I want to encourage people to write down their thoughts and feelings

However, I wouldn't necessarily post these thoughts and feelings online unless you have given this some real thought.

So, even though YOU need to know and feel what you really feel and not just be confused about everything all the time you also don't need to endanger yourselves to other people by sharing these things with anyone unless you feel safe in doing so.

Writing for me began when I was 8 years old. I mean I always wrote ideas down and drew cartoon like pictures like UFOs and stuff like this and trees and mountains and oceans and surfing but I also wrote a lot of stuff too like lyrics to songs and eventually I put music to a lot of lyrics I wrote. This helped me figure out who I was and where I wanted to go in life.

I was always really intelligent. However, like Einstein says: "Intelligence isn't very useful without Common sense."

It can easily be like a 300 mph car that you have no business driving anywhere. Because you likely won't survive it.

However, luckily I had common sense both from my father and my mother both naturally and cultivated both which I found very useful.

So, the last fight I initiated I likely was 6 years old at someone else's house over one of their toys. So, when I was sent home and never allowed to return there I thought: "Wow! That was stupid because I didn't even get to play with that really cool Toy!"

So, that is what I had learned by age 6 that fighting wasn't useful at all to me.

Defending myself when others attacked me was useful but not initiating any fights at all myself.

Of course I actually had good parents whereas many people did not especially in the 1950s.

For example, I had friends whose mothers and sometimes their fathers burned their arms with lit cigarettes for fun.

My parents were NOT like this so I turned out okay.

In fact, my father was valedictorian of his High School Senior Class in Seattle in 1934.

So, my point here is by writing down your thoughts and feelings you have somewhere to start to solve your problems and the problems in the world around you or even in your own family.

However, mostly you can only save yourself mostly not everyone else in your life.

Likely you like me will have to watch many people you know and love die from basically stupidity and ignorance.

Because this is what the 1950s were a lot like for me.

However, it is also true that I learned from both my own mistakes and other's mistakes as well.

But, the people who don't do either of these things are often soon dead and gone. 

This is what I have noticed in life.

Somehow I survived the 1950s, 1960s and things started to look up by 1980 and since then life hasn't been as hard as it was before raising my kids and being married and starting or buying businesses.
