So the surgical team working on your husband six hours into
an arduous 8 hour operation, one of the elite surgeons says, 'It's five o'clock
Sunday, turn on the game!'
The most godly people on the planet, the true Jews, using
their bodies as human shields between the, our brothers and sisters all,
between the subhuman Nazi right-wing settlers in Israel, and their would-be
Palestinian farmer victims, 'has anybody got a soccerball? Let's go smoke some weed guys.'
Some heroic American soldiers shielding a family compound,
women and children, men, against the vicious Taliban attack in retribution for
sponsoring a girls school, 'hey guys, what's the concert this weekend at the
base?'
No friends, there are still serious people on earth doing
serious work for humanity and 50, 60, 70 years ago it was not as rare. Most of us have lost sight of it, but it
still is there to be seen. These people
are the greediest people alive for the joy of making a difference in the lives
of others. These are not hair-shirt
people. These are not quote self
sacrificial, they are the greediest among us, enlightened greedy. They understand the joy is of giving and
serving is infinitely superior to the addictive, intoxicating lust of taking,
exploiting, prostituting ourselves for trinkets.
They are too greedy to be distracted for a second. Zero distractions.
You want to play? Cool. I love you. You're my sister, go be on a different team
if you want to 'play.' Go away. You want to waste your life on silly stuff? I'm sorry, I'm not being derogatory. Consider it wasting your life, or using it,
you have the right. It's a tragedy. You have the right. But you don't
have the right to distract me.
You don't have the right to distract any of my time, so you need to make
a choice. These people are worth my
life, they're worth my attention, they're worth my undivided attention, no less
so than if I were a surgeon operating on their brain; so you have a choice -
you can step up to the level of focus of the team, or you can indulge your
interest in a flitting mind from subject to subject, and distractions; but you
can't have both friends. I'm sure, I am
near certain, I was born AD/HD.
Personally I've had to learn amazing focus so that I didn't go crazy and
wouldn't be totally worthless. And my
focus is superior now, to most, but not to those of us that have retained our
health which, by any other name our the potent activists, the insanely humane
warriors.
Those who love are those who are waging Unviolent war for
humanity. A key characteristic is
focus. They have a zero tolerance for
allowing themselves distractions, or allowing themselves to be distracted. Zero.
