7 Obvious Signs You’re Hanging With the Wrong Friends

My point of view is heavily criticized and I don't expect to win any awards with this against-the-grain piece, but if nothing else, I'm inspired to write and share and there's not a thing wrong with that!
Pauline ParkerPublished 2 years ago in HumansThe Cold War
Shortly after world war two Berlin was divided into three parts. The Russian side, the British side and the American side. Germany was divided East and west Germany. I served during the cold war from December 1978 to June 1983. West Germany was the free side and East Germany was the communist side ruled by Russia, behind what we called the "Iron Curtain." Overnight a wall went up in Berlin. Russia built it. It was designed to keep the citizens in East Germany. Russia also had barbed wire across across the border with a mine field included. There was an incident in which an East German citizen was injured by a bomb trying to escape from East Germany. The American's weren't allowed to go inside and the Russians weren't aware of the injured person. That person unfortunately succumbed to their injuries and the citizens were pissed at both sides. At that point the Americans and Russians agreed that if the Americans saw anyone injured in the mine field we were to call the other side and inform them of the injured citizen and that we were going to get them. We also were to inform the Russians we would return that person after their wounds were treated.

We who were transferred to St. David School – Grades 7 through 10 – from the various other Roman Catholic schools in Waterloo in the fall of 1967 were, I think, fairly pleased with our new digs. For those of us in Grades 7 and 8 especially, things had taken quite a turn as we went from sitting in one classroom, with one teacher the entire day, to having a Homeroom where core subjects were taught by our Homeroom teacher in the morning then, in the afternoon, we got to wander from pillar to post and classroom to classroom for such exotic subjects as French and Guidance, Typing and Music. There was even a Science lab and dedicated Art classroom. The Science lab had Bunsen burners and the Art room held magical properties. Being a Catholic bunch, we also had one class a week in something called “Revelation” which, really, was just a word to lull us into a sense of not having religion jammed down our throats.

When I was 7, anyone beyond 17 seemed old. I remember how happy I was to be carried on the shoulder of a 17-yo high school senior, ringing the bell to start my first school year. He seemed so handsome! And so old!

You know the importance of the need to let go, you know it’s wasted energy holding onto thoughts, people, and experiences that do not serve you, yet a lot of us find it hard to do.
amanda perkinsPublished 2 years ago in HumansThe Physics of Kindness
You can't help but reach out to support someone in need. After all we are the family of human kind. You may start with the analytics of a situation and a scientific approach to how to resolve an issue, but in the long run it's your spirit that guides you toward simple acts of human kindness. Sometimes it requires an intuition or observation to put you in action.
