To understand life, one has to first define his/her definition of what life is to them, then measure their individuals lives by that definition.  The problems occur when your definition of life is not met by others and in many cases then never met by you.  Life is basically fifty (50) percent mental and fifty (50) percent emotional meaning that half the time we may be forced to mentally propel ourselves through a situation or circumstance with the other half spent on dealing with situations or circumstances based on nothing but pure feelings. We know that the true meaning of life is nothing more than perception.  If you believe that a particular group of people are lazy, shiftless, arrogant or privileged then you will more than likely proceed through your life dealing with any situation of circumstance based on that belief.  Those whom you meet will first be required by you to overcome your pre-conceived perception before ever getting an opportunity to prove you...

When someone mentions autism, many of us have to shrug our shoulders as we are really not sure what they are talking about.  Our immediate focus of the definition is someone who displays the symptoms senior surviving mammals would have called “mentally retarded” but what if I told you that autism is nothing more than the daily actions and activities of every single person on this earth and in this universe but more profound. If you pay close attention to any child displaying any activity that society deems as autistic, you will find that it is the very same activity that those not diagnosis with this condition displays.   For my son, he re-focuses but rubbing his fingers together directly in front of his eyes combined with the short run or jog back and forth.  While this may not be the activity displayed by many of us, consider this.  It is well known that in order for some of us to concentrate on the task at hand, we must doddle especially when on the phon...

The most important and largest part of the human body is the mind.  It is quite expansive and can continue to grow and expand beyond belief.  The mind has one and only one job which is to protect the body.  It is only contained and limited by the individual who controls it.  It has been known to overcome and defeat any barriers that man constructs unless the individuals controlling it allow it to be contained.  The mind can contemplate things that are out of this world and can compile, organize and maintain records of so many things that even those who are supposed to be the smartest in the world cannot fathom.  I believe that it is the mind that keeps all our involuntary actions like breathing, blinking, sensing and so many others functioning properly.  The mind has the ability to see danger and often times will send the body a warning.  It also will warn you ahead of time about maintaining your body like itching when it is time for the body to ...

A couple of things here that I would like to discuss.  The first being our fixation with developing a definition and refusing to modify or amend that definition even if presented with a decent reason to do so.  Our love for opposition, controversy and discord instead of our strong desire to solve our problems, compromise on issues and respect the rights of another. The first thing I wish to discuss is my detection of a trend here that when you talk compassion, people automatically assume you are talking leniency or allowing those who offend to get off scot-free. I think it is time that all of us re-define what it means to be compassionate.  Allowance of anyone to remain blameless in any situation where it is clear that they made the choice to be in that situation is not compassion, it's stupid and no lesson can be learned from that.  You can hold anyone and everyone responsible for their actions while realizing what caused them to violate.  Understanding is...
