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.

  • 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.

  • U know I love ya RUKIDDING... We just see things differently and how you came up with me teaching children to except "vile" behavior, I do not know! I do believe in what's been written but never did I write anything in referance to ANYONE getting hurt!
    Surly, you know by now, I'd never insinuate or write ANYTHING to hurt children or you for that matter.
    I hope you'll stick around. We do often disagree but I don't hate you for it and I don't want you to think I do.

  • I'd appreciate it if you'd STOP putting words in my mouth. NEVER- did I say ANYTHING in reference to children or eveil predators- GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!
    I accept and tolerate YOU---ONLY because of your ignorance, RUKIDDINGME...

  • RUKIDDING ME!!! Seriously, you should love all people. Love doesn't mean you have to respect them or approve of their behavior. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to like their ways or associate yourself to them, but you should love them. Rose colored glasses is ignorant. Love is tolerant.

  • Great post Ringer!
    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.

  • 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.

  • When a commericial is left on the bottom of a posting my heart and nose detects an ulterior motive to the poster intent. IE to try to sell headbands

    "Always give a greeting when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, in a lonely-dark place"

    The police who find many bodies especially female in these lonely-dark places do not advise this.In fact they advise against even be in "lonely-dark places". I know you have a right to be there. Ithink somewhere in the Constitution is a right to do stupid things, but some people abuse this privledge
