A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

In response to "Stay on Track."

I think I need to do a survey on sexuality and gender. So many people have not had interactions with the LGBTQ community. I had a friend who was an "I for intersex" and know an "A for asexual" ... Historically there was an "E for eunuch" (and I suspect that category still exists).

So much easier to just suspend the labels and call people by their name/nickname or title: Vaughn, Officer Paula, Miss Jessica, Duck, Teacher Nessy... No one needs to inspect another person's underwear.

As for 'snowed under' ... well it's spring ... this too shall melt.

Do no harm is the best way to live.

Thanks for checking in, hope things settle down soon.

I agree with you. I think it takes a lot of faith to jump horses too! It was always something that amazed me to watch.

Snickerdoodle muffins? Send one here!

Do you serve coffee? I've only had 4 cups today. I'd be grateful for another.

I think it is more than just short supply of a virtue. I think evil is a real thing and occasionally presents its own ideas of reality. Since humans live in organic forms and have been given the ability to make choices often, we get wrapped up in our little personal worlds and don't notice evil trying to take bake what is already won. So, the battle commences again.

House Florent plays to win. As I age, I read a lot of history I proceed to think every age has seen its own share of violence. There are times when peace prevails. I hope a time like that is coming toward us.

Patience is a virtue that seems to be in short supply.

You're so right about evil raising it's head. If only saying calm down was enough.

I think we're in a similar age bracket and we have seen too much violence in our lifetime.

We do need patience and doesn't it see like we never have enough time? It does for me. We do need more patience. Good entry.

Tell the truth, Don't be dull

In what circumstances do you believe it is okay to fib or tell a white lie?

Quote from Goodreads.com:“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” ― Mark Twain

My second son wanted to know about fibs and white lies? We were preparing for the holiday season. If you are in a gift giving scene, sometimes you tell people a white lie. Hiding the gifts and trying to keep the kids from searching for them? A white lie can be told to avoid hurting someones feelings but, in the end, whatever you avoid telling may hurt them over time. I just said, "Stay out of my room if you want any surprises at Christmas." When it comes to children I've met lots of them that don't care about the surprise just want to know what is going to be under that tree.

Sometimes truth is from experience and your own knowledge; so if someone is trying to catch you in a lie they will look for something to be wrong with something you said. Or, new facts may surface that will cause you to change or review what you know.

Or, if someone is lying to themselves they will be angry with the facts of a statement. They may look for a way to turn your facts against you?

A fib is a lie. You think it is unimportant, but again, sometimes small untruths take away from the way you are perceived as a person.

Personally, I think lies are more important than people realize. I've told the truth sometimes when I did not want to tell the truth. My experience is truth is like a living thing. Truth is a sound wave spreading like the fluctuation waves, in a pond. When you throw a pebble into the water. The center wave ring is the largest and makes the biggest movement. As the waves move out they get smaller but, can still rock a swimming duck or water lily floating in the pond.

Truth is a necessary part of life. Without truth you don't know who or what to believe unless you see it or experience it with your own eyes. It's why the journalist mantra is "Tell the truth, don't write dull material."

The words of truth or lies drives the way societies see the world. Telling lies destroys trust. Destroy trust and you destroy relationships between people.

The cover a Lie gives will disintegrate like sugar in water. Truth can clear the air, take away confusion, make things right, solidify trust.
