An Addendum To "Why People Do Bad Things"

An Addendum To "Why Do People Do Bad Things"

When I thought about using Hatred as to "Why People Do Bad Things." Haters get very angry. I decided to use anger because the minority of people Hate and the majority of people have anger in their lives. Animals don't hate, but many get angry. Prehuman's rarely hate, but o-boy do they get angry and get revenge. 

Sooo, people today didn't get the hate DNA jean from Animals or prehuman's. However, we all know there is hate in this world. It comes from a hater passing it down to family and friends. A CLU Klux clan leader passes hate of blacks down to his followers. Hitler wasn't angry at Jews, he hated them. He then passed that hate down to the SS who passed it down to the troops. Any troop who didn't go along with the hate was shot.

This situation wasn't just happening in Germany, many other countries hated the Jews. The net result was 6 million Jews were killed, thousands of gypsies were killed and many, many homosexuals were killed. They believed the Arian rase was the supreme rase and the blood of other rases had to be extinguished. 

To day there are many hate groups and individuals who hate. Hate begets anger. Hate is a learned trait not a DNA trait. Fortunately these hateful people are in the minority. So, I chose angry as my reason for "Why People Do Bad Things." 

It's as easy as getting angry at your kid for not doing his homework which leads to you punishing him instead of helping him. It's as easy as you hating the driver who hit your car and wanting to punch him in the face when you know the insurance companies will fix the car.

If we could evolve as a race that does not get angry, life would be happier and the world would be a better place.

Why Do People Do Bad Things

 Why Do People Do Bad Things

Some people kill other people. Some countries go to war at the acceptance of the majority of their people. Some people except violence for certain reasons. Some people cheat and steal. Some people take advantage of others. Some people lie to your face. 

There are a few people who don't do any of those things, but they are not the majority. 

Why do people do these bad things? Well, let's start with where we come from. Animals have to be paranoid or they won't be able to protect themself. Animals have to be aggressive or they won't eat. Animals get violent to control other animals. Animals get angry when other animals take their stuff or threaten them.

After animals we have pre-humans. They do everything animals do plus convincing their flock to go to war. Not to just provide food and shelter, they just want to conquer other pre-humans and steal their land and stuff. Pre-humans are an angry and aggressive bunch

It's no wonder why human people do bad things. Well, you say most people are good. Well, I say, who of us don't get angry? Who of us has never cheated? Who of us has accepted war because we are paranoid that others want to take-over or kill us? Who of us has never lied (I'm one of the few)? Who of us think it's ok to beat-up and/or kill someone who has raped a child or adult?

I hate to say it, but I am one of the many who has done a few of those things. Am I considered a bad person? Today's society believes I am a good person.

How can we change our pre-human DNA traits? To me it starts with anger. We are an angry people. We get angry at too many things. Anger makes us aggressive to others. Anger makes some of us paranoid. When you're paranoid you believe everyone is out to get you, so we go to war. Anger makes you defensive. Defensive makes you offensive. Offensive get's you to do bad things.

I have worked hard to control my anger. I'm no longer angry with the two women that took everything from me. I no longer get angry if someone does bad things to me. I don't get angry if someone hits my car. I believe anger is negative energy.

I would love to live in a world where people never get angry. Maybe there will be a pill for that, however will anyone take that pill? Probably not because current humans love to get angry.

Quotes What Do They Mean

Quotes, What Do They Mean

I love quotes that have a deep meaning to me. I get them from various media I read and watch. Some are my quotes. Some of the meanings are clear others are not. Here are just a few:

"stupid is stupid - you can't fix stupid." Many have tried, but stupid people who do stupid things will continue to do stupid things because they don't know better. They're not bad people, they're just stupid. Don't try to fix them. 

"positive energy begets positive energy - negative energy begets negative energy." If you're reading my blogs, you know I say that many times. I live by that quote. I encourage people to be the source of positive energy or at least hang out with positive energy people.

"Life without taking a risk is half a life." You'll never get all that you deserve without taking some risks. Playing it safe your entire life is half a life. You have to believe in yourself. You have to love yourself. If you do so, you will recover if the risk you take doesn't work out.

"the optimist believes she is living in the best possible life. The pessimist believes that statement is true." Once you believe your life is the best it can be, you'll never try to make it better. 

"life without regret is no life at all." Regret, I've had a few, "Frank Sinatra." Shuddas or couldas are part of life. Yes, it's important to try to minimize the shuddas and couldas, but it's more important to not let your life be defined by them. "I shuddas done that - I coulda done that" is no way to live your life. Regret is part of life. Get rid of your regret, shuddas and couldas in your mind and memory. That's the past and you are the future.

Mid-Terms

Mid-Terms

Mid-Terms are being voted on in November. I know it's early to be talking about Mid-Terms, However, I believe this year's Mid-Terms are different and more important than any year I've voted for in the past. My reason is that the balance of power in Congress is at stake.

I hope the power's to be in Congress will make sure everyone will get a chance to vote. We need everyone to vote because the direction of this country is also at stake. I have my point of view and you have your point of view. The will of the people, who vote, will decide what they want America to look like over the next two years.

If it doesn't go my way, I'll still love America. If it doesn't go my way, I'll get another shot in two years. I hope you will feel the same. In the next two years I will still be Kenny. In the next two years I'll still love my life. In the next two years I'll still have as much fun as possible. In the next two years I'll still have my loving wife Joyce, wonderful friends, and fantastic family.

I really want the Mid-Terms to go my way because I believe it will make for a better America. If you feel the same, do something. Do anything and everything you can to influence your friends and family to vote your way. If you're have trouble doing anything, at the very least, VOTE.

The reason I'm writing this blog now instead of October/November, is because now is the time to solidify the ones who think like you and try to change the minds of the ones who don't.

This is a very important election. The balance of power is at stake. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!

Laughter

Laughter

A good laugh has great short-term effects. When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally. It actually causes physical changes in your body. Laughter can:

• Stimulate many organs. Laughter helps you take in oxygen-rich air, which stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles. Laughter also increases feel-good chemicals called endorphins that your brain releases.
• Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response. It also can raise and then lower your heart rate and blood pressure. As a result, you feel good and more relaxed.
• Soothe tension. Laughter also can stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation. Both can help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.

Long-term effects

Laughter isn't just a quick pick-me-up, though. Laughter also may:

• Help your immune system work better. Laughter can lower stress hormones that can weaken the immune system, such as cortisol. Laughter also boosts certain immune cells that fight illness.
• Relieve pain. Laughter may ease pain by causing the body to produce its own natural painkillers. It also shifts your focus away from feeling uncomfortable.
• Increase personal satisfaction. Laughter can make it easier to cope with tough situations. It also helps you connect with other people.
• Boost your mood. Many people have depression, sometimes due to chronic illnesses. Laughter can help lessen your stress, depression and anxiety. It also may make you feel happier. And it also can improve your self-esteem.

We all know that a good laugh makes you feel better. As you can see from the information above, it has major physical and mental benefits. So, why don't we laugh more often? It depends on our personality and what's going on in our life.

Our personality is formed from our DNA and our upbringing. It's the old joke, " Jonny and Sally come home from the movies. They go into the living room and see a pile of shit on the floor. Jonny says, "mom and dad are going to blame me and punish me." Sally says, "this is great. Mom and dad bought us a pony." 

I have friends that love to laugh and I have friends that don't see anything funny in their life. I love to laugh. I grew up with a mother that loved to laugh. Even though my father had a serious side, he told jokes all the time. They were bad jokes, but I laughed because he was laughing.

Sooo, DNA and upbringing have an effect on who sees laughter in life and who doesn't. What's going on in our life also has an effect on our laughter. Physical and mental problems have a major impact. It's hard to laugh if you are in physical pain. It's hard to laugh if you are depressed. It's hard to laugh if you are extremely stressed.

You know that I preach happiness is the forgotten ingredient in life. Doing what it takes to find happiness should be everyone's goal. Positive energy begets positive energy and negative energy begets negative energy so be the source of positive energy and/or hang out with positive people.

It's a lot easier to laugh if you are happy. It's a lot easier to laugh if you are a positive person or hang out with positive people who laugh a lot. Sooo, seek those laughing positive people. Watch shows and read books that make you laugh. 

Everyone sees laughter in different things. Everyone has a different sense of humor. Find your laughter because it's really good for you.

Humans Best Attribute Is Feeling

 Human's Best Attribute Is Feeling

I got a text today from my friend that said he was dizzy. My first reaction was that he should get checked out. My second reaction was that I was feeling concerned he may be really ill. That feeling reminded me that is what makes me human.

There is a lot of talk about AI and Robots. I believe the future of AI and Robotics will make mankind's life better. However, what we won't get from that technology is feeling sad, angry, happy, etc. I can hug my friend and get hugged back because we care about each other. I can hug my robot, but don't expect to get hugged back.

There are some people that don't have feelings. The majority of those people have a mental disorder. There are many people that have suppressed their feelings. My dad suppressed his feelings because he grew up in the Great Depression, with a dead father and a sickly mother. That fear of life got him to suppress his feelings. I believe he didn't get the most out of life.

On the other hand, my mother, who grew up very poor, was a feeling machine. My sister got my father's lack of feeling and thankfully, I got my mother's feeling machine. I believe the people who really know me, can sense when I'm happy, sad or angry. I don't have to say anything, they just can sense it because they have feelings.

Having feelings can be scary. Having feelings can make you venerable. Showing your feelings can make you seem weak to those who want to take advantage. However, having feelings is what makes you a great human being. Having feelings is what enables you to have wonderful friends and family who also have feelings. Having feelings enables you to get the most out of this wonderful life.  

What about you? Have you suppressed your feelings or are you a feeling machine? Remember;

Conscious

 Conscious

Conscious is critical to being human. A Sociopath doesn't have conscious. A Psychopath  doesn't have a conscious. Those kind of people (notice I didn't call them humans), don't care about the human race. Doing something bad to anything including humans, is justified in their minds.

For humans like us, having a conscious will get us to the right thing. On the other hand, having a conscious will give us grief if we do the wrong thing. Doing the right thing all of the time will lead to happiness. Doing bad things most of the times will make us unhappy, assuming we have a conscious.

Lying will create a negative conscious. The more you lie the worse you feel about yourself, assuming you have a conscious. Using the excuse "I lied for their own good," "I lied because I didn't want to hurt their feelings," " I lied because I wanted them to like me," "I lied so I can get what I want," will eventually bring you down, assuming you have a conscious.

How many of you believe you can go to your grave with a clear conscious? I know I will. Doing the right thing is a choice. Avoiding taking advantage of situations and people, will give you that clear conscious. Not doing the wrong thing and/or never lying takes guts. It can get you to either love yourself or not liking yourself.

Sooo, remember every action you take will affect your conscious, assuming you have a conscious in the first place. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, keep a clear conscious.
