You Are What You Eat: ........ An Old Adage Commonly Accepted

 

I would suggest that you are also what you think. I don't think it's just me who feels there is just to much nasty, mean, and pointedly propaganda, demeaning news out there. A quick example of this, A 65 year old man comes to his door, finds a black teenager standing there and simply because he has his hand on the screen door shoots him point blank range. What does this man feed his mind everyday? Fox News 24/7. Mostly bigoted, opinion "Entertainment" admitted by the Network. Individuals who have the polished panache of a TV Personality. And the ability to get large following because of a pretty face and nice voice. Yet do not even believe the propaganda they feed their viewers. A constant daily barrage of death, destruction, slanted political banter, dangerous opinion, and no moral issues with the consequences of their actions. A primary motivation of simple greed & money is king.

Some lower level primates cannot seem to realize that by constantly exposing themselves to this they are actually changing the humanity level in their thoughts and actions. So years ago I decided to try and focus on 4 basic things. Love, Generosity, Kindness, &

Beauty. I have found that simply by doing this I have become a better, kinder man. I can disassociate the bad things everyday and take them with a grain of salt. And with fore thought and 30 years of experience have learned to fabricate my own kinda propaganda LoL. That it is OK to love others, it is acceptable to be kind & generous, and that the appreciation of natural beauty can enhance our souls and the human experience. For this I will never apologize, and I urge everyone I come in contact with to emulate the example.

Thank You For Following, And may your days be happy, healthy, kind, generous, and very full of love. ❤️-Gary

Wash It Away ❤️

  Living In Fear: I have faced what I thought was certain Death 3 times. Been attacked out of the blue for no apparent reason. Have a broken rib, a permanently damaged shoulder, and took a trip through a windshield at 55 mph. Yet I am still here to talk about it. So many in life get jaded, they stop living because they are afraid. I have traveled the country 3 times. Been places few have ever seen. Learned to open my eyes and see. Even at 70 I refuse to live in fear. ............... Learn To Wash It Away 💓

Meme By Gary, February 2022

 

Arrogance:

Arrogance: Often times I find, especially with younger men. My precepts and beliefs challenged. At 30 and 40 they know it all. Believing they have a handle on it all, that their solutions are the only ones. Or that they are the only ones to perceive the direction of a society or the world. That what they see is reality, when the facts often times contradict their opinion. They have never awoken to their best friend dead in his bed next door. Lost a child, a parent or even grandparent. They have never gone hungry or suffered homelessness. Never suffered a great calamity. Never been to war. Wordy explanations using words which do not even reflect what the dictionary defines them as. Heady and great sounding sentences which reflect poorly on the ideal of real writing. Never having read the greats of literature, politics, history, or economics. But they know things and damn it all you had better listen. At one time I was such a man. But I outgrew this phase of living. Aged and realized I will never know it all. That what I think and feel is simply an opinion tempered by age. And that all I can really offer is my experiences. The knowledge which I earned from them. And a relation to the immense reading I have done daily and still do. No I cannot think for you, no I might not be able to change your mind. But I toil in the hope that you might one day see my point of view. That I might bring to the table something you have never fathomed or seen before. I have lost the arrogance of youth to think I have the answer, but to propose more questions & "possible" solutions. I have grown to know that what I don't know, forever will exceed what I do know.

      Or in essence I have opened my mind to possibility. ❤️-Gary

What Are Some Keys To Liking Social Media Again?

 

Give more than you get,

Find A Niche For yourself, mine is Kindness, Happiness, Generosity, And Love. It has been fun, and very mind opening for over 10 years now.

Police your comments, yet encourage them. Today’s world is a phone world… encourage 1 or 2 word comments.

Stop looking for perfect world, accept the flaws. And Block the bad guys.

Don’t be a grammar Nazi.

Don’t just share…….. learn to create to. Even just better selfies LOL ;)

Expand, the more you learn the better you get, and suddenly 1000’s are following you. Gary Graefen

Axioms Of Truth

 

Axioms Of Truth: Sometime I wonder at some of the responses I get to meme. Typically I try to make them share friendly by not embellishing them to much with to many words. Most of the ones I share I find to be self evident truths. Learned over an almost 7 decade life span, years and years of reading and after raising 18 children over time and operating 5 Business's and working at several others. But my thinking today is not the same as it once was. Experience & Life Long Learning, have tempered some things into a form of benevolent kindness. Sometimes realizations of a more spiritual nature. And then the face it realities we all have of a mortal life and an in your face kinda living. With the possibility of death every single day. As an Elderly white guy alone I get lots of assumptions made about me, my thinking, and where I might be coming from. Or assumptions made about my "Value" because I am not driving a Rolls with a chauffer 🤣 . Though truthfully many people prefer my company. I have had large numbers of followers over many years because I try to do 2 basic things. Entertain & Enlighten. And I do it daily for the most part. It is kinda like my second life occupation. I realize that I am far older than some here. And perhaps you look at things like I might have 30 or 40 years ago. Visions of reality are never written in stone. But they do change over time. This is just the nature of life itself. So when you look at simple meme with simple thoughts connected to them. Try to not to put to much "Heavy Thinking" into them. Most are considered basic axioms of simple truth by the majority of people. And like all life truth, not everything fits into a simple equation. These things are offered as a beginning, never an end. And truthfully I hope one day perhaps you will find what I have. The desire and ability to help millions of others see these things. If only for the sake of trying to help create a better world, and better ways of thinking. ❤ -Gary

The Care Giver Call:

 

You became sick and dying, You asked for help, I chose to answer the call. You needed help with simple things that at one time we all take for granted. Perhaps you could no longer wash a dish, clean your clothes, or make a bed. You would look in the mirror and be saddened by what you saw. The once healthy happy person became a shell of what once was. Nothing you can do will stop this process. It is a function of time, and simple living. For some it is faster than others. A product of life style and choices we make. For some those choices were worse, and so is the result. A Day came when you looked at me with a tear in your eye. You told me I will be dying very soon. I must do this and this and this to stay alive and I can't. It just is not in me any longer, It is time to say goodbye. I honored your choice, realizing that at some point in time. I also would be facing my own mortality and making the same choices. I wept that night at the loss of a friend and comrade. Knowing they would not be the last. The following day you took your last breath. They came to claim your body, I sat outside looking off in the distance. I started to cry uncontrollably. So very sad at the loss of someone who grew to mean so much to me. The following day I packed up your things, Some were thrown away. Some kept as a cherished memory. My good bye became complete, and waited for others to come. As my own mortality starts facing me, I see the choices. I see what I want and do not. Preparations are slow but deliberate. It might be a year, perhaps two or even 5. One never knows for certain. The call comes when the fight becomes futile. My only hope is that when it comes, The one Who will be sadly left to put my existence to rest. Will have the same wonderful memories of me. As I did of those I helped lay to rest. I will always love them. ❤

The Change Is INSIDE YOU, just accept it's release.

 

True ❤ : It has to end, you know the self-hatred, collective shaming, disdain for others, repressed trauma, fake positivity, meaningless materialism, the forgotten hearts. We are all tired of these patterns. We are not built to carry them, never were. They pervert and distort us. These emotions are far too heavy for tender hearts. It has to begin, with self-love, collective healing, love for others, and kindness. An honored story with authentic feeling, meaningful purpose and an open heart. We need to learn to surrender these patterns to a deeper love, of self, of other of earth. It’s why we are here. To rejoice in our time together. It’s time to lay down our weapons and welcome every precious human life into our arms like a new born. Every human cradled in compassion and kindness. Each person honored as a true reflection of the Divine. Every human loved like our life depends on it. Because it does. We are lost without each other. It is time to reclaim humanity. We can live as one group, not many. ❤ -Gary
