Parenthood and childhood.

The hardest part for a mother to do is to tell her son who his father is or was, what he wishes or wished for him to have or to be. A lost father is a lost son. No woman can raise a man even if she has to on her own due to circumstances, neither  will her child forgive her if she looses herself as a "mother" in sacrificing herself as a wife for the sake of marriage. Parenthood comes first before anything.

Should you find yourself as a woman raising a son or boys alone, surround yourself with male friends that can at certain times be guardians in different areas and at different times, they could be related uncles or family friends.

Random thoughts!

The inexcusable is what is hard to forgive!

Thoughts are a form of worship, praise is in deeds that produce the right results!

I never saw Jesus as my teacher, I used the written teachings as compared reference to my experiences and reproduced knowledge that may be worth passing on to the present or next generation!

What we think we know about Jesus is through the writings of those who supposedly knew him, if they were asleep when he came out of his prayers how much of him did they think they know?

Each star is a true wish made on  earth!

God is what we call I am that I am; He is Young when I am Young, Old when I am Old, Sick when I am Sick, Happy when I am Happy, Smokes when I Smoke, Drunk when I am Drunk and Says its enough when it's enough, which is why people can't understand Him through our expressions of life. When you don't give a fuck He doesn't give a fuck too! So how did you let Him Live through your life? He rejoices through you and the life you live! Йетти

When He appears!

To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs. Sri Aurobindo

For only those who He knows and those who know Him will his ways be revealed. He sure has a sick sense of humour that makes His children roll on the floor with laughter and cry too in heavy moments.

It sure hurts when He appears and lonely when He leaves after all is sorted. Those who don't know Him either disrespect or fear Him!

The truths of living moments.

I love with all my being,

Left with nothing but all that I am,

No reservation nor words but deeds,

The joys of giving, the joys of living.

In moments to hold oneself,

In steps of faith i walked, 

A gift through pain revealed, 

A being of a soul in passion.

In thoughts of muses,

You hold the songs of times and myths,

Where shadows lurked, the light began,

The truths of living moments.

A.E.O.

Earth song!

There is something I wish to understand "How can a God who created life demand blood back as a sacrifice"? Why would humans who seek to control humans paint HIM so black yet wish to survive? How can Africa that seems to tolerate ritualistic human sacrifice think that they can grow? Civilisations that thrived on the ignorance of people or kept their people ignorant have been extinct, including the blood thirsty Roman Empire! How is it possible that nations who built their monuments on the heads and souls of their or others people wish to survive? I don't think God punishes He remains Omnipotent by staying away from petty things such as killing his own creation! In my opinion justice seems to take so long because He keeps giving another chance for change! Do we today as people not see what we have done to the earth, don't we see what we do to our neighbour in our hearts? 

Epidemics "effects of mismanagement"

When the aim of men towards women has been programmed by the surround sound as a tool for pleasure and women are programmed to see men as a walking wallets then the question stands "why wouldn't we see the effects we see today in the gay, separation or childless choices people are making! We can all shout out on the streets all we like about the epidemic but it will not be heard because majority are deaf and dumb spiritually! Yes we may be living in a material world because it seems that the first thing we experience is the physical world of survival but how about spiritual survival?

When men take out the anger they feel towards their parents on the wife and she latter either brings up her daughter to not want kids or she becomes gay because she had been violated or let down by the right set of morals that she initially had towards family we shouldn't be blaming genetics as a result for now doing the wrong things!

No one is born gay in the physical sense, No one wakes up and says they don't want kids or to marry, we as a society in whole make wicked or push people towards alternative sexual orientations! When we have men who don't want to be fathers and the load is mounted on the woman "general rule" then what effects do we think shouldn't be!? When the social group subjects women to such laws as to be stoned for unveiling her face in public i.e. they assuming that she is in search to covet another's partner or have more joy than others rather than use the help of bridal service groups or persecuted for prostitution forgetting that she was subjected by the facts of lack of options to make a living to feed her kids or in reasons for her separating isn't just because she decided to but for other reasons such as being abused or for worse situations which were created by wars or an accepted norm for allowing men from start to spread their oats then what effects do we think shouldn't be!? Why should the growing generation not want to have kids when they see how their parents have suffered? Sometimes a mother doesn't even need to say anything to her child they see. When a boy and a girl doesn't see an example in his/her father he/she loose their identity.

When all the governments spend their time filling their pockets then the epidemics "effects of mismanagement" slaps them back through social disgrace of degradation and extinction! What's the point in having  picture perfect presidents and monarchs while their people are in the gutter? Who are we deceiving? The guillotine may not exist anymore in its physical form but it has transformed its face through the presented "effects of mismanagement".

Terrorist- How to Run away from USSR!

This could make for a real comedy script. Terrorist who care for their captives. How to Run away from USSR!

Oppression no good oooo! Cant stop rolling on the floor from laughter. This story is in Russian language, by the way why is there no automatic voice video translator? 

Rebels and slaves!

I am beginning to see a different word for defining religion "to hold" apart from the initially defined perspective to have faith in God the little gods of the lands also crave for worship, as far as I am concerned many are no different from slave owners. Considering that there are over 6billion people on earth and every religion is fighting for absolute dominion, what tactics do religious groups take to winning souls and especially towards those strong minds and hearts that wouldn't give in to subjugation of the mind?!

It is quite evident if one studies history that many of those who openly fight for their freedom at a time where same people who could go too far in curbing same type of people to keep their power! Free spirited people have always been seen as rebels and very few walked alone! I hate those who have no faith in God by trying to subject human beings to their rule rather than show through their deeds faith.

Channels of ambition!

Most wars are senseless, headed by people who can't come up with better ideas "channels of
ambition" other than to kill, blood thirsty souls. Where one sees a war the attacker is brainless and greedy! The provocative side may be from either side but if a step isn't made on ones territory then attack isn't warranted!

Most foreseers don't have the background necessary for being able to prevent and at some point become the triggers for bad events to come! It is not enough to see a picture in the mind, one needs to do the right thing to prevent or at best stop certain events from growing worse by creating contra events, i.e. when one sees a great fire on a field the solution is not to try using water to put it off but to set an opposite fire towards it! Just to say isn't enough but to do!

To find oneself!

When one lives in a world that tries to dictate how one should lead their life those who can't separate themselves from the world loose self and losing self is same as loosing intuition!

There is a difference between when someone says be carful and when one says don't! One can tell or stop a child from doing something harmful to themselves or others but what does one do or say to an adult to stop? This is where wisdom "tactic" needs to be applied and often it seems as though one is evil but sets things right! As a coach for a very long time in my life and practice I have had to wear a mask to make sure things are done!

I refrain from subjecting people to listen, I never mess with free will but as a guardian I watch vigilantly the events and steps people take to know at what point I need to step in or step out! At times it is difficult especially when one has to exile oneself from others in-order  to support them! To find oneself is to accept oneself!

Measure for effort!

A phrase caught my attention while watching a program revolving around economic crises and it said "the world is focused on saving the dollar", it is horrible to think that the focus is concentrated on saving paper rather than people or nature!

If i should replace the word "economy" with "responsibility" then its  quite clear to me that we at all times must be aware about the manner in which we are consuming energy of the earth as well as self consumption which has reached critical levels. Why do i say critical levels? We are consumed by material things at least that is how the measure of currency value is made in the hard world but how about the soft world? Our morals and values have been degraded to a level where paper and things are now more important than a person or people or in whole nature. 

Money is a measure for effort and when ones effort is degraded to 0 then what is there to say when one feels like 0. How one feels about themselves and their craft is reflected in the asking price.

i went to wikipedia to find the definition for the word Credit (from Latin credere translation. "to believe"). Ones level of credit is equal to the level of faith. In the past ages ambition was the "it" thing when it came to surviving against nature, while now the level of ambition needs to reduce or if i may put it right redirected in a different manner, either to the moon or back to earthy ways of living.

Let me give you a perspective through a story of a lady i used to know who was forced to close down her business. She had a passive income stream that she in return had been reinvesting in another arm of her business. What shut her ability to continue growing was the fact that the partners that she had had been compromising her through none payment of her earnings by delaying it for 3 and sometimes 6 months at a time and this prevented her from being able to stand as a credible person and business in the face of partners or banks. Her business belongs to the NGO like type of operation which meant that most of her energy life line came from her heart and when at every point she was compromised and blocked through nonpayment she lost the battle to anguish that her partners had no respect for her business. As much as the hard world side of business is saying that she should know better and that it is the fight of the fittest they shouldn't forget that the foundation of the hard world of businesses that exist today was by same altruists. Every established industry today was founded by those who sacrificed their hearts and minds hoping for a better future and wasn't often based on self service in terms of financial gain.

All she could say was "At least i tried". Now i am asking myself "does one really get back what they give in the business world and in life itself"!

Conductors of energy!

There are people who are not affected by their past, in their life who is affected are those who create those experiences for them! This happens with people who are consciously healing themselves by not accepting the labels that the events try to create! They are the strong types of individuals who do not accept the baggage of others emotions or fight back when wrongly judged! It takes an enormous amount of energy to be such or it takes a state of mind that seems ignorant or indifferent to the actions or events surrounding them!


There are those who are channels, they become the energy flow for those who pass through them! If people understand that 80% of the body is made of water and that their heart is also a generator of energy! Some people are processors of the environment just as there are conductors of energy!

Do not seek to be!

I pretty much understand now why some well known performers die before their time, they had compromised their gift to money! That internal voice that is yearning to come out is automatically shut down when instead of creating they are made to pursue financial gains! True artists should stick with  what they know and leave the business to the business people. Never, Never if you have a voice inside trade it for fame! The courage it takes to stand out on your own is hard for those who choose to follow the public in exchange for its gratitude! What profits a man to gain the world and loose his soul? The price of fame is death! Do not seek to be accepted or to belong to the crowd, seek to be better in your talent or chosen profession and everything will be added unto you, there are always ways and our father always provides for the day!

A talent is a talent regardless of the sphere of exploration and everyone who aims for making it big should be ready to do the leg work, to stand up for what and who one is. There are days when one feels like the world from without is tearing one apart!

People who can't understand where is one's spring of life begin to rip and erode the soil beneath one, do not succumb to being provoked into self destruction. It is sad that most times we hear about the passing away of our Hero's by the hands of ignorance and are seldom shown what happens after to the lives of those who were its tools! ах как коварна нeвeжecтвeннocть; oh how artful is ignorance!!

No prick to the conscience Why?

I was asked; "one would think that as you grow older you actually acquire experience in dating yet one is rusty! While a 22year old just gets down and has like 3 dates at a time and no prick to the conscience Why"?

The subconscious state of a youth is a state of mind where shame doesn't exist, they are exploring, this is something that weathers off in adulthood. A lot of social restrictions creates the issues where an adult who seemed to have been out on a prowl is now shot down. The state of mind affects the state of heart. Past bad experiences, feeling of inadequacy i.e. not sure they can give or receive pleasure is a factor. It is easy to get past inadequacy, simple way is to watch porn, i wouldn't advice anyone to pick up a prostitute but this is why prostitution exists, porn is better as it avoids one from getting infected or shamed. Remember that not all women or men want to be treated as a prostitute but many dream of being like porn stars.

Protect kids from bullies!

Why do some parents not know how to protect their kids from bullies? They were bullies themselves!

If only some people understood the law of attraction; the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. People either fall victims of their own actions or what they inflict on others often returns to its source. Many will disagree with me on this point but if you look deeper into their childhood or at a point in a relationship with a person they will see where they had acted. Someone who victimises someone isn't just in physical terms but morally as well.

The Ant and the Sluggard.

Ever watched the Ant or the Bee? Ever wondered what draws the need for search? The hunger to survive and be relevant in its community! Same it is with the human race. What attracts the Bee? Is it the color of the flower or the aroma or the taste of the flower? What attracts the Ant to anything? Is it the fact that it is programmed to just be relevant? I don't know the true attraction that ants have to things as when i watch them i see that they go after anything and everything! Of course every insect like the bee has sensors but the ant seems to be in-discriminative.

Never boast about anything for it breeds envy in the heart of Man! A lot of people do not know why they loose things or people and worst even themselves when they boast! Everyone wants to have the best! People who have a predisposition to want what others have or are made to wish what one has develop envy or jealousy, the very emotions of coveting! What ever it is that one has one doesn't need to hide it but dangling it in front of others in order to have self relevance in the eyes of others become targets! Be always aware that the act of coveting is triggered by boasters and those who pass compliments about things or towards people that are not theirs!

No one who wants to keep anyone before they are in their lives puts them up as an exhibit. People are not things! Telling a friend that you love someone else triggers curiosity and may draw their attention towards what they may have not noticed before! Very few people are happy with their lives because they didn't make a conscious choice! By focusing someone's attention towards someone you admire will trigger jealousy within you should the other person go after what you fixated him or her on! The act of coveting is as a result of people wanting what others want, would one be at fault for fixating the other? Sometimes to wake up people who take what they have for granted a good form of coveting can be employed. Humble and meek people are seldom noticed, best and longest kept things are simple! Do not protect things, protect people regardless of if you love them or not!

Differences of opinions!

There is a big difference between destiny and karma! Destiny is a gift with no demand for sacrifice but to only maintain it, while karma is judgement for actions!

If in search for love you deceive then you aren't looking for love but comfort, sooner or later it betrays you because love demands away with comforts and it now feels like sacrifice! When you demand love or ask for love then what you demand you must give!

To be barren is a way of feeling, it isn't just the inability to procreate but the unwillingness to fulfil someone's life or to feel unfulfilled with ones life!

Lego house!

A stitch in time saves nine!
phrase of speech.

If you sort out a problem immediately it may save extra work later be it on a personal, social or business level! What makes people bond, are the little things in deed!

A Kiss, A hug, a word! All these can be interpreted in various ways but in one word it is "acknowledgement".

They call those selfish who do not show affection for a person next to them or deeds that are left unrewarded! There are those who do yet don't show and there are those who can't do but show, both in turn can be seen as selfish! To get wrapped up in wherever it is and not to turn around and see what the other needs the most is fatal to what ever big things one may be doing! Those who do don't ask anything but they need, those who don't do also ask for attention out of guilt not affection! A selfish or a needy person always draws attention and those who have a nature of giving take themselves for granted!

Хороша́ дочь! In Russian thoughts!

В чужо́й монасты́рь со свои́м уста́вом не хо́дят. When in Rome, do as Romans do.

Literal: Nobody goes to another monastery with one's own charter.

• This could be a disaster for the Romans as the society wasn't known for its saintly behaviours! It created more havoc that the rulers couldn't handle any more! When someone comes to offer a better solution to an epidemic best to listen as Sodom and Gomorrah could be very near!

Зарека́лася лиса́ кур не ворова́ть. The leopard cannot change his spots.

 Literal: Vixen resolved not to steal chicken.

• Do not dangle a carrot before a hungry rabbit!

Е́сли бы да кабы́ да во рту росли́ грибы́. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts; If ifs and ands were pots and pans, then we would need no tinkers.

• Life dishes dishes and the cooks are never found wanting!

Заста́вь дурака́ Бо́гу моли́ться -- он лоб расшибёт. Zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse.

 Literal: Make a fool to pray to God, he will hurt his forehead.

• For those who don't have feelings one can only pray for!

До Бо́га высоко́, до Царя́ далеко́.

• What should one do to bring God and King to sit on one table to listen to one? Drastic times for drastic measures! Doing the ordinary does not draw attention!

За́дним умо́м всяк кре́пок. Hindsight is 20/20.

Literal: Everyone is strong of the hindmind.

• Oh I have met loads of cowards and wise asses and I have seen their end!

Закон суров, но это закон. 

The law is hard but it is the law!

• A law that is hard isn't a law. Laws deal with general issues not with specific situations. Go to court if you seek justice, but one may not find it there! Множество людей, но нет совести! Loads of people but little conscience. An advice is not made for everyone it's tailored to size!

Куда́ ни кинь, всю́ду клин. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Literal: Whichever way you turn, the wedge is everywhere.

• Whatcha gona do to survive is up to ya!

Когда рак на горе свистнет. When pigs begin to fly.

Literal: When the crawfish whistles on the mountain.

• Who whistles knows, who whispers shows!

Молоде́ц про́тив ове́ц, а про́тив молодца́ -- и сам овца́. Brave before a lamb, but a lamb before the brave.

Literal: He is brave when fighting against sheep, and when fighting against a brave man he's a sheep himself.

• Definition of a coward! A man without principles can not standup for anyone.

На то и щу́ка в мо́ре, что́бы кара́сь не дрема́л. 

Literal: The pike in the sea is there to make the crucian to stay alert.

• Those who irritate you keep you awake!

Не бо́ги горшки́ обжига́ют. It is not the gods who burn our pots.

Literal: It's not gods who make pots.

• Eat what you cook and dish!

Не рой друго́му я́му, сам в неё попадёшь.

Curses like chickens come home to roost.

Literal: Don't dig a pit for somebody to fall into, or you will end up in it yourself.

• Hug others and you give yourself a hug.

Не спра́шивай ста́рого, спра́шивай быва́лого. 

Ask not the old, but the old-timer.

Literal: Don't ask the old one, ask the experienced one.

• Age is but a number.

Пло́х тот солда́т, кото́рый не мечта́ет стать генера́лом. 

Literal: A soldier who doesn't want to become a general is a bad one.

• Even if you don't get to be a general at least you will become a captain/officer which is actually a better position than being a pen pusher in peaceful times! Generals who invent wars should be the first at the front lines.

Хороша́ дочь А́ннушка, ко́ли хва́лит мать и ба́бушка. 

Literal: Daughter Annuska is good, if praised by her mother and granny.

• A woman that is praised by her mother is waited to be married off! Those whom the family wants to keep is not paraded in the square! A girl that wants to marry is all dolled up! She who chases the wind does not want to be tied down!

Хороша́ Ма́ша, да не на́ша. 

Literal: Masha is good, but she's not ours.

• Listen to the neighbours on who is a good person and that's your wife or husband! For neighbours would not stick their heads for a neighbour they do not know!

Це́рковь бли́зко, да идти́ скли́зко, каба́к далеко́, да идти́ легко́.   

Literal: Church is close, but the road is slippery, pub is far, but the road is easy.

• For most to drink off their sorrows is better than to be told that they are guilty!

The jesters jet off!

A joke is he or she who trusted the wisdom of his or her people in exchange for his or her happiness.

When they say a leader should listen to his or her people the people never stop to devour the one for their own greed. If they love their leader they will be clear about their intentions. People mislead their tyrants and head on to live their life in penury. A jester becomes the jest and the jesters jet off.

Cindirelli's Gus Gus!

You can take a girl out of the slum but you can't make a slum out of her! It is amazing how some guys think that because a gal comes from a bad environment that means she is a punching bag! To grow up and survive in the slums one is well equipped to give back kind for kind, she may endure being bullied but only because when in bad times back home patience and faith pulled her through and since she was good she hoped that there is good in everyone!

For those girls who live in the slums do not follow a guy out of it, pull yourself out establish yourself to a level to command respect and a fela will appear to appreciate you better, than hoping someone who hasn't experienced what you went through would have value for who you are and where you came from! It's unfortunate but majority of guys go by what they see and treat you based on where they met you!

Iron curtains!

It's quite strange that people still think that Russia was made of iron curtains. I just went to google the list of Russian Writers and in it I saw Israeli, German, Polish, African surnames and ethnicity and I wonder were they the curtains made of iron?

Who is without sin?

A fool is one who speaks or does not out of experience.

An idiot is who doesn't learn from experience or disturbs anyone from having experience.

The wise either take advantage of others or their experience.

In all of these we guess not who is who if we don't look closely but judge are stupid to make a mess like pigs do!

Smart is who speaks out of experience, learnt from experience and takes advantage of his experience! And those who have honour are never bitter nor make anyone pay a heavy price for their experience!

Ancient Egypt's temples!

Proverbs were written on Ancient Egypt's temples and monuments. The language is a little fancy, but if you think about them a moment, they start to make sense. Give it a try. What do you think these proverbs mean?

Empty not your soul to everybody and do not diminish there by your importance. Egyptian Proverb.

• When people get to know the source of your wealth you will be of no interest to them! One friend could tell everyone so what's the point in hiding?! There is always Judah in the midst! To those who find treasure within the earth, build first the tools find the buyers and then go digging! Should you announce it first you may find your passion put down or worse rubbed! The parable of the Good Samaritan! Help yourself, help others! Pass on the good will!

2. The nut doesn't reveal the tree it contains.

• As much as a seed does not speak for the tree! Potential is seen in a seed! An idea when explored reveals it's potential, it's limited only to the amount of participants exploring it! Too many can be too much but not a bad thing if organised!

3. The seed cannot sprout upwards without simultaneously sending roots into the ground.

• To establish a great thing it has to have good foundation! The root of all findings are in our daily lives! Our experiences with nature and it habitants as well as our emotions!

4. A house has the character of the man who lives in it.

• Not always the person may not have enough to take care of it or a house can be setup to attract others!

5. A pupil may show you by his own efforts how much he deserves to learn from you.

A teacher should inspire his pupil to show what's within him/her! In return they will feed of each other! The art of exponential learning! Assuming that a child can't surprise a teacher with knowledge is ignorance on the part of the adult! Bring the heinous or the genius it's all in the power of the teacher!

6. Social good is what brings peace to family and society.

• It's the other way round as well! Thinking this way only breeds hell into homes! Social security in form of making jobs available as well as physical security brings a relative foundation for peace to family! If they say from within to without then it is from the family the source of good while the socials support it!

7. Knowledge is not necessarily wisdom.

• Experience may not teach people a lesson. Wisdom is cunning, a honest man may not learn how to survive!

8. Each truth you learn will be, for you, as new as if it had never been written.

• Truths written can be forgotten but can be revisited from time to time!

9. Listen to your convictions, even if they seem absurd to your reason.

• A conviction that seems absurd isn't a true conviction. Beliefs can be absurd but it makes sense to the mind that holds them!

10. Have the wisdom to abandon the values of a time that has passed and pick out the constituents of the future. An environment must be suited to the age and men to their environment.

Nip tuck!

Whatever begins with stipulations (clear conditions) ends up in the light (clear) Egyptian Proverb.

Hidden Meaning: Conditions clear at the outset lead to better results.

In business this maybe a good way but for relationships it creates havoc! The business environment is an impersonal environment where work is done and everyone gets their cut and heads on their own way! In relationships this forms into a cage! Relationships are based on the foundations of free will but with a tiny bit of invisible rules ie loyalty which is the foundation of trust! Creating a prenuptial agreement makes the environment unbearable it is a form of insurance but it doesn't ensure having a relationship! It sounds like , you give me kids and clean for me and In return I will give you money "security for shelter and food" it seems to me that this undermines and puts a human being on a level of an animal! Best not to go to the registry but to the church where God becomes the overseer and judge or give a vow to each other away from the family! This seems to bind people more as it is heart felt!

What is the guarantee that the bride to be can bear kids? What's the guarantee that the rich will always be rich? What's the guarantee that the house can stand natural disasters or a fire? What's the guarantee that the kids wouldn't die? What's the guarantee that the seeds planted in the farm for food and for sale will grow or not rot?

When there is a prenup it creates detachment and the relationship is now a "marriage"! Maybe it works for some but not for everyone! If one of the individuals within a relationship is insecure emotionally which shows in lack of loyalty, it doesn't matter what the paper says!

Who fooled who?

The costly news of today, will be free tomorrow. Egyptian proverb!

Hidden meaning: the secrets of today will, in time, be common knowledge.

The messengers of the past gave their life for you today to live! Those who murdered them didn't want you to grow! So when the public asked for Jesus to die instead of the thief they rendered their life into the hands of their own rulers! Who seems to have been smart was Moses, he lead his people out of slavery, led them to the Promice land and went back to Mount Sinai (Mountain in Saint Catherine, Egypt) to live the rest of his life in relative peace!

Forgive them for they know not what they ask for!

No do, can't do, won't do!

Do not judge and don't judge yourself!

They have judged themselves not you!

Those who say they can't, can not, not you.

Those who say they don't want but do would make a mess of what you do!

Those who say it is impossible, can't and or don't want, it has nothing to do with you or what you do!

If you believe then you can and will do! Let that lead you!

Those who are good, and by hanging around the wrong company, get worse.

Be calm, trick or treat?

A few days ago I was chatting with a friend and the discussion went into what costume did one wear

on halloween. My daughter said "I was a fairy witch", he laughed and said "is there such a thing like a fairy witch"? And then he asked me what was I, I said I was myself, he burst into laughter and added "the only day Alsu can be who she is! A witch. I laughed too because he always thought of me as a Bitch!

A fairy God mother is depicted in fairy tales as one who comes to make people's dreams come through but what they don't know is that sometimes to make things or their wishes come true also takes a level of being a Bitch as some people don't know how to get out of their own way! Sometimes a disguise is required to get things done! I make my choice on when it is appropriate to be a Bitch or a Mother! A slap sometimes gets kids into order! The difference between a God Mother and a Witch is that one does the right thing while the other does wicked things! One gives through sacrificing herself while the other sacrifices others!

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly!

Don't look at the jar, but at what's inside it!

I am merging a number of idioms and scriptures to bring about some sense into why some loose or gain in investments they make!

1.Don't look at the jar, but at what's inside it.
2. Don't buy a cat in the sack.
3. Better is one bird in the hand than two in the bush.

The above would mean: "Something you have for certain now is of more value than something better you may get, especially if you risk losing what you have in order to get it." Good advice but may not be right on the long run if one is aware that the amount of money in ones possession gets depleted through expenses just as knowledge "information/experience" can become outdated.

In contrast to the above mentioned idioms a passage from the bible comes to mind " it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."! I herby proceed to deduce the following:

A man who has nothing to loose will always have something to gain! a "poor" man thinks ie will give the little he has for a promice of a better tomorrow and even if he looses it he has gained knowledge which he can later use "reinvest" to get back what was lost!

The "rich" hold on to what they have and would not part with it for fear of a loss therefor could be penny wise pound foolish! A rich man always thinks of risks which is fine but risks do not apply to thought alone but also to actions! Not knowing the terrain of a proposed investment deal is senseless but it is also senseless to put in money and not be a part of the process of implementation! Those who are rich have often become lazy and it is to that laziness they loose! They may get their returns in coins if the investee has honour but will not get the knowledge hence loosing even more than they invested! The banking industry is loosing out of good investments as they are more concerned with counting mislay margins rather than profits!

To pass through the eye of a needle implies that one puts an effort in what ever one invests themselves in! To pass through the eye also implies the ability to see new ideas or have an imagination! When one is focused on counting pennies one doesn't get to have pounds! My worry also to those who have a wild imagination and not earthly is that they may be tricked into buying a cat in the sack because they look at the jar, but not at what's inside it.

I was and they in conflict of interest and i felt like a fish in a bowl trapped between telling them to focus on the task they had to do and me having to help them find the balance! I felt like I was  being a hypocrite by breaking the principle of public service work while helping the women who needed help! From that day I decided never to be in such a position again!

What ever answer one gets let them use it and not try to measure it!
