DAILY PROMPT
Frivolous
Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt.
There is an old saying that I quote, “What goes around comes around.” I have to believe that this holds true with the people’s intellect also. People of this world have gotten so highly educated they have started acting like uneducated fools. I just finished reading a long list of the most frivolous lawsuits on record. It is a reflection of our judicial system being used by lawyers of questionable character, to say the least. The lets make a deal courtroom will get a carnival atmosphere in time. Come right in, get your cash, have we got a lawsuit for you!

This would be a humorous read if it wasn’t for the fact that it is true. These lawsuits depict a population with deep moral problems. People with no real ethical objection to wrong acts. Far too many people are out trying to reap something that they have never sown. They want to get something for nothing. “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.” many never find contentment.
We should all look in the mirror every morning, take a good long look into that face. Ask, who is in there, are you happy? What do you stand for, what are you going to do today, is it going to be productive? If you’re not happy, why are you sad? You have to find happiness in your self and let it flourish and grow and then share it with other people. Look into those eyes, ask “do I love myself? You have to love yourself before you can love others. Lastly say, “I’m going to treat everyone I meet today, exactly the way I want to be treated.”
Hear, hear, Leland. Couldn’t agree more.

I don’t think I had any relatives that lived in Castlewood. I don’t know where it is, though. My Grandparents came from Hospers, Iowa, I believe. Well, my Grandmother did. My Grandfather emigrated from Friesland.

Truer words were never spoken. If more people, not only lawyers, had better principles and morals it would be a better world.
