could increase suffering in the world . Even the first man could
be explained much better than the evolutionists who try to
pinpoint genetic code of four genes more that of those identifie d
as haplorhine ("dry-nosed") primates fro m who m a first man is
said to have emerged into a wanderer amongst the creatures o f
the earth. My inclination would lend to a presumption that
manliness is a condition of nature that facilitates service to
manage the balance between the sum total of eart hly creatures .
Just having so meone with who m to talk, the elderly see their life
as having been worth the strained ride on rackety tracks fro m
the mo ment we stand until they lay us to rest.
Listen my readers, and you shall hear. The elderly can be a t
point in life where their children may not even know of their
whereabouts or a parent not aware if his or her children are still
alive. My friend's mother has become a prisoner in an assisted
living facilities built to sustain the lives of these individuals -
at a tune of several thousands of dollars a month (multiplied
over the number of patient residents the institution ca n
accommodate). The friend himself suffers fro m many infirmities
and spends most of his waking hours in efforts to procure
healing treatments. He neither has the means to travel to his
mother nor assist in the payment of fees. What the blessing in
living to such an old age, to hell with the scientific
advance ments.
This friend was asthmatic and couldn't have carpeting,
couldn't stand the dust that accumulates on bookshelves, and
was frantic about dust piling up on his furnishings, a sticklike
man living in a stone bare house. Imagine how he felt whe n
suffering shortness of breath he had to clean dust piled upo n
every immobile object set there, and dust chandeliers dangling
from the ceiling, subjecting himself to attack (at the top of the
ladder) by the invisible mites riding on airwaves. Millions o f
murderous prowlers on the relentless course of attack to deprive
him; not only of health but his sanity, how many innumerable
times he's cursed the m, glimmering like the twinkling of stars
on their path into abys mal spirals.
Then the asthma attack befell him; survival depended o n
diminution of intake to the miniscule gasps of air such that it
would not overwhelm him, to remain in a yoga like trance until
his strength ebbed enough to initiate the slightest effort towards
the most delicate motion of lowering himself to the floor. There
