Jesus wept. Angels weep. Animals weep. Tears are not just a human emotion. I think tears are more for the soul than the physical human form. It is an unspoken communication of the soul. Bible says God knows the very number of tears we shed. HE counts them. There is a deeper meaning we will only understand when we stand before him, face to face.

I have an old TV monitor with VHS built in. I don't have TV; don't have cable. Movie's all I use it for. However, my computer has dual cameras... hmm.

Passwords: I need to write them down in one place because I have forgotten some and it's so easy to get locked out of accounts.

bobturn My blankie was a pale blue-green.

"Conspiracies" more than annoy me. Yes, there may be some truth in some of them but the hysteria surrounding most of them blots that out. And I don't approve of their entertainment/horror value.

Great blog post. One thing people forget or don't know is that the government has tech fifty years ahead of what we have, and thank is maybe an understatement, so what would take us a century to break, they can do in a blink of an eye.

Crying is the body's way to get something alien out of our eyes. Or maybe, in this case, release the body from some intense emotion.

I think the answer is simpler. We do what we are used to doing. Traditional societies use manners of living that have survived for centuries. some are more suited to their society and climate than so-called modern ways.

Why don't we build hurricane proof buildings in areas prone to high winds? Because we don't.

We have made progress in some ways though. I travel and mobility and international connections are affecting how people think of the "other". Small progress but progress none-the-less.

I would have to say that the biggest reason why we haven't changed to much more efficient ways of transportation, housing, energy use, etc. is because the leading corporations of almost EVERY branch of the economy (excluding the *few* environmentalist charities/corporations) couldn't give a rat's ass (pardon my language) about the negative effects or the lacking effects of their products are. They're still making money and they're still at the top of the markets. It's just my opinion, though.

Don't You Cry

What is it that makes us cry? Happiness makes us cry.
Sorrow certainly makes us shed tears....I know that one for sure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc

I provided this video....cause there is a major move coming up VERY SOON in my life....more on that ANOTHER time....NOT this entry

This is how I am feeling right now. And I just got finished telling a VERY CLOSE friend of mine....(whether on here or not, I shall NOT disclose)….that although I am a man in my 50s....Im crying like a little girl watching this video....LMAO...not anymore obviously, otherwise I couldn't even do this blog right now.
But change is hard, especially for me, a Taurus. We Taureans love NONchange….& we fight change tooth & hoof...Yes, I so DID just go there...to the bitter end. Oh, & BTW...yes... try to make ME change...& I really will fight you to the bitter end, yours or mine, your call...or at least until we see that the change is not going to hurt us or matter in the long run. The change I am talking about....or having to talk about, to settle my fears.... is a GOOD change, but still...over 2 decades of stability...AND NOW THIS!!!!!????

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmAY059TTY

So....what is the purpose of crying?....I really don't think even the BEST psychologists can answer that one...much less anyone on here.....
Is crying for the loss of what we had?
Or is it the fear of the unknown? Fear of the future?
