Fools......

>>one of my favorite quotes
"Do not suffer fools gladly, or you may become one" >>

The world as we know it - full of conditions, labels, limits, illusions and delusions - is a fools paradice.

And this is the same world that takes whatever smells like the truth, looks like the truth and walks like the truth and calls it foolish!!

So that quote should be right up there at ONE (1) of the most favorite for the vast majority of folks in this world. For it comes from an attitude that is so prevalent everywhere.

I say send in the clowns!

I say send in the fools!

I say send in the lovers!

I say send in the singers!

I say send in all the realists who are all the real lovers of truth which is LOVE which is the essence of LIFE itself!!

So take that same quote and turn it upside down on it's head:

"Do not suffer fools gladly, or you may become one!!"

For this world of ours is choke full of fools who are all so self-possessed in their claims which are nothing more than illusions and delusions of what passes for being right and true. For the absolute truth is that there is nothing to claim!! And there is everything to freely and unconditionally receive, share and celebrate!!

You bet "I don't suffer fools gladly". For it's people like me drive these fools absolutely CRAZY!! For I don't suffer them gladly. I sing, dance and laugh and smile and have fun!!

It's time to LIVE X!!

It's time to LOVE X!!

Christos - X - The Unknown!!

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:14
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness" [ Job 5:13] ;

Psalm 14:1
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
