It seems this legendary rock star can't control himself enough to refrain from sharing his militant, far-right-winged views, when asked to perform on stage. He has a certain amount of celebrity power and has been allowed the freedom to make a fool of himself. This is only my humble opinion, of course. All I want to say to his most recent performance is, Mr. Nugent, it is shameful for you to continue with your militant agenda by using the glory and power you have gotten from an industry that made you, when the majority of the brothers and sisters of your industry would find your miserable viewpoint extremely offensive and non-entertaining. Shame on you Mr. Nugent! Shame on you!

I know he isn't reading my blog. You didn't think I believed he was, did you? It just makes me feel better to speak to him as if he is reading, okay? Shut up.

The following is not directly related to my rantings about Ted Nugent. However, there may be a real relation. Another blogger has written a very profound entry concerning the time in her life when she searched for the purpose or point of life; and how she will be there for her children in their time of searching. I commented on the entry as I was very impressed with the way she expressed her thoughts. I have some further thoughts on the matter. Imagine that.

I believe lessons are being learned everyday. I mean there really is no choice. We are here, and whether we even want to learn is beside the point. Lessons are inevitable. So it is with love. We are here. We are going to love. We love our children, our friends, our spouses, or partners...Sometimes this love will come naturally; without effort. Sometimes love will be a choice we make requiring much effort.

The same is true with another emotion. Hate often comes very naturally because of something that has happened or been done to us. It is difficult for some to imagine that a soul would actually work to hate others; but, I believe there are those on our planet who wake everyday with that very purpose in mind. They will determine for themselves how much destruction, pain, or discontent they can bring to others for the day.

Yes, lessons are learned just because we are here, regardless of the reason we are here. Everyday we are faced with choices to follow one or the other; the paths of love or hate. Everyday we see examples of both. The very best of us can lead the very worst of us, and vise versa. When I read this blogger's views, the thing that touched me most, was that she brought out the fact that even if she knew the point, she would go on living her life. How real this is!!

For me, truth is in the seeking; and I believe, is very relative to what is going on in our lives. To say I know anything of certainty concerning why we are here, would be foolish of me. It would be awfully self-righteous of me to be so certain, because I see through a glass darkly now. The only thing certain is that we are here. Of course, you may be familiar with the study of philosophy, which asks one to entertain the idea that one cannot even be certain being here is a fact. Regardless, wherever we are, there are lessons being learned. There are choices being made. Maybe these are the point. Who knows? "Rock on all you lovers! Rock on!"
