THE CRAB MENTALITY

A barrel of snow crab from cold Alaskan waters were hauled on deck, they were precious bounty and would command a premium in price.  As the boatmen loaded their cargo in the holds of the ship there was time and opportunity for a blessed few crabs to make it back into the sea, tall waves crashed over the deck of the ship that could carry them back to sea, but the could never would come to fruition for these crabs.  In fac, the legend holds that crab barrels need no lids, they are self contained.  As soon as one is about to make it out, his fellow will pull him down and climb over him in his bid for freedom. Thus you have it, the proverbial “barrel of crabs”.  Which begs to ask the question; What is it inside of crabs that makes them such (ferocious ) haters?  They are determined that not one of them will make it out.

Not related, scientists are studying how selfies (self taken photographs) look strange to the person and it is now a disorder that they have named.   Huh(Scooby doo sound), since they are studying this non-sense, maybe they would like to look at something really important to humanity,  like studying crab brains and using that information on learning ways to liberate the crab mind mentality from the minds of men and women who are afflicted today.  We need crab mind liberation in a pill form.

When my heart looks at the world we live in today, I see more often than not, anger in the place where love should be.  The women inside of a woman’s circle are her harshest critics, and the men inside of a man’s inner group are his fiercest enemies.  Jealousy, envy, and covetousness corrupts the hearts of men and women, and instead of being well wishers and congratulaters, they are cross out artists, back stabbers and haters.  They should support you, love you, and offer a boost up in the hopes that you should make it, but in reality they are elated when you fail.  They can only envision a world where they are above you.  The crab mentality is a tactic the evil one taught men to use to pluck down God’s children down each time they were about to make it over the hump.  The good news is, if God is for you, then he is more than the whole world against you, and hate as they may, they can only do you temporary harm.  Know without doubt that the same God whose been keeping you will carry you all the way through.   See yourself running through the open door and laugh because no hater can stop your elevation.

Could you just imagine a second living the life of a hater?  Everywhere you’d go you’d have that mad eyebrows look.  That would be tiresome in itself, then you would have to be a hail-storm of negative energy and salt down everything positive you hear and see occurring around you. You would have to lie on your friends, slander your colleagues and co-workers, to always put yourself in the best position to gain, in that perfect light.  You’d tell your spouses secrets, or your friend’s secrets, and all you could contrive to always make yourself appear better than they are.  Harboring so much negativity would cause a person to have a stroke, a heart attack, a stomach-ache, or a headache, I’m sure of it.  It just doesn’t make since, it is so much easier to love than to hate.  I’m puzzled at how some persons claim to love God, whom they’ve never seen, and hate their sister or brother whom God created that they see daily?  That was Lucifer’s sin, he refused to bow down and worship man whom God had created?  There are a lot of little Lucifer’s running around the world today spreading: misdirection, chaos, and discord, between the sisters and the brothers.  May I also add that they are some hateful little devils!

For my part I have been a lover of man and womankind, we are all awesome in our creation as is the God who created us.  Everyman is my brother and every woman is my sister and I will do my part to build the love between us.  Things won’t always go well and we won’t always get along, but I won’t hesitate to say, “I’m sorry” when I’m wrong or, “forgive me” when I am right.  If I failed to do so, then I’d be in danger of becoming a hater myself.  It is true that we have all been conditioned to hate, on the basis of being pitted against each other in a race for survival, subsistence, wealth, class, and status.  It is however contingent upon us as evolved humans to break the chains hatred spawns over our hearts and minds, because they are hindering our development as people.  We must protect our minds and our hearts that’s what is in danger of injury and corruption.  We can’t allow the stone faces, and the toilet mouths to destroy the love, warmth, kindness, and forgiveness that God filled our hearts with.

There will always be back stabbers, because there will always be people that desire what you possess.  There will always be the jealous persons, they will be mad at you for any reason, and for no reason at all.  People will curse you, lie on you, and talk about you.  Then you may actually do something wrong and they will really clobber you!   Pay them no attention as you prepare for your meteoric rise…the greatest revenge is success…think about it.
