For Erin...just some lyrics
(Although I know you aren't much into me posting stuff like this....)
*************
History Will Teach Us Nothing
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems were told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without a breath of real freedom were getting nowhere fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part
His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Convince an enemy, convince him that hes wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
History will teach us nothing
Sooner or later the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing
Know you human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for

Interesting lyrics. As we talked about last night, I think it's mostly because people are fragile and not really interested in changing on an individul level. On a group/community/society level, there is no intelligence amongst the masses as a whole and what has drawn and driven people through all of time will continue to draw and drive.
Personally, the one area that I think I've learned something in is relationships. I am trying my darndest to avoid bad situations or situations that illicit bad reactions from me. I'm learning, but I need more opportunities to solidify and ingrain new behaviours.
I did well monday morning when I forgot my work order and had to reschedule the MRI. Deep in my brain something wanted to lash out and throw a temper tantrum. I resisted, but I was still agitated internally. I called you and all was right with the world once more. I had refound my center.
At the Men's Renewal, we talk about why people come to the renewal, what they get out of it, and what the after effects will be. A common theme is that many times the renewal is just a little nudge in the right direction. Sometimes that nudge is exposing some long-ignored hurt (as it did for me), sometimes it's strengthening of faith, many times it's a realization that we are not alone in this world and there is a multitude of friends hiding right beside you.
