What is the reason for perfection anyway? It is blasphemy!

Every one in this world wants perfection in everybody. However, we must love every creature which lives on this planet the way they are and help them along the way. Since every creature is different, there is so much to live up to and eventually make a breakthrough. We live on this planet because we must go through challenges in this world to become a person. There should be more love, patience, and consideration of others. Too many people in this world don’t want to help and encourage, they just want to tell anybody who is struggling “There’s a problem, let’s find a cure, and life will be better.” I don’t believe those people who believe this are being patient like they should.

An example of how impatient the world is; when any one goes out to drive their car in the morning after a snowy night, people tend to feel the need to leave right away without taking care of their car. Unfortunately, when cars are on the road, the snow/ice on top of the car causes much aggravation for the other drivers. What a shame this world we live in! People who want to achieve anything from small to big successes, have to be tormented by impatient people. There is no reason for anybody to not give them the right to go through challenges in life like anybody else. I know the challenges some people go through are harder than others, but this is why they call it a struggle. I struggled a lot in my life. Sometimes we need other people to help us a long the way. Actually, we need many people to help us a long the way like I had.

I really don’t get it, how can any body want a perfect world without struggles and triumph. Some individuals with Autism may seem like they need more help than others and I know it may seem frustrating at times to know what to do, but we must all put our heads together and use our minds to figure out the answer. The more we use our minds, the more we figure out it was not as hard as it seemed to be.

I know I seem upset at the moment because I think the people who are not struggling as much should care more about other people’s individual differences. Every one can do something in this world which gives them pride. I think we need to all learn to be more adaptive and flexible knowing no body is perfect. Wouldn’t perfection be boring?

Think differently about your life by not escaping reality.

What’s in a miracle?!?!?

A miracle comes in different ways and different packages.  Something which is needed at the time to get us to think differently in the world.  We hope each miracle coming forth in to our life is a way to change the perspective which we have been focusing on up until the miracle happened.  A lack of faith and unity deserves a miracle.  Every time we turn our heads, faith happens.  Every time we watch for it, nothing happens.  Miracles happen because the eternal heavens up in the universe want us to know they are still around.

A little bit of faith encourages everyone to be the best they can be. A miracle could happen again sometime where more people will realize the real potentials anybody has inside ready to show the world. No body in the right mind can talk for somebody else. Everybody has a voice whether they can talk freely with their mouth, write, draw, type, play, orchestrate, or by any other means show people what they have in mind. We must all be patient with our lives and with other people.

I read a one line title in the New York Times today entitled, Poll finds;Faith in Obama, mixed with patience. Slowly and slowly more people are becoming patient. This is an incredible breakthrough in human nature. It is human nature to be impatient and greedy, but the fact people are fighting their way to live, brings hope for a better future.

Life is a journey 10,000 or more miles in the making and we just need to believe our lives can get better. First, we need to find unity amongst everybody. Second, we need to accept everybody for who they are. Third, we need to listen. Fourth, we need to help anybody who needs it. Fifth, we need to continue the strength to reveal our true selves unveiling all the masks which we have covered ourselves up with since childhood. Any experience from our past is the past and we need to move on to the next discovery in our life. I really love the book I am reading by Carl Rogers.

I believe Carl Rogers knows to become a person, we need to see ourselves as genuine. A miracle appeared in New York this week which was a way of faith guiding us in to the right direction. A direction forcing us to rethink and plan ahead to be the people who we really are when the United States was born. A new leader comes in to power, I believe this new leader will be the most genuine humble President of our times. I know Mr. Obama might be the President on Tuesday living in the Whitehouse in Washington D.C., and he will have the luxury of any other President, but I hope he shares the luxury since we are all human.

A human being who becomes a dignitary of a great nation of so far and wide in the world takes on great responsibility, leadership, and challenges to make difficult decisions. I just feel his leadership will be the precursor to something better. I enjoy the world stopping for a moment to see the miracles in our lives right now. It shows the unity the world sparks up in a instant moment of flash. The comic hero Flash is the fastest man on Earth who helped fight evil in his stories, the same goes for miracles when we try and fight our way through tough times.

Don’t expect too much or else you will find nothing more will happen. Learn the easy way. I know and I am sure we all have learned the hard way too many times.

My explanation to life by using quotes I found

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.

Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.

Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961)

Stems from Bullies in this world

The stems from bullies in this world come from the insecurities many people have. People tend to bully because they don’t know what else to do with themselves. Many people who are Autistic like myself have been victimized too many times by bullies even today. It is a constant battle for me to conquer over a bully. I have been wondering where bullies stem from and came up with a theory of what a bully can be thinking in their mind. May be some of the stems from bullies in this world could be how a bully can not accept certain things in their life while at the same time not having the security to unmask their true self. An individual who becomes a bully does so because other people in their life most likely a parent or guardian hurt them. The hurt creates anger and more pain to spread to other people.

This negative energy develops the pain in everybody. Unfortunately, this is a normal human reaction to feeling pain. I wonder where the first pain from the first bully developed. Could it be from being in a war? or, Could it be from seeing violence in some other way? and What is the difference between war and violence anywhere? We need to teach as early as we can the positive euphoric nature in which a person can always feel. The people who have grown up and felt the pain from negative experiences in their life need to find an outlet to talk to someone who can help them deal with the pain constructively. This way the pain does not move from person to person.

We need to all think twice about how we interact with a person who we meet or know for quite some time. A simple word can cause catastrophic consequences. At the same time, the few who are strongest need to ignore the simple word (s) that a person tells them to continue doing good things in this world. Negative energy and talk like even a sneer or a way of expressing yourself in a jealous manner by putting emphasis on a certain word can be destructive to any one. Jealousy goes a long way. I have learned this is human nature and may be jealousy is the stems to bullying, but I do not know for sure since there are many factors to bullies.

Anything is possible

by Jason Ross

Somewhere out there,
Somewhere we are free,
Somewhere there’s a place just for you and me.
We come out to show ourselves
in seeking what life brings as
the prime reason for living, happiness.
I know as we go away
to separate places; things will be lost,
you’ll make new friends and live new lives
and have justice for all.
May be the reason to live
is because we must first
experience to make our soul
better. Life is precious and cannot
be taken for granted; know your
limit, but still experience.
When your with your family,
you are dependent, when
your with yourself, you are
independent.
Even though you are
gone the life that was given
will live on.
That is what life stands for,
the interdependency of life.
Now is your chance to really
make the life you want. Find a
career, Find a person to help
you through the ways.
Do your experiences
before your old and gray
with grandpa or grandma to
be looked up to. High School
brought me bad luck,
Israel brought me the first
time to realize; “Friends are Life.”
Communication makes love, and
there is a star in every soul in every
being in this world. Now go,
Go and live that Big ‘Ol’ life of yours, because…

prose and poetry I think you would I enjoy of what I wrote

A prose about how I feel:

Flag resemblance of me

by JSR

Situated in my room
at night, I find it dark
and quiet.
I boost myself up suddenly
realizing I need to do something.
Feeling my life is not over,
feeling a sense I need more,
more to do, more to achieve,
more to succeed, more to
get off my chest.
People may not understand
everything I’ve been through
since I’ve been through a lot.
Take the flag resembling you
and wave it with pride;
a unique flag symbolizing
your hope for the future.
I took out my flag
spread it out and
waved it a few times
symbolizing the joy
everybody will have one day once again.

Poem now:

Coming of age in a Still night,
by JSR

I sit and wait
and wait
and wait,
waiting,
abruptly I rise up.
It goes further through me
till the second when I collapse.
I feel the pain like a knife shooting
straight through my heart.
I don’t know what to do,
a man with a knife
just went and twisted it
in to my heart.
He ran away laughing
He ran way past the authorities
giggling with glee.
I lay on the ground wondering
what to say except lift my hands for help.
no body is around and now I am fading fast
with eyes falling till they shut completely.
I begin traveling through a bright aurora
further in to the light  until I see the end.
I reach the end of the light and see many people
gathered by my side.
Am I dead or am I alive.
I felt dead. I see people I know to be alive
and wonder if I am dreaming or was I imagined before.
People see me in front of a room
with dozens of people at a time.
I feel a presence like no other.
I feel my mind, body, and spirit lifted
once again.
Everybody shouts with an heroic “Whoopee!”
I see a woman I can’t even recognize
she runs up to me with a big hug and smothering kiss.
I am still feeling like a sack of potatoes.
What goes up, must come down, I think.
The people around me cheering for joy
thank me and shout out, “Congratulations!”
I don’t know what is going on still.
Then, I see someone else in the room
and the room goes silent,
everything is gray with no body around.
I begin talking to this person in a gray setting.
He tells me “this is your party for the
good deed you performed.”
The light comes back and he no longer around.
I see many faces I recognize while others are
faces of people just so happy with joy
like no other gaiety in the world.
Now I begin to wake up and I hear
the bells and noises of a wing in a room
at a hospital. My pulse going and going,
my bandage near my chest.
The man who tried to kill me
apparently never did.
I wake up once again in my bed at
home.  It was all a dream.
I go out and realize that day
I was not really stabbed in the heart.
It just was as real as anything else.
It felt hurt and I got very angry all of a sudden.
Not until a person comes up to me saying
“you are the gift.”
I ask “what are you talking about?”
she says “people are the gifts of life
and you are the only one who
realizes it.”
I felt very annoyed, and left.
the true inner self of life I thought is:
We should all realize this gift.
The gift of life.  The gift of
ourselves being a fiery
force in to the wind
stopping at nothing to gain our aim
to finish what we started:
A life to make a world of difference
A life where we invent, create,
or help in any way we can.
Think of this and fly away…
The End.

I hope you enjoyed my prose and poetry….

Support this plan…

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America. It’s called “Ideas for Change in America.”

here it is…

One idea is titled: Fully Fund Medicaid Waivers for the Developmentally Disabled. You can read more and vote for the idea by clicking the following link:
The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration. So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.

I look forward to all the input in people helping out as much as they can.

There is no shame in anybody

There should be no shame in anybody and to be ashamed of somebody who is different because the family is ashamed of the person who is different, is like people who don’t trust and accept those who are different.  The Jett Travolta case is one example of a family which could have possibly been not accepting of somebody who was different.  People are different for a reason. Every body has their unique talents which are given to them to contribute to the world.

The uniqueness in people show there is no standard in the world.  If there were a standard, then the standardized testing would be accurate.  Standardized testing unfortunately is not accurate because it is limited to a select few who do very well. It is not anticipated on the levels of intelligence people do have.  It does not apply to a level of anxiety which develops when people take a section of the standardized test which is highly stressful.  However,  I don’t know what the answer is to really determine intelligence.

Intelligence is actually a growing development over time.  We all have a set intelligence when we are growing up as babies and children, but the intelligence which grows more and more over time is what really counts.  For instance, we can not be told we are brilliant at birth, then all of our life have no willingness to learn.  Even if you are considered brilliant, you must always strive for more learning.   There is no limit to intelligence and just because somebody may lack intelligence at first does not mean they can’t become brilliant and always be willing to learn.

The Jett Travolta case is very interesting and shows that people try to cover up what they don’t want to be seen. Autism is something of great value to this world far greater than anything else.  Every body who is not accepting these differences needs to accept these differences to help weaknesses the person may have to become a person just like anybody else with their talents.  Sometimes it takes a whole lifetime to work on weaknesses, as long as we just try to work on the weaknesses, everything will progress.

What is good progress anyway?  Good progress is gradual.  Remember when things happen rapidly,  it falls rapidly.  Does brilliance really exist anyway?  If it did, we would have all the answers.  There are always more questions to be answered.  We must always remember to question and learn. 

Take it easy and have a nice day,

Dreams COME true

Dreams.  My dreams at night seem very light and dark depending on the time I sleep.  My dreams seem to always flucutate between a good dream and a bad dream depending on the day I had.  They say if you go to sleep with a positive sense of mind, you dream all good.  It is in my intention to know the dreams I dream have been split lately. A negative dream becomes a nightmare of something I am  very vulnerable to.  A positive dream is very euphoric and something which could possibly happen.  I am fulfilling my dream of being in the Medical field and I will achieve even more.  I will continue to prosper in my cherished Ultrasound community by working hard at helping patients.  Someday I will be known as technologist of a lifetime like we all want to become and do become.  George is a Technologist of a Lifetime.  Fate is something we can control in bits and pieces because of our destiny, but some parts of fate we can not control like in regards to physical health.  We must always remain calm.

I feel calmer now then I was earlier in the evening.

Write down your dreams on paper and know the dreams you have will come true in time with hard work.

Don’t chase the spotlight because you have a dream, just follow your dreams and work hard, everything else is to follow…

We all are the humble people deep down inside of us and must remain this way.

A picture from New Years 2009 just as the second struck

The Definition of Virtue

Aristotle once said “Virtue…is a state of character concerned with choice, lying in a mean, i.e, the mean relative to us, this being determined by a rational principle, and by that principle by which the man of practical wisdom would determine it….is best and right an extreme.” This quote is written from Aristotle’s book II.  It is a mere essence of our desires to show virtue in what comes from patience. What would Aristotle define Patience as?  Well, the Unabridged Webster’s Dictionary defines patience by saying an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay.  By saying Patience is a Virtue we are saying that it is by far an extreme right we all should develop.  Many people lack patience and want things to happen right away which is why many other people who do believe in a Cure for Autism believe it since I believe these people lack much patience in the world.   Even the people only seeking causes for Autism lack patience.  Autism is around for a reason and always has been around.  The 20 and 21 Centuries brought about lack of patience in the world.  Many people just want everything done right away. Whatever happened to the good old days of the 1800′s or even before then when people strive for teaching and allowing people on the Autism Spectrum who were very smart to become great inventors, idealists, painters, musicians, etc.  These people should be seen as role models.  I know it is very hard to diagnose dead people with an Autism Spectrum, but this is a known fact Autism is an important factor in the this world to bring Goodness in to the world.  Forget about some of the negative and just think about the children with Autism, Adults with Autism, and even seniors who have Autism right now who can make this world a better place to live.  I strongly agree with Temple Grandin in her book Animals in Translation.  People don’t want to know this, but I feel also animals and Autistics are very similar in the mind.   Many animals and for that matter all living organisms are vital in this world for the world to live.  Neurotypical people which is the majority of the world neglect many living organisms.   The neglect shows because of the  negative destructive wars and anger in this world. No body should neglect any living organism not even the cells in our own human body. We are all precious living creatures.

The recent fighting all over the war has been disgusting and appalling to see and hear about. The economic mess has been appalling to even hear of the impatience and greed in this world. It all boils down to virtue and some people just lack virtue. It is an honor for a person to even have virtue these days since so many people lack it. Greed and impatience brings down a person who is on the Autism Spectrum because then we feel like no body cares of our existence. I am very thankful to have my mother who has the most virtue and patience a person can have. My mother is one of the rare people in this world I can call a true person.

I think it is because Carl Rogers is right. Thank you mom for being the person the world should look up to. I know you are not perfect, but at least there are things in this world many other people can recognize and honor in you.

I know it is early, so I will wrap this up in a moment and definitely post later on.

Take it easy and be patient,

one more thought about Mill and Rogers….

I think they say both that everyone has freedom, and the willingness to choose to become a person by not allowing others to help mask your true self. Every one has masks which society gives every one, but we need to unmask and unleash our true self to become a person and have the freedom of our individualism. It is like I can take two thoughts and condense into one

The unique wisdom an individual has to become a person

I have been reading “On Becoming A Person” by Carl Rogers and Re-reading John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty” often these days. As I sit before my desk thinking of the new year, thinking about the surgery I just had, and thinking about my great life I am going to have, I realize the differences we all have in our goals. No body in this world is the same, but every body needs to show their individuality which makes them unique amongst anybody else. Especially Individuals who are Autistic (Asperger’s or Autism). I am a person with unique inspiring talents to bring vision just like anybody else.  A world of connectivity, a world with a great network of people to spread our minds out further than what we do  right now. Right now we only use 10 % of our minds, we need to use more!

Connecting our brain waves to an utterly clean waveform of living in this world. A mind with waveforms which are never ending in the spectrum of learning. Talk to every single person in your neighborhood wherever you live, wherever you go in this world to communicate the  perception that individuals  in this world including people who are Autistic  become a person like anybody else  eventually.  Whether Neurotypical or Autistic we are in the end all trying to become a person.   Some more slowly than others, but in the end we all become a person.

It is said by Carl Rogers  On Becoming A Person, in What it means to become a person, page 122, Rogers states,

“to recognize that ‘I am the one who chooses’ and ‘I am the one who determines the value of an experience for me’ is both an invigorating and a frightening realization.”

I feel this is an inspiring quote from this mighty book by Carl Rogers because it makes everybody realize we ALL are choosers for ourselves. People who are on the Autism Spectrum like myself may need help getting there a bit more, but eventually we  get there just like individuals who are considered Neurotypicals.  It may seem like we are hopeless at first, but that is only your perception of something on the outside. There is deeper wisdom inside of People on the Autism Spectrum that can do inventions and great things the world is waiting to see.

In another quote I found by John Stuart Mill’s  “On Liberty,” Of thought and discussion chapter page 19,  Mill states,

“Because he has felt that the only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion,…No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.”

This quote says many things.  In my opinion,  John Stuart Mill is telling every one to listen to every human voice in this world, every breathing human being because every one’s uniqueness rises and flourishes in the end.  Mine is just beginning.

I feel Mill and Rogers views are connected in some way.  I feel by connecting every thought or idea people have, you get great invention.

Take it easy and think about this… more to come on this topic…
