Blog Entry: I cleaned my house from top to bottom ALL day today. The only thing that I did not do is make my bed or touch the kids rooms. I cleaned my son’s room yesterday and it was unbelievable at what I found on the floor! Anyway, that is not the point of my blog! What a boring as hell blog that would be – right? To have nothing better to talk about except cleaning. I would fall asleep writing it and I fear that people would no longer read my blogs because I am a lot of things but BORING, I am not. I will not lie and say that I live in a huge mansion in the woods where there is no activity. I live in a city. Of course it is practically in the suburbs of the city but my neighborhood can be considered a “hood”. Ya know, criminal activity, people not getting along, and what not. Incidentally, last night there was an argument happening in the parking lot next to my house. I was a little apprehensive about it and kind of feared that someone was going to get REALLY hurt. Incidentally, someone did get hurt but I did not find that out until this morning.  I was going to call the police last night because they were loud and it seemed as if it was going to get REALLY violent and I do not want that sort of activity happening near my house! Well, now I know that if that type of activity is happening near or around my house, I cannot feel safe and WILL call the police. Anyway, this incident got me thinking about what happens when we, as human, get in to an argument. One of three things happens, flight, fight, or fornication. This is a proven fact. We, as humans, either fight with the person and not necessarily violently because some of us are civilized. Yet, we do fight a basic human function – the adrenaline gets rushing and we with fight or flight. That’s the response. Now, where does the fornication come in to play? Think of a time in which, you and your lover were arguing. Then after the argument is over, they call it make up sex. We want to fornicate like rabbits. That’s after the adrenaline rush happens and we have calmed down. I am rambling and I hope that I am getting my point across. We have basic human needs and basic human reactions to stress at the level of negative interaction with another person. We either leave the situation, fight like cats and dogs, or fornicate to our hearts content. This is not to say that two dudes beefing over something in a parking lot are going to choose to fornicate. I am talking about relationships; ya know, intimate relationships. I know the concept of fornication when in the midst of an argument doesn’t seem feasible but as I stated before make up sex happens. I know that this has happened in my life. Yet, how do we, as humans, evolve in to peaceful human beings. In the society of which, we live in there is a lot of room for arguments and violence. When will we evolve in to a society where everyone gets along and we can resolve issues by talking to each other about the situation and not allowing ourselves to become hot-tempered to the point of violence but honestly, this is a basic human response. Yikes, I can write about this over and over again. I truly believe that it is essential in our culturally diverse society, we need to learn how to interact with each other. Yet, prejudice and being unkind to each other happens. My question to you, kind reader, is how do you handle this culturally diverse society? Better yet, can you think of a time, in which, you were contented with the living situation you were in? My mind is not right today but basically what I am saying is get along with each other – do not judge   This blog was written on May 24. Thanks so much for reading!
