A Man Is As Good As His Word

Those were good values to live by whether you were man or woman. When a person gave their word they committed themselves to that person, people, job, duty, chore etc. I guess you could say the key to this is commitment.

Those who fulfilled their commitments where regarded as honorable people, dependable people, and honest people. What happens when all that was good gets twisted into something evil and/or dirty? What happens when good intentions get twisted into something evil and/or dirty? What happens when your words get twisted into something evil/or dirty? What happens when you’re exposed to evil and/or dirty minded people daily? What happens when your children are exposed to evil and/or dirty movies, music, educational ideas, language, etc.?

Since children seem to be everyone’s supposed motivation and concern lets begin with them. Clean wholesome television shows that depicted goodness, togetherness, teamwork, husband and wife families, like “Leave It To Beaver,” “Father Knows Best,” “The Brady Bunch,” etc. were condemned by an extremist group who cried to the media loud and clear that those shows were depressing to the public, because those goals were not obtainable for normal people. Perhaps not but they gave us all hope and something to strive for daily. Instead of striving for something good now we have shows that our children learn how to steal, kill, carry weapons to school, lie, cheat, take drugs, drink alcohol, treat their parents like dirt beneath their feet, etc. and everyone has the nerve to ask why are children the way they are today? The language and the use of it alone are offensive on most of these shows! The television stations, producers, etc. deny responsibility for the children learning the trash from the shows they watch and the parents deny responsibility for allowing their children to watch such trash. So what happens when all responsible adults deny their responsibilities? All adults are responsible for this atrocity. The adults who produce it, the adults who air it, the adults who star in it and the adults who allow it are all responsible for it. The adults making big dollars off of these shows say they show kids not to do them, how? By showing them how to do it then mentioning it later? You’ve already planted the evil seed in them by that time, and everyone knows it’s easier to do evil things than it is to do good things. Doing evil takes no effort at all and is the lazy, selfish and cowardice way out, while doing good things takes work and thought. It is also a well known fact of life that children learn and remember more of what they see not what they hear or read. While all of the responsible adults continue placing blame everywhere else but where it belongs the rest of us have to suffer through more school killings, gang violence everywhere, suicides, games of chicken, street crimes, violent crimes of so called passion, aggressive anger management problem children, elderly abuse, child abuse and the new and ever present but not talked about parental abuse.

What is parental abuse? Parents under the legalized elderly adult age being abused by their children from any school age through adulthood lying or threatening to lie about the happenings in their household to get what they think they want by any means they can, any child from school age through adulthood who throws objects at one or both parents because they were told no for whatever reason then threatens to tell authorities the parent(s) abused them, any child school age through adulthood who deliberately stresses out one or both parents that have heart conditions to make them have heart attacks, strokes or die so they can run the house their way, any child of school age through adulthood who kills a parent(s) because they didn’t get their way or felt that their parent(s) were too strict with their rules and regulations, and any child of school age through adulthood who deliberately seeks to obtain the upper hand of authority in the home by any means of physical, mental and/or emotional abuse. Believe it or not this kind of behavior started back in the early nineteen hundreds and has grown into proportionate size over the years due largely to government covered agencies put into existence to help actual abused children but have made an ungodly amount of money over the years stealing, displacing and ultimately destroying man/woman family households. Instead of the financing going to the education of family life and living it goes to non working, single parent foster homes supposedly for the children but I know of at least one who recently bought brand new vehicles (4 of them from what the children and foster mother told me), and a new four or five bedroom home. What a government job huh? That is called tax payers money in real action there!

My grandfather was a very wise man. He said to me one day, and I’ll never forget it, “anything can be made to look good on paper to those who don’t know any better or any different don’t be deceived by what you think you see.” I watched in horror as my grandfather put on a pair of rubber gloves, picked up some dog poop and smeared it onto a large white board like the kind used for school projects then swirled it around on the board to make it look like some kind of modernized art work, he did three of them. Then he sprayed something from a can over that. The next day we took the “art work” to several places with us. Everywhere we went we were offered money for dog poop on a board. I couldn’t believe it. He turned every offer down and at the end of the day threw them in the trash can then asked me what I’d learned. Considering one guy offered fifty dollars for one of the foul things for his apartment, I learned that not everything is what it appears to be regardless of the overall outward appearances, yet people will buy into anything that sounds good to them or looks good to them without knowing the truth of it all. Then he turned to me and asked me if I had wanted them. Wide eyed I emphatically said no and he replied, “Good, never sell or give to someone else what you would not keep yourself it would be wrong to do so.” He was a six foot five inch tall half Blackfoot Indian and half Dutchman. He was a much abused man by my grandmother and my alcoholic biological mother.
