"Life is hardly respectable..."

heard some bad news on the radio
suicide biggest killer of young people
what a dumb idea
a lot of folks dead themselves due to
having a poor thinking day
drugs can do that to your brain
this is an idea from a fellow who was
around a lot of drugs and a lot of lost people

"Here's the way I feel that these drugs affected us.
They cut off our periphery time sense, so here we
just were, floating. Our minds were scattered.We
weren't worrying about where we were going or
where we had been. After a length of time of this,
we wanted to go somewhere. We saw that there is a
light ahead; there are things to be done, in each
community and in each heart. So we started trying
to make it towards this light, but we could not steer
the boat. We had turned loose the tiller, the boat was
awash in the sea. When you're lost in superstition and
dope, you're lost. A lot of people were."  Ken Kesey

now I do not want to put down other peoples entertainment
but so that people know
there are no super heros
no spider man or super woman
Harry Potter can not do magic
game of thrones is a bad example of
a world
in fact
and facts make for good companions
much better than magicians and sorcerers
i think one of the reasons young people give
up on life is that they never get a good grip
on the real world
too much superstition

there are things to do which are
interesting and will help you and
others- you have to find out what they are
there is a fellow who wrote a good book
about his experiences in 4 concentration camps
Victor Frankel "Mans Search For Meaning"
he had a system of thought he called
Logo-therapy
he had a chance to see if it was workable
when he was in 4 concentration camps
his idea was that people have to have goals
to give meaning to their lives
I like to observe nature and try to help
out with picking up some garbage
it is not much but it helps me and nature

"Life is hardly respectable if it has no generous task,
no duties or affections that constitute a necessity of
existence. Every persons task is their life preserver."
