Tipping the Scales

-
Sometimes for safety and well-being. We do it to protect a loved one. To admonish and return a practice in kind. Somewhat a retaliation tactic for the things we proactive. Isn't intention an important factor. Knowing if things are done to ensure our view of the world, to shelter us from the misconceptions... white lies.

We soon scorn the thought of being deceived, but in jest. We've got ways to manipulate statistics and shape logarithms. Various ways to lie with numbers. Disobeying traffic laws and having their freedom compromised. Including free speech with our ability to tell the truth, and the anti-truth.

Truth doesn't make the world an easier place. When there are absolute values, we may hold people accountable. Something we may not want to do to our loved ones, or any of our fellow man. There are people in our lives we love more than the truth. Values are individualistic. Do you have higher regard for truth - or for love? A hopeless romantic can't survive on a diet of truth.

This becomes a struggle for acceptance. Can we find a course to navigate ourselves to a common destination? Forgiving one's principles in their abstract state to live the physical person. Situations where we out maneuver ourselves to visualize beyond kinship to the mental paradise we cannot engineer before us. Are you willing to mend with limitations or is the dream going to drive away our humanistic flaws? Glancing, skimming, categorically breaking down; statistics or malicious manipulation > life happens. What is your level of accountability or acceptance? The truth is a compromise of factors. Each piece begs the value of compassion and honesty. What do you believe most: love, intention, protection, humility ~ always new chances.

I accept you as you are. People are not facts. Separate them and treat them with faith.

Girlfriend Application

  by: Michael L. Craver This is the result of a quarter-century of time, hundreds of thousands of messages, and common sense. My best advice is to think hard... Show enthusiasm and creativity and tell the complete truth. The more well-thought out and precise every answer is, the better off everyone will be.  Here we go... 1.       Describe your transportation situation (i.e., own, rent, lease, hitchhiking): 2.       Describe your living situation (i.e., owner, renter, squatting, halfway house): 3.       Describe your career situation (i.e., full-time, part-time, crowdfunded, welfare): 4.       What is your availability (work schedule, custody, commitments)? 5.       Have you participated in adult entertainment (defined as selling photos, videos, performing on stage, or otherwise NSFW content with or without pay): 6.       Piercings, ink, and alterations (permanent or temporary such as nails, lashes): 7.       Why are you single [ also: there is no time o

The M Path

by Michael L. Craver Giving birth is the beginning of a new journey. Changing times mean no path is certain. The chance to succeed or fail is beyond any math or science… An obligation to evasively maneuver the winding roads that will remain under construction for eternity. Carrying a weight of unknown potential and sacrificing every moment going forward- the gravity of decisions. The quality of our future depends on the choices of caregivers. The idea of ‘self’ is an extension of one’s body and incorporates everything that affects us. Doing for another is a karmic offering to the environment around us. The many moving elements of the world help determine each butterfly effect. What we do for ourselves includes the deeds toward others that bounce back our way. Mothers are the ultimate scientists. Raising these live studies in humanity. Mixing the need for compassion and emotional balance with the bold truth of where the world is today. Having to choose what may or will be… Many th
