The First American Lived Before Christ, In China
A poem I posted in November of last year I re-posted on my Facebook, because Confucius was a very smart man. But there is something very strange that he does that I could never understand.
First of all, this was before television was invented, before the days that we were all brain washed, plus there was far more oxygen in the air and a whole lot less paranoia. Even though they hadn’t gone to the moon or was driving SUVs, people were very smart about the important things, they had what science calls “common sense.” Something that got lost I think when we invented SUVs, but I’m not certain about that. Just trying to make you understand that intelegence was alive and well and Confucious was one of the wisest.
Confucious taught something that was very strange that I could not understand. He would have men and women seperated, they were not allowed to even walk together. Women had to walk on one side of the street and men on the other. That seemed so ignorant and yet it came from such an intellagent man.
I’ve lived 50 years now and I see that nothing on this earth has hurt me more than women, yet, nothing on this earth have I loved more than women. Now this is really strange. It seems the more I love women the more I am hurt by them, yet it is love that they seek and it is love that I give. This is a great mystery folks. This falls right in there with rocket science, and I’m not a rocket scientist, so I’m just really confused.
Why is it that God made it so that men and women would want each other, yet be so different that they keep missunderstanding eachother and hurting one another. It occured to me that inorder to survive, you’ve got to forgive, or you can’t live. I’m telling you this is a fact. You’re going to get sick and tired and probebly die of cancer if you don’t forgive those who hurt you. So we are forced to learn to forgive or we won’t live.
Forgivness I believe is one of the greatest virtues there will every be. Maybe Jesus didn’t exist, or like Islam believes, did not die on the cross. No matter. The story is full of moral. The greatest story ever told, whether true or not. After all the ugly things they had done to him, just before he dies, he says, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” Simply amazing, and he teaches that we should be like him. So maybe men and women were created so different so that we could learn to be more like the greatest story ever told.
If you can forgive those who have hurt you, you are a better person, and probably a happier person and a healtheir person than those who cannot forgive you.
