Blissful Ignorance.......do you really want to know

I learned two statements as a child , one from a song and the second from a cartoon series. Ignorance is kind , knowledge is power. Anybody care to guess which was from where. What I realized from the sayings is that however much knowing a lot can be a good thing, knowing very little could also be in your favor. Case in point, believing in a being that you cannot prove exists is a kind form of ignorance. Children believing in Santa Claus gives them something to be excited about but the knowledge of his absence eventually frees them from dependance on the unrealistic at the expense of their innocence.
So what brought this on, well when you sit across the table from someone you are having a discussion with and everything he says is a lie this can work either way for you. Not knowing the truth could keep from harm or take you straight into it. One could argue that you shouldn't trust everything that comes out of the mouth of someone who's sole purpose is to profit. Brings us to another term set of words to live by,trust but always confirm.
In business , lies come with the territory but what about from someone you trust. You know that moment you spoke to a loved one and they told you a lie? Well depending on how big the lie is, it hurts when you find out. How about if the loved one lied to protect you from the truth, they may know that it could wreak havoc in your lives and you may never speak again. Think about that, I am not advocating for lying to your relatives or close people but you have the power to destroy someone with your tongue.
Please use it wisely......

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

FROM A FRIEND...TO ME

This goes out to all of the people who have been broken but have been strong enough to let go. For the people who have hurt so badly that they felt they could never love again, but kept their head up. For those who feel like going back to their old lover to put all the pieces back where they belong in hopes everything would fit, but accept the cold hard truth instead. For the people that learn from their mistakes and never stop moving forward, even when they take two steps back. For the people that wish loneliness wasn’t a part of them, but put up with it anyhow. For the people who come home with no missed calls, but smile anyway. For the people that periodically miss the past, but are so much more excited for the future. For the people that have wounds still healing. For the people that have so much tied to their past relationship, but break those chains to start fresh. For the people that want to look back so badly, but focus on the road ahead. For the people that pick up the phone s...

Someone needs to shoot the DEEJAY....

Expensive drinks and high cover charges, that's the price I pay for a hassle free night in a club with great ambience. A great night to me is rated against some distinct markers. Company,  choice of beverage and location.  Company ,if it's not your usual crew, has to be put together systematically to ensure you don't end up with troublemakers but with more fun loving and well behaved people.  The choice of beverage is just dictated by location and company. House parties should have more hard liquor than beers while the club scene requires more portability with regards to cans and bottles for the more agile of this generation. The last and usually most important, location location location. What goes into a location; distance,  cost, ratio of the sexes,  neighborhood and the music. If you are already used to certain clubs then the only variable present is the sexes and music.  Unless you are bringing your own company then the ratio doesn't bother you much b...
