I hope Host at laest announces winner and says what reward will be, even if it doesn't happen till tomorrow.

Doesn't make sense for Host to provide a reward that any banished person couldn't share in--why have it???

Well, it's kinda quiet in here. I think I'm going to run to Michael's and pick up some Halloween sprinkles so I can bake cookies tomorrow. Why don't we meet back at 7?? Is that OK with you guys??

Vyk---an answer to your responses last night.

I think you have a good point about a “killer” instinct mixed with ego. With the exception of only one other animal, the rest of animals kill only for either food or self-defense. We seem to have the ability to kill for virtually any reason, and sometimes with a sick enjoyment of it!

Ego would explain it, or at least in part. Guess it might explain some of the other things humans do short of killing. It is too bad that we must be in control (or at least feel that way) so much that we do some of the things we do. It’s almost like we feel we have a right to take whatever actions we want on living creatures.

Making someone else look bad or feel bad so we look better…to ourselves or someone else. In both business and in personal matters---what a way to go about things.

I sometimes think that there is nothing more fragile that the male ego.

It is affected so easily, and usually in a negative way. Yes, females have egos as well, although it seems the affect on them is much different. Maybe they are as fragile….I’m not sure. Deep down, we seem to know how fragile they are, for look at the way we attack each other if it’s not killing. We go after the ego….we try to destroy it so that we may control the other person.

Look at what happened to Galileo when he said the earth wasn’t the center of everything…..he was thrown in prison for the rest of his life, and it’s been only a few years that the church officially said he was correct. Can there be anything more egotistical to not only think we are the center of everything, yet we also take these kinds of actions against someone who would disagree, having proof.

It’s almost like we don’t want to hear the things that show thee may be something more---something that doesn’t fit the mold of humans being the Gods of the universe. Then it just trickles down to individuals…..there are so many that feel they have to control someone by some means. The pathetic thing is that it seems the more a human wants to control another or a situation, the less control they seem to have over themselves------almost like they are making up what they can’t succeed in within themselves. Yet they go after someone else instead of attempting to deal with themselves. Much like people seem to be much better at giving advice to others than to themselves.

Where does respect fall into this issue???? I’m trying to see if there is any correlation between respect and such actions. Do people who respect themselves take these kinds of actions against others??? I’m not sure I know the answer to that one. Do people who respect someone else take such actions against that person?? I tend to say no, or at least there would be a lot less chance of it happening.

Could it be a combination of respect for yourself and others along with taking responsibility for yourself—not blaming others for whatever happens??? Let’s see……if a person had respect for themselves, had respect for other living creatures, and felt that whatever happens involving them is their responsibility…….would that person act with traits we’ve been talking about??????

My first reaction is to say that no, they wouldn’t, or at least be a lot less likely to do something against another human or even an animal. Can it be as simple as an issue of respect and responsibility??? It doesn’t see likely, for if it were, don’t you think we’d have conquered this type of thing by now??? Or are we so blind to ourselves we can’t overcome the very basics of respect and responsibility??? Shit, now I may be more confuse than before!!

Well, I’m going to pay attention to this now. I’m going to look to the folks that treat others well to see if the have respect and a sense of responsibility. I’m going to look at those that don’t, and see if I can tell if they have them or not, or to what degree if somewhere between. I’m not going to solve the problem……I just need to try and define it for myself for my own piece of mind. To know if someday there is a chance for us.

I'm back! Just got back from Michael's and the grocery store. I'm gonna bake some Halloween cookies tomorrow!! I love to cook...

While I was at the grocery store, they caught a man shoplifting. I was in the same store two weeks ago and they caught the SAME man shoplifting. I don't understand some people....

Anyone seen Vyk?? He's taking a long nap! We need to call him Rumplestiltskin when he gets back!!

So, you have a shoplifter following you into stores?? Don't let him get near your pockets!! LOL

I think Vyk has been doing other things today--such as having a good time--how dare he!!

btw, you can ask more than 20 if you haven't gotten it by then.

Boys and girls at home (outside folks), feel free to play along. If you already have heard it, please don't spoil it for the others.
