Lost One Celebration: (Unedited): 28 Feb 2015:

The lost ones who find something that another has lost. Joyfully celebrates equally when the lost object is re-united with it's owner.

=================================
 I was at The Crab Shack last night. One of the regulars immediately went into action to find a lost ring of a non-regular customer. She found the large (to me) single stone engagement ring. The ring was returned to the searching customer who was trying to find it in the darkened parking lot. There was celebration by both. Honesty and excitement. Worry turns into confusion and then thankfulness.
----------------------
Some people who rarely see any form of honesty in their lives or even expect it. They may even become temporarily confused at the efforts made by strangers. Sometimes which should be all of the time. A simple expression of gratitude should all that is given. No monetary rewards should ever be expected to repay a kindness.
When the customer did leave. There were hugs. 
----------------------
The event was profound for the person. Her hands shaking as she put on the ring.
The event was even profound for the ring finder. She needed this feel good victory. It was awesome to witness. Even though I do not drink. I bought her a congratulatory beer. Hugged her neck as I left.

Celebrating Criminals: (Unedited): 27 July 2013:

Joyfully celebrating the life and actions of famous criminals is exactly like celebrating the life and actions of Hitler and Stalin. C.J.MacKechnie
====================================================
 This is something that I'm unable to understand. How people can celebrate the greatness of criminals and criminal organizations. Especially when those criminal organizations habitually use as a practice intimidation, cruelty, thievery and murder to gain wealth for themselves. One should not even consider that it is OK or that these criminal organizations are not that bad. When some percentage of their over all business practice is legal.

These criminal persons, groups and organizations should be unaccepted, shunned and ridiculed.

Your Spiritual Tree: (Unedited): 23 May 2010:

From a tiny seed of creativity deeply rooted within your mind. Nourished with love, compassion and mercy from the outpouring of your heart. A full great spiritual tree will be realized and joyfully embraced by others to admire. C.J.MacKechnie 

===================================================================
 A simple idea is a seed which needs much attention to grow into an idea of wonderful complexity. From this one simple idea. It can grow beyond the limits of your own mind and into this world in which reality is created. As with anything which has every been created by Man. It was first just a simple idea. Then a plan was formed and materials gathered. Then the idea was manufactured into a realized entity in this reality.
An idea which is fed with love, kindness, compassion and mercy. Grows into a wondrously beautiful thing. While the idea fed with hatred, anger, evil intentions and murder. Grows into a flaming and smoking tree of death and despair.
