"Different Paths to the Same Finish Line"
Dinarville seems to have some undeniable divisions in it – which kind of reminds me of the three sects in Iraq. Each one sure of their path and beliefs, and ‘they’ are right – or somehow more correct than the other two.
It seems to me, there are those that follow the Elders, Dragons, Chinese – Landa Global (zap) – bonds and their redemptions….
Then those that are following global economics, implosion, crash, the changes internationally in banking, old system out while new system comes in….
We have the republic folks, believing in our constitution being restored to the way it should have remained before we were all duped…
And we have the Iraq newshounds, following each move made there, each step of each law, watching them follow a well laid out blueprint and many of these folks know more about THEIR government than they do their OWN!
Many of these groups claiming this all 'has nothing to do with the other!'
Unfortunately, it’s sad when each of these sects in dinarville speak so terribly of the others – and develop such venom towards another's beliefs, one guru against another, and dinarians follow that lead.…. I say – BIG DEAL! Who cares..
It’s not all that important what the rest of the gang thinks, or believes – they have waited just as long as the rest, sweated, hurt, and tried their best to hang in there based on what they believe.
All that's important is that YOU are comfortable with what YOU believe - that's all that matters at the end of the day, that we're ready.
Each one - of these sections of Dinarville – also seems to have a few leaders in their arena to choose from.. some which make a living at this, others that don’t.. again – who cares what they get.
Anyone noticed how extremely well respected and highly educated individuals believe directly opposite from the way you do?? doctors, lawyers, doctorate degrees in dinarville -
I think they can be found on each of these 'paths'....
I just find it extremely ironic – that each one of these different avenues seem to be reaching an end and in their final scene. Anyone else notice this?
The Republic folks are all giddy with excitement, the last leg, seeing what they have dreamed of finally coming to an end, etc….
The Bond Redemptions – are reported to be upon us for those that have lived the Chinese angle with every breath and dollar they have…
And Iraq is about to vote on their final laws, talking everyday about deleting zeros and international compliance of this, that, and more!
Is there only one road to the finish line? Who said so?…
Could there be truths in each path? Ha!!
I think it’s mighty amazing tho – that all of these paths seem to be in the final scene, right now – and never has that been the case in the past that I know of.
Goes back to the ‘we are one big Dinarian family’ – heck, families never get along with EVERYONE in their family – but it’s so darn true… and, over the last year or so – I’ve certainly become less judgmental when others have beliefs total opposite to mine…
Chances are – they will arrive at that finish line following their path precisely the same time as me!
