NWO and other things out-worldly

Tonight I thought I’d just post some random musing as it were. I discover over the past few days that some of the blogs I enjoy reading are not the thoughts of random common everyday folks. They are indeed posted by people that do journalism of some type for a living. They may not be in the fore front of the MSM, they may not even be in the fore front of the alternative media, however they are journalist none-the-less. So I feel very tiny in this blog-a-sphere. Noting that I myself am usually the only one that browses my blog.

So I began to wonder why do this? Why spend any time at all writing here for no one to read but myself? I suppose it could be therapeutic in some way. Possibly a way to ensure that I get all this random traffic out of my head. Maybe I just like the sound of my own keyboard. Or maybe I am fooling myself into thinking that if I write stuff (and mostly I don’t “WRITE” anything I just post what other people write that I think is of some interest) because I think someone will get something out of it. Maybe some one will read this and have a life changing moment. Or at least stop to consider what I have to say. By the way, the more I type I do like the sound of my keyboard.

But, I digress. What we all do in the blog-a-sphere is hope to enlighten people to what we believe is the truth of the matter. And than can be just about any topic of discussion. Mostly in my tiny part of this world it has been political and cultural in nature. Which all of this horribly long introduction leads me to my topic: Why do people do what they do?

That is a question that I have studied for a several years. Not so much in a clinical way but in a real world way. I have discovered in my short life (45 yrs) that people always have a motive behind their actions even if they are unaware of the motive at the time of the action.

I have a friend who gives to charity. Now you may say to yourself, that is a very nice thing to do, and I would agree, however I know the truth behind the giving. My friend gives because he feels guilty for being able to take care of himself. He not only feels guilty for himself but he also feels guilty for every one else. Our company has a charity drive each year. My friend feels so guilty for being born into a comfortable lifestyle that he believes that ALL of us should give as well. He works very hard to make the rest of us feel as guilty as he does, and mostly it works. So a thing that on the outside seems like a wonderful gesture of humanity is really a drug for a guilt ridden soul.

I guess my point in all this is motives. My friend’s actions are very generous however his motives are very selfish. To some motives don’t count for much as long as the outcome fits their needs or works towards their goal(s). I feel that motives are the important factor. To me an action is nice, but if the intentions and motives don’t match the action, then the action is disingenuous. I for one would much rather have honesty. Honesty would cure a guilt ridden soul where an action is only a temporary fix.
