You can't legislate or litigate good, healthy behavior but we must be willing to educate people at an early age about the affects of unhealthy living.

Whatever It May Be that Affects

Ever it may be that affects...
You have it in yourself,

The health care system is really designed to reward you for being unhealthy. If you are a healthy person and work hard to be healthy, there are no benefits.

It's a hard thing to legislate. You can't legislate good taste and you can't put a number on it in terms of square footage,... It's a question of where individual rights end and community rights begin.

You may be FAT but are you BEAUTIFUL?
The definition of beauty doesn't point singularly to physical appearance.
It is undeniable that it is good to be healthy
but it is idolatry to believe only the society's desire is acceptable.
God allowed us look the way we do and loves us thus
He loves the big, the small, the slim, the fat, the muscular, the average, the overweight, the underweight
One that cheers you on physically when you really are unhealthy is the friend to be avoided
If 'you are fat' is a fact, deal with it
Why seek to feel good about ones state when it leads an unhealthy regret down the road.
Pride in one's skin is more than just belief in one's being
It is a fertilizer for ones sense of appreciation
And a reinforcement for a bold mind unfazed by agents that taunt resilience.
Another thought that should not be entertained for a second
Is the idea that though one is healthy, there is a size for the society's perfect
One may work towards feeling better about ones physical look or keeping ones size
but that there is a perfect size to be met is a false attempt geared toward pleasing a fantasial idol
Don't let Barbie dictate what ought and what not
Neither should the yard stick of some models be a taunt
It is all a false representation that in no wise is natural
Life is more than present and joy is far from derived through looks
Down the road of time, the youthful pressure dwindles as wisdom replaces 'knowledge'.
For friends that desire to be true, deception is evil but discrimination likewise is
Love the unhealthy and aid in their physical need through truthful words and example
Respect the healthy and leave comparison to individuals
Be a model by the way you appreciate your healthful state.
Tell those that need to know that:
Beauty is an inner thing,
We attract who we are not what we look like,
It is the connection inside that results in the ultimate choice not the first impression.

Payment for good behavior
Payment for good behavior
Need is a reality which can come in any one’s life.
At such occasion somebody gave me money letter I returned the money to him.
Next time another man gave me
Money,
Good behavior,
And nice words full sympathy.
We take breakfast also on the table where the deal was accomplished.
Later I returned his money but I had no words to pay for his good behavior and nice words
To which he offered me at my difficult time.
I realize that we can pay for good behavior only by good behavior not by money.

The perfect lacks love.
Drugs make the unhealthy, healthy.
The healthy one needs no more drugs.
Love makes the imperfect, perfect.
The perfect one needs no more love?

Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.

Only For You
Dear heart, good morning
Colorful rays of sun are ready to greet you.
Wake up, wake up.
People in the ground walking and jogging.
And huge laughter of group of humanity.
Everything for you.
Each one of us pray for you.
A healthy and refreshing heart.
Make a healthy and wealthy body.
For a healthy smile on every human being.

Imported Goods At Our Ports And Us
Major two ports, through which we import,
All necessary fuels and nutrients to burn and support,
Gaseous exchange done at one, an element and a compound,
When puffing and sniffing, hundreds of poison prelude,
Confusion at the air bags and the capillaries surrounded.
Fixed deposited tar certainly produces interests,
The budded swelling may bloom into cancerous flowers,
Nectar from these may make us cough persistent,
When we do the ‘work', we may gasp for air,
These gasping and wheezing may chase away the partner.
Offspring born are unhealthy, as the sperm is deformed,
With the head and tail and the uterus becomes a dungeon,
Not a proper place for fetal growth and the vengeance,
Of insufficiency shown in the deviant behavior when born,
The unpolluted port will circulate the fluid of good fuel.
Another port does the work of absorption of ingested materials,
anything excess is not good, strain the pump and the filters,
coded message from the memory maker receives signals,
from the numerous zigzagged puzzle and send to process,
bulky cleanser shrinks, over ripe to spew the red.
after a heavy meal of lards, the fat float in the tunnels,
that get narrower and struck on the wall to clog and,
constrict the flow to increase the pressure and tension,
every disease is the invited guest of what we import,
and healthy people are the human out of what they eat.

If There Is A God That God
If there is a God That God is not for you and yours alone God is for everyone
And for every man and woman and their daughter and their son
When you say God is for you and all of your religion it shows how arrogant you must be
God is in every good living Human Being that's how it would seem to me
A true God would embrace good living people of all religions and all good living non believers as well
The people you have condemned in words to an afterlife of hell,
You do seem so judgemental and in your thinking you seem small
If there is not a God for every good Human Being there is not a God at all
People like you are not in minority and that does seem sad to say
And meeting you and your kind never seems to make my day
To the religious fundamentalists of the World you and your kind belong
But suppose if you think you must be right then you cannot be wrong
If there is a God that God does not live remote from the World of Humankind
And in every good living Human Being that God lives in their mind.

Look What The Good People Done
They were drinkin his wine
They were usin his name
They were takin the time to take
His name in vain
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
They were havin their fun
Look what the good people done
Well, the good people say things that they
Dont really mean
They look so convincing cause theyre
So squeaky clean
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
Its a million to one
Look what the good people done
They (? put him on walkin down ? ), they said,
Lets go on with the show
And they pad him on whiskey and say, boy,
Youve got to go
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
Hes (? on the highway ? ) to none
Look what the good people done
All the newspaper men
They were lookin for names
Pulled him out of a hat
They needed someone to blame
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
He thought he was the one
Look what the good people done
Well, the good people say,
Keep your nose to the ground
Then theyll build you right up
Just to knock you right down
Look what the good people done to you
Look what the good people done to you
They were gettin their kicks
Look what the good people nixed
[spoken - here we go]
Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me
They were havin no fun
Look what the good people done

You can't legislate good will - that comes through education.
Let's Share
If you have,
Give those who don't have.
If you can,
Help those who can't.
If you are able,
Aid those unable.
If you're happy,
Cheer those who are unhappy.
If you are healthy,
Visit the unhealthy.
Give them a flower,
Add some color.
A gift of your smile, when they are weak,
Allow them a peek,
A sunshine ray.
Brighten their day.
In the long run, a society's strength depends on the way that ordinary people voluntarily behave. Ordinary people matter because there are so many of them. Voluntary behavior matters because it is hard to supervise everyone all the time. … Successful societies — those which progress economically and politically and can control the terms on which they deal with the outside world— succeed because they have found ways to match individual self-interest to the collective good. The behavior that helps each person will, as a cumulative ethos, help the society as a whole.

The carnival of joy
One early Old Year’s Day
when the southeaster blew
with all of its ferocity
the murky sky the murky bay
was filled with gloom
and almost bloodthirsty you looked at me,
without any sincerity,
with anger and maybe a little bit of hatred
and you did not say a final goodbye
and I had lost you that afternoon
and felt empty, lost without a cause
as if all my living was finished and done
and as if everything good was gone
and I was forlorn and shattered.
Early on the New Year’s Day
when the emerald ocean lay
stretched out in tranquillity
as far as the eye could see
with crystal clear waters
people from the carnival
danced on banjo and guitar tunes
marched past in bright coloured uniforms,
and I found peace in the festival of happiness,
celebrating the New Year in,
that was demonstrated how great,
how utterly good
it was to be living.
