Like it or not, there is evil in the world and we need warriors who are willing to fight to protect our lives & our freedoms- this has been the reality of mankind from the beginning and we shouldn’t delude ourselves that it has or is likely to change

Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity. —Sitting Bull (c. 1831 - 1890), Hunkpapa Sioux.

Forced Confessions

Just a quick note. 

Don’t believe when the terrorist organization occupying Iran claims that so-and-so confessed to murder or injuring a Basiji. 

Majidreza was tortured. In every photo following his arrest, his arm was broken and he looked like he was beaten. These are FORCED confessions. When you’re being tortured, you’ll say anything to make it stop. 

And if you hear or read anyone claim otherwise, please say something. Do not let this terrorist organization perpetuate lies about our heroes.

Kian Pirfalak was a 10 year old Iranian boy who was murdered by the anti-riot police after they opened fire on his family’s car. This was his funeral today. His father passed away today as a result of his injuries too.

Love this portrait… there’s intensity and passion, without anger: extremely sexy! 🔥😜🔥

Read, reflect & assess yourself: it’s good for all of us and improves us all

Opposites Attract or I didn’t know he was my enemy because he’s the coolest guy I know.     ....Huh?

Raise your hand if you come to tumblr (at least my side of tumblr) to get away from the craziness of life. Yeah. Me too.  Let’s face it. You’d have to be literally living under a rock to not notice how divided the US has become and to be honest, it’s exhausting…so tumblr.

It’s cool how most of us seem to get along here. Don’t ya think? And yet, if truth be known, we have a plethora (favorite word since “Three Amigos”) of differences. Yep. We really are a rag tag assemblage of all letters of the alphabet, age, experience, and represent all spots along the spectrum of politics, religion, education, etc. You may not believe that but it really is true.  Many a time I’ve been intrigued by something someone posted and went to examine their blog only to find they are well outside of my comfort range in one or more of the areas above. And that always makes me stop and reflect. Always.

Without knowing we are so opposite, I center on something you’ve said (posted) as being awesome. For me that’s usually a post which suggests you have a warped sense of humor… just like moi. *grins* Then, after investigating your tumblr lair, I find out about your “dark side.” Hmm. Does that mean I can no longer think you are awesomely sarcastic and/or punny?? That I’d love to spend an hour over a glass of sangria with you trading quips and rolling our eyes as we groan in concert? Dude. What a horrible (and frankly boring) existence this would be if that were true. 

Do you know what an echo chamber is? Pretty much what it sounds like. “Sounds like”.. “echo”.. get it? I say something and the same thing comes back at me. This is pretty cool when you’re on a cliff edge or in a cave… at least until the bats come for you. And I get that in life we do like to hang out with folks who have a similar worldview as our own. Truly. I get it. Me too. BUT.. THAT SHOULD NOT MEAN WE DESPISE EVERYBODY ELSE UNCONDITIONALLY.  I typed that in CAPS cause I think it’s important… not because I’m yelling at you virtually.  From the D/s standpoint, it would be like saying I refuse to speak to, listen to, be in the same room with, or certainly become friendly with ANY sub who doesn’t like bondage. I mean, I may not understand them but it would be silly to wipe them from my mind like shaking an etch-a-sketch. Right?

And another thing to consider… this one is tougher so only the strong should continue reading….

(Glad you could make it..*smiles*) One more piece about being in an echo chamber…If you are old enough to read my NSFW blog, and most especially if you have children, you have to know that it’s extremely possible that one day your own words will come back to bite you in the ass. Am I wrong? No. I didn’t think so.  This does not mean that I am attacking whatever your current viewpoints are about life, the universe, and all things sparkly. It means that the human brain is meant to grow.. think… experience… think… change… experience…  adapt… and so on. What I believe today may not necessarily be the thing I believe tomorrow. And that’s okay. Trust me. So just don’t get so 100% hung up in your own point of view. You may not have the same one tomorrow. 

Damn. This blog turned out really long. But the message is short. Don’t be a close-minded ass. Most everyone has some element about them to which you might connect. If you’re lucky enough and open enough to recognize those elements embrace them. Period. End of story.
