The Art and Heart of Love
Posted by ELA on July 1st, 2009
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Sonnet #43 … Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“He Only May Chastise Who Loves.”
Cloud #9? … Hey! You! Get Off Of My Cloud! 
Nowadays, life on Cloud 9 should be as easy and as natural as love itself. After all, no other civilization had as much freedom, protection, education and potential as we do. Unfortunately, our reality is quite different—”We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.” Because protection of love, truth, honor and justice continues to be rare, most of our lives, rights and choices are dismal—our main option is to starve for love and drown in tears or fears.
Love is not an unsolved mystery—TRUE LOVE is as easy as it is NATURAL. Could it be that our “private” calamity and “social” jeopardy are the result of toxic ideas and unjust laws enabled by unpalatable, unstoppable and untouchable leaders. Quite obviously, most of our luminaries are either afraid to risk their popularity and money or they are unable to discern between right and wrong! After all, how can leaders protect a nation when some can’t even honor or protect their own families. How can our “love gurus” help us or our society when most of them are experiencing technical difficulties with their own love affairs. To make a bad situation even worse, most of us are not even free to exercise our free will while most of our pros are usually free to do as they wish. Whether it’s a bad bill, a bad pill or a bad joke, most private individuals can’t protect themselves nor their families—most do not have the time, money, rights nor clout needed to end a public Crisis. Needless to say, they shouldn’t have to—the responsibility for private and public protection belongs to our experts. Regrettably, because most professors and other professionals are well aware of our enslavement, as they master the art of distraction, they do so with great confidence and arrogance—usually, the greater the abuse, controversy or vulgarity, the richer and more popular the “celebrity.”
To add insult to injury, most experts will support “reverse” engineering in all critical areas of our society’s Crisis except for its roots: Feminism, Homosexuality and Adultery! None of us should be surprised—since most of our leaders are not only major players but also the main beneficiaries of our society’s Crisis, they have no desire to acknowledge it. As seen on TV, according to most leaders our society’s problem does not exist and will not appear in its entirety on most major networks—when it does receive an occasional dishonorable mention, it’s usually misrepresented and mostly used to boost ratings, not our society. Although all the networks have the platform, audience, time and access to conservative professionals who could have ended our Crisis years ago, most networks continue to opt for exploitation and manipulation.
Accidentally on purpose, our society continues to be fooled, retooled and refocused on financial, physical or professional success because chances for authentic lives and genuine success are quite meager. Whether we admit it or not, innate hunger for true love cannot be quenched by deception, lust, manipulation, fame, popularity, prosperity and happy arrogance. If truth be told, true love is as much a gift as it is a responsibility—as such, Emotional-Intellectual Mastery is not optional—it’s mandatory. Similarly, marriage, sex and parenting are as natural and enjoyable as they are indissoluble or inseparable. Unfortunately, instead of being grounded on truth and good, our lives are becoming more like reality shows and tragic love stories on Planet Hollywood—”Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.” Life and love on Planet Earth beg to differ—being human precludes perfection; ergo, sorry is mandatory. Genuine-sweet sorrow is the one and only pill that will heal the victim and the perpetrator. Remorse brings change, apology, forgiveness, maturity, accountability and glory—-”Go, from now on do not sin any more.” As such, laws which govern our lives should reinforce each other whether they were planted in our hearts by Parents, Big Brother or God. Alas, although years ago our society was very close to achieving a peaceful union with the Big 3 of Life, NOW such options are only enjoyed by a privileged few. Who, what, when, where and why does social progress seem to be retarded?
What does our government have to do with love? What’s Love Got To Do With It? Ideas are to our lives what laws are to our nation. Due to the spiritual and physical nature of every human being, spiritual laws written in stone, or the Bible and our hearts, have a very powerful impact on our lives—when natural laws of life are violated by civil laws, all hell breaks loose. As such, the gates of hell were opened by No-fault divorce laws and protection of adultery followed by various protections for abortion, homosexuality and all else—since legal protection of perpetrators will always violate the victims, it will also violate their ways of life or their religions. While homosexual marriages are relatively new and only legal in several states, adultery and abortion are already history. When it comes to abortion, an elective abortion might give an illusion of a much lesser crime than a partial-birth abortion or a therapeutic abortion, but their outcomes are identical–the child dies and the mother lives. When our government aborts vital laws of all traditional religions, aborted religious teachings die but the main religion lives on—in time, it becomes as empty or hazardous as a lighthouse without a light.
Whether it’s the death penalty, contraception, cohabitation, serial adultery or remarriage, multiple violations and desensitization go hand in hand—as such, many sinful or criminal acts are no longer considered as sinful or wrong—in most cases, betrayal is no longer a betrayal, cruelty is no longer cruel and brutality is no longer brutal. Even most of our morals and music are no longer sound—How Can Love Survive? When God’s laws are violated in the privacy of our hearts and homes, such actions are private—they remain between the sinner and God. When God’s or nature’s laws are violated and overruled by our government, such actions legalize violations and proclaim that traditional philosophies or religions are wrong and that our government is right. Consequently, even though religious followers are not forced to abort their children, commit adultery or become gay, our government’s protection of such actions comes with an automatic condemnation and proclamation of God, religions or their followers as wrong. Because laws of God and laws of nature are one and the same, non-religious individuals have also been forced to suffer similar violations, damages and pain for decades. Quite tragically, instead of natural remorse or restitution, countless secular progressives are extremely proud of their lifestyles, accomplishments and inhumane treatment of all people outside of their narrow minds or circles. Yet, it does not take a genius nor God to realize that protection of true love and responsibility is not the same as protection of true lust and irresponsibility.
To date, the unholy “unity” of the tragic trinity remains as our only reality: Government, Hollywood & the Media. Our media’s claim to fame is the all important role of keeping our government honest—since our government failed to keep the media and Hollywood honest, the results have been painfully visible for years. By now, it’s no longer relevant if the egg on everyone’s face came before or after the chicken dance. With no end in sight, as mainstream Americans are told to Shut up and Sing, corrupt media continues their watch over corrupt politicians while Hollywood is corrupting and choreographing our next dance. Given the intelligence, money, power and genuine talent of our celebrities, responsibility should be a natural part of their popularity—although they talk about it with great zeal, their hypocrisy is not only obvious and ridiculous but also dangerous. Even though most of our luminaries are in the media daily, it is hard to believe that most are still unable to hear and see themselves. Nonetheless, despite their liberal denials about damages inflicted upon all of us by modernism, our helplessness and pain of our children speak for themselves. Truth and logic will confirm that it is humanly impossible to satisfy our innate need for true love through self-abuse or abuse of others. The good news is that it’s not our fault. The bad news is that abuse of power and people is legal, highly popular & profitable.
Is Freedom of Speech and Religion Free? To date, the only certainty is that most Americans are only free to beg! Having the right to pray or attend religious services is not the same as having religious rights to protect one’s own integrity and family or having civil rights to enjoy a peaceful co-existence within one’s society! Having the right to remain silent has already proven to be harmful to children and adults. What happened to inalienable rights or the birthrights of all children? Given that we are entitled to justice, empowerment, freedom and protection, our Crisis makes no logical sense. Contrary to modern bunk, quenching our need for true love and sustaining its song and dance requires a great deal of hard work and compassion but not community action, a college diploma or even a GED. GOD’s infinite love and obedience of his laws are oftentimes more than sufficient for personal and family fulfillment—It’s Not a Secret What God Can Do. After all, it’s quite elementary that only ethical or honorable ideas and behaviors can stand the test of time and land us back on our feet and Cloud 9. Just as all ideas, actions and laws are verifiable, so are romantic dances, sonnets and songs—if you can sing it to God, Jesus or our Lady, it’s a true love song. If you can share it with your child, it’s true poetry and parenting. If you can dance through life with an honorable spouse, it’s true love. If you can protect your integrity and family, it’s an ethical personal philosophy or a civil law. If your partner or leader is dishonorable, ending the dance will protect your toes but it will not end your woes—staying, enjoying or tolerating dishonor makes the situation even worse. As such, whether one is a leader or a follower, problems call for the same type of resolution as in all other areas of our lives—personal change and reconciliation, not abuse or abandonment. After all, if one listens to Hell, it’s intimated that God has plenty of room for special or unrepentant abusers—America does not. Even President Obama’s Health Care and all the charitable or correctional institutions in America will not be big enough to help or house all of the spiritual cripples—perpetrators and victims—attacked or devoured DAILY by two-headed monsters.
Years of toxic cultural conditioning have been harsh on all of us. By now, most of us will find it easier to fight for rights to equal destruction than for truth, love and justice. Both, “religious” and “nonreligious” will find it easier to divorce from their own good, each other or God than to fight for their honor and families. As such, purity no longer rings our bell of liberty. Because most of our leaders are into self-service instead of public service, most will fight to make America green and mean but not pure or clean. Because they’ve empowered themselves in all vital areas of our society, they can do almost anything they want with US. Not surprisingly, their desire to end our crisis continues to be AWOL—as such, hiding behind humanitarian and political causes is more popular than ever. Who’s Who and who is forced to do our leaders’ jobs—the victims—oftentimes, even children have shown more compassion and courage than our leaders. Since Ms. Bristol Palin and Ms. Carrie Prejean joined a long line of brave souls fighting for our society, one can only pray that their fate will be different from the horror unleashed decades ago on Ms. Anita Bryant. Then and now, countless ethical leaders are still fighting a good fight—tragically, most will be shamed, shunned or swatted like flies—for years, power of the immoral majority has been infamous, legal and lethal.
President Obama’s administration did not create our Crisis but they have already taken steps to make it worse. As such, despite their claims of “transparency,” deception continues—without a major intervention at the Federal level, hard work, honor and love of every man, woman and child in America will continue to be misused, abused and degraded. “For every idea, trend or law there is always an equal and opposite reaction.” As such, with feminists, homosexuals and adulterous men or women having legal power to control our families and society, genuine conservatives are becoming as rare as integrity or honesty. Because social engineering made truth and good unappreciated and misunderstood, Gallup polls can be as misleading and predictable as Presidential elections. Since confused conservatives have caused more damages than liberals, genuine conservatives, families and religions are on the brink of extinction. Reality for the immoral majority is quite different—despite their immorality being at an all time low, their prosperity and popularity are at an all time high.
Sweet Land of Liberty or Land of Legal Insanity? “Social engineering” is nothing new—nonetheless, engineering a society into self-destruction is as senseless and frightening as some of our leaders. “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Because America’s Delicate Condition has been a problem for decades, perhaps along with peanut butter and water, Congress could investigate The Jerk Factor and its role in the demise of the Moral Majority. Although both were born in 1979, one can only hope that there are no other connections between the Opti-grab glasses, the gag order on truth and the grab of power by the immoral majority. Fact that our leaders can’t see straight has been made painfully obvious by growing popularity and legal protection of homosexuality. Quite obviously, if most “experts” are not wise enough to see blatant differences between men and women, it’s illogical to trust them with other laws governing our lives, families, national economy and security. We are already too familiar with the sad pleasure of adultery, abortion and other perils of feminism fashioned by male chauvinism. Our Crisis speaks for itself—most of America’s children haven’t had real protection for years because majority of parents or preachers have been put out of business by No-Fault mentality, legal insanity and toxic media trends. Currently, we have only 3 options. Because television evolved and might always remain as the main source of communication it must be utilized as the main source for Restoration of Traditional American Values in concert with a Congressional Intervention to initiate change in federal laws on marriage, homosexuality and abortion. If not, only a Class Action Lawsuit might be powerful enough to deal with the exploitation, inaction and Paper Roses of America’s Babble Heads.
The third and final option is as iffy as our lives—if Hollywood and Democrats would get a divorce, most of us might not have to divorce from our own good, each other or God. To debate or doubt the existence of God is very normal—to deny the perfection of His love or the perfection of Jesus’ way of life is not normal nor very intelligent. As such, if most men would go through a change of lie, most women wouldn’t have to. In time, birthrights, joy and music of every child’s soul would become as beautiful as their halos and lives from childhood into a well deserved and honored glow of golden years. Although most men like to deny it, honest and dishonest men have always been in power. Having honorable men in power is good for US—although such men are a true treasure, they are fair but rare. Needless to say, having dishonorable men in power resulted in our current Crisis. Due to our nature, a desire to have lots of sex but not lots of children is as logical as homosexuality along with other paper jams of feminism and social insanity.
(Correction: Dishonorable men are not small-minded to the point where they ONLY desire lots of sex: many also desire lots of women, money, cars, clothes, power, fame, sports, time, selfishness, irresponsibility and laziness or vacations. Thanks to a long battle over equal rights to self-destruction, today’s feminists are their equals, while genuine femininity and masculinity have been degraded to pawns and oftentimes, declassified according to their chest size. Because cheating one’s self out of love is not good for any of us, a little time and Fun with Dick and Jane might be in order. If not, Jimmy Buffett’s Bank of Bad Habits might be the only quick fix until Father Guido Sarducci can initiate real corrections and a permanent program: How to Pay for Your Sins.)
Seeing how God, Mother Nature and Father Time empowered men with the heavy responsibility and French benefits of leadership, going green should become secondary to going clean. By now, all of us have clouds full of blunders and thunders—although Jesus ended the controversy over casting stones, He had no problem with turning over tables and laws. As such, it’s time to trump the trump—it’s time to turn over some clutter, turn off empty chatter and kick every oxymoron off of our cloud. With the help of modern technology and knowledge, success is guaranteed—after all, flying elephants and Cloud 9 are a match made in heaven. For some, enjoying a fresh start can be as easy as enjoying the Stones and their song about Rainbows. For others, especially for professional politicians and other hosts of our Crisis, the process might be more difficult and hearing aids might not be enough.
As such, one can only hope that popularity of Governor Palin’s glasses might inspire some of our leaders to get rid of their Opti-grabs instead of Traditional American Values. Restoring our true vision is not only our right and mandate but also our destiny: One love, one heart, one mind, one family and one America won true love and the honor of being God’s Country!
“Common Sense lived a long life but died in the United States from heart failure on the brink of the new millennium … Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers and a stepsister: My Rights, Only Me and Ima Whiner.” … The Death of Common Sense by Lori Borgman
Love … True or False? … Does She Love Me? … Is He In Love With Me? … “Love, and tears, cannot be hid.” Love’s DNA demands fidelity, bliss and gentle strength—although tears are as natural to love as smiles, abuse is not. From childhood to adulthood, abusive love interactions are not natural. Self-love, family love and social love have nothing to do with sex—when sex and love of marital life become one, eternal bliss follows. As such, we are not wired for cheating, malice, confusion and abandonment—those are products of private and public ”moral” environments. Under natural or stable conditions, no one would doubt love nor premeditate harm to self or others. Because our social code of ethics is very harmful, so are our fountains of love and our relationships—in vast majority of cases, it’s not our fault. Consequently, premeditated harm must be treated through correction, truth, patience or separation, not psychobabble or condemnation. From a purely logical standpoint, ”Who hates even one individual can love no other.” From a purely religious standpoint, The Beatitudes are powerful enough to fulfill individual and marital love as well as replace almost all religious and civil laws. After all, A Manual for Conduct Becoming a Human Being is written on our souls.
