Why Does Hate Continue?

Submitted by ub on

Tolerance, respect, and understanding should be the norm, but acts of hate are reportedly being ignored.

Haters Gonna Hate is a sad and unfortunate catch-phrase which represents another's negative comment. Whatever happened to love thy neighbor as thyself? Do to others as you would have them do to you.

This saying contains great wisdom. It opens our eyes to what life should be about. If we loved, or the very least respected our neighbor as ourselves, there would be peace and prosperity in the world, as opposed to strife and poverty.

The National Hockey League Stanley Cup Final, as well as National Basketball Association Finals, will both be played in the same region of California, The Golden State.

Each major athletic event will consume professional sports fans this entire weekend, and they are only several miles apart in the state where everyone gives driving directions as only a few minutes away.

Down 2-0, the San Jose Sharks hope a trip back home Saturday @8P ET will cure their woes against the unflappable Pittsburgh Penguins.

He was born Cassius Clay but died Muhammad Ali. He was an American professional boxer, generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport.

I met his as Clay at the 5th street gym in Miami Beach. Clay was the most colorful athlete I have ever spoken with in my lifetime.

The Real Deal

Submitted by ub on

This is not reality TV, nor the art of any money making deal. It's real serious and our nation depends on it.

How can we the people of The United States of America allow members from the lunatic fringe to ruin our future?

Is anyone good?

What is going on? It is like you look down for a few months and you look up, and all of a sudden you have two very corrupt people running for president. One's corrupt in politics, one's corrupt in life.

ACCUSE AND LIE

Submitted by ub on

Why are our supposed leaders not speaking about their plans for America's future in terms of domestic and foreign policy?

When will they stop making accusations, telling lies and begin to outline their individual platforms?

They spin lies into fear while the silent majority does nothing. Americans can't allow this to continue.

TAO

Submitted by ub on

A spiritual, philosophical and religious tradition of Chinese origin that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao.

We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.
