Pleasure and Pain

I it is a natural human phenomenon to seek pleasure and avoid pain.  It is also a natural thing for animals.  Maybe even spiders and bugs and reptiles and fish.  In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth and it was good.  Some poor kids in Africa seek a bowl of porridge and some relief from the scorching heat.  Maybe a wheelchair if you are crippled and hope to have some good floors to roll on or a dry, hard-packed dirt floor or path.  God knows why there is pain and suffering, I don't have that intellectual capacity.

All good leaders should post a blog of their thoughts first thing every morning but they do not.  We say they are a good leader and then we go and try to find their blog where they have posted their thoughts first thing every morning and there is none to be found.  Maybe they are thinking of how to destroy the united States of America and bring and end to this scourge of individual liberty and freedom.

The wheels of life continue to turn, day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year.  Decade by decade.  Generation to generation.  We live for a little while with our parents if we are lucky.  Luckier still if we get to know our grandparents.  A few know their great grandparents for a short while.  Beyond that there is only written history.  Written in words on stone tablets and scrolls made from animal hides at first and then written on hemp paper and wood  paper at first with feather and ink and now digital photographs by the tens of thousands and endless hours of high definition video recordings posted for all to see on facebook and twitter.

And the blogs.  I guess I will forever be a blog man or at least until they bury me.  The blog is a quiet place for retrospection.  A singular place for an individual.  A place where the conversation and discussion can exceed the forty character limit and  go into the depths of a  farewell address or an occasional oration.  And if I were the king of the world, I would also require that the blog allowed uncensored reader comments.  That wouuld put an end to it right there.  When cousin Jonie stops by and asks hey uncle Joe  are you still sleeping with that neighbor lady down the street at the Lincoln Park Inne?  Well that would be the end of uncle Joe's blog as he would  either have the entire thing deleted and run back to the safety of his igloo or start to have all comments censored and only allowing the ones he likes to come through.

Well it might keep people honest about what they are doing.  But that is all some kind of a dream world that tries to form in my head but will never harden into real life existence.  Possibly we are heading back into captivity and this time with the vaccine passports and facial recognition software and artificial intelligence and chat ptg or whatever they call it, well this time it  might take the second  coming to get us out of this one.

So in the meantime we've got bills to pay.  And bills are paid with money as far as I know and money is made by working a job.  Funny how you'll have this guy who's got all kinds of problems his car is broke down and his shoes are worn out and his kids are hungry and his wife needs to see a doctor and every problem he has is solved by getting a  job.  I know the answer to all of your problems man, get a job.

All these homeless people on the street.  I guess we're supposed to call them un-housed now.  Orwell had it laid out how they would try to change the meaning of words.  And the idea was not new to him.  And of course Eurasia is at war with West Lacktonia and we need more supplies at the front.

I like writing here at my goo-roo watch blog, because I  think the answer to all of  my problems is cash flow.  After all a job is nothing more than cash flow, although it is the simplest and most time-tested and proven and guaranteed method of doing so.  And if you get stuck riding on the back of a trash truck well thank God for your paycheck, work the job the best you possibly can, and take action to improve your situation on your time off.  Thank God that you are not a slave and made to work one hundred sixty eight hours per week for no pay with no hope of escape.

I thank God that I am not a slave and that I had good parents and a  good upbringing and the ability to work and think and learn and have enough good health and years of life to have gotten to the point where I am today.  Without God of course I could not even open my eyes in the morning.  So I thank God for everything, the food I eat, the car I drive, the home I live in, the computer I'm writing on, my internet connection, my hands and fingers and legs and feet and toes.  Thank you Lord Jesus.

So what problems could I  possibly have?  Well ask yourself, does the world have any problems?  Are there people in this world, God's children, who have problems?  Pick a problem, any problem, and go to work on it.  It's like being in school and the teacher says pick whatever word problem you feel like working on and go to work on it.  It seems the public education system is not teaching anything of use and everything that will lead you to slavery versus leading you to big positive cash flow and high net worth where you would prefer to be.

So it's cash flow for me, so that is why I think I could end my blogging career right here at the goo-roo watch blog.  Because I will never reach a point where more cash flow is not needed or where problems no longer exist.  I thank God that I can sit here and work on problems without having to ride on the back of a trash truck forty hours per week.  When I go to work it is only to sit in a nice office in a nice chair at a nice desk and to work on the telephone and the computer in a comfortable and respecting environment with other professionals in similar positions.

I am like the guy who won the lottery.  Basically it's called wealth.  God has blessed me with great and abundant wealth.  Some with less money and more kids and family and love might say they are wealthier than me and even wealthier than Bill Gates or Warren Buffet and they are right if they say so.  Happiness is  wealth.  If you've got your health you've got everything as grandma used to say and she was right.

So if I always write at the goo-roo watch blog my readers can always say, hey Doug, you're getting off topic.   Stay on  topic and I can say oh yea this is the goo-roo watch blog get back on topic and the topic  here is cash flow.  These goo-roos have commericals that lay out the perfect world.  The world of too much cash coming in and not knowing what to do with it all so they use it to roll out marketing campaigns selling the dream to other people so they can make even more money.

I imagine a goo-roo who is  a good guru.  Or replace the word now with leader.  Say the president of the education committee in town.  Or the football coach or the boy scout leader.  Thank God for sparing me the things they try to push onto the kids at school now.  Praise the Lord and forgive me of all of my sins.  But the only good character that one could place in that place is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  So then you would go to the preachers blog and say preacher, teacher, coach, Mr. Committee Member, political leader, mayor, banker, lawyer, cop, sheriff.  We are homeless here.  We don't have food to eat or shelter.  And then you give it to them and they lay in there and shoot up drugs and order McDonalds on uber eats all day and play video games and watch TV.

So you got to start with yourself, and then build from there.  So I am here and I would like to increase may cash flow so I can increase my charity and at the same time I just want to relax and read classic literature and play the guitar and eat good food although I also want to keep my weight to where I can still fit in to my skinny jeans.
