Want? Bad! Well, sorta...yeah. Could be!

First, if anyone still checks this blog from the questions/statements posed to me regarding the Obama thing, I WILL respond. I'm just getting my ducks in a row and time is my foe in that process. I admit that there was a LOT of opinion in my post but there are facts to back many other statements I made. The problem with facts is that there is rarely real factual information. In other words, facts are two-sided. For example, take global warming. There are facts on both sides of the table of whether global warming is indeed only human-made or whether global is a natural phenomenon. So, I have a feeling that my posting facts will do nothing but throw fuel on the fire in the questions being answered in my last blog. That being said, let me move on. I've digressed from my original intent of this post.

I've recently had a personal epiphany. Wanting is bad in terms of how not getting what one wants is what I'm addressing. I've noticed that, especially in my family, that when one doesn't get what one wants then they get very upset. This goes from adults to children. So, I have three minutes to make my point and I simply can't do it in that short period of time. Think about it, though. When a person doesn't get what they want, how do they respond? How do they react? If we could get that one reaction down to something like, say, a mere disappointment with a focus on trying different ways to get what we want instead of throwing a tantrum or perhaps, instead, to merely realize that we will not get that thing that we desired and to move on without it and without some kind of negative reaction, then we'd be living in a much better world! It comes down to self and dare I say, pride.

Thoughts? Think about it! By the way, pride is literally, evil! But many people won't understand that either. Any time you put yourself before others then you're probably doing something wrong. I say any time. I'm open to believing that's not an absolute but only a tiny margin.
