There are only Three Classes of People

In this nation of haves, the want to have and have nots, those in the class of the haves define themselves with having the best that life has to offer but what they don’t realize is the best life has to offer does not come in the form of money or power.  It comes in the form of feeling good about yourself and knowing that you were able to help another person without sacrificing all that you worked so hard to obtain.

Your fellow military member jumps on a protect you from a blast of a grenade by shielding you with his/her body and everyone calls him or her a hero.  At the time the choice was made to do that, they were not thinking about being labeled at all.  They were thinking about helping someone that they perceived unable to help themselves and that is the best that life has to offer.  Of course later on the fame and possible fortune will not be turned down but realize that was not the reason it was done.  A firefighter rushes into a collapsing building because he/she thought they heard someone crying for help.  They did not enter that building because they were in search of a title or, contrary to popular belief, it was their job.  Their job is to extinguish fires hence the name firefighter not lifesaver.  They do it because there is a mechanism deep inside all of us that compels us to do these things and while many of us can control that urge to help, some of us can’t.  This is the best life has to offer.

The only place this seems to be some times missing is in business.  Business is more about turning a profit instead of changing a life.  Talk to anyone in business at the top and the conversation will be more about how they can make extra money than it is about how many extra people they could help.   Talk to anyone in business from the want to have class and the conversation will be more about the steps that they are taking to get to the have class than who they are bringing with them and then talk to anyone in business who remains in the have not class and the conversation will be all about the treatment of the customers or clients that they have.  Making them smile and feel good about themselves is what gets these owners up in the morning.  Now ask yourself which one of these classes are getting the best that life has to offer.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
