Failing Up

Why are the politics in the workplace so bloody?  It is because they mean so little.  When individuals stray from the mission or purpose to protect their own interests, then the games begin. Just like in DC.

How exciting that we are going to the Moon again, but this has been done before.  Why did we stop?  If we had not stopped we would be on Mars by now, and the Moon would be a Thruway 
rest stop with a McDonalds. If we got to the Moon in 1969 with a Lunar Module made of tin foil and a space ship with less battery power than your phone, you would think it would not be a challenge to get back.  I mean they must still have the old plans?

After viewing the initial photographs from the James Webb telescope, it is more apparent than ever that we are a speck in a vast universe.  Does this make us, (Earth) less significant? On the contrary it makes us more significant, just the things we see as important less significant.  And, if someone or something is viewing us from their telescope, they may wonder how our priorities are out of whack and we destroy our planet to make our lives more comfortable for selected groups.

Like a dog or any other living creature, Earth is a breathing living planet.  Just like with any form of life, bacteria or fleas can come along for the ride and cause harm.  We cause rashes to our dog Earth, we cause him to scratch his fur away, but that's ok we have are home, and really we are not causing any harm.  As we pollute the waters it is as if we have polluted the blood flow to our dog, Earth.  Will we wise up, or does Earth need a flea collar?

To quote the great philosopher former New York Yankee great, Yogi Berra, "Deja Vu all over again".  History is cyclical mainly  because the human race never really learns, and the tools of the past are the tools of the present, just more effective with today's technology.  Leaders have always lied, followers have always been manipulated and followed, big nations attack small nations, genocide occurs, the innocent die.  Individuals, did not have rights based on gender and skin color.  The question is why does history repeat itself. In that answer lies the solution.

Whether a large city or the smallest of towns, the diner is the place that reflects the culture of the community, through the food, conversations, and people. Diners are America's sanctuary. Place's of history,  places of change, and places depending on the time of day that are our emotional and physical comfort food!  The diner is not red or white, it is America.

Education is the most powerful weapon!  It is through education that we question, challenge understand injustices and instill change.  It is a tale as old as time that those in power do not want the masses or those they view beneath them to be educated, for then they become a threat.  Education does not always mean sitting in a classroom, but to stay inquisitive, learn explore and question.

With all the events occurring in our lives the tragedies of shootings and war in the news, along with the January 6th committee, and decisive politics, it seemed to me the anniversary of D-Day was lost.   An invasion like no other. Sacrifice, like no other. Courage I can't imagine.  Good to stop evil, a turning point.   Let those who sacrificed never be forgotten.  Let us who have benefitted from their sacrifice never forget!

Memorial Day! The unofficial kick-off to summer.  But' a day to remembered all those brave individuals that died so we can eat hotdogs or tofu burgers, and attended parades.  And, just like a good Irish wake we remember those brave souls as we honor them in ceremony, and the freedom we have, because of their sacrifice to kick-off summer.
