Words: Left Behind
By Ringer in Knowledge is power- if you use it- keep it to yourself and it's worthless.
August 23, 2009 |
It seems so little time has pasted since legal pads, typewriters, periodical guides, and card catalogs became the tools for research writers. Now we live in a accelerated age of Google, lap-tops, and Wikipedia which places a world of information at our fingertips. Even for the most leisurely writer, like myself, the works we prize the most will be left behind for the world to read hundreds of years from now. The source of information cited below will reside upon a microchip forever.
{You should never trouble anyone about their religion; respect others and their point-of-view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and work to beautify all things in your life. Try to make your life long and make it's purpose serve others. Always give a greeting when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, in a lonely-dark place. Show respect to all people no matter the color of their skin, the amount of money in their bank account, or the clothes upon their back; love them all. When you get out of bed in the morning give thanks for the day and the joy of living. If you see no reason to be grateful, the fault lies in you, and only you can change this. And, always live your life so that the fear of death never enters your mind.}
A wise person once said, "To live a good life all you have to do is become less selfish on the way out than you were coming in." It's probably the hardest work of anyone's life. But it is the work that will make you the happiest.
Write from your heart, leave words of encouragement that have the power to heal others, and those works will change the world years from now.

Isn't funny how ringer has all comments deleted that disagree with her?
August 28, 2009 at 11:32 p.m.A self-defense instructor once told me to do the same thing. It lets the other person know that you know they're there and you probably got a good look at their face, so they're much less likely to try anything than if you just pretend they don't exist.

August 24, 2009 at 7:39 a.m.Today is the first day of school and our Daisy got up at 5:00 and got ready. The positivity was uplifting. Your blog confirmed to me that feeling positve is always the best route to take in any situation.
The longevity of what we do on the web is the mortar for the worlds we can build! The more good we can do the better those worlds will be, and the better our reality will become.
Keep up the good writing!
t3hMalk- thank you for taking the time to write what you said. On my way to bed last night, I logged back in to check this post before calling it a night, and read gyroscopes comment. It led my mind to wonder and for a brief minute- I questioned the "choice" of words I had wrote. However, this morning, I woke up and found your comment. Thank you for taking the time to share it. You have touched my life.
August 24, 2009 at 7:03 a.m.Good post, Ringer. I may not always comment on your posts, but I do enjoy them.
I am, however, debating on somehow blocking the Advocate from myself for a (hopefully) temporary amount of time, due to the vast amounts of negativity in blog and comment posts. I am injured from a recent car accident, and am starting to feel that the negativity that I see here could be hindering the much-needed positive outlook on life I need in order for me to heal and get back to my life as quickly and efficiently as possible. The big pickle is to find other sources for local news minus the people that support John Gabriel's theory.
I just wanted to tell you that should I decide to do this, I will miss your posts. They are one of the things that keep me coming back to this site.
