Thoughts Post your little thoughts.

We do not have to like each other but we walk across the same earth just different paths. We all know how pain can appear unexpectedly without anyone knowing about it. So between laughing and crying the days are not always perfect and we sometimes struggle to do the right things without doing more harm. That's already enough. So at least just respecting each other it costs nothing even if it is unseen in silence. After all, we are all just human.
 
I had a caller today that needed a Polish interpreter. I tried to tell him I needed to get an interpreter but he did not understand. So I googled the Polish word for interpreter, which happens to be tłumacz, which I have no idea how to pronounce. At least he waited on hold while I contacted the interpreter service we use.
 
"Friction . . . the only concept that more or less corresponds to the factors that distinguish real war from war on paper."

"Everything in war is simple, but the simplest thing is difficult. The difficulties accumulate and end by producing a kind of friction that is inconceivable unless one has experienced war. . . . The military machine -- the army and everything related to it -- is basically very simple, therefore seems easy to manage. But we should keep in mind none of its components is of one piece: each part is composed of individuals . . . the least important of whom may chance to delay things or somehow make them go wrong. . . . This tremendous friction, which cannot, as in mechanics, be reduced to a few points, is everywhere in contact with chance, and brings about effects that cannot be measured, just because they are largely due to chance."

-- both quotes are by Karl von Clausewitz

I think this concept of friction can be applied to more than just war, but to much else in government and in life. Perhaps, instead of it being a conspiracy, or the so-called "deep state," it is actually just "friction."

There is freedom in just letting yourself be. To choose what you want and what you do not want. To be able to choose where you want to get involved and in which not. People may condemn your judgment especially if they expect a certain response and do not get it. They have expectations of you based on their own view of you that's their problem. You just have to be true to who you are and act firmly so that they do not walk over you or try to manipulate you emotionally because you are not acting according to their expectations. If you are satisfied with your choices and decisions and can live with it then that is enough. You do not have to be a people pleaser to be accepted. But you can be respectful in the way you say no.

Family feud bloopers… Nearly in tears from all the laughs!

One was… What won’t women leave the house without? Well without hesitation the lady replies vibrator…. The crowd and myself burst out laughing…. Stes jokes make me laugh even more. Then the son asks what is a vibrator…. Ummm, I just keep laughing! Luckily the washing machine beeped at a perfect time saying it was finished so I just kept laughing out the door… o.O

Just made me think about how the questions from my kids have changed over the years and how hes testing me in new ways…. It hadn’t been long before the vibrator question that he’d asked me what the blue pill was…. I guess his thoughts are changing too, oh boy *buckles in for this different type of ride* At least he’s interested in life, right :)
