The Latest Post By Charles Gregory...Corrective Rape, Forgiveness, Not that into You...ETC

Good Afternoon Everyone..I just had the viewing pleasure of the latest video blog by Charles Gregory. Many thoughts ran thru my head as I was viewing it. Firstly, The Corrective Rape issue, I wish I could say that this is new and never been done, but it has happened for years. If any of you watched "The Women of Brewster Place", -if you remember towards the end when the lesbian (played by Lonette McGee) was raped by the neighborhood thug, he told her when I am thru with you, you won't even look at another woman.This has happened to many friends of mine that are lesbian, gay or bi. The actual vile act of rape itself- would make one think why force yourself upon another human? To consider it an act of purification is beyond me. Sexual proclivities can not be rectified (if at all) by an act of violence. The Just Not Into You...hmmmm...As I stated on Charles's Facebook page, communication is key to getting to know someone. The art of talking to someone has been replaced with internet dating, meeting and hopping into bed. No conversations that would and should include childhood, spiritual beliefs, goals and even views on politics. My grandmother used to say, if you let someone talk, they will tell you everything you need to know. People need to talk and LISTEN, if someone is crazy..there are signs, trust me! One of my mottos that is derived from my grandmother's mantra.."Talking will save you from Stalking"..People are crazy and will try to kill you these days. What is ideal about the above issues is, there hasn't been a healthy dialogue for people in so long dealing with each other, they don't know how to relate. To understand everyone on a deeper level, talking and asking questions and being open to listening and accepting...That's the key word..ACCEPTANCE...

Praying and not believing in God, The beauty of our mind and body is that God gave us free will to believe as we want to. But prayer, is the most intimate time and form of communication that one can have with the Creator. It's just you and Him, one on one, you talk openly and He listens. But if you don't believe in God and just in positive energy, when you can't forgive or angry, remember that positive energy of some form is what takes you thru the day, wakes you up, makes your brain work, correct errors when you're tired..Don't take that for granted! Plants and certain animals can't feel anything, but we can have peace and love and joy. Those surpass any grudge or anger you may have.
