People of the world need to understand that the majority of us are against everything Trump is doing. He is not a representative of the people. I am sorry to say that the people here have been duped through the power of media. The right wing has turned extreme and are involving religion in governmental activities. As you all know, we are supposed to have a separation of church and state here. But little by little Christianity, false Christianity is taking over this country. They are cut throat, greedy, selfish people with no other care in the world but themselves and they will sell their souls for money. So, if anything happens, just know that it is NOT the will of the people to meddle in other countries business other than the standard trade deals and so forth. For example, I have nothing against Russia or China or Syria or Iran or anybody else. I do think Sharia Law is just inhuman. That said, I only wish the world and everybody on it a long and prosperous life filled with fantastic memories and wonderful friends and even strangers. We are all in this together. Be safe and hurt nobody.

Today, in response to the chemical attacks in Syria, The United States fired off over 50 tomahawk missiles at the regime. This will no doubt get a response of some kind. Let us all hope that cooler heads prevail and things do not get out of control. If things do get out of control, then we will all have our lives altered forever.

We are all the way we are because of our experience and the ways in which we were brought up or taught to believe. As we progress in our thinking and learning, we can take our experiences and use them constructively. For example, I suffer from manic depression, as they call it. As a result of having this affliction, I suffer in illogical ways. This is beyond my understanding and it is beyond the understanding of doctors. The only thing they can do is prescribe pills. But I can take my experience and apply that in real life by becoming a mentor to someone who also suffers. I can become a counselor, a writer, a musician, a brick layer... it does not matter. If I can be a good influence on one person a week or even a day, then I have found a valuable form of success. I think it works like that for all of us.

At some point in all our lives we all look for guidance of some kind coming from some source. This source could be God, it could be a family member, it could be a good friend, it could even be a stranger who tells us what we really needed to hear at that time. Sometimes, people get caught up in their particular type of guidance "figure." It could be a guru of some sort. It could be someone from their church like a pastor, it could be a motivational figure. It could be a variety of different actors in our society. When this happens, people change and sometimes this change can be harmful to both themselves and other people. They can close doors on people that were once good friends. They can shut out family members. They can quit even talking to those they don't really know; but does anyone really know anybody... truly?

There is a trend in The United States right now that can be viewed as frightening. It seems those who have an education don't seem to know as much about what they have studied as those who have never went to college. I suppose, in some cases, education comes with experience. Needless to say, opinions are and will remain that, opinions. In our society today, there is too much information from which to choose. This results in locking on to that which is familiar to you; such as a political or religious stance or television program and it means that you are probably getting your information from one source. This is one value of getting an education: always use as many sources as necessary to get the paper done right. Well, the same holds true with society. Now more than ever we need to read news from multiple sources and listen to those who have studied subjects that are pertinent to any given situation..
