Tonight I watched a CNN video of a woman dying in a hospital while 2 security guards casually watched on and a nurse went up to the lady and kicked the dying woman to see if she was dead. Ever since I was a child I have heard appalling stories of the 3rd world status of the US health system and this one made me sick to the core. To think that any human could have so little compassion for another is nothing less than nausiating.

Only days ago, on the news, I saw a New York pensioner get run over by a car. The car drove on and people walking by seemed somewhat Un-Touched! So, I ask those who live in this country of ours: Be Grateful! We have not fallen that low yet. AND don’t let it happen. Remember, we are humans - Not Animals!

Hierarchy Of Values

This brings me to ask the Dr Demartini question: What are the Hierarchy Of Values for a government that allows such disgraceful acts to happen? A person (or government) will act according to their hierarchy of values. If oil and meglomania is the top priority and their health system comes second, then woe for the poor citizen.

I certainly know the Australian governments of the past have been no angels. They prostituted themselves to such a degree, they allowed over 20 Foreign Nuclear Tests on Australian soil and thousands of citizens have suffered the consequences. The prime minister even got Knighted! Common citizens would have got Treason for less than that!

During wartime, we knew our enemies. After the war, we suffered nuclear bombings by our “Allies” that leaves radioactive residue of our soil for an estimated 500,000 years!

Mass Destruction Of World Starvation

Getting back to the topic; someone’s daughter, someone’s mother, someone precious was allowed to die in a hospital emergency room. Chances are that she probably wasn’t wealthy, hence didn’t earn the carefactor of the heartless Profiteers in charge. One would be excused to ask this question:

Is spending a Trillion dollars on bringing down a dictator ( installed and supported by the same government ) and imposing Mass Destruction on that nation and its citizens really justified when your own citizens have a sub standard health system? Maybe I’m wrong here but the picture painted to the rest of the world isn’t exactly rosy. Credibility is flying out of the window faster than you can say Haliburton or Bechtel. In the process, the current (outgoing) US President has accumulated more national debt than the previous 41 Presidents between them. To such a degree that the worlds starvation could be stemmed for 12 months on one year of the US military budget.

Conveniently It was announced yesterday that the “assigned” Iraqi government are allocating major oil contracts to 6 US oil companies to do what the disposed dictator would not let them. Hmm… Lucky for Dictator, Robert Mugabe that Zimbabwe don’t have abundant oil resources.

Wouldn’t it be nice to allocate some of the spoils towards helping the citizens at home…

When A Nation Cries

In 1985 John Mellencamp released a great album named “Scarecrow”. It was my favorite album for many years. The lyrics of one track in particular comes to mind. Not until recently have I really grasped his message from the lyrics. I will let you work it out yourself. The lyrics of the Mellencamp song is below and I have added the YouTube clip for your listening benefit.

Justice and Independence ‘85

He was born on the fourth day of July
So his parents called him Independence Day
He married a girl named Justice who gave birth to a son called Nation
Then she walked away
Independence would daydream and he’d pretend
That someday him and Justice and Nation would be together again
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack
And she wouldn’t let nobody in
So a Nation cried

Oh Oh, When a Nation cries
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies
Justice look into Independence’s eyes
Can you make everything alright
Can you keep your Nation warm tonight

Well Nation grew up and got himself a big reputation
Couldn’t keep the boy at home no no
He just kept running ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round
Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed
When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame
Nation if you’ll just come home we’ll have this family again
Oh Nation don’t cry

I get a lot of emails. Preferably, people comment in the blog and everyone can benefit from the answer. My philosophies that are inspired heavily by Dr Demartini, Napoleon Hill, Kurek Ashley, Wallace Wattles and many more, do challenge a lot of people.

Why Isn’t This Working For Me?

Here is an example of an email I got from a lady last week: (she will remain nameless)

“I wish I could have $1M this week! Funny hey! But it is true! That is what I wish and hope for so much for a specific reason. Now, come on, you know you can’t do that with nothing!!”

This is very true, indeed! Now, I would have loved to get that response in the “Comments Section” below the post. Not in my email. My blogs are here to help lots of people and the best way I can do that is to make them public.

Million Dollar Thoughts

This was my response:

“You are at a place in life that you have traveled to. Your destination is a direct result of your actions. You, and no one else, is to thank for that. Everything you have is a result of the way you think and the way you perceive life. If you want a Million dollars, you need to have Million dollar thoughts. They don’t just come overnight. They are a result of abundant thoughts, actions and later reality. Wealth breeds more wealthy thoughts and poverty breed poverized thoughts.

The fastest way to change anything is to change your thoughts.

So you are right. You can’t “do that with nothing”. You need to have the basis first and that is abundant thoughts followed by abundant action.”

Unfortunately, my email bounced and the lady didn’t receive it…

Confucius Say:

To quote old man Confucius (I’m sure it was him), there is an old Chinese saying that sums up the above paragraphs quite nicely:

If you want to see your past, look at your current results.
If you want to see you future, look at your current actions.

Think abundant thoughts and you will eventually have abundant actions.

Have a most outstanding day
