November 11 Betrayal or Saving Face...So, I never seem to get much sleep anymore due to my back problems. Yeah, I know what yer thinkin, a professional slacker with trouble sleepin, oh boo hoo... So ok, first off : Up Yours Pal. Anyway, in my half awake form of paying attention I happened to overhear some program on the tube about parents in some other countries who have taken it apon themselves to actually kill their own darn siblings and children for what they concider a betrayal of their family or supposed spiritual values... Immedietly 2 things come to mind: #1. Some of these people think that I and my ilk are infidels. Big Whup, I've been called worse. It just seems to me that someone preaching piety and claiming to be so holy who then commits murder against his own family should take a look at his own reflection (even if he has to do it in the bumper of a carbomb) before looking my way and would (myself) have to rethink my priorities if my faith led me to believe that a messenger of God (Not God or even A God mind you) would say anything that would make me act in such a fasion much less adhere to it. Call me an idiot, but I was in middle management for more than a decade and had quickly lost count of just how many times a messanger of mine claimed to understand something I'd told them I needed done only to find that he/she had indeed totally misunderstood and passed on his own idea of what they percieved was what I expected from them, not to mention their underlings. Don't even get me started about following the orders of someone (no matter how revered) who's preachings have been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth etc. without at least concidering the fact that the thoughts themselves might have been misconstrued at least once or twice over the years and the true meaning of the message had been obliterated by someone who may or may not have had sand in their ears... #2. Most importantly to me is the fact that if my own family had thought this way I'd have never reached the age of nine fer kripe sake. I won't even tell you the kind of crap I pulled on a daily basis that sooner or later came back to huant my family. Fortunately for me, not many are around to spread the word so to speak and those who are still here are kept far from the gun cabinet and most of the sharp objects within easy reach (et tu brute) and as for the things I believe in strongly enough to pass down to my children. The most important thing I have handed down is this: Friends may come and go, but blood is blood and right or wrong we pull together come what may... While still on that last subject, let me say this: If indeed a blood relative feels differently, just say the word and I'll be the first to chip in and buy ya a ticket to go play in the world's biggest sandbox along with people who may be more to you're liking... Thats right, I said it and I meant every (infidelic) word!!! IMspidey/M.M. 11/08 Copyright © 2008 Please respect copyright Comments (1)
