THE WINDOW

THE WINDOW
"Sometimes I dread what's in my head
All caused by life now past
My MIND so active spraying thoughts
Distractions from a future blast

I look ahead a vacant stare
The window comes between
A division of reality
And what might seem a dream

And so I look beyond the pane
The vision of untold beauty
For what I see in awe I'll be
My mind breeds thought astutely

Right through the glass I see the grass
The trees with leaves they live
And there the sun up in the sky
A light that's real to give

But how I wonder how it be
This beauty given to behold
The window is the instrument
See through this pane our life unfold"

Wake up doggy. LOOK. LOOOOK...

While on my homeless Journey and on my enforced ‘camping expedition’ for 5 years, like anything in life there are things that you get used to doing if you do them often enough. Stuff that we all take for granted like home cooked meals, television and nice comfy Queen sized beds with cotton sheets and fluffy pillows are no longer a ‘normal’ way
of life. But you get used to the replacements. The soup kitchens, the boredom and the sleeping bags or thin mattresses. When there is no choice you have to adjust to the conditions. But one thing you don’t get used to when sleeping out is the lack of security. The lack of four walls to protect. The sleeping with
one eye open. The lack of privacy. The loneliness. The humiliation. The
Miser-ee……
But there are ‘trade-offs’. The good to come from bad. The negatives to positives. The biggest PLUS is the OPPORTUNITY TO THINK. Aaargh Haargh. No television. Nobody to talk to. What do you do? Lights go out when the sun goes down. Hmmmm…. More restrictions. But there are some options available. Mmm Hmm. You can hit the bottle or the drugs. That’s a pretty popular choice for people with little left. Pure escapism. But a saaaad choice because it leaves precious little hope for a change in circumstance. It draws you closer to the edge. Closer to the end. But by then you don’t care too much anyway. It’s why they overdose. Most don’t do it intentionally. But they sorta do. They just don’t know which trip it’ll happen. Pretty sad when you watch it happening in real life.
Then there’s Plan B. Find some sorta inexpensive refuge like a beaten up old van to sleep in. Or a nice outta the way piece of bush in the middle of nowhere. Or find places like under stairwells, commercial rubbish bins and park conveniences…. And then rotate regularly so you don’t get caught. Pretty lonely existence though. Or there’s the tent. You have to do it on Government or Crown land usually because the fees at caravan parks are unaffordable, especially in City areas. Then you have to adopt the ‘suck it and see’ principle. Move often because you have to. And that’s what this is about……

EYE LOOK. EYE SEE....

No matter where you set up there are going to be problems. Floods. Cops. Snakes. Derelicts. Somebody or something will always find you know matter how careful you are. And it wears you down. Big time. I was ‘lucky’ I guess. I had a reason to live. I was born to come back. It was what it was.
Only time…..

But what wears you down is the sleeping with eyes wide shut. With one eye open. You have to if you are in there for the long haul. Eventually that something or somebody will get you. And so you wait. You listen with your eyes shut but you aren’t asleep. THAT wears you down……
But over time you learn. Big lessons. I have said many times there are OPPORTUNITIES in hardship. One of those opportunities is that you learn to THINK. About yourself. About your situation. About LIFE……

Safe and sound but I can't SEE

See, it’s like this. The true definition of ‘Homeless’ is living without a home. A place of refuge. A ‘Safe’ house. Living without four brick walls to protect you. It’s sooooo nice to be curled up under the doona on a freezing cold and rainy night. Had a nice dinner, watched a bit of telly and now. “Oooooh, I love going to sleep listening to the rain”……
Yep it is nice. Nothing baaaad can happen with those four walls protecting you. Hmmmm…. Maybe. But how do you know you’re safe?
You can’t see outside. Which is pretty saaaad as well. Because you can’t see the beauty outside. The four walls stops you ‘seeing’. Aaaaarrggh Haarrgghh............
But I have a window in my room”.
Cop that!
Oh WOW. You lucky thing. Four walls to protect you AND you can see outside as weeeell. Oh man. THAT is sooooo coooool.
What can you see outside? Huh? Oh you don’t open the blinds. Oh….. Dear. You
mean you have a window to see the beauty outside but you don’t LOOK. Oh. That’s
saaaad. So very saaaad. See, the window is there for you to SEE OUT. But if you
don’t LOOK out you won’t be able to SEE, right? You still have wonderful
protection with the four walls AND you have a WINDOW to LOOK out of. Full
protection with an OPPORTUNITY to SEE the beauty outside. Oh WOW. The weather. The people. The clouds. The sky. The sun. The flowers. Buildings. Life. But you don’t LOOK. Hmmmm…. But then you won’t SEE.
Do yourselves a favor. Don’t do life the hard way like I did. I was in a tent for a loooong time and had to LEARN to SEE. Your Upper Case ME is your WINDOW PANE. Or should that read WINDOW PAIN?
Your body is your window pain of life. It is there for you your whole life. But
you must CHOOSE TO LOOK if you wish to SEE. Don’t wait. Look out the window.
See the beauty. Find the dream…….
Oh yeah.

          BOUNCE
You're feeling down, emotional drown, the world seems awfully flat
........Bounce
You look around, there's nothin' found. you're blinder than a bat
........Bounce
The eyes no see, the ears no hear, big problems with the gear
........Bounce
Self sympathy a bad disease, it's symptoms fuel the fear
.......Bounce

See no evil, hear no evil, have a ball and bounce
.......Bounce
Any ball can take a fall but not all will bounce right back
.......Bounce
The type of ball that takes the fall may bounce so wild and free
.......Bounce
But what's inside can't be denied the bounce is destiny
.......Bounce

Bounce me up, bounce me down, bounce me all around
......Bounce
It's what's inside that makes me bounce, so squeeze me gentle-ee
......Bounce
Bounce me up, bounce me down, bounce me all around
......Bounce
'Cause when I fall I'll bounce right back, it's what's inside of ME
                    ......Bounce            (x2)

                                                -    Song "Bounce"

Some balls bounce nicely....

Here I go with the D & M stuff again. You know "life is like a ............". Oh Oh. Do you think I need help? No.... seriously. Hmmmm......
Maybe I'm a few anchovies short of a Pizza Supreme. Maybe I THINK I THINK too much and it's getting the better-erer of Moi.
Those words above are a part of a song called "Bounce" that I have written. It is soooo cooooool but I gotta keep it under wraps until I get it recorded which is sorta happening at the minute (well, aarrgghhmm...sorta) Anyway, point is this. You will have heard the saying "it's all in the way the mop flops". Huh? You haven't. Oh damn. Maybe I just made it up and the dementia has made me forget. I wonder. Well anyway it's sorta like the way the mop flops except it's the way that "the balls falls". Yep. That's it. I mean I know the grammar isn't right having a plural noun with a plural verb, but it sounds better-erer for the STORY, which I am about to make up...... like NOOOOW........

Lotta AIR, lotta BOUNCE......

Ker Cum (throat clear). Huh? Well how else do you spell it?
Once Upon A Time there were lotsa human beings. They were all born at different times over a veeeery looooong time . I'm sure you got the drift......
And see all sorts of thingies happened to these human beings to make them sad. Some stuff which they caused themselves and some other stuff which just happened. It was part of life. Some got greedy and caused their own problems. Others had bad stuff happen like loss of family and friends, loss of their homes, loss of jobs. These losses caused a lot of grief, pain and suffering. Mmm Hmm. Lots (good story so far hey dot!)
Anyway then came the startling revelation by Moi that our ability to "Let Go" and "Move On" all depends on how wee BOUNCE. Sorta bit like Foorest Gump's 'life's like a box of chocolates' analogy. So....

HARDBALL anyone?

As you know a ball can be any type of ball made up of any type of material and weee love to use them for any type of fun, right dot? See there's footballs, cricket balls, golf balls, tennis balls, squash balls, rubber balls, and .... weeell you knoooow. Then there's balls within balls. Like footballs can be soccer, rugby, league, AFL (Aussie Rules damn it!) and onanon. The balls themselves can be different shapes which of course, effects the way the balls bounce, no? Right, pretty obvious when you think about it....
But what is most important in the bounce is what the ball is made out of. Could be rubber, leather, plastic, wool, paper. Then it might be solid rubber, solid plastic, even solid cement like the picture above. Might be full of a whole lotta rubber bands to provide elasticity like a golf ball. Or the ball might be hollow with an outer layer and nothing visible inside. But there is something inside, isn't there? Always. AIR. More specifically Nitrogen and Oxygen. So before weee get to the point, which always seems to take me a long time (because I keep saying stuff that doesn't matter like this!), I need to outline a little bit of weird science detail like:
1.    AIR that we breathe in and out consists mostly of Nitrogen ('bout 79%) and Oxygen ('bout 20%) which is a little surprising seeing most of our bodies are made up of Oxygen. Hmmm......
2.    Here are some thoughts to bounce around: Have you ever noticed that
different kinds of balls seem to bounce differently? If a ball is really full of
air, it tends to bounce better than one which is missing some air. You’ve
probably also noticed that balls bounce higher from harder surfaces, or that the
higher up you are when you drop it, the more it seems to bounce…!
3.    The reason balls bounce is because of the combination of gravity and
energy. Gravity is the force that pulls everything on our
planet towards the centre of the Earth. In the case of bouncing balls,
gravity is what pulls the falling ball towards the ground! As it falls, the
ball gains energy from its movement.
4.    As soon as it hits the ground, all of the energy gained by the ball has to
go somewhere! You can think of it basically like the energy is being pushed
back inside the ball and then propelling it upwards… or,
BOUNCING! Mmmmm Hmmmm.......
5.    The usual summation of Newton's Third Law of Motion states "For every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction." When two objects collide, the
direction of the force on one object is also applied in the opposite direction
on the second object.
6.    My head hurts!
7.    In the case of a falling ball, the force equation no longer stays in
equilibrium. At the moment of impact with the ground, the ball exerts a force on
the ground equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. Since the ball is
no longer at rest, the force is greater. In turn, a greater force presses the
ball upward.
8.    Bet that gotcha peeing your panties......
9.    The greater upward force overcomes the ball's mass, careening it back into
the air. The higher the acceleration of the ball, the greater the opposing
force. For this reason, the harder you throw a ball against the ground, the
higher it bounces.
Bounce also depends on the material of the ball. Consider a ball made of
steel or wood. On impact, the opposing force dissipates without bouncing. In
order for a bounce to take place, the ball must be elastic enough to conserve
the energy. More efficient materials, such as rubber, retain the energy better,
allowing for higher bounces.
10.    Hallelujia. Weird science is finished....... Yeeeehaaar (now cut that out dot!)

A HAPPY BOUNCE!!!!

So. What's the point of all 'dis? Well for a start I like the song. You'll luuuurve it. But that's not really it.
See all that stuff I told you about. The weird science bit? Aaarr Haaar. Well it is very appropriate to weee widdle ones and how we BOUNCE. When weee get hit with the big tragedy stick it is a FORCE to be reckoned with, just like the balls. When weee FALL, just like the BALL, we are releasing a whole loootta ENERGY. We need an opposing FORCE to combat that ENERGY, something to make us BOUNCE. And just like a ball, HOW WE BOUNCE is determined by what is INSIDE. Remember the Upper Case ME. Mmm Hmm..... INSIDE ENERGY..... INSIDE FORCE. It is what is INSIDE of each one of us that will determine how HIGH WEEE BOUNCE. Not just BOUNCE BACK but BOUNCE....... PERIOD!
You should be getting used to the Journey that WEEE are on. You are simply WATCHING ME THINK. But also remember that I crashed and burned a loooong time ago. You are in fact WATCHING ME BOUNCE. THAT SONG "BOUNCE" will soon be in your head along with a whole lotta others. Writing songs appropriate to the Journey is helping me BOUNCE higher. It is a part of the Upper Case ME. Sooo......
BOUNCE back into LIFE. Find what you are made of. You've got the skin covering the organs but I can assure you all that weee don't BOUNCE very well and it 'ain't a good idea to try. Anyway the body covering that weee all have is only temporary. It wears out after a very short while. But there is a part of us that is very flexible, resilient, elastic, rubbery and will help us BOUNCE right into LIFE and BEYOND. When you LOOK for and FIND that part you will have the Upper Case ME. Then you will KNOW. Then you will........

....BOUNCE BABY....

Oh yeah.......

WRITER
"I want to write, I really do
Maybe pen some thoughts about me and you
I sit and stare at the display screen bare
What can I write, there's nothing there

"Hello" dear MIND I plead with you
Just give me something, old or new
Oh WOW that's it, I'm typing words
No good, DELETE, are these nouns or verbs?

Let's try some more, oh crap, DELETE
MIND gives me nothing, I can't compete
Bestsellers to films how do they do it
Not even a paragraph, I think I blew it

Damn what's the use I'll take a nap
I lay with my demons, the DELETE key attacks
I will not succumb, DELETE even my thoughts
My MIND will not function, a whole lotta noughts

But then as I struggled in meditative repose
Closed my eyes and could see a book written, by ME, I suppose
See my MIND was relaxed, my thoughts nourished in glory
No more need to DELETE, MIND has created a STORY"

- TriggerDot
aka Brendan Lauritz

You can WRITE if you follow the light....

For those of you who have been on this long Journey with me you will know that for most of my adult life I was a Corporate head, you know running around aimlessly trying to take care of Busyness. Hmmm....
You will also know that THAT didn't work. Then greedy boy here paid the price and slid, very shamefully under his rock where he lived for many years. But it's not all baaaad. I wouldn't have said it five years ago, but in fact it's turned out good, maybe even better-erer. And the reason for that is because I have been able to re-write my STORY. The story of me to ME. The re-invention. The comeback. The Journey. Whatever you want to call it. The STORY is what it's all about. Before the smash and crash I was just existing, as I have said soooo many times. The story prior to the crash was pretty much stock standard. I was 'out-there' I guess and carried on like a stiff on steroids. But there wasn't a story much different to most. Maybe a few funnneeee moments, hilarious ones even. But not an interesting book type story. Nup. Uuh Uhh. But then shit happened. Things got tough and I had to live rough.......
And then along came stoooory, doo doo do do do dodo doo doo, alooong came stoooory... doo doo doo do do do dododoo, cooool talkin' stooory.............

TYPE then WRITE. But grab a STORY first!

Most of us live to survive, like I used to myself. There isn't much of a story if we all do the same thing. I wouldn't buy a book about a kid who goes to school and college, has a few jobs with moderate success, gets married and has a couple of kids and..... well I wouldn't expect you to buy me. But then my life changed dramatically...... and so did the story. Without knowing, step by step I began to CREATE my new STORY. A different story with real life characters. A unique story that would change the way I existed. And more particularly the way I would THINK.
At the time I needed help in a hurry. I was one of 'those' ones that thought the baaaad stuff only happened to other people. I used to read their stories in the paper. Then right out of the blue I became one of them! Oh Oh. But it wasn't really a story that anybody else could be expected to find interesting. It happens to everybody else every other day.
So where did the STORY come from. I'm sure you know. The STORY came from my MIND. And the reason for that is because I CHANGED MY MIND. I changed the way that I was THINKING. My THOUGHTS changed and along with the change came a unique story and the way I am telling it, by WORKING BACKWARDS. So....

CREATE THE STORY .... CHANGE YOUR MIND

Right now I am sitting at a computer at the local Library talking (writing) to you in BLOG thingie. Not even an hour ago I had no idea what I was going to BLOG about. But then I started looking at and through all of the books. Thousands of them. All written by different authors. Non-fiction where the stories are based on EXPERIENCES, and Fiction where the stories are based on the IMAGINATION. I have no doubt the reason I am writing about STORIES is because of the environment I am in. Anybody can write. We all learn to write at school. It is one of our basic life learning skills. But writing something that will be read by others. THAT is another skill entirely. And from the little I have learned so far writing is only as good as the STORY to be told. The little poem above is pretty much on the mark. Like most writers everybody will get 'writer's block' where it just doesn't come out the way you know it should be. So all you do is stare at the screen while you think, or you write and DELETE, write and DELETE. But.....
If you go for a nap or some ME time and find a place of reverie just allowing yourself to BE, then at some stage the STORY will come. When it does your fingers will not be able to keep pace with your THOUGHTS!
Your MIND will give you the STORY. All you gotta do is.....

.......CHANGE YOUR MIND.....

"I wish I was a TV star
I wish that I could sing
I wish I was a ballerina
that dances into dreams

Or maybe even a football hero
Like Becks that makes 'em bend
A Supermodel like that Giselle
A brain surgeon to make me mend

How cool to be an astronaut
To cry 'into Space I've been'
I'd love to be a President,
Prime Minister, King or Queen

Rich and famous, oh yeah what a gig
So I'll dream myself into being big
And when I see the vision of what I'll be
I can smile a while for the OPPORTUNITY"

aka Brendan Lauritz

Looks comfy doesn't she?

As I continue on this very slow and complex Journey I am continually reminded of the amount of life learning that happens as I grow. Some are very basic lessons that I should have learned many years ago. But my NEGOB friend APATHY got me caught up in 'Busyness'. Uh huh. Runnin' around everywhere trying to make a buck. Trying to impress. Trying to be successful. Trying to look good. Trying. Building the ego. Using the skills for the wrong reasons. Looking in the wrong places for what ever it was I was looking for.
I JUST DIDN'T GET IT. Worried about what others think about me, especially the women. Wanting to be somethin' else. Something amazing. I wanted love baaaad. I would have paid for it. Sometimes in a roundabout kinda way I did.
DAMN IT. I kept looking for it. But I didn't quite know what I was looking for. What was it? Happiness? Nup. Throw away excuse. Everyone talks about finding happiness.
COP OUT. Define happiness. Well go on (talkin' to myself!). Got a pretty broad definition hasn't it? Wot's going to make me happy? Hmmm...
GOT ME. I was just looking. Go out. Get drunk. Find somebody. Get my cheap thrills. Feed the EGo a little bit more. Repeat. Look. Repeat. Look.......

LOOK for the OPPORTUNITIES

And NO, I just Didn't get it! Meanwhile, unknowingly, my life was getting swallowed up in trivia. Trivia like money, property, jobs, business, investment. I continued to not get it. I lost days, then weeks and months, then years. Oh Oh. Then decades.
See, herein lies the problem. We JUST DON'T have a lot of decades to swallow up. One decade is three thousand six hundred and fifty days. Sounds a lot. IT"S NOT. It's a BLINK in TIME.
But I'm one of the lucky ones. A bit of bad stuff like homelessness steered me in the direction of 'FIX', the land of repair. FINALLY.....
I still kept looking. Nothing much changed there. But attention to detail changed. I began to look for what I was looking for! Sounds pretty craaaazzeee, huh?
But it's not. That poem above explains the turnaround. I was dreaming for the wrong reasons. I wanted to be everybody else. I was looking at everybody else and wishing I was them. I wanted what they had. I kept LOOKING. I was sad. One decade. Two decades. Three..... Oh Oh. Heeeeelp. Please Someone Out-There HEEEEELP.
After decades of looking. Wandering around aimlessly I FOUND what I was LOOKING for. The Upper Case. You know the rest. So........

YOU WHOOOO..... it's ME !

In "Working Backwards" I talked at length about OPPORTUNITY. If you remember I mentioned the two main types:
1. The OPPORTUNITY in the form of Angelina Jolie who walks up to you at a bus stop and says 'Excuse me I'm an OPPORTUNITY, would you like to take advantage of me? and,
2. The OPPORTUNITY that you CREATE yourself. OhK...
See, in the first option I was never looking for Angelina Jolie. I mean, get real! The opportunity happened by pure chance.
But in the second I was LOOKING to CREATE the opportunity. There was a far greater chance that the OPPORTUNITY would come knocking, simply because I was putting myself in a position to take advantage of any more ' Angelinas' that might want to be taken advantage of. Put simply I was LOOKING in the RIGHT DIRECTION.
And so that's where I am now. My life has changed because of the direction I am LOOKING. I am creating opportunities that I just couldn't SEE before......
And I AM AWARE of TIME.

"How do I find what life's about
Unless I venture further out
Something in me is not content
Something affirms that I am meant
for more and so I have to try
and see if somehow I can fly
Going beyond the edge of things
I may find out that I have wings
Though they are of a different kind
than birds being mainly in the mind
Whatever now I seem to be
Yet more is to be found in me

SOMETIMES I can't see clear
The way to go from here
So then I pause and pray
Knowing God knows the way
I throw away the chart
My cautious mind designed
And following my heart I Trust
And flowing with the flow
I go by letting go
Believing that God's will
Will bring me to the still
Where I become the ME
God means for me to be"

  -    James Dillet Freeman, Poet Laureate
                 Poem "Following My Heart"

"I may find out that I have wings"

At some stage of your life you will question your existence. You will feel incomplete, maybe inadequate, and believe that your life means nothing. Stuff will happen to bring you down. It all will happen somewhere in the middle. The middle of the beginning and the end. In between birth and death. The stuff in the middle is something we have called "life", a man made word, part of a language that we use to communicate so that we can understand each other. I'm probably being a bit simplistic about something you already know lots about. I know I also talk about how I am emotionally drained myself because I want you to know how I feel as I move forward on my Journey. I was hit with the 'hardship stick' for a few years it is my duty to SHARE my feelings and raw emotions of how I felt during these times. I need to share my EXPERIENCES so that you will not feel ALONE if and when the bad stuff happens in your life. To help myself cope with these feelings and emotions I went searching. Firstly books at the Library, primarily Self Help and Personal Development, along with countless biographies and Autobiographies of people who inspire me with their stories. I also searched the internet for similar stuff. This search of mine helped me deal with the suffering. My NEED to SEARCH was therapeutic for my long term repair, my support 'medicine' to help me recover. In my book I termed this search NEEDSEARCH. So......

Is LIFE just an artform? Hmmm...

These EXPERIENCES are now a part of my PAST. Before they became my PAST they were my FUTURE. Now that they have actually 'happened' my FUTURE has become a LEARNING TOOL, not just for me but for all of us. By SHARING my feelings of emotional turmoil and emotional triumph, I hope that I can create a support mechanism that will help others to understand that they are not alone. I talk of my time in DEVIL'S DIP in the town of MISER-EE, which I explained was a place somewhere near Hell, a town full of fear, loneliness and despair. Devil's Dip that I referred to was the place where we feel most alone..... under the doona, crying, shaking rattling and rolling, curled up in the embryo position. Because of the mental affliction from the obstacle that has sent us into Devil's Dip, like relationship bust-ups, financial ruin, death, we have terrible trouble coping. At worst we want to end it all. I'm sure many of you can relate to what I am saying. If we have the most wonderful parents, siblings and friends that try to help us through the agony, but those 'angels' have not lived through what we are experiencing then, quite frankly they are not much help.....
But if we have somebody that has been through SIMILAR bad EXPERIENCES then the likelihood is that they will be a great benefit because we are anxious to know how they were able to overcome the PAIN that we think is 'killing us' and move forward. We desperately NEED that SUPPORT to help us through, to help us LEARN how to LET GO. Now.........

Earth is too small to register here.... so how small are WEEE!

You know how James Dillet Freeman is my favourite writer. The poem above is one of my special mantras that I can recite off by heart because it means so much to me as I move forward on my Journey.
When I was in Devil's Dip I needed help from people like James. I found them in the books. They helped me understand what I was going through.

                "Whatever now I seem to be, Yet more is to be found in me"
                            "And flowing with the flow, I go by letting go"
                "Believing that God's will, will bring me to the still,
                        Where I become the MEGod means me to Be"

Words like that are very powerful. Read them to understand your pain. They help you see others' experiences guide you through your own. They help you overcome the loneliness of feeling you are the only one that can feel that bad. But you will only FIND if you SEEK. So look for your ME, your Upper Case ME. Ask Someone Out-There for help..... in your MIND. It's there inside everyone of us. Doctors won't be able to help you find it because it's not inside your body. Your Upper Case ME is in your MIND within your Universal Consciousness. If you SEARCH your inner ME, your MIND will provide you with the THOUGHTS you NEED to overcome any adversity, any negativity. The next part in your recovery is sooo simple. All that you then need to do is CHOOSE what you want to become, where you want to go. CHOOSE whether life is up to one hundred years, or an eternity. CHOOSE wisely what you NEED to BELIEVE. Then it will happen for you. If today becomes the beginning of the rest of your life, if your brilliant future becomes the EXPERIENCE to SHARE to help others, if you find your Upper Case ME, then it will not matter what has happened in your past because your ME will give you an eternity of lives just like this life you are living. There is a reason that we live this 'one little time' in our 'lives'. Nobody knows that reason ....... YET. But some food for thought. Science tells us that there are somewhere between 100 and 200 Billion (with a B) stars within our galaxy, The Milky Way. Science also tells us that there are upwards of 100 Billion (with a B) Galaxies. So they say that there are around 1,000 stars to every grain of sand on Earth! Our Sun is a star. You could fit over one Million Earth's in the Sun (although if we were one of them we would need heaps of SPF 15+!)........
Hmmm.... those figures are quite incomprehensible and yet.... weeeell they are there! So how did they all get there? Why did one tiny little planet end up with 7 billion human beings? Or is there more to the STORY of WEEE? I think so. But something pretty powerful created all of this stuff. Some call HIM GOD, others Krishna, Allah, Buddha and.... well you know. But my opinion for what it is worth is that because we have been given this one life that we know of, it is up to us to live it as best we can. If we make mistakes along the way that cause suffering then we MUST LEARN and use our EXPERIENCES to help others. I'm pretty sure that if we search for and find Upper Case ME, then we will be on the 'GOOD' side of going somewhere. But first we gotta BELIEVE, huh?
