Live well ..... part 1

 ***   It is far better to express and stick with the truth in your life than to live a demoralizing existence based upon falsehoods and lies.

***;  "People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be - not what you nag them to be." - Scudder N. Parker

=====================================

Many people tend to have a very limited world view...  
They only seem think about what ever is theirs and seek to be possessive and controlling in their existence. i.e. they are driven by selfishness and greed.
**  This has become a major life role for many today.

With the vast amount stuff and mass transportation systems in the modern industrialized world - there is  far more things  available per person than anytime in history!
 Then with the mass media advertising and many of the social outlets - Stuff is everywhere.

But is all this stuff really needed?

Do most people really have a true need for most of what they have gotten?

This is where the truth comes into play, if we were to look at the world with a honest gaze - we would see that much of the stuff is not really needed!
This is where many people live continuing to chase the false illusion of wants and unnecessary needs.
 Why?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

While desire has been written into our souls, by Almighty God; there is a great disparity between what is wanted (desired) and what is actually needed!
 Here is where the truth must prevail and dominate our thinking.

Because once you just fall into the  " got to have that "  way of the world - you have been sucked into the trap of personal desires driven by greed in place of real honest need! 
 This where the controlling elements of both governments and advertising - (sales) bend your ear to buy their stuff!

Instead of taking the short sighted way of the modern world - we must come to develop a much broader view. Which gives us a much better perspective, so that we can discern the true way of things.  I have learned to use this in my life from being an electrical engineer.

This first came to my attention while serving in the Navy, as a Weapons Control Technician - working on computers and the radars - sonars and various related weapon systems!
We were taught to look first at the overall system.
 Because in troubleshooting {Oh, I know the Liberals are having a fit over this troubleshooting word - too bad folks get over it} you must learn to localize the area of the problem.

Therefore we would start with an over view  and make a very good visual inspection looking at the entire system.  If there was no smoking gun {another Liberal hang up word}  it becomes a search or some further troubleshooting procedures to locate and eliminate the the problem.
Thus by taking a systematic overall view we could locate with corrective actions and repair as needed!

Otherwise our time would be spent chasing ghosts and false clues.  All of which wasted time and valuable resources - since on a ship at sea there were only limited parts available!
