April 2002: Week One


4/15

Dear all who receive this message,
This is the first widely broadcasted episode of "Lunch time wisdom" where the subject never mattered. I am your host, Lester Reed. Today's journey through wisdom is (pulls out hat full of small white folded pieces of paper, takes one out and reads...) "Where does the turkey go after it is killed, eaten, and eventually spread throughout the world?"

Well, I feel that this one is a very dumb question because it answers itself. It is killed, eaten, and spread throughout the world. But in the interest of arguing something with myself, i will go with it.

Some may say that the turkey goes to turkey heaven. This is a very childish idea, or more, something you use to keep your naive to ignorant companions from getting upset over simply providing themselves sustanence.

The more popular belief comes from the southern Asian region. This belief usually says that it goes to being a better animal, and somewhere along the way, the attena (the inner soul) finds itself in a creature that can make moral decisions. And that is known as reincarnation for all those who haven't caught on yet.

Well, thank you for tuning into this very short episode of "Lunch time wisdom". Catch this program in your email box whenever I get bored around lunch time. Love you all, bye now.

Dear all,

Welcome to "Lunch time wisdom". I am your host Lester Reed. Before we pick the subject of the day, I would like to introduce our special guest. We have California's very own Ms. Freud!! Welcome.

"Thank you."

Can you tell us what you do, Ms. Freud?

"I am a psychoanalyst at MSTU."

Tell me, what conclusions have you come to in the recent months?

"Well, in my most recent book, Mr. Freud's belief that women have "Penis Envy" was rectified. The truth is this; men actually have "Ovacular Envy". Where Freud came short was not looking back far enough in history. Oh yes, in the past hundred years, women have been competing materialisticly with men. But look farther back into history. For more than a few thousand years men were the ones trying to build the biggest buildings and such. Women have never had to compete because they created life. Men would look at what women had created in just nine months, and looked at what they had to make over the a hundred year span, and were disgusted. They could never compete with this.
So to make up for it, they oppressed women, and they tried even harder to make bigger, faster, more efficient things, trying to compete with the efficiency of women making life. And it has only been in recent years that men believed that they have succeeded."

Very interesting. I will look for that book at my nearest library, what is it called again?

"It is 'The Feminist Movement Over the Course of Ten Million Years'."

Hmm, well thank you Ms. Freud, and we will be looking forward to you again some time.

"Thank you"

Well, that was Ms. Freud. Now to get to the subject of the day. (pulls out a black top hat that was stolen from a bum on the street on his way to the station, full of folded pieces of paper. Takes a piece of paper out and begins to read it). "I hate Christmas lights, I hate Christmas lights, I hate Christmas lights." Hmm, I think I should pull another one out, I think one of our staff members had some trouble with Christmas lights. Ok (takes another one out, but can not find one because the whole mess fell through the bottom of the top hat onto the floor. Shrugs and picks up one off the floor and begins to read.) "What would a dog do if it were a God?"

This is a very strange question. I honestly have no clue. Most dogs are different from one another. To make things worse, I have never been a dog, and don't know what travels through a dog's mind. But, because it is the nature of this program to B.S. some philosophical idea, here it goes.

I would have to say that if my dog was a God, I would be frightened. Any of the three would be equally scary. If Loki (the evil one most people around here call "Lucifer") was a God, he would go around raping any old animal just because he has not gotten any from anything for a very long time. If Blacky (the tame one to all humans, but nothing else) was a God, there would be no creature left not under her iron fist. And if Molly (the small one that I call a paranoid slut because when ever she is scared of everything and will role over and spread her legs for anyone and everyone) was a God, who knows, she would be so paranoid that she would probably accidentally destroy the planet. But these are just my dogs, and my personification of them.

In truth, I believe that we would end up more Hinduistic in the belief of them. Dogs are animals, and animals work according to nature. One of the more prominent Hindu beliefs is that God is not personal, and does things in a very natural way. There is no court, so all of the consequences are not judged with your consent. And I don't think a dog would diverge from this behavior much.

Well, thats that. Tune in next time to "Lunch time wisdom". And I thank again for Ms. Freud for being here in the studio. Love you all, Bye now.

Dear all,
Welcome to "Lunch time wisdom". I am your host, Lester Reed. And today's topic is (pulls out a new top hat because the last one was a bum's that broke through on the bottom, and takes out a piece of folded paper, begins to read) "What is an animosity, and how do we combat it, because it sounds pretty bad to me?"

Yup, this one's a keeper. This subject is big enough that it would be able to engulf several episodes of this program. But, because we here in the studio are pretty neurotic in nature, we are unable to keep to this subject for more than this episode. But if you would like to continue this subject later, just email the studio at Peacefair8012@aol.com, and I personally will respond, or someone in the studio.

Here is the diction semantic of the word animosity. "A feeling of strong dislike or hatred; ill will; hostility." Oh, and here is another definition that seems fun. Animism is:

"1. the doctrine that all life is produced by a spiritual force separate from matter
2. the belief that all natural phenomena have souls independent of their physical being
3. a belief in the existence of spirits, demons, etc."

And here is that weird symbol thingy's definition that I am always at the verge of enough curiosity to over come my laziness, but never am. The ankh is "a cross with a top loop, an ancient Egyptian symbol of life." Wow, I better put the dictionary away before I waste all my time writing boring (but interesting to me) definitions.

Now that we know what animosity means, and what animism and anka are, we can begin to deal with how to battle it. Because, not only does it sound like a bad thing, but it is. We could take several different ways of going about this just by using common house-hold religions. Go to your chemical and religious traditions cabinet, and unlock it (making sure that all you people keep chemicals and religious traditions safely out of the hands of little children). Take out which ever book or set of books you have accquired through your past forgotten religious training, and read them. There will probably be some words of wisdom along the lines of "Love thy neighbor as you love thy self" (or something to the effect, but there will probably be a Hebrew translation for you crazy people who don't like Old English). Others may contain "Do unto the least of these as you do to me." And, if you are one of the lucky few that are not Jewish, Islamic, or Christian, you may have a few stories about letting go of what is in the past. Such stories as the two monks who were traveling in strict celibacy, and come to a river with a small beautiful woman that could not get across. One of the monks picks her up and takes her across with them, sets her down and continues on. The other monk that did not pick her up was completely disgusted with the monk that did. And said 'Why did you do that, do you not remember that we are not even to touch women, let alone pick her up?' The monk that did pick the girl up responded with "Yes, but I set her down at the river, you seem to be the one still caring her."

So you see, just by picking up a random house-hold religion, you can not only fix the leak in your roof, but can battle animosity. Remember that I love you all. And wish no harm to anyone. Please follow suit in battling the enemy that is destroying everyone from the poor in starving countries to the rich man sitting depressed and alone at his desk.

This concludes episode three of "lunch time wisdom". I hope you tune in next time whenever I get to this again. Love you all, bye now.
