Yesterday I received an email regarding the fact that cell phone numbers will be listed for the public. First off I was not aware of this happening and fail to find anything on the Internet to prove it. I plan on calling my telephone company as soon as I get my happy face on (long night but totally off topic).
Everyone that received this email will now probably go and register their cell phone on our national do not call list. Even if they are like me and had not heard this news they will do it anyway because heck they got an email about it. I am not saying it is not true because it very well may be but I sure would like to find the info on it actually happening then following an email's advice. I mean I had enough interest to go look for the info before I did anything. And in this case if you registered your number there would not be any harm BUT some emails you receive like this are harmful in their suggestions.
This gets me to my point of how society is. It bugs me that everyone just goes where everyone else is going. On the weekend I had a close relative berate me for being on facebook. I commented that I saw they were a member and then I got the whole shebang. This person went into a long winded rant how facebook is so dangerous and they could take your pictures and put you in a porno show and that is why they took themselves off of it.
My response......"Okay what?" (can you feel the sarcasm).
What got me angry was not the fact that they were telling me what to do or the fact that they had NO idea what they were talking about but it was that they just believed what someone told them at coffee row. I feel bad for them. I feel sorry for people that do not have any type of self awareness. I pray for those people.
I do not think God designed us all the same. I do not think we are all to just follow one person because of what they say and that it may sound right. I think we owe ourselves to research something that may trigger an "AHA moment" inside of us and to ignore the rest.
When the Israelites were wandering in the desert ignoring Moses and what he had to say (and what he had to say came from the lord)...was teaching for us. I do not think they were supposed to just think "Okay Moses says this,so we need to do it" They were supposed to grasp the fact that there was a God leading them and to follow in faith and TRUST that all things were happening....good or bad...for an ultimate purpose.
Sorry I went on a biblical rant there. I just feel that we try to control way too much and way too many people.
I DO NOT like to be told what to think or feel.
I DO NOT like when someone ignores my feelings so I try to be aware other people's sensitivities.
I guess I want to empower people to become aware of that inner voice of what is right and wrong and maybe those things that we are just unsure of.
I do not want to be a follower and never have my own place in a world that is scary enough.
Told you I needed my happy face. Sorry if I offended anyone.
