  Being part of the absorption of their evil, from them, Redeeming, Ransoming... so another(s) don't suffer... that, THAT would be worth my Life, for sure.

The Great Apostles of Loving - Assisi, Teresa, Gandhi, Jesus, MLK Jr... - are sooooooo sick of the evil, the Fleshly Spirit dominating in the world they are willing to be used in any way, in ANY WAY to absorb, and not add to, all that Hatred, Mean-ness, Lovelessness, Smallheartedness...; and each measure of diminishment of the Fleshly Spirit makes room for, and eventually empowers the Loving Spirit, Christ, God Spirit in others.  [And Serving the neediest, the greatest needs, the founding of the Kingdom, in this way is, IS, = ... Joy, Heaven.  Always.  Loving IS its own reward; the Only Ultimate Reward].

Me too.

ps: Yes, they were three black guys, a predictable product of the hateful environment that we over-privileged white folk have relegated them to grow down in - toxic waste from toxic waste.

pps:  I remember the homeless guy I occasionally saw about 4 years ago who one morning appeared with black eyes, bloody lip, black and blue face.  He'd been sleeping in an ally near a bar frequented by the affluent college kids of DC and a couple of white college guys stomped him bloody.  A different kind of toxic waste, deadly affloholism, breeds toxic waste.

***** Gandhi on Leo Tolstoy: "No one in the West before him or since has written and spoken on non-violence so fully or insistently and with such penetration and insight . . ." (MORE)

Gandhi on Leo Tolstoy

From "The Essential Gandhi," Louis Fischer


[When] I was passing through a severe crisis of scep-
ticism and doubt ... I came across Tolstoy's book
The Kingdom of God Is Within You, and was deeply
impressed by it. I was at that time a believer in violence.
Its reading cured me of my scepticism and made me a
firm believer in [non- violence]. What has appealed to
me most in Tolstoy s life is that he practised what
he preached and reckoned no cost too great in his pursuit
of truth. . . .

He was the greatest apostle of non-violence the present
age has produced. No one in the West before him or
since has written and spoken on non-violence so fully or
insistently and with such penetration and insight . . .

[His] remarkable development of this doctrine puts to
shame the present-day narrow and lop-sided interpre-
tation put upon it by the votaries of Ahimsa in this land
of ours. . . . True Ahimsa should mean a complete
freedom from ill will and anger and hate and an over
flowing love for all. For inculcating this true and higher
type of Ahimsa amongst us, Tolstoy's life with its ocean-
like love should serve as a beacon light and a never-
failing source of inspiration. . . .

[No Tolstoy?  No Gandhi.  No Gandhi?  No MLK Jr.
No Jesus?  No Tolstoy  Repeat....  "If you Love me,
you will do greater works than these [because I die
now, and you can continue to grow, and build on my
Teachings,"  Jesus said in John.]

If the liver is not cancer the decision is probably pretty easy - 6 months chemo.

If the liver is cancer, and the prognosis is low odds that treatment will give more than months - is 6 months partial death, for a few months additional, maybe, is that the right choice, use of our kids funds (ALL funds are our kids funds)?  Uh, probably not.

Interesting.  Oh, given the choice, I'll take the availability of another 30 years, to serve, tho I could end it all in a death fast 12 months from now.  LOL.  But I'd take the option, if it is available.  If not?  Hmmm.  How to best serve in the little time left - how to make every precious second left - count for our kids - tho this has been my Life for 12 years now.  Heaven, on Earth, what Jesus died to give us - the Joy of Complete Service to our Neediest.  Mine.
