Happy New Year!
Hey, there. I rarely post...why? because noone reads it! Haha. Sigh.
Intellectually I am so frustrated. I realize what a clownish world this is, but in the middle of it I have my beloved husband and 8 children to care for. It gets busy. My reality is good. I'm just so tired and weary of Christian socialism.
My dh has been busting his behind to custom make 6 cased tanned beaver hides for a man in Wisconsin. He will earn around $800 for his efforts. We'll use it to buy gold. We will pay taxes on it. In the meantime, a dear Christian woman on my message board, who is a very long-suffering woman, just got $550 worth of propane delivered courtesy of the taxpayers and all the ladies on my message board are rejoicing with her over this wealth transfer program. In the meantime her dead-beat low-life husband is living there and helping to bleed the taxpayers. Sad.
Christian socialism seeks to prevent people from enduring the consequences of their bad actions. Here's the sad truth. Innocent people suffer. Children suffer due to the sins of others. However, when we seek to prevent the suffering it only prolongs it for those because, guess what.......the sinners have no incentive to change. Sigh.....
So......if on this message board I would say the above paragraphs, I would get kicked off. Sad. Sigh....I was so touched, though....they had a recent love fest on there and many ladies said how I have inspired them with their finances. It blessed my heart. I'm glad to have a positive effect on people. A rising tide raises all ships. Ultimately, I want the best for people (really????? I can hear you whispering that now...LOL)......it's just that, guess what...........there's no easy short cuts for success. I also realized something. I am respected more than I am liked. And that, my friends, is the way it should be.
I am currently 30-50 pounds overweight (depending on what I want my ultimate weight to be). Why? Because my life is NOT negatively impacted enough by my extra weight. I enjoy good food. I am not diabetic. I am able to walk up to 3 miles with no difficulty. I am NOT motivated because my life is too good. The thought of getting pregnant at this age is not a happy one, but I figure......I'll just deal with it then. Lovely atitude. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic). As a human (and not a superhuman at that), I share in the human experience that we don't change our negative behaviors unless it behooves us to (and by that I mean we are so miserable that it (the negative behavior) is no longer working for us)). So.........tell me why every stupid recipient of wealth transfer should change their behavior and work hard (so that they then can be taxed at outrageous rates) unless it's for love of freedom and self-respect. Ugh. That's the other reason I don't lose weight. It's a lousy excuse, but I've been pregnant and given birth to 8 full term babies (including 2 11 pounds and over). I don't have any self-esteem issues. I watched The Biggest Loser which was REALLY a great show (believe it or not, a show with which I have no complaint, except some of the editing was not the greatest), but as far as the content goes I LOVED it and I think it revolutionized life for our children. But, anyway....I'm happily married and I've got 8 great children. Apparently, I'm not miserable enough to lose the weight that would then make people ooh and aahh........maybe I should crave that and then I'd lose it....Sigh.........
Anyway.............more later.
