I eat lots of things. All of us do and even at times we find it hard to swallow certain unprescribed medicines to keep ourselves in check or safe or well. There are even times those non-prescriptions involve the eating of one's own foot, so how did we get to this point?!
When a person makes a stand for whatever they are either sick of or believe in, they usually have something to say or do. My battle stance is my words, and when I feel my rights aren't right I will speak out-LOUDLY and, to the dismay of others not involved, it tends to be an issue. Today this happened to me with a group of people I hold comradeship with. I spoke out regarding the issue of adults behaving like children whining on a playground. But it occurs to me in the speaking out that I too am guilty of whining in my stand and, thusly, am chewing on toes and heel as we speak.
So how does one prevent these undesirable meals and still get to have a say in what drivel comes through to them? I don't know, I don't think anyone has a perfect answer to that question. And as battles go, when a person stands up, they become a target. I meet many people on the internet and many people abroad and can happily call most of them friends-close ones at that, but there are some who I am friendly with that I haven't been able to get close to. People have a right to express themselves and be who they are but we all want them to behave as we like. I love you all here at home and abroad. I want my friends to be comfortable to say what they want without the threat of a "sole" meal to cure what ills them. And as we all know by now when Mobe wants, Mobe assuredly won't get and for that I am sorry, especially when it affects you guys. I say what I want all the time and very rarely have to apologize for what I say as I feel there is no need to as I have a right. But now I understand some have a right to not have to listen and have the freedom to dislike or even bitch about it if they so choose. None of us enjoy the negative criticism doled our way, but we all have to face it and I got my dose of it today. I will always speak here from the hip and with all honesty and grace but I also promised there would be no censorship to what I say as this is my editorial. I won't even censor any comments(aside from threats of bodily harm or personal attacks against my family)placed on my blogs. I just can't do it with a clear heart, and want you to all know that you STILL CAN be yourselves, here at least, and you will be loved and accepted as my friends and colleagues, as my family.
This is a serious day of enlightenment for Mobe as she thinks about what she has to say all the time and even how to articulate it so it gets the best "funny" out of you and so it can be understood. There is no funny today, for Mobe mourns the loss of her foot and the lost of innocence and the right to speak freely. Everyday our first amendment rights are under attack and today is such that day...love one another, teach one another, guide one another and let live as you would want to be allowed to live~mobe's love to you all and her all to her loves
