~ I have issues! ~

  • Mood:
  • Paying It Forward By: giving a widow my number in case she needs it
  • Yesterday cans: 14
  • Yesterday I found: 4 pennies & a "Fall" garden flag
  For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
~ 2 Peter: 5-9
 
 
 
"So this is Christmas
And what have you done"
John Lennon
"Happy Christmas (War is Over )"
 
 

As I heard the news of this a few words of John Lennon's song ( written above ) played over & over in my head. Hold Walmart responsible? Suing Walmart?In my opinion NO!!!  . . .  Personally I truly feel every inconsiderate selfish individual involved in that store at that very moment should be held accountable & responsible! Even the ones who saw this taking place but instead of helping kept "to their own business"!!!!!
Speaking with people     about the incident each had their own thought on what they would have done if they were manager at that time . . . myself? I would have set off the sprinklers  & posted employees ( myself included ) at the front doors ( couldn't close & lock the doors for these PEOPLE broke them down! ) with fire extinguishers & blasted the people  back in until police  arrived! Harsh? Pa-shaw  ! Going to be out of control? Careless? Inconsiderate? Stepping on & over an injured man? Pa-shaw  . . . riot control  !!! I am upset with Walmart choosing to RE-OPEN a few hours later, my hope is that they are dedicating a good portion of those sales to the man's family & loved ones!
 
I have worked retail so even thou I know many people shouldn't be working in that line ( bad attitudes ) I do have a lot of respect for what they have to do & what they have to endure for mere nickels  on the dollar ( sadly some come in with a bad attitude but a majority of time a bad attitude developes after having to deal with bad attitude co-workers, misguided managers & nasty customers ) . . . I worked at Toys R Us for a bit & let me tell you Christmas was not the "Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" there! Once they closed the store to the "public" to open it to a local church so they could do a mass portion of their shopping . . . these people may have gone to Church, they may have read their Bible but that DID NOT mean they applied God's Word that evening   ! Over 2,000 people  were in the store that evening  . . . the store I worked at had these very old rickety ladders ( can you say major safety violations?!! ) we had to use to get to the tippy top of those shelves . . . being on that ladder while a crowd of people  gathered below you chanting  , cursing  , shaking, banging, pulling it . . . I still have nightmares over that one nite!!!!!
 
I worked in a Deli/Bakery for quite a few years . . . people around the Holidays were extreme! For quite a few years I gave up my Thanksgiving's so we could prepare food for Holiday Orders ( oh I did not have to - I was given the choice - work & have a job or don't work & don't have a job ) . . . would go in late evening the nite  before & not leave until the Thanksgiving Day evening  making all those Turkey Dinners with a few other co-workers . . . one year a lady inspected her dinner & apparently was not pleased  with the results, so while my back was turn she flung that bird at me as announcing how we had "ruined her Thanksgiving"! I got suspended from work for a week due to my jumping the counter & smacking her upside her head with a loaf of french bread  ! ( I was 25 years old at the time )
 
Anyhow . . .blame the store? No  . . . blame the people!
 
 
 
 
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
Indian political and spiritual leader 1869 - 1948
Mahatma Gandhi
 
This to me is not the answer! I have different thoughts on better ways . . . would they work? I am not sure, that depends how much people really truly do wish for things to improve  . . . but telling people who are scared  to arm themselves & basically take the law into their own hands? No I don't think that is the answer . . . people have enough anger issues already  . . . you can see it coming of "I got a gun" "Oh yeah I got a gun too" bang bang & an innocent individual not involved in that dispute being injured or worse  . . .
 
 
 
 
I am going to end this entry with the lyrics of Depeche Mode song ~
 
 "People Are People"
 
People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I never even met you
So what could I have done

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

Help me understand

Now you're punching and you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man

Help me understand
 
  
 
 
~ May you ALWAYS be Blessed & may you ALWAYS Bless others ~
