Human Beings


If anybody is reading this, they know that the Fool comes down pretty hard on people, usually Black and White. A lot of you think the fool is bat shit crazy. Maybe I am. But......

Let me, for a moment, at least during this post, clarify something here. The Fool believes that the Earth is inhabited by two and only two groups of homosapiens, which include, White people, Black people, Yellow people, various Brown people and a few Red people which constitutes one whole group. And then there are Human Beings, a very small minority with morals and a sense of right and wrong, who struggle to do the right thing. Human Beings see others who they come into contact with during the course of the day as individuals. In the old days, they were known as people of the world. If they disliked you, it was because of YOU, the person, and not the race that you might have belonged to.

Human Beings do not pre- judge. Human Beings are not in denial, nor do they make excuses. They have a sense of self, which the other groups lack. They are secure in who they are. They are kind people. They are considerate people. They come in all colors and are not bound by their groups ethnic, racial and religious beliefs. They are, for the most part, regular people who suffer through the same mind numbing, spirit killing, soul shattering days that the rest of humanity goes through. And the next day they rise to face the onslaught yet again while still maintaining their grace.

I think it was a quote by Benjamin Franklin. Of course the Fool might be wrong. Anyway... it goes something like this: "Charity means helping those less fortunate than yourself and expecting nothing in return." A concept that is really foreign in today's world. In the world that we live in today, the mantra is: "What have you done for me lately."

There used to be a lot of Human Beings. More than there are today.

A lot of people claim to be Human Beings, priests being amongst the worst of the lot. Another old saying comes to mind. (I have a lot of them) "Stealing in the name of the Lord." Sound familiar?

Oh yeah. Another thing. Human Beings possess a conscience. Something that is sadly missing from the first group I mentioned. But in the end: What do I Know? It is said that knowledge begins when you admit that you don't know. I do know that there are a lot of things I wish I knew and there so much to know that I don't even know where to start. So I try to begin at the beginning, Which is ME. That's where,… no matter who or what you are, you have to start. The journey is within.

It looks to be a really nice day on the hill. There's even a slight breeze.
