Pay Attention To What They Do Not What They Say

 Pay Attention To What They Do Not What They Say

Some say talk is cheap. Some say words can hurt. Some say words matter. All of that is true. However, it's more important to "Pay Attention To What They Do Not What They Say." 

Some people are talkers with stuff coming out of their mouths without them giving much thought. Some people are introverted and don't say much if anything. Sometimes people say something they wish they could have back. Some people say things that make them seem tough. 

Some people use words to manipulate. Some people say things to control others. Some people say things to hurt others. That's why it's so important to "Pay Attention To What They Do Not What They Say."

An immature person will not think through what they say. An insecure person will us words to hurt, manipulate, control or try to convince you they are wonderful people. Some people will use lies to get what they want (can you spell TRUMP). 

That is why I say: 

"Pay Attention To What They Do Not What They Say." 

Doom And Gloom By The Rolling Stones

 Doom And Gloom 

By The Rolling Stones

I had a dream last night I was piloting a plane
And all the passengers were drunk and insane
I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp
Shot up a horde of zombies
But I come out on top

What's it all about?
Guess it just reflects my mood
Sitting in the dirt
Feeling kind of hurt

When all I hear is doom and gloom
With all this darkness in my room
Through the light, your face I see
Baby take a chance
Baby won't you dance with me

We lost all that treasure in an overseas war
Just goes to show you don't get what you paid for
Bowing to the rich and you worry 'bout the poor
Put my feet up on the couch and lock all the doors

What's that funky noise
It's the tightening of their screws
Sitting in the dirt
Feeling kind of hurt

All I hear is doom and gloom
But when those drums go boom boom boom
Through the night, your face I see
Baby take a chance
Baby won't you dance with me


Fracking deep for oil but there's nothing in the sump
There's kids all picking at the garbage dump
I'm running out of water so I better prime the pump
I'm trying to stay sober but I end up drunk

We'll be eating dirt
Living on the side of the road
There's some food for thought
Gonna make your head explode
Feeling kind of hurt yeah

But all I hear is doom and gloom
With all this darkness in my room
Through the night, your face I see
Baby, take a chance
Won't you dance with me

Trying to be positive in this world today takes a great deal of mental fortitude. However, what are our choices. We can capitulate and take medication for depression. We can stop reading anything that's negative (lots of luck with that). We can get rid of anyone that lives in the doom and gloom world (that's a good start). We could just drop-out and live off the earth. 

OR;

We can focus on the beauty of life. Taking time to look at a sunset, smell the flowers, appreciate our love ones and the ones that love us. I could go on and on, but if you really want to live through this doom and gloom, focus on yourself.

You are the master of the world around YOU. You can be happy even if the world is going to shit. You can love yourself even if the outside world tells you you're not good enough. You can love yourself just a little bit more than anybody or anything else. 

As I have always been telling you, you are in control of your happiness. Don't let this fucked up world take that from you.
