THE MOST HORRIBLEST CLOWN OF THE WEEK!

What is a “horriblest clown”? According to talk show host Terry Anderson, the Most Horriblest Clown of the Week is the person, most of the time a politician, who pandered to illegal aliens in the most egregious way. Terry Anderson’s show is on for one hour a week on Sunday and he devotes himself to the illegal alien problem in the United States. His idea of immigration reform is to enforce the current laws: Enforcement now and enforcement only. If this appeals to you, tune into his show tonight at 9:00 p.m.

One of the things you will hear tonight is who is the new “Most Horriblest Clown of the Week”. To give you a sample of what that means, last Sunday the Most Horriblest Clown of the Week was Lindsay Graham, also known as Prissy Lindsay Graham according to Terry. Senator Graham earned this honor by expressing his displeasure with President Barack Obama for not acting on amnesty fast enough. Apparently, the president only wants to talk about it and not do anything about it, which is fine with Terry Anderson, but to the Most Horriblest Clown it is a major flaw to not grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Be sure to tune in tonight for the new Most Horriblest Clown of the Week.

Judgement and Discernment

The times to make judgments about someone’s character come up often. This is not unusual. What makes making judgments difficult is when resentment is added to the judgment. But making judgments is important to do because sometimes we are involved in things we really shouldn’t be involved in. If we never make judgments about these things we will never be able to leave these situations. The thing to remember is to not hold resentment toward the people about whom we are making negative judgments.

A common scenario is with relationships. Both men and women can get into relationships with people who are not good for them. What we need to do in these situations is to accept the fact that our partner is not, for example, emotionally stable and to leave the relationship. After leaving this relationship it is time to move on to other things and not feel any resentment toward that person because it is not good for the person holding the resentment as has been explained in detail above.

When you are in a place where you can make a judgment about other people without resentment entering in, it is discernment. Discerning between things can mean that you are deciding whether or not something is good for you. In the example of the relationship you are discerning whether or not the other person is a good match for you. Does this person do things that you would not like to live with for the rest of your life? If the answer to that question is yes, then you have discerned that it is not a good match. In this case you can terminate the relationship and it will not be because you are resenting this person. It will be because you are acting like an adult and deciding what is good for you and what is not.

Being judgmental is another quality that people tend to think is a part of life. This is when people look down their noses at others that they are judging to be less than themselves. It is not necessary to become conceited when you are discerning the character of another. This makes you less of a person because resentment has crept in. You are resenting the person to whom you feel superior. You can avoid becoming this type of person by discerning rather than judging negatively as described above.

The Foundation of Human Understanding can help you further understand the differences between judgment and discernment and other negative emotions. Roy Masters also has a radio show and you can find the radio station near you on the website. The website can be found at http://www.fhu.com/ and has many materials such as books, videos and CDs that are phenomenal. To say that this website is life-changing is not an exaggeration. You will learn how to give up judgment and resentment which will make everything different.

RESENTMENT

Resentment means that you are living an event over again. This would be all right if you were only reliving the good things that happen, but most likely what you are reliving are the negative events. Some people think this is normal. They think it is normal to feel resentment, but others believe that it is not. Therefore, we should not be reliving the negative things that happen to us over and over again.

Suppose you are at work and something unpleasant happens; for example, you have an unpleasant dispute with a co-worker. This turns into a constant thought in your mind and you replay it over and over again with what you might have said that would have been better than what you actually did say. These actions etch this dispute in your brain so that you have a very good memory for it. As you continue to recreate the memory and make up other scenarios for it you are obsessed with the memory. This is a horrible thing to do to yourself and is not normal.

A better action to take is to not let yourself get upset in the first place. When your co-worker becomes difficult, if you do not allow yourself to become as emotionally invested in the argument as this other person you will save yourself the resentment that inevitably comes from fights. Maybe it seems impossible at this time, because whenever anyone started an argument you always gave it back to them. But, it is possible to train yourself into not reacting to someone’s bad temper. When you do this you will find that you will not harbor any resentment toward this person because you did not invest your emotions in some trivial matter. Without resentment you will not relive the moment over and over again and you can place your energy in the important things such as your family, your friends, the activities that give you joy.

It is not important for you to fight everyone who wants to fight you. If the other person turns violent, then you are obligated to defend yourself, but short of that you can work on being a more serene person when it is appropriate. It will do wonders for your well-being and your health. Your blood pressure will not spike as often and your heart rate will remain steadier. There are also diseases that take years to develop. It is believed that our emotions can be partly responsible for diseases such as cancer. If this is the case, becoming more relaxed in your life will help prevent those diseases from festering.

This concept of not becoming upset during an argument may seem very foreign. There is a wonderful website where you can become more familiar with these concepts developed by Roy Masters. It is called the Foundation of Human Understanding and can be found at http://www.fhu.com/. It is termed a Christian organization but you do not have to be Christian to benefit greatly from this website. Roy is Jewish, after all. Visit this website and it will change your life.
