Yes, this page on Hilda Harris.com, is still messy and seems to be getting
worse but life can be messy sometimes, huh? There is a lesson to be learned
from this because I can and WILL do better! But what lesson is to be learned
from this site? And its mess?
My goal as a "different" type of philosopher is also to make you THINK! And
not necessarily to make thinking an easy project! I guess I have been
challenging people to "wonder" all my life, though. I am serious about my
goals, too. So what is the message here?
About my age:
Yes, even though my looks can be deceiving…sometimes… most of my friends are retiring
or are retired. Why don’t I consider the same? Why do I feel the need to get additional
education periodically? ( Well, first clue: look at this website. An education would help!)
Notwithstanding the financial considerations, those would be loaded questions.
Hopefully, with any education we receive, we are being educated by good people and not
vindictive ones.
About retirement:
As we age, some may think we should be winding down and doing less. I guess retirement
is all about doing what you really want to do. Although I think one’s entire life should be that
way. But to some people, retirement means doing nothing.
Maybe retirement is all about doing less or even nothing if there are some medical
concerns. However, medical science indicates keeping a mind active and productive
provides for the best “retirement” and the longest life. Furthermore, that long life matters a
great deal to the people who are involved with the “retired” person.
(This is very easily turn into a debate about when one should collect Social Security
benefits. But that is not the direction I am headed.)
Therefore, on a personal note, this website is also a place where I can retain and improve
some of my skills; especially my verbal skills which I probably don’t appreciate as I should.
Many times I am convinced that I have said enough in my life and “why say anything else?”
But I guess a philosopher (of religion or anything else) can never say enough. And they
never get too old, either. There will be more details on the educational page later. My
future hobby which will keep my intellect good and sharp!
The elderly:
This subject will be addressed in greater detail because there is a need for it.
Before you dismiss the subject of age as irrelevant in a "young and fast" world, think again.
When economic success seems to govern everything "relevant", currently the nations which
seems to be having the greatest economic advances seems to be those who have a strong
history of having the highest reverence for the elder members of their society.
Is there a link between economic success, respect for one's history and the eldery...even to
the point of worship??
Some think "absolutely NOT!"
but others would say there is a link even if it is to a point of mutual respect and not to the
point of worship.

| About Us |
| About Stalkers: This website would not be a social site used to contact those I have not been able to find. I am not interested in acquiring any more stalking problems which, I must add, were a problem before the acquisition of any kind of website or blog. Now I can just share the problem with others if I choose. More details but although, I am interested in making friends (sort of), I am not interested in forming any kind of attachment with anyone who would relentlessly stalk me, (especially) my children, my family and/or my friends. That has happened by more than a few people! Be sure and know this: It angers me but it does not frighten me. I will not be shaking in my boots trying to figure out what to do about it. But, basically, that means that, even though I do miss some of my old grade and Jr High School teachers who were very kind to me, if I haven't seen you in some time, I wouldn't be losing any sleep over trying to see you now. I am not the romantic! If a person should have the absolute awesome ability to hold all the "passion" they feel for me inside them for "eons" waiting for the right time in "eternity" to express it, then, as some of my male friends know, obviously they would not be the man (or woman?) for me! (No, I am not gay nor do I feel threatened that some may be attracted to me!) There just would be a lack of trust on my part because I would believe that only means they didn't have any passion (or love) for me because, the kind of passionate person I needed would not be able to hold it in that long! Yes, I am a Chrisitan but I am undeniably, delightful, delectable and delicious! It just ain't possible to like me for that long and not do anything. "NOT the man for me!" I used to think my attractiveness was due to the "beauty of holiness" and others were just attracted to the Lord in me (when I was not acting up). Now I think that it could just be the normal every day animal magnetism that they are attracted to. A photo of me before makeup. A photo of me after makeup is applied. But..."you were on a glass mountain and I couldn't get to you!" Me: "well, another "dog", I mean, man made it up here! Poor excuse!" Me: "...Well, poor excuse. Noah built and Ark!" But..."...You were all spaced out, really out on a space station out there!" Me: "...a nice place, too. But..again....poor excuse. All sorts of things are going up into outer space right now. Just admit it. You just aren't motivated." Speaking of rosebuds: I thought I would just "nip" that idea of stalking "right in the bud". Don't be a fool and believe all the hype. It is all just as yellow as this page!!!! Of course, statements like that can lead to more stalking! "Ooh. I had better move in NOW, then!" Details later because some folks seem confused about what constitutes my real personality. We will address the stalking issue better at another time! And my friends will help me do it, too. I only made a quick note here for their sake! And they would not be stalking if they are only interested in those who may be stalking me (and therefore, them) and WHY! It is a mess but one we can all deal with. Be careful, though. I guess you must have a license to investigate your own life. (smile) Or that is called stalking, too. Stay involved, though. And don't be afraid to give. Your information will remain confidential. I do understand the concept of privacy and I know more than most what works in maintaining that privacy and what does not. Sometimes keeping silent just does not work. All your help, monetary or otherwise, will all be used to help others by paying for my "investment" in my education and, therefore, your education as well. I WILL give back to society! Get it!? Did I make myself clear enough so I don't have to discuss this subject for a very, very, very long time? |

About me:
In the tradition of
Mother Teresa, I have
always wanted to give
back to others.
Although, I am not a
Roman Catholic, I am
a multi-faceted
individual and every
major decision in my
life has been
influenced by how I
thought Mother
Teresa would have
lived her life.
Unfortunately, I seem
to have some physical
limitations that may
compromise my
survival in certain
environments.
The purpose of the
website is one of
advocacy.
I hope to extend the
platform of others.
Hopefully, I can, if
even in a small way,
fulfill the tradition of
community service
that I have always felt.
So, therefore,
although I write about
myself, this site is all
about every one of
you who are
advocates also.
Hopefully, I can
encourage others to
let their lights shine in
a world where there
may be the darkness
of dissent and hatred.
We need you.
Desperately!
Hopefully, I can
encourage you as I
encourage myself that
you can make a
difference.

Careful, sister. With YOUR name,
references to (songs about) bombs
may make others think of witches
and some magical spell, akin to Harry
Houdini and Harry Potter and less
like, let us say, maybe
Harry-Tru-man-Truman
(poof) (poof) and HIS bombs!

Hmm. Looks kinda like my ex-husband but I
guess a man has a right to see his kids, though.
I wouldn't be accusing HIM of stalking me,
though! Just being nosey!
