Faith

Faith – when I believe better in others and don’t worry I feel encouraged.  Trying to believe the best in people and understanding the truth of the matter is hard. Patience Guns and Roses

Futurama – the good, it shows some real life problems, and lifestyles

The bad – with the wrong health problems sexual jokes get annoying

Some people with health problems miss somethings.  Seems obvious but it is more complicated.  Perception of life can be completely different for different people.

If you don’t have certain health problems it is not always easy to judge what someone is going through.  Without that information the right words and the right predictions are tough.

The good and bad – other shows can be used in combination to change meanings.  Hollywood can work together in multiple projects over time.  Conveying complex information for better or worse.  Add in drugs and alcohol and people can be more susceptible.  The show you saw 5 years ago can be used as a way to convey a point or can be used as a tool of manipulation.  We have records of the shows people watch.  

People think hey I am just watching TV, no big deal.  Sometimes turning off the electronics is better.  People that are offline can spring up online.  People that are offline can be seen as out of the control mechanisms.  People can paint a picture over industries to illustrate a point.  Some people can miss part or all of this. Multiple super computers in the world competing to make their model happen.  Industries could fight other industries.  Media and art might be more obvious than restaurants and bars.  Composition matters and not everyone is aware of that.  Something right for one company might be wrong for another company in a completely different industry.  

Financial models could take this into account.  Better for us doesn’t always mean better for them.  Things have got progressively more difficult the past 10 years.  That makes me worry.  Don’t have enough contacts to know if it is more widespread and not localized to me.  Seems like we are headed for trouble.  Though I don’t know where from.  Seems like a snowball that is out of my control.  

I feel like the right words or the right prayer could change everything quickly for the better.  I mean that in a good way, better days for all people.  If people think better of what I am writing this would build faith.  Hearing the version that people think better of and hearing the versions people could think worse of at the same time is really hard.  When I type I feel this and it makes it tougher.  Wanting people to think the best and knowing some versions but maybe not all versions of how they could misread the information.  Add on comedy shows that misrepresented to get more ratings makes it even tougher.  A word could be a curse word in a different language I don’t know.  It could appear in sexualized shapes I do know but since I don’t know the word in that language it could appear problematic without knowing.  An unforgiving world and comedy doesn’t always make things easier.  

Yet laughing can make a lot of people feel better about some inconvenient truths.  Better though if you or others are not the butt of people’s jokes.  Can be hurtful to be misrepresented when you are trying to help.  Can make some people stop wanting to help.  Sometimes it is easier to be viewed as the tyrant than someone to be pitied.  Might be more obvious to some people on the sidelines who have children what is going on with those that are leftover.  They are acting like children, why can’t they just talk to each other.  Some wise kids probably think the same about seeing their parents split up.  Using the same word over and over gets a bit ridiculous and annoying.  I want my prayers answered, why can’t things just getter better right now.  Unanswered prayers long enough starts making faith feel like a string and a carrot, rather than something to trust.  Is God more powerful than the group blocking? Yes

If faith was more forgiving, loving, and merciful I would feel better about it playing more of a role in government.  People are imperfect and sadly good times and lack of persecution don’t always make people more merciful to each other.  A positive one day could be a problem the next.  God in charge and God’s people in charge are two completely different things.  True righteousness and humility must be a sight to see.

To have merciful cops we need a merciful community.  Good jobs and people protecting all people in the community goes a long way to help make officers jobs easier to do effectively.  When people hear mercy they might think the wrong thing, I mean life.  More people stable not less helps a ton.  Police and the citizens of the community are a blessing to this world.  

People that feel appreciated want to go to work each day. The people protecting our streets deserve better than this. A bunch of underpaid overworked tyrants or people there to protect us.  Both political parties have value to add and both need to learn to be more forgiving.  If Congress can’t work together, how can we respect authority properly?  If we are all loaded up with chips and health problems how can we communicate effectively?  Most officers don’t have time for that.  Pretty heartbreaking to see.  

When you’ve been on the street, the cops you meet after the many things that got you there aren’t to blame.  It is easy to see how people don’t want to deal with one more part of a system that has let them down.  We all need to reflect on how we can approach our interactions and interests with love and kindness.  In a storm we can both shake our hands at the sky or we can work together.  I care about our cops and we have some serious oppression in the system which shuts down communication.  Who wants to get routed into that.  I have been protected by people of all types.  Why not find a way to have more mercy for us all.
