Positively negativity


This should be my motto EVERY DAY
It's everywhere, everyday, sometimes all day. Some people ooze it, some people just have resting bitch face but we take it personally, and some people live to see it affect others. 


Take for instance- Westboro Baptist Church. A Church. With one hell of a negative message. **Disclaimer, the following quotes do not belong to the writer of this blog and it pains me to even write it out... images would have been worse **
God h8s fags... Thank God for dead soldiers... God hates you... The Jews killed Jesus- God hates Israel
WHAT?!?!
DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN READ THE BIBLE? 
God has no ability to hate. He doesn't hate anyone. He even says that if you repent and are truly sorry, you will be forgiven- he doesn't make any exceptions to this rule. 
To elaborate on these [weird IMO] people- in case you are unfamiliar- this so-called "church" demonstrates hate-filled protests of military  -AND NOW ALSO THE VICTIMS OF THE WORST MASS SHOOTING IN AMERICAN HISTORY- funerals.... they believe any misfortune on Americans is God's punishment for society's tolerance of homosexuality- because they have an utter intolerance for gay people. What's funny is, that I have only heard things like "fire and brimstone" when God was upset with humanity - the ruin of Sodom and Gomorrah is a great example. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah became THE example in the Bible of how God judges sin. “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before Me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen” (Ezekiel 16:49-50). I didn't think that God inflicts punishment on other, uninvolved innocent people when certain/specific people f**k up....

Anyway-- Thank you thank you thank you to Orlando's Shakespeare Theater who acted as counter-demonstrators dressed as angels and using their beautiful white wings to shield mourners from anti-gay protesters near the funeral service. The Theater company surrounded Westboro protestors by dozens of flowing white angel costumes with 10-foot wingspans rising seven feet high. The angels turned their backs on the negativity, smiled and silently blocked them from the views of those attending the funeral. No one should be confronted with negativity while they are mourning the loss of their loved one. I wonder if the (lack of) funeral for Westboro Baptist church's founder Fred Phelps had any demonstrators?     Maybe that's why they didn't have one...

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

The new normal: Fat acceptance

A new study published in the 'International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education' reveals that the average size of an American woman is now between a 16 to 18, which is an increase from 10-year-old data that indicated most women in the U.S. were a size 14. "I am hoping this will help nudge the fashion industry to seriously consider expanding their sizes," said study author Deborah Christel, Ph.D. LOL...  But you don't make the connection between larger sizes of humans overall and obesity? You don't hope that the results of the 'study' you did encourage people to start eating better and exercising more and you know, stop being obese? You just hope the multi billion dollar fashion industry changes its ways... er, um, sizes. Because... feelings? I mean, anyone who says they can't find clothing in their size is forgetting to tell you the whole story, leaving out key factors like: can't find clothing in their price range, can...

Kindness... a big word that takes little effort

Have  compassion  for all living things. What is compassion? By definition: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. Synonyms: pity, sympathy, empathy, fellow feeling, care, concern, solicitude, sensitivity, warmth, love, tenderness, mercy, leniency, tolerance, kindness , humanity, charity. That word- compassion- is so full of meaning.  Empathy, concern, mercy, sensitivity, tolerance, HUMANITY. I would say the #1 way to promote compassion is to say you should have concern for the well-being of others. That's the simplest way to put it. And it's so simple. It's like that saying- don't be quick to judge, you  don't know whats going on in someone else's life. If we were quicker to show concern for others, we'd be not as quick to show hate and judgement. We see people's expressions and without asking, we come to our own conclusion. Resting Bitch Face is a THING. SO instead of saying to someone- why do you always look...
