The central question in any society is "How do you define kindness?" and how this relates to Niceness.  It seems God is sending me a message about understanding these two concepts: being nice and being kind.   Nice vs Kind My definition of Nice and Kind  After considering other perspectives and discerning the Face Tests I have concluded that being nice, being kind, and being loving are all choices.   And being not nice, being unkind and being unloving are all choices.  Simply niceness is a choice.  Simply kindness is a choice.  Knowing oneself is the key to the understanding these.  We need to keep in mind -- that in times of weakness the choices we make are still centered on love.  The search for love if we are empty.   The sharing of love if we are full.  Some will question why did God allowed so many different cultures to exist, especially if they conflict so much?   And then declare this is the most unki...

So many are so upset with the ICE shooting in Minnesota of a young mother of three - what are we to do? Ultimately, each person must come to their own personal judgement.  Below I composed short review of legal justification in the use of force to guide my discernment. What came out from my discernment was my understanding of time and how the 3 cultures are always with us.   I labeled these warring sides by "the timeless cultures": My Conclusion I begin with a perspective on Gaza-Isreal: If one can justifies Israel's inhumane handling of Gaza during 2025 then one can justify anything. This is the "1980 Culture" speaking. If one can see the lack of order, the endless chaos and decaying values with the Oct 7 attack on Isreal then one can justify righteous actions in order to bring a just global order.   This is the "1919 Culture" speaking. Why bring the Gaza-Israel dilemma into the shooting of a mother of three within a US city?  We are at peace.  T...

I found a video speaking about the  Spiritual Perspectives on Beautitudes  and it has some interesting perspective… (please ignore the negative judgement of the church which I do not agree with). Here is what I ponder?  Given what we are learning about quantum world(s) it is now clear (but not proven) that reality and consciousness is about vibrations and frequency of energy.    Thus I am coming to believe that getting in tune with the harmony of energy frequencies does give one a glimpse into “other dimensions”.   (For now, let’s assume we’re in the right neighborhood with this quantum /mystic knowledge.) Given this quantum knowledge then dimensions and frequency of energy would reflect the essences of reality - then God and Jesus must have “known” this .   This does not negate our own human reality but begs the question about  the essence of Jesus the God (ie. aka the trinity).  More importantly, what do I do with such awareness...

Sen. Rand Paul recently published an article with his proposal to help the ailing United States health insurance industry.  LINK  What Rand Paul is missing Sen. Paul's article seems to frames the whole health industry issues in terms of " insurance price " and does very little to face the real issue: the state of the " health care system ".   The major theme from the loudest libertarian advocate is that lowering insurance costs will result in lower health costs.  And thereby providing an unproven idea of a more efficient health care.   What is missing is a through analysis of and a modern vision of the true relationship between Insurance <-> Health Care.   The basis for Sen. Paul's proposal is founded on libertarian economic theory that a free market with minimal government intervention is best for the whole.   The question is why should we believe this?  How does returning to a `free market` health system, ie. going back...

Recently, I discovered that I can gift up to $19K (2025) per child tax free - every year.   After investigating I confirmed this and thought about using gifting as a means of avoiding taxes.   In the end it is not that easy.  In this recent case, I wanted to help a daughter with a gift toward the purchase of a new home as an "early inheritance disbursement from my estate".  So I initiated several conversations with trusted financial advisors to learn about using gifting as a means of avoiding ALL taxes from my IRA .    Then, a key questioned was posed to me : "do you oppose paying taxes?". This raised the bigger question - what is my social responsibility to contribute back into the welfare of the state. Another advisor clarified the morally: "a gift is a gift" - and should be given without expecting to receive anything in return.    Good advise but in this case there are 3 parties in the gifting :  the receiver,  myself,...
