Every man does right in his own eyes. Why? Because where a person is on his evolution from ignorance to full knowledge and understanding, it seems to him that he is doing right.
.................
A loving father knows the ignorance of his children, knows they are evolving step by step, here a little there a little until eventually they evolve to a full knowledge and understanding of all things. As children of life, we are evolving, and all on different parts of the evolutionary journey, and where we are today, some have been and others have yet to arrive, so look with kindness upon all creatures, and humans, wherever they are on their individual journey, for evolution is not easy.
However, with that said, too much kindness, too much indulgence, coddling, pampering and ignoring harmful thoughts, words and behavior (because you want to be kind, and not experience the fire from one who is ignorant) makes fools of would be wise men. Harsh and unkind words have their place, however, thereafter, show an increase of love, lest they esteem you an enemy.

Life is a firm teacher, an uncaring school master, and the rules and laws are set and do not discriminate regardless of where one is on the path of life. Life is law. One need not know the law to benefit from the law, but if you want a specific benefit you must know the law upon which that benefit is predicated.
You CAN do your life within the context of the life you were born into, but you CAN’T do life itself. Since you didn’t create yourself and can’t keep yourself alive except by responding to your body’s cues to get out of the cold, clothe, shelter, drink, eat pee and poop, you’re really not in a very intelligent position to tell life how it should do things, yet, people who complain, moan, groan and bitch about people, places and things seem to think they know more about how to run life, than life knows how to run life, and therefore it appears they have mental and emotional problems with life doing life its way, which, considering their dependence on life continuing to do its thing, is like publicly admitting, declaring and yelling, to anyone within hearing distance, that they are opinionated dumb asses, who, may admit in a moment of forced rationality and saneness, that they can’t make dirt, don’t know where they came from, don’t know why they are here or if they’re going anywhere but six feet down and dead. Maybe someone should nominate life-complainers for the dumb-ass of the year award. If you don’t want to get nominated, you might consider the poster that says: QUIT BITCHIN’ ABOUT LIFE DOING LIFE ITS WAY.
Considering the magnitude, complexity and magnificence of life, it is the height of arrogance, vanity and pride for a an ant or a gold fish to think that they have life figured out through their theologies, doctrines, theories, formulas, philosophies and other mini-mind conclusions. And of course, mankind is not exempt from making, in a like manner, of themselves, silly-ass fools.
The biggest and brightest contribution you can make to life is just to say, “Thank you life, for life,” and then shut the hell up and go out and enjoy life until it revokes your passport and terminates you with extreme prejudice.
Considering all the hell people do because of their beliefs and faiths, it only is reasonable that people who create no problems should get a bigger slice of Rhubarb pie.
Forcing change on people, doesn’t change people. It just makes them act like they’ve changed so they don’t get killed prematurely.
If all the people who want to go to heaven show up it would be hell if they act like they did when alive. Dying does not cure hellish people. People who believe dying is the cure for their hellish behavior listened to the wrong theological doctor.
Only if you are heavenly in a hell world will heaven open its doors, so don’t be surprised if you get to the pearly gates and the sign says, “CLOSED.”
.........................................................
When you say, “That’s life,”or, “It is what it is,” are you not saying that,“Life does life,”?
Does that not mean, every person, place and thing is life, is life doing life?
What about a person who complains, is that not life doing life as that person?
What about people who have philosophies, theologies, theories, beliefs, faiths, opinions, biases, prejudices and draw conclusions about life, or about anything and everything? Are they not life doing life, as those people?
And people who complain, bitch, moan and groan and are miserable, distressed, worried, afraid, irritated, upset, angry and violent, are they not life doing life?
And people who are at peace, serene, joyful, blissful and ecstatic, no matter what happens, are they not life doing life as those people?
And people who kidnap, torture, rape, rob, burglarize, steal, lie, injure, kill, do genocide and start wars, are they not life doing life as those people?
Or are humans exempt from, “THAT’S LIFE!” or, “IT IS WHAT IT IS!” or, “LIFE DOES LIFE,” or, “LIFE DOES WHAT IT DOES,” or “SHIT HAPPENS!”?
..............................................................................
Since humans can learn, and they do learn by good council or by the things they suffer, teaching how to enjoy life has value because most people prefer to be around chilled peaceful happy people (some are ready for the teachings) .
...............................................................................
Humans are ready for various teachings at various times in their lives. Whether ready or not, every human is a piece of life doing life and IS LIFE doing life, its way.
...............................................................................
If a human thinks life is stupid, life is doing life wrong, that human is less evolved and not ready for the teachings. This is true with almost every and any subject of inquiry or study. A human who is not ready for a teaching just needs to suffer more miserable-producing-experiences, until they become teachable. There is nothing wrong with humans who learn by suffering. They are a piece of life doing life their way, and if it does not produce continual joy, peace and happiness, they will eventually stop doing life their way and do life a better way. Eventually everyone gets it. Eventually everyone learns.
.................................................................................
Eventually everyone learns to cool their ego, selfishness, greed, vanity, conceit, extreme-self-love and pride (and all the unpleasant fruits they produce in societies and cultures) because they will have suffered enough. Eventually more and more folks will become pleasant, pleasant because they will realize that life does life its way, and they will accept that, and realize, that THEIR way and their bitching about life’s way) is the same as telling life they are smarter and more intelligent than life’s process, which is nothing less than ego vanity and pride in their supposed understanding, which understanding can’t even make a bug.
..................................................................................
When you trust that life knows what it is doing, and when you receive all things with thankfulness, life responds to your admission of ignorance and openness and will teach you, and you will learn by good council, and then you won’t have to learn by the things you suffer. Until you are ready to submit to life’s way, suffering is inevitable, so, if you can, if you’ve evolved enough, stop moaning, groaning and bitching about life doing life its way.

People get hurt, disabled, old and die, and that’s life. There are criminals and war and weird governments and economics, and that’s life. People lie, cheat, steal, deceive, rape, pillage, plunder and cut you off in traffic, and you give them the middle finger, that’s life. People get irritated, upset, angry and violent and burn dinner and are late for appointments, that’s life. People are inconsiderate and petty and mean, and that’s life. GET USED TO IT; DEAL WITH IT; GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON AND LIVE YOUR LIFE PLEASANTLY INSIDE, because, BABY, it ain’t always going to be pleasant outside, because today it’s too hot and tomorrow too cold and you lost your wallet and crashed your car and the good deal went south and you got kicked out of your apartment and your wife ran off with your dog and you want the dog back, and all of THAT, is life doing life. And then there are flies and mosquitoes and weird neighbors and earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes and volcanoes and plagues and diseases, and all of them are life doing life. And don’t forget the wackadoodle in-laws and the clerks that can’t make change and when your car broke-down because you forgot to change the oil in your seat-belt. Above all, TRY TO GET OVER YOURSELF and then, maybe, you’ll be able to quit your bitchin’ and moanin’ because you FINALLY HAVE COME TO REALIZE, life is a hell of a lot smarter than you are. UNTIL THEN, WELCOME TO YOUR PERSONALLY CREATED HELL.
