Love & hate

The hating game is as prevalent here as anywhere. I'm at a FOB that I always thought of as all for one, One for all. The cutest tiny FOB in the land. But things change and backs get stabbed and feelings get hurt. It just reminds me that Words said can never be taken back. Now a whole group will suffer for a few and that is a shame.

Pain and sorrow, difficult assignments will always be around us, but isn't that what makes us human? Our ability to cope and do the best we can with what we have. Life gives us lemonade, it's up to us to sweeten it for the good of all. I've been cautioned against talking to enemy V, (for you medical persons or not, we would give the psychiatric people something to calm them and our favorite term was Vitamin V)...enemy V- get it. This person is supposively poison, but if you're reading me, you know that I think everyone is functioning to the best of their ablility. I'm nice to all. Still, I know it's bad when the whole camp talks. Somebody needs a friend. Say a prayer...

My buddy is getting transferred- oh no! I cried a lot. He is one of the most outstanding, upright, kind, thinks of everyone but himself good fellow that I have ever met. He's younger than my son, but when I grow up I want to be just like him. He was not popular among a very few due to his commanding presence, but he was genuine and extremely caring. No one knows yet how much he'll be missed, but I do. I feel sorry for everyone and I fear they will be sorry they chased him off.

Then, the ever present terrorists. I saw on the news how the US foiled a bomb plot on a major airline headed for the States. Will this never end? Day after day threats, fear. How about, if you don't like me please stay on your own side of the street and I'll stay on mine. Case closed.

Speaking of, I'm here far away and my neighbor has her claws outstretched. My next R&R is planned around my next court hearing from her mad attack on my car. She still taunts and harrasses although I'm not there. So OK, court it is. I never pressed changes, but my insurers did, so off I go. This is ridiculous! I will be very happy to see my family and friends, so it's a win for me!

So practice love. We're only on this planet for a short time. I think I'll go and spread some now!
