Suffer the Children to come...

     As cherished friends, relatives and dear family members grow older, a thought comes to mind; it is difficult to realize continued life without their company, but it is even more difficult to release them from long term obligations of friendship and family obligation earned over decades.

     Whose life is more cherished; the living or the dying? Difficult to discern, when the living care so little for who lives and who dies; beyond their borders. Difficult to discern as they commit loved one to infirmities equal to imprisonment and incarceration. Difficult to discern when such loved and cherished lives are condemned to suffer in agony and pain; tantamount to torture. Difficult to discern when the pursuit of oppression, repression and destruction surpasses all forms that engage Peace.

     It is difficult indeed, to lose those one loves to illness and infirmity, death and disease; worse yet to watch them suffer in pain. There are only 2 prayers one can offered here; the first for Healing that may or may not come and other for the release from the pain and suffering; into the Peace sought for the entirety of that Life.
Which would you choose?
Which demonstrates the Compassion and the Mercy sought throughout the ages by all Mankind?
Would you deny others their Rite to Peace as you deny them their Rite to choose that Peace, while attempting to gain that Peace yourself?

Suffer ye the Children of Man to pass this way to Peace.

The Unwritten Rules

Alas, someone (G. Cross), has taken the time to write this all down.

Finally, "The Guy's Side of the Story."

I must admit, this is pretty good.
     We have always heard the "Rules" as laid down from the Female's side; now here are the "Rules" from the Male's side.
     These are the Rules females ignore.
Please note, these are all Numbered as #1; on purpose.

#1: Men are not Mind-readers.

#1: Learn to work the toilet seat; you're a big girl now. If it is up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complain about you leaving it DOWN.

#1: Crying is Blackmail.

#1: Ask for what you want; let us be clear on one thing.

• Subtle hints don't work
• Strong hints don't work
• Obvious hints don't work
• Just say what you want.

#1: YES and NO are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

#1: Come to us with a problem, only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

#1: Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument; in fact all comments become "Null & Void" after 7 days.

#1: If you think you're fat, you probably are; don't ask us.

#1: If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of those ways makes you sad or angry; we meant the other way.

#10: You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both. If you already know the best way, how to do it; just do it yourself.

#1: Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during the commercials.

#1: Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

#1: All men see in only 16 colours, like Windows Default Settings; Peach for example is a fruit not a colour; Pumpkin is also a fruit; we have no idea what Mauve is.

#1: If we ask what is wrong and you say "Nothing," we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

#1: If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

#1: When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine; really.

#1: Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Sports; ie: Football or subjects like Motor sports.

#1: You have enough Clothes!

#1: You have enough Shoes!

#1: I'm in shape; "Round" is a shape.

#1:Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that; it's like camping...

Pass this to as many Men as you can - to give them a laugh.
Pass this to twice as many Women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh, because it's True.

“What does Woman Want?"

In a World bereft of Common Sense, Common Decency and Common Respect for each other; there has been and always will be a Common Question that has plagued the male of the species for generations uncounted, since the dawn of the species.
An excerpt from the Philosophical Novel : "Andrai_el Whispers (What an Ang_el has observed...) I give you a plausible Answer to that aged and ancient of all questions:

"What does a Woman Want?"

A Woman wants to lead as leaders do, while she follows blindly. They want to stand by your side; in front of you and behind you; on your shoulders and on your back, while she is equal, yet not equal to you. She wants you to care for her and her family, as long as you do not care for her or her family, because she can care for herself and her family without you.

     She wants you to fend her, as long as you do not fend for her, because she can fend for herself and for you with what you have provided for her. Defend her against all odds if you dare, because she can defend herself, when the odds are in her favour. She wants you to do what she says, when she says, because she says to, as long as it was your idea. She wants you to listen, until you're deaf, when she can finally say, you're not listening to her.

     She wishes to be equal to you, because she is woman, but your equality is nonexistent, because she is after all a woman. She is your only delight, your joy and your pain, when pain has no joy or delight. You must see only her and no other, except for those she points out to engage you in meaningless comparison, which leads inevitably to arguments you cannot win. She shall question you on subjects you have little business answering and force you to answer so she can claim you never cared. She will force you into a corner only to claim you cower there. She will strike you like a man and claim you started it.

     Any form of defense is hers to use, but you are not allowed to defend yourself against her tirades. The World is Man’s fault, while she rules your world, because she is all that. She no longer cooks, cleans or does any form of feminine chore, they are beneath her, because her man will do anything for her. She will exhaust your life and your energies quickly, only to claim sole dominion.

     She wants you to spend 24 hours a day in her company, never leaving her side; except for the 24 hours a day you spend working to provide the things she wants. She wants a pair of shoes for every colour in the rainbow; a Diamond for every star in the heavens; a bag to hold everything or to hold nothing and an outfit to match each and every shoe, jewel and purse.

     She wants everything from you; she wants nothing you, she wants you to serve her, hand and foot, yet never be her slave, because she slaves for herself. She wants anything and everything her heart desires and everything your hearts desires, as long as everything your heart desires is “her”. She wants you to cuddle, to squeeze her and keep her safe and warm, as long as you never touch her.

     She wants you to cherish her every day and night, but never stray too far from her demands and commands because she believes she is Nature itself; never taking responsibility for that, which she has wrought with her simplistic ideals. Ideals which have dragged Mankind backwards down the path of evolution.

     She wants you to understand her, when she doesn't understand herself; to know her when she doesn't know herself and to trust her when she doesn't trust herself. She wants you to see her for whom she really is, under the fake hair, fake nails, fake breasts, fake lashes, the make-up, the lifts, the tucks and all the alterations she may make to herself and her body, but she wants you to be real.

     She is engaged in a constant battle with weight and the desire to eat anything she wants, because it’s all good for her and it’s all bad for her, as she diets without exercising and exercises without dieting; remembering at all times, it’s entirely your fault, even though you've done nothing wrong. She wants to be the center of attention even when she is nowhere in sight. She wants your life to revolve, evolve and orbit hers even when she does not care that you exist.

     In essence, she claims she knows everything and she wants everything, while she doesn’t really know what she wants, but whatever she wants, she wants it now. Once she has had it, she no longer wants it; unless and until someone else wants it, then she wants it back. Everything is hers for the taking, because she is woman and she will share with her female friends until her female friends want what she wants. If there is something in the world that can be had, a Damsel wants it and she will drag every female with her into the abyss that is her selfishness. All Damsels want and will always want more.

     All females believe they are the same, while males regard themselves as similar to each other; theirs is a competition, which is more civil, more open and more visible, unlike that of the females. The female on the other hand is more devious and cunning. Hers is an imaginary world, in which she rules the world; where she wants for nothing, where all things are provided for by the male, but thus, was once the case and then it was not enough. Is her ideal now the end of all things? fore that is the direction the Damselle points the species.

     Nature will and can never be the mother as claimed, because Nature does not abandon it young needlessly, nor does Nature have offspring out of spite, without responsibility or casually. Nature nurtures life in all its forms, it promotes balance and harmony among all things, where the human female, both Damselle or Nurturer, do not.

     In Nature the male is the giver of life; the nurturer does exactly that, it nurturers the life given, educates it and brings it into the world, where it is further trained to become the adult its parents are; unlike humans. I have yet to discern where the human female garnered the ideology that Nature would be perceived as a member of so cunning and devious sex, but Nature is far more kindly than either the of two human sexes.

Why she wants it? She can never tell you, but she wants it, now and she want it ALL!

Observe this as the last of this text; the female should look not for what she can gain from any relationship with another, but to what she can contribute to the Unity of the Species. Anything short of this continues the downfall of the entire Species. Is there a female among the humans of this Earth willing to be the continuing architect of another removal from another Paradise? Where in the Universe will the Species relocate to, once Mankind has destroyed this One?

"Life Lived in Excess"

The Excess of Lifestyle

     Hello and welcome to the relaunch of the "Mankind Observed" blog; formerly known as Angelic Observation. I had to made some changes and alterations to what I believed was a boring editorial of Mankind's exploits over the decades I have observed them.

     In this "Copy & Paste" digital World, where people choose rather the easiest way before the correct way; where simple terms and terminologies become a collection of letters with multiple meanings leading inevitably to a confusing future mired in the ever-present conflicts that have plagued the lives of humans, from one point on the globe to the next.

     I have made countless inquiries of you, my supposedly and errantly termed fellow humans for insight into why you people perpetuate the stupidities and inanities people repeat ad infinitum  I grow nauseated by this continuous and repetitious need by one person to control others by command through oppression, repression and depression. It becomes a conscious expressions of a human desire to eradicate themselves at any cost.

     What is it with people these days, worst than they were in the past, by minor degrees, while exceeding all expectation for misery inflicted on each other? "Live and let live," become a repetitive tenet churned out in countless messages amongst people; shared, copy & paste from facebook, to Twitter, Google+ and a host of competing so-called social networks doing their best to control how and what it is to be social.

     Who are they control junkies that seek to control ones digital internet lives with a plethora of rules and regulations contrived to give their clients a canard of security and privacy, which cannot exist as long as it is placed in the digital data-banks to which a number of programmers and administrators and who knows how many others have access to?

     The best bearer of ones security and one privacy is the individual who is prepared to keep that, which is private; private. Such was the case for my personal Google+ Account, which I was informed by some interred Google+ Team needed my actual and True First and Last Names to create some digital versions of a Real World connection. Are these people living in the real world or pretending to live in the real world, where identity theft has become the source of security contention and fodder for a supposedly humorous flick. If I wanted stranger to know who I was I will introduce myself to them in person and not in a digital world created to mimic or ape the real world. Until that day, if someone is looking for me; they search and find me thus: "Whispering Angel."

     I have been observing this trend to sell yourselves cheaply to the highest bidder; to share, sync and digitally splash yourselves across the World Wide Web via their handheld digital devices  So simple and easy it is to deprive any individual of their identity when the holder cares so little for it in the first place. None can deny how easy it is to keep their important information close at hand, while foregoing the reality of how easy it is for it to go astray, stolen, lost  and misplaced in a World rushing to be something that it is not.

   As the Freedom of Speech dwindles to becoming the Freedom of Anagrams, which alter by the user for individual purpose, which as I have stated will create further confusion in the coming future, bot near and distant. I observe the excess of life as a direct cause of the aforementioned need for speed and instant gratification.

     Mankind wants to get there in a hurry, where they are going they have no clue, but they really want to get there quick. Every digital gadget that can get them a few split seconds of extra time will be purchased at any price defined by the manufacturer as more and more the workmanship falters and fails.

     Thus I bring your attention to the Seven; the greatest and most deadly sins and errors of mankind observed centuries ago and growing worse with each passing year. I present to Mankind the one thing they need not copy & paste, because they are taught by every human to every offspring through inheritance.

Seven Deadly Sins:

Avarice: An excessive passion for acquiring or hoarding material wealth and riches.

Envy: An excessive desire to possess the materials and goods of others. 

Gluttony: The act or habit of eating to excess. 

Lust: Excessive sexual appetites, especially seeking immediate or ruthless satisfaction. 

Pride: An excessive and undue sense of one's own superiority, an inordinate self esteem, arrogance or conceit. 

Sloth: An excessive disinclination to exertion, habitual indolence and laziness. 


Wrath: Excessive, extreme or violent rage or fury, a vehement indignation.

These 7 have plagued the excessive lifestyles of Mankind since the dawn of their existence. Every human is guilty of at least one of these excesses, as they rush forth into an unknown future with enough ignorance to out last Mt. Everest.
