Tuesday March 30, 2021

Good morning everyone, today is Tuesday March 30, 2021. The weather is promising to be quite nice today. It is very early in the morning right now and as I am talking to you I am seeing a beautiful full moon shine in my window. The moon itself is an amazing thing to see as it brightens the night sky, if you believed in astrology it effects many things, the tides, moods, even birth of babies. I do believe in some of that, but mostly I enjoy watching it. One of the great beauties of life is to sit on a beach and watch a full moon play on the water. Today will be another day of Easter Preparations, the closer it gets the more I have to do. Today I will play Easter Bunny and get all the chocolate, a sparse Easter Badket is a sad thing. So I will hop around to get what I need so that won’t happen.

Now most of you by now realize I like to share memories and traditions with you. Most of them are enjoyable and get us to think and remember happier times. However, I am not Pollyanna and believed that all things were glad, and there is always something to remind me of that. In 1964 a young girl, Kitty Genovese, was walking home from work in New York when she was accosted by a man who stabbed her three times, she screamed for help , this took place at her apartment door, the attack took 30 minutes where he stabbed her several more times and raped her. 38 witnesses or bystanders watched and heard her screams for help and did nothing, it seems unfathonable doesn’t it but I remember that story very vividly I was 11 at the time. She died on the way to the hospital, it was such a sensation that ‘Bysander Syndrom’ is named for it. The event is also in many psychology books. That people stood by and did nothing. Last night on the news, I don’t know why I watch it, I do it for the weather, but something always gets me going. A yong Asian woman was walking down 43rd street when she was accosted by a man who threw her down and proceeded to stomp on her head and savagely kick her about the head and body. This was filmed by the security cameras of the building. The irony of it , it also caught the picture of the workers of the building and the doorman standing there watching this unfold at one point the doorman shut the door, none of them made a move to help this poor soul. What kind of human being can watch something like that happen and do nothing. Where are we in 1939 Berlin, are the nazis back in power terrorizing an entire nation? It goes to show that as a society we have learned nothing from history, again how can we learn from it if it is not taught any longer. Again as a society for the most part we are very much lacking in integrity, morals and self respect. This might sound chauvinistic but what kind of man stands by while a woman is being brutalized, to me that shows you have no self respect or dignity. We just seem to get lower and lower. I’m going out on a limb here but I feel the mayor of the great city of New York, a beloved place has failed the city and has allowed it to become lawless, filthy, unrefined. He has destroyed it and made it like a lawless frontier town. I don’t care how liberal you are rules must be in place and they must be followed you cannot just live and do as you please. We live in a society of all peoples and it is about time people start to realize that or we are doomed. This new thing attacking Asians, again it shows the ignorance of humanity blaming them for COVID. It’s an excuse to perpetrate hatred and racism on any level and to any people.

Now I have said quite a bit today, but it Gauls me to see some of the things going on. But I still will try to enjoy life that’s all we have ourselves to help change things and we do that within our own mind. So try to have a great day as I will also try. Talk soon Til Tomorrow!
