~My Favorite Poem/Sayings~

Desiderata GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. By Max Ehrmann © 1927 Original text

MENTAL-LOCITY

This I know for SURE~ America is in a ~ State of LOST MENTAL-LOCITY~ Suffering from the After-Effects of the past 4 years and the ever present Pandemic. It has becomes evident that these LOST characteristic of a solid Mental State no longer exist as ~WE THE PEOPLE~ once knew in our Daily Lives! The habitual or characteristic mental attitude that ONCE determined how you'd interpret and respond to situations is LOST! ~Mental Health ~classified as cognitive processes and contents aka mentality; mind-set; mindset; outlook....LOST! The Hypernyms of which means "mentality" is a kind of...attitude; mental attitude _a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways (1-6-2021).. LOST! It has all become a Big Lie. ~PARADISE IS LOST~ by English poet John Milton (1608–1674) explains it well...."in the capital city of Hell, "Satan" employs his rhetorical skill to organize his followers"...when Satan returns triumphantly to Hell, amid the Praise of his fellow fallen angels. He tells them about how their scheme worked and Mankind has fallen, giving them complete dominion over Paradise. As he finishes his speech, however, the fallen angels around him become hideous Snakes, and soon enough, Satan himself turns into a Snake, deprived of limbs and Unable to TALK (YES). Thus, they share the same punishment, as they shared the same guilt." WHEN WILL PARADISE be REGAINED????
