A Friendly Inconvienent Truth
Here are some thoughts on my mind. In business, management lies and I know it. A majority of people in power are unethical. For instance a manager may be told to give raises to 80% of their workers. So, even if everyone deserves a raise they may have to shift people around in their opinionated performance reports so that 20% of people will not get a raise. Back in the day I remember a boss saying "we have little money for raises this year" and giving me a small raise. Then a coworker said,"can you believe they had no money for raises this year?" It was then when I realized a boss will not tell the truth because they would make things worse for morale, even though the truth is the right thing to do.
Other thoughts: People around here don't know the difference between climate and weather. I seem to remember learning that in 4th grade science. An example of ignorance - "This week is the coldest it has ever been. Therefore, global warming doesn't exist. It is all a conspiracy." Reality is - it is not. Climate is based upon a recorded measure of instances of temperature over a long period of time. For instance Hawaii has a tropical climate. It may be -20 there one time, but it is still a tropical climate. Global warming is the measure of climate and the proof that it is increasing in temperature over many years. It is also proven in greenhouse experiments that mankind puts everything out of balance with higher C02 emissions than ever before. It is proven over and over again. It is not a belief, faith is not required. One cold week does not a climate make. The same is true for super hot as well. If we had 120 degree week that would still not equal a warmer climate. It has to be measured over many many years and averaged in. Like the past 10 years have been the hottest on record. That is climate and that is fact.
Other thoughts: Why can't people be easygoing? I sense stress in many people and it is usually over the minutia of their day to day lives like people saying "thank you" and people not calling you. So many things don't really matter and so many things are fine even if I don't agree with them. For instance, even if don't agree with the conspiracy theorists I don't stress out and hate them. I just think they are misguided and leave it at that. I agree to get along with everyone. There is always something to like about everyone, sometimes it is harder to find than others. I try to live in the gospel. I try to love others. That is the way to do it and it makes life easier to live. Peace out man.
