    No...I'm pretty much the same person morning ,noon and night....  What you see is what you get......I don't like violence or cruelty and help whoever I feel safe helping.......

    In other words you are balanced. You live your life on an even keel so to speak. I think that is very good  D. I try for that but I do not always achieve it. I guess I get points for the trying even when the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Thank you for your reply!  :)

    I'm waiting for the biggest financial crash ever Rosie......House prices in Hackney east London have gone from £ 30,000    25/30 years ago to around £ 3,000,000 - 3 million  pounds...... Certain people are going a killing when the crash happens...

    I'm pretty sure so many families will need help after that......

    That just took my breath away D. It rose from 30,000 pounds to 3 MILLION? I guess by now you heard about the huge nosedive the American stock market took on Friday. It dove 666 points. Now that is the mark of the devil/satan. I wonder if the donjohn had a hand in it?  If it keeps diving like that at least he will shut up about taking credit for the highs but of course he will blame all the people he detests for crash and will remain ever blameless. What a piece of crap he is. Thank you for your reply D. :)

    No not cruelty but tragedy really is ongoing - is always going on and if we look for it we can find it under every rock as well as right in front of us.  So if we focus just on that as much as we try we know we can hardly make a dent in it so we just can't think of it all the time.  Our lives might be rich spiritually as well as materially but we know that always lots of people are experiencing tragedy.  So does that mean we should make our lives tragic as well?  No - you try to help where you can but you know you can't help everyone nor do most people even want your help.  So we try to live happy lives in spite of all the tragedy around us because there is no other way.

    Thank you for your thoughtful answer og. For example.  During a natural disaster folks help one another out. They do not ask about political or religious affiliations. Those do not matter when you are faced with disaster. It's only when things are not out of control that the ugly in politics and religion surfaces and knives come out and the lies and the carnage. In a way tragedy forces us to be our kinder selves.
