My perspectives are harsh, critical and flecked with intense patches of anger over what are clearly injustices in life. There is no argument that people who are hurt generally see those feelings evolve into anger, and at times, violence.
I will paraphrase the perspective of Scott Orville Bergren who said something I have found in life, that being there are flowers, “but mostly weeds.”
I have been honored with the presence of some very unique and precious people of excellence in my existence, who I place far above me in worth and abilities, intelligence and character, many who are members of the fairer gender.
I have oft seen the markers of such priceless gems indicated by several tip offs, and these have been so accurate that I long ago used these indicators without error in identifying such people.
This section is to focus and give credit to such people, to assure and encourage them, and to help uplift them above and beyond the hurt and pain they have been/are suffering.
Francis Bacon said that “if a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will be CONTENT to begin with doubts, he will end in certainties. Such is the story of my life, and I have found that the most beautiful people in the world inside and out, are dispensed by life with very unequal injustices. (Ovid)
