Wow, you are a rare one among humans. Because it is you being of so few visiting the site here. And that is one of the reasons why I feel this blog site should discontinue. Do you like the picture above? It is a quick drawing of me. It was done in pencil. This should be my last posting and the site will stay up maybe for another month from now. Another reason for the cancellation is the Google ads. After I done three posting here questioning the rightfulness of homosexuality. Outside of my control the Google ad featured a link to a gay singles' match site, it is a real embarrassment! This might be a mistake by Google marketing department, but it was bad news for me a like awful stain. So with that punch in my gut it seems acceptable to close the doors on this blog site. Please feel free to regularly visit my other blog site, Curtis On The News!: http://curtisonthenews.blogspot.com The closing for this site is not a victory for gay advocates. One of the reasons why I do not support this lifestyle is because directly or indirectly this practice can lead to mental, physical degradation and possible loss of one's life. That is my viewpoint. I do not support smoking either for good reasons you are likely well aware of. Yet of both homosexuality and smoking I am not in the streets protesting against them. Therefore like devoted smokers or other, self abusers homosexuals would simply do themselves harm sooner or later. It was in regard for the human race which contributed to me writing those posts here below. This is also true of my postings about teenage pregnancy, violent video games, racism, alcohol abuse and other matters of real concern. False information has been a curse to mankind and can spread like a disease. Yet certainly understanding how truthful information may travel from one point to another. There would be other individuals whom would repeat or share what I expressed here. One of my thoughts was when doing a post here is that if one person out of all billions would benefit that would be a great accomplishment for me. So for example if I had helped a practicing homosexual considered if not decided to quit his lifestyle. This would be remarkable even if he or she was the only one of millions. If such a person was considering living a life as a successful heterosexual. He or she may become aware of additional information or resources which may be helpful. The same could be of other persons whom are working on overcoming other vices affecting their lives. And this would really be their victory, I can not change people, they would have to do so themselves by their own decisions based on the facts, true knowledge. Since this is my last posting I had avoided sharing my faith beforehand as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I will continue to hold back from doing so on Curtis On The News. But now here my wish as a last post to leave this last link to the official site of Jehovah's Witnesses. If you are seeking accurate knowledge of the Bible and want information on how to overcome problems affecting all mankind. Please feel free to visit here: http://watchtower.org Jehovah's Witnesses as a organization is not sponsoring/supporting this site and Curtis On The News. They have their own, official sites, non-profit for the public. Please accept my thanks for visiting this site even if you do not agree with all the information, videos, comments and viewpoints posted here.
Hello Visitors, This is a short film, 1999 Africa is a Planet, which one of my acting associates, Destiny Godley worked on. I am struggling to remember what project Ms. Godley and I had contributed together on. We may had been background extras on another, mysterious, indy, feature film we had not see yet or got a copy of the DVD. Please feel free to comment on this film if you wish. Destiny's web site is at here: http://www.destinygodley.com/index.htm
Before the New Year I stated here to be returning with part three of postings questioning the rightfulness of homosexuality. The third part would address some history about the increasing gay community whom are enjoying greater, public support. At this moment I am holding back on part three to focus on other, more important matters. I am surprise no one representing the gay community had yet to respond to the data presented in the second part. Which this to be acknowledged what appears to be lacking explanation from gay advocates to disprove what is clearly evident of their lifestyle, the serious moral, physical and emotional problems resulting from it.
These unhappy vices come as a cost to themselves and society as a whole. Nevertheless gay advocates had convinced many they have the right to engage in their relations even to the level of legal marriage. As more states of the United States approve same sex marriages as legal arrangements. I see this as part of a progressive, turn key opening the door to increased, social ills due to lowering morals, standards. For that part three I had noted perverse conduct being promoted by the homosexual community of the past and present. Time does not allow me right now to relate these historical, offensive details. People whom do not wish to be will be affected by the gay community's contribution to moral pollution. And it is sad to know this is coming. It's no joke.
Since I am holding back on part three there was an positive indicator in part two. It related information about former homosexuals living as contented heterosexuals. You may wish to review this information if you or someone you know may be having strong doubts of remaining a gay or lesbian person for life. If you want to overcome homosexuality or the disturbing feelings leading to it-please do not give up! I wish you all the finest resources and support for your successful conquest. In this regard I also wish to state an correction. I indicated that homosexuality was behavioral rather than an in born identity. This may not be true because this gay lifestyle is far too complex for such an simple answer. Yet what is important is how such an practice would affect you which my postings pointed out numerous pitfalls. Is it worth it for what could be lost or gained? That would be your decision and life to truthfully conclude on. I look forward to returning with some, positive expectations.

From http://www.commondreams.org: Iraqi Police 'Killed 14-Year Old Boy for Being Homosexual. Human rights groups have condemned the "barbaric" murder of a 14-year-old boy, who, according to witnesses, was shot on his doorstep by Iraqi police for the apparent crime of being gay. The killing of Ahmed Khalil is one of a series of alleged homophobic murders. There is mounting evidence that fundamentalists have infiltrated government security forces to commit homophobic murders while wearing police uniforms.-reported in May, 2005
Something I would not take part in, image from www.telegraph.co.uk
From Sunday Herald, Johannesburg, South Africa, December 28, 2008: Lesbian couple killed in execution-style murder. Hate crimes increase despite equal rights law. POST-APARTHEID SOUTH Africa has one of the world's most liberal constitutions. It is the only country in Africa - a continent where homosexuality is widely vilified - to enshrine equal rights for gays and lesbians and to recognise citizens' rights to enter same-sex marriages. But the constitutionally enshrined civil liberties of Soweto lesbian couple Sizakele Sigasa and Salome Masooa did not prevent their rape, torture and murder last week in an apparent execution-style homophobic attack.-written by Fred Bridgland.
Note to me: Don't even think about debating with this sort of person with wow, extreme, unreasonable views!
From Las Vegas Review-Journal via byline, Glenn Puitreview-Journal, February 06, 2002: Suspect says he killed in rage. A murder suspect testified Tuesday that he beat his victim to death because of an unwanted sexual advance. "I'm a heterosexual man," slaying suspect Gregory Amato said. "Things like that are very disgusting to me."
From NY Times, January 04, 2003: Gay Focus At Holocaust Museum. They were called the ''175ers'' homosexuals that the Nazis arrested, beat, used as prison labor and sometimes castrated. Charges were brought under Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code, which outlawed ''unnatural indecency'' between men, starting in 1871. The Nazis broadened the statute to make ''simple looking'' and ''simple touching'' reasons for tracking and rounding up gay men….While tens of thousands were incarcerated and an unknown number killed, few homosexuals told their stories then -- or later.- written by Elizabeth Olsen
The news items above reflect extreme hostility toward the gay community. The photo here to the left is of two, teen age men being recently hanged in Iran. Homosexuality is punishable by death in this middle east country. If you read part one of this discussion you likely concluded I am not a supporter for gay rights. Yet would someone like me approve the bias attacks against homosexuals-NO. Please bear in mind many of my friends and I do not support bias attacks against the gay community or anyone else. We do not clap our hands or do high fives or dance in the streets when hearing of any crimes against homosexuals. Even if we do find offensive such immoral practices. We do not use religion or politics or social issues as a front for harassing individuals and groups. There are vital reasons why we do not do such things or endorse them.
One of those reasons is as the title above conveys, wronging a wrong does not improve matters. Of course there must be others who feel same-like in regarding the gay community. Gay advocates may easily sensed whoever speaking against their group and might then expressed bias against them. Bias is a strong accusation against another in a modern world where human rights had progressed enough to allow for a black man to be elected President of United States. One have to wonder if gay advocates can make the distinction, separation between persons committing bias attacks against them and those non-supportive of their lifestyle without bias. Can they see that there may be individuals who had observed the high, health risks and moral decay of this alternative lifestyle. Could they strive to understand how non-gays may had truthfully concluded that homosexuality could have damaging effects upon a person or family and society as a whole?
It is true civil rights had not been fully accomplished for all peoples. A middle aged, black woman responded when questioned by me if minorities finally achieved civil rights after Mr. Obama won the election. She repeated her answer for me to observe who is “still running the house”. We acknowledged many African-Americans still live in poverty and have unfavorable struggles in life. Certainly such hardships are being experienced by other, ethnic groups. Yet one of the major platforms used by the gay community is their lack of equal rights. For one example is of gay couples not having the same legal standing as heterosexual, married couples of any race. But what legal rights are gay people being prevented from having as citizens?

Well, can we agree the majority are not mistreating homosexuals as less than human. Or else we would hear of it in the news more often. It is true we heard of individuals and groups expressed outright disapproval of the lifestyle of homosexuals. There are websites, published books and organizations formed against gay people. But overall their rights as citizens, as taxpayers for the most part remain intact-at leash in the United States. Are their driving licenses being revoked or are they prevented from seeking state aid because of their sexual practices? Is it not true homosexuals can apply for varied employment, purchase homes, obtain medical care, seek higher education and start their own businesses? They also get to publish their own gay targeted journals and books. There are also television programs and movies featuring gay people in a not so negative manner. If I am correct gay people have their own radio stations and television networks. To add to their advantage politicans such as New York City Mayor, Micheal Bloomberg and Mr. Obama himself openly expressed their support.
According to the Gallup Poll this graph reveals how public opinion has grown in support of marriage for same-sex couples over the years. What is your opinion on this issue?
In fact we seen an increase of support for the homosexual lifestyle from the public sections of religion, government and by the media. This backing may also come from family members. Do we not hear of accounts of parents who without question testify their love for their homosexual son or daughter? I do not want to express anything here to negatively affect that bond. In these tough times family members need each other more than ever. I feel parents are in the right to allow their adult children to decide on the lifestyle they wish to pursue. To let them exercise their own free will. That is proof of their parental love. Yet should this allowance be a support for homosexuality itself? It is possible for parental love to be demonstrated without condoning a wrongdoing.
For example a father may have decided not to attend his son’s wedding with his life partner. He may also conclude not to accept that marriage arrangement out of principal. Yet the same father would rush to the hospital with his wife after hearing his son was injured in a car accident. Would that dad be unreasonable toward his son’s lifestyle? Let’s consider another point that father would not have to right a wrong. Parents have special reason to be especially hurt of their children’s alternative life. This is true if heterosexual couples actually planned to start a family of their own. I was told children are an inheritance from God.
What kinds of adult life parents don't intentionally nurture their young ones toward? top image from www.keyboardforkids.com, bottom image from www.theblackmagazine.com
Could you actually tell me or count with your fingers how many of them? Thus of those married, heterosexual couples you know of whom had bear children with the direct intention they will grow up to be gay? I am not talking about the parents who had regretfully acknowledged their children’s lifestyle. Had it been parents’ positive expectations that their children will one day become gay? Further it is even hard to imagine parents training their children to be prepare for a gay lifestyle. Mothers may teach their daughters house hold skills, cooking, sewing and so on. A father may teach his son how to catch a baseball , repair machinery, to tie a tie, etc. Men would instruct their sons in guy things. Women guide their daughters in learning female things. It might be far-fetched too for moms and dads to instruct their children in transgender activities opposite their gender.
image from ancestry.com
How more often parents aspired their son marry a good woman when he grows up than for another man? How frequent do parents entertain dreams of their daughters cohabiting with another woman than with a responsible husband? Gay adults may wish to consider the internal pain, great disappointment they may be causing to their parents, other relatives by insisting they support their alternative lifestyle. It might not surprise us that those parents acknowledging their children’s homosexuality may at times bewailed, broke out in in tears and angst in their sleep overnight.
Gay people may love their parents, how wonderful of them to do so. How are they are regarding their parents' normal desires for bringing them in world in the first place? Might it be unfair, heartless to consider it foolish for parents to have those normal expectations while rising their children. How the more so we knowing parenting often requires hard work, dedication, patience, many sacrifices and endless love for at leash 19 years or more. Considering this intimate, sensitive area alone how can homosexuality could be made right from being a wrong course of life? It is sad against the parents’ interests that the world is increasing its’ support for homosexuality. Now it is okay for girls to kiss girls in public schools and boys to hold hands in dating one another!
Quality of sex education vary by teacher, where do you see a teaching gap?, image from http://www.guttmacher.org
Would you say this is human society advancing in tolerance? I see it as a major step backwards of society morals degrading. Such a on-going degradation could have future, damaging effects among our populations. For example sicknesses or ailments associated with homosexuality may increase to alarming levels. Do the world need more sick people for the sake of ‘equal’ rights?Youths are warned of the dangers of smoking and illegal drugs. Older ones may had instructed them about how unsafe drinking and driving is. Yet how often are they cautioned against the health and psychological problems and complications of homosexuality?
If human society is going to promote tolerance for this lifestyle. Then why not start getting out the warning labels, educating the public about it’s dark, unhealthy and unhappy elements? Not just of the well-known, monstrous AIDS disease, should not boys be told of bowel pathogens and trauma connected to gay sex? Why should not girls be informed of sexually transmitted conditions as so venereal diseases also associated with homosexuality? I do not know how much or little schools are teaching these facts of life. Please comment below if you know so. If this so not so what an major update to sex education in schools this should be. Providing such practical knowledge might certainly be better than passing out condoms in the classrooms. Please understand this my recommendation is that parents and guardians take the leading role in educating their children. Before doing so it is advisable parents get the facts right, do their homework before communicating with their young ones.
Young people are deserving of such truths from caring adults and insitutions. Therefore if such disturbing temptations develops within them they have good, sound reasons to fight against these. This might be so rather for them to be told homosexual desires are normal and to give in to them. Like of smoking cigarettes youths may say, I don’t want to get lung cancer. Could it be likewise their statements against the troubles of homosexuality? If youths are truthfully educated, informed in advance. One of the great pleasures of aiding young persons is seeing them make important, positive decisions on their own. Many adults may agree of the necessity of youths building within them a greater sense of responsibility and self-respect to do what is right. They may later return to thank those-or you for offering such guidance and support years beforehand. If you noted too when we resist wrong things we may better ourselves for the long run. Our sense of doing what is right may become stronger helping us to avoid other foul vices and bad decisions.
Gay advocates had stated homosexuals are what they are, this is what inside them. They may stated this is their life destination- accept it! Is it what they are or what they want to be? There is conclusive evidence that it is lifestyle they selected, not a genetic factor. Science as we know so far has not proven people are born gay. Yet professional sociologists and psychologists can prove more so how a person can adopt a gay lifestyle. It is a behavior which can be learned and practiced. If that is so it is also a behavior that can be unlearned and not practiced any longer. How could this be so of long-time homosexuals? Let us direct attention to an ignored nightmare of gay advocates. This regards persons whom abandoned them-former homosexuals. You might note them in a simple, internet search. If you do this on Google or Yahoo search engine you will find many, former homosexuals associated with Christendom religion or are born again. For example a professed christian, Anthony Falzarano wrote a best-selling book which exposes the deceptions of the gay lifestyle. I did not read his book.
However I am not writing here in support of their choice of worship. Nevertheless it is possible to see they had made a significant, behavioral adjustment any practicing homosexual could do so if wished for. We may see too they made this change by choice, of their own free will indicating homosexuality is a widespread behavior, certainly not a race or ethnic group. How could such a change occur if homosexuality was in born identity of a human being? In addition how could someone willingly abandoned a lifestyle if they consciously did not find anything wrong with it? There must had been more important objectives for them than to live as a homosexual. One of them could be restoring damaged relationships with family and friends. You must had heard of stories of sincere individuals making difficult, painful sacrifices in keeping vital relationships alive.
A Danish couple in 1909, how might we exist today if our great grandparents did not have children or became lifetime homosexuals?
Part one of this discussion had finished off conveying there is a high price for the freedom homosexuals are maintaining. We noted one, significant cost above-the damage to the human family. There is the immediate family and the global family being affected. How is this so? It is easy to see when you consider how dependent the gay community is upon the heterosexual community. In fact the survival of homosexuals relies upon many heterosexuals remaining heterosexuals. Think about it-there is a higher population of gay people today due to widespread approval. What if that same, growing population existed 100 years ago? Feel free to correct me, but I know there would be less than six billion people living on earth today. Reproductive science would not been developed to help the human population to continue. And we know in 1909 men with men and women with women could not bear children as couples. It also can be true that many of us might not be around today. I can say for myself that if my parents were not born or did not meet each other. I would not be here. Because I am a product of them. I would not be born elsewhere in China or from another couple in the Swiss Alps. That is why abortion could be considered a serious wrong. Each fetus aborted is an unique person with a personality. If they are killed-they will not come up anywhere else-those are the facts, feel free to disprove it. Unless if it is his will God brings them back. Therefore from a historical, biological point of view homosexuals have to acknowledge credit to both the past and present heterosexuals for their living today. How can be so of the present?
Currently homosexuals are looking to the heterosexual part of government to grant them legal status for their gay marriages and other, equal rights. If everyone practice homosexuality today would there be a debate about gay rights? In many areas of society existing heterosexuals conduct services and produce products and essentials the gay community depend upon today. One of those vital areas is the medical field. The cost of time and money of treating a homosexual with a dreadful, gay-related disease like Gonorrhea could be staggering. Yet it would be a real health crisis if one too many doctors practiced gay sex earning this disease and limiting their abilities to aid others. You might know of other reasons why it might be important for heterosexuals to remain heterosexuals for today’s gay community. If you know of those reasons. Could it be considered fair of individuals to insist they continue their same sex relations while depending on others to stay straight for the sake of humanity? In addition it has been recognized that homosexuals change partners more often than heterosexuals upward toward 1,000 lovers per lifetime. Consider the numbers here.- http://www.home60515.com/6.html If this is true, a middle age woman (45) starting from teenage years would have an average of 30 partners per year if she had 900 lovers in her lifetime. Where do the extra ‘girlfriends’ come from? From heterosexual couples years before whom had purposely raised their daughters to marry men one day. There are more than a few May-December relationships among homosexuals. Older homosexuals had harvested from a younger crop of people, often advancing budding individuals into their lifestyle.

This may be affecting the prospects of many hetrosexuals seeking lifetime partners themselves. Is it not true for every man who adapt a gay lifestyle there is less one candidate for a marriage minded woman. Quite a unbalance, there had been more single women than single men. Where I live in Suffolk county, New York there is a ratio of 85 single men to each 100 single women according to the 2000 US Census. That comparison would differ if more men become gay. To be fair in other areas like in Crowley county, Colorado there are more single men than women. However the comparison here too is affected if more women in those areas become gay. It gets worse than that-marriages and family life had been broken up among hetrosexual couples due to one spouse switching to a gay lifestyle. Consider the experience of what one ex-wife shared in the UK journal, Daily Record entitled, My husband left me for his gay lover, June 11, 2008. "I was married for nearly 10 years until my husband left me for another man. We did manage to have two children, which was what kept the marriage going because my husband loved being a dad…I found out he was gay when I discovered he was visiting gay sites and looking at gay porn on the computer… He moved out to live with his boyfriend, which was very upsetting for the children, aged eight and four." What an painful desertion from family life, did you think his boyfriend was deeply concern about his immediate household?
What that UK mother experienced in the prior paragraph above is one indication of the destruction of homosexuality. The damage had been continuing but what have the gay community been doing about it? Here is another area where the hetrosexual section is footing the bill for cost of homosexual activities. Non-gay people had spoke out against and taken action against their own when wrong is committed. There are nearly countless examples month to month. Yet the gay community appear to be silent when their own, very bad apples wreak havoc. It is no secret that some child molesters stalk out victims of their own gender to the point of kidnapping and murdering them. There is the North American Men/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) which promotes illegal relationships between adults and children. This association established during the 1970’s no longer exists. Yet under criticism by other, gay groups, the NAMBLA was supported by a major, homosexual organization, the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA). In 1985 the ILGA passed a resolution which stated that "young people have the right to sexual and social self-determination and that age of consent laws often operate to oppress and not to protect." The ILGA later withdrawn its’ backing for NAMBLA and two, other gay groups in 1994. Would it surprise you that the United Nations granted ILGA special status in 2006? Gay groups and organizations turned against NAMBLA because it promoted pedophilia which non-gays already noticed. Still have you heard leading homosexuals speaking out recently against such sex crimes against children by its’ own members? I wrote a lot here for folks to reflect on. Homosexuality have a long history. Would such a past merit this lifestyle the recognition gay supporters want? This question will be included in part three of my discussion.
Murdered for Being Gay: Kids are coming out younger and are paying the price for it-biting realities of life, complexed, troubling feelings and disapprovals are not sweet, from Newsweek magazine, http://www.newsweek.com/id/147790
Bright colors misused, the official flag of...well, you know who, image from www.personalmoneystore.com
Recently I was in the waiting area in television studio as one of the background actors. Between film shoots and or scene staging you will be waiting for your next turn or scene to participate in. Reading consumes the time of me of having a copy of AM New York newspaper. Here is something interesting on page two, a little yellow box with text in it. This refers to a decision made by a news-attention group to skip a day of employment at their jobs. In order for them-homosexuals- to demonstrate to the public how important they are.
Over the years there was a repeated counsel coming from wise ones to help protect myself and others from being badly influenced by worldly or dangerous vices. This involves this group whom wishes to be regarded as special in obtaining their ‘civil’ rights. This advice if you wish to heed also is for us not only to avoid unmarried sex or unclean practices. In a mighty obligation to avoid spiritual contamination we were also admonished to avoid detailed discussions of such things as fornication. To add more we realized joking about these matters is distasteful.
Therefore it is not my intention to remind people of what unclean or abnormal practices constituting homosexuality. My acknowledgement those details bother me greatly. In addition from a child’s viewpoint I personally feel it is an injustice for young ones to be adopted by homosexual couples. Because the child is living in their households knowing these persons are having relations while understanding his birth resulted from the reproductive cells of both a male and female. Even if a child is placed in such circumstances where they are inclined to accept and support it, it is very unfair to them. Daily these young persons could get unpleasant reminders of their ‘parents’ non-normal relationship. Bear in mind too those who developed the science of test tube births had to first themselves exist by the natural process of human reproduction.
Homosexual couples were given legal rights to adopt or have children via science. The children of those couples may often not be given choice of this arrangement. If a child is given permission to freely express his disapproval. Would the lead parent honor his feelings? And not force the child to accept an arrangement that could be adversely affecting his or her conscience? Yes I am wondering if the gay mother or father love their children enough to then forsake their homosexual lifestyle. What a lifetime story that would be for television movie. Rather than for me to go any further into that matter let’s consider the gay peoples’ decision not to work on December 10Th.
Could we for a moment suppose this group is doing the right thing? Well if that would be so then other groups and organizations can do the same, right? Currently there are actual, ethnic groups whose civil rights had been in question of fulfillment for many years-decades. Yet if we examine history of those of Latin Americans, African Americans, so many of the physical disability and limited, intellectual capacity, etc. We might find a countless number of them are contributing to society. However their rights are not fully accomplished. Often there was no other choice, these people had to survive, support their families. Therefore these peoples have shown their value as human beings worthy of the consideration of anyone else. For example African Americans are excelling in literally every field of occupation. There is now one individual whom many believe is qualified to be President of the United States.
image from i.dailymail.co.uk
Women rights had increased over the decades while they still labored in occupations and raised their families. We also learned of people of limited abilities. They with physical and mental disabilities had been able enough to enter the work force, of course within their circumstances. Still overall their rights had not been completed. One can imagine these individuals won’t stop at what they need to do. Being able to work is a privilege, a human right in itself. It is a plus if such employment comes with benefits like health and dental insurance, promotions, prospective pay raises, sick leave and vacation time, etc. Many elderly ones who worked hard before they gained fuller civil rights had already established their social security benefits and retirement pay. These may not be as excellent funds as they wish so but it was earned.
Employers have as one of their major problems absenteeism among their employees. This may affect their productivity and increase the load on other workers If an employee signed an contract or employment application promising to fulfilled his/her duties. Purposely taking off from work in order to prove or affirm your group’s civil rights goes against the grain and may be illegal. To be acknowledged on December 10Th many gay people instead of going to their jobs may had done volunteer work. How honorable, but consider the reasoning here. I am questioning if every one of them engage in non-profit work to help their communities.
What places a value on volunteering is the personal sacrifice the volunteer makes. Usually they are giving up their free time to do something good. Isn’t it so that many volunteers in New York and elsewhere work full and part-time jobs and still do non-profit work? And of those gay persons who had done volunteer work on December 10Th. How many of them are returning weekly or monthly to continue such non-profit work on their own, free time? If there are not too many of them could we conclude the volunteer work on 12/10 was another ploy to stamp approval for their twisted, ungodly lifestyle? In other words for them to right a wrong practice many still find offensive. Gay people may feel they have a civil right to live their lives as they wish. Yet freedom had always came with a price or obligation. My next two posts here will relate the high price determined homosexuals charged onto themselves and other persons. Is it a cost humankind could live with for our future sake? I will return soon with part two of my discussion here.
It has been a while since I post anything here. It is still rather challenging to regularly write articles here because of a busy schedule. I admit to the need of maintaining oneself in this difficult to live in world. It is easy for a individual or family to put forth lot of time and effort and constant planning just to get out of economic trouble. Like so many I do not mind having a productive life gaining satisfaction for doing good things. However there seems to be a cost factor or pointy thorn for every good step one wishes to make. Not just of now days, this had been a troubling, frustrating fact much of my life. Although I do not want to waste time and energy in complaining about it. And like other bloggers the person realizes this blog will not put the bread or butter on the table or help pay for something like auto or health insurance. Perhaps this might change in the near future. My wish not to suggest that blogging is often a hard road for seeds to grow on. But in regard to a familiar statement the eggs have to be place in other baskets than one. Or you must have other fields to cultivate to address the cost of living.

The short period of adjustment is not my referring to the new administration of President-elect Barack Obama. There may be billions looking forward to positive changes resulting from Mr. Obama's presidency. I am not into politics wanting to be contented as a typical, taxpayer uninvolved in worldly activities and beliefs. My viewpoint and objectives are different about the outlook of mankind's future. I believe in another administration that will bring about outstanding and permanent changes globally. This is of a divine message from the Bible which I hope you will hear of or learn better of soon. The short period of adjustment is regards this blog. The contributed articles and many photo images will be removed or replaced. There would likely be more videos. Such changes will take some time. I wanted to let you know about this and look forward to sharing much positive information with you.

Mr. Yang, circa 1959? Not long ago, actually just days ago there was a posting here regarding May-December relationships. It is my wish to make an adjustment to that recent posting. In it I stated my personal viewpoint of feeling uncomfortable myself being involved with the opposite sex who is either too young or too much older than me. There was no indication however of what would be too old or too young for me. Before giving that age range I wish to express an apology if anyone was stumbled or offended by what stated in that posting. This is more so directed toward those who are having successful, May-December marriages and honorable courtships. I do not want to in any degree reflect anything that would forecast your union as unsuitable. In this regard I would like to share with you two examples of the past and of the present, today. But there may be quite a few, success stories you know of yourself. Let us consider the ancient example from the 25Th chapter of Genesis, written by Moses. This was between the widowed Abraham and his second wife, Keturah. Abraham may have been 130 years old at the time of his second marriage! He must had been greatly sadden by the pasting of his beloved, first wife Sarah, the mother of Isaac. Katurah had to be much younger to be able to bear Abraham six sons! A key to my understanding that this was a wonderful relationship regards the honorable person of Abraham. He was a righteous man devoted in his relationship with God. There is no question he would not had gone after any woman for the taking.

This wise man selected someone who worship his God of a woman sharing his beliefs. Katurah surely had displayed fine qualities demonstrating her prospect to Abraham to be a good wife. She had done so by taking care of her six sons in addition to her house hold duties. As young as Katurah had likely been she was mature enough and hard working to support her aging husband toward his death at age 175 years, “a good, old age”. She for certain comforted her spouse after he lost his wife, Sarah who been with him so long. Abraham was wealthy enough to support his wife and children whom he likely taught them well in spiritual instruction. Abraham had already two, adult sons, yet he and the new wife worked together in building a new family. Isn’t that indication of a good, May-December relationship?

We can now jump back to our time in China. Chen Ning Yang, age 82 is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. In 2005 in the face of public scorn-criticism he married the 28 year old Weng Fan, his late wife’s interpreter. The vast contrast of age bothered people. This is the second marriage of both persons. They first met at a university where Yang gave lectures while Weng was a student in 1995. She later worked for Yang and his wife, Chih Li Tu as their interpreter. Yang was impressed by Weng’s considerate character and her excellent command of English. What irks me is that Weng and Yang may have fell in love with each other while he was still married to Chin. Yet he did stay with Chih until her death. And Weng herself married someone else who she later divorced. Their relationship develops differing from other modern, May-December relationships that involved materialism and fornication. We know Yang did not leave his first wife to be with a younger woman. And with other, younger men out there, Weng willingly accepted a man 52 years her junior. In 2006 their marriage was cited for a love story award. Yang and Weng showed they were having a credible union which appeared harmonious and happy to the public.

What is the age range which would make me feel uncomfortable? Over 20 years difference, either old or young that is quite a generational span. But the two examples above exceed my personal limitations and I don’t feel bad about it. I rather see 28 year old woman marry a caring, old man than to be stuck with a bad, abusing husband her same age. And it might be better for 23 year old man having a faithful wife his aunt’s age rather than a greedy, younger spouse who’s cheating on him. Regardless of the age it is the choice of each individual and together as a couple to honor the marriage arrangement and fulfill their role in it. The two examples of Abraham and Katurah and Yang and Weng had, are doing so. Would it surprise us that a devoted, 19 year old, prairie, home town wife may demonstrate more maturity toward her marriage than a successful, 39 year old manhattanite on her rising, career track? Therefore it may be a blessing to observe a couple such as Yang/Weng stroll in a city park than for us to close our ears from hearing a generation x couple argue out loud in a supermarket. There are other important factors. One basically is that strong marriages and family life contribute toward the wellness of society. The break down of families had resulted in serious problems world wide. Do any of us feel better knowing there is a high divorce rate in almost any place? The most immediate victims are the children of those splitting couples, either rich or poor-they suffer. If the damage extends enough these ones grow up with adult problems which may affect the rest of us. In this regard a genuinely happy, May-December union would be of continual good news. Their love story may help us to understand what is required to maintain healthy marriages and family life in spite of human imperfections and daily tribulations.
