"I loving memory" I had an old friend "Euwel" who was the director of a non profit organization which help people with addictions etc. He expressed his "forgetfulness" to me one day and "worried" that he was loosing his mental capacity to Alzheimer’s. He knew I had experienced issues with memory lapse. I told him that when I worried about my memory it only got worse and that if I spent my time worrying about it that I was not getting the full "experience" of what was being offered to me right now. If there is a god he put me here to "experience" this wonderful place and if there isn't one then I'm going to experience this wonderful place which evolved. "To tine one self be true" is the key and if there be a god then I think he might smile upon my works of "humility" and peace know ing that my enemies have as much right to be misguided by whatever element that of which I was once of the same mind. "Humility has no Bullhorn" a phrase I coined not so long ago; the humble, they are everywhere and are doing wonderful things for other people and mother earth who do no demand the "Bullhorn" to announce their deeds. Somewhere inside of them there is this altruistic knowledge that places their deeds above expression and does not cave in to some ego that of which is that of an insecure child crying for attention. So how do "we" or "those" people send the message of heroic "humility"? These unheard and or unsung "heroes" are the real heroes. I pass them every day on the streets; I remain vigilant that there is humility in humanity, those of us who perpetuates the symbol of a true altruistic outlook of man; they are the silent example of heroic deeds! Because "WE" (the ones who are the "AMERICAN IDOLE” and to the ones who "IDOLIZE" them who scream "look at me" and have a twisted insecure desire for love and attention and materialism(s) use the term civil" to excess and in vain! Have not “the powers that be” eg Edward Beneys ( http://www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/2006/09sep/ebernays.html )indoctrinated “U.S.” to been to be such an insecure/ uncivilized / self serrving nation / “CULTURE”
