If You Tickle Me I Am Not Responsible For Your Injuries.






How you treat others is more important than you know. 



I never conceived of many things.
 /begin seeming randomness/

A crazy kid could decide to kill children and teachers. In their school. 

A person sitting in the back-center seat belt is at risk for paralysis
 if they get into a serious wreck. 
And it happens. 
It happened to a dear friend's young son. 

That another dear friend would lose their only teen daughter in a car wreck. 

That a family member would lose a child. 
And nearly lose another because of a freak accident.

That Alzheimer's, MS and cancer would compete 
for which is the worst disease in our family. 
/end seeming randomness/


Connections vs. Disconnections
It kind of all boils down to that. 

We form connections in our immediate space, which now includes the internet. 
If someone reads what we write, or listens to what we say, or is within our reach, how will we handle that responsibility? 

What we do to others can create mental distress - even mental illness. 
That's a simple fact. 




“ If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present. ”
Lao Tzu


So my simple point: Treat those in your present with kindness. 
Even if you are tickling them.
You never know what is in their future.
