It is ok sometimes to be angry. Sometimes this is a great way to move past certain problems and issues that you may have.  Anger is completely normal and you will want to make sure that you are dealing with it as best as you can. You will want to be careful so that you are not setting yourself up for more problems when you are angry because of a divorce.

Getting divorced can be a hard time in anyone’s life. It is something that you will have to deal with one day at a time.  It is not always easy for both parties especially if you are not the person initiating the divorce. If you are the person that is being left, you may feel angry and hurt at the other person.  These feelings are completely relevant and you will have more emotions come up in the future as well.

When you are having issues with anger because of a divorce, you will want to make sure that you are using your best judgment in the matter. You do not want to do anything to harsh because you may later regret it.  Remember that once you do something or say something, it is impossible for you to take it back.  You must remain calm in this situation so that you are not coming off looking irrational or childish.  

There are ways that you can deal with the anger after a divorce.  You will want to sit down and calmly think about them first. You do want to make sure that you have the facts to why you are getting divorced. Make sure that you are not left out in the dark so that you can have a full understanding of what is going on in your life.  You can try and talk to your soon to be ex and find out what is going on and use communication as a form of release. Talking things out can sometimes make a person feel much better.  

In order for you to feel better and get through the divorce, you will need to move past the angry part. You have to find a way to move on and get through this difficult time. There is no real answers to how you do this, you just have to figure out the best way that you know how so that you are taking care of you first.  The most important thing that you can do when you are in the process of a divorce or after it is said and done is to take care of yourself. You need to make sure that you are staying healthy and happy because you are more important.

Angry is a very passionate emotion.  It can take you up or down.  It will depend on the way that you are able to handle the emotion and what you intend to do with it. You do not want to let the anger that you have inside you got too far advanced. You want to make sure that you can contain it and keep it under control for your sake and the sake of others.  There is no reason to fly off the handle and cause a big scene even though it may seem like it is a good idea at the time.

You can seek treatment for any anger issues that you may be dealing with. When you think that you are not able to control your anger, you can go and find help for these problems.  You can get counseling and find out what is making you so angry and different steps to make it better and improve as time rolls on.  

Other facts indicate that the emotion or feeling someone was able to have an impact on physical health disorders. Primarily on emotions that are negative, such as feelings of regret, fear of failure, anger, confusion, and so forth.

If not acted it will accumulate and can lower the immune system, disrupt breathing, increased body temperature, and the resulting depression. If it gets worse, will cause various diseases.

The best way to respond to emotions, especially the emotion of anger, is to remove it or take it out in a good and decent. Good to talk with people who make us upset. Do not get otherwise because it would not solve the problem and it will be expanded.After a quiet and emotions subside, can be followed by a prayer or worship to be more calm yourself.

Here are some of diseases associated with emotion and its cause:

A. Allergy, because the denial of the power and ability.
2. Arthritis, because the feeling unloved, rejected and feeling victimized.
3. Fever, because that is not capable of feeling anger expressed.
4. Kidney, because of disappointment, feelings of failure, shame is pressed.
5. Maag, fear, anxiety, feelings of self-satisfied.
6. Lung disease, despair, emotional exhaustion, emotional wounds.
7. Back pain, the fear of money, to feel burdened.
8. Back pain, because the sense of not being loved, need affection.
9. Heart, because the sense of loneliness, feeling of worthlessness, fear of failure and anger.
10. Cancer, due to pent-up hatred or chronic liver meal.
11. Diabetes, as stubborn, unwilling to be blamed.
12. Glaucoma, the pressure of the past and unable to forgive.
13. Acne, because they do not accept yourself, not like in yourself.
14. Aches, because he wanted to be loved and cherished, hugged and shared needs.
15. Obesity, for fear, to be protected, hidden anger, do not want to forgive.
16. Minus the eyes, for fear of the future.
17. Plus eye, unable to forgive the past.

Bully (Photo credit: trix0r)

At last, the Philippine Congress has passed a bill on anti-bullying known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2012.  Bullies had better be aware of this development.  Their days now are numbered.

 It is regrettable that there was no law like this during my high school days.  I must admit I was a victim of bullies like that classmate of mine who looked like a rabid, dung-eating dog (I cannot remember his first name anymore but his surname sounds like Taimoy).  Modesty aside, I was more intelligent than anybody else in the class and usually topped the exams but I was very skinny at the time and he was much bigger.  Never a day passed without any insulting or sniping remarks from him and his companions like Tuyo, Gilagid, Negro, and Labi, who were also bullies.  I nearly dropped out of school because of them.  The only time I was happy was when I was cutting classes or being absent for two or three days so as not to see their faces.  I would rather see a kung fu movie than attend a moronic class handled by an equally moronic, useless teacher.

There came a time when I got fed up.  This idiot bully was burning matches and one stick thrown at me stuck at my polo shirt and made a big hole near the collar.  I lunged at him and landed a right hand directly on his chest, which was the only part I could reach—he was much taller as I mentioned earlier.  He retaliated by punching me on the jaw and before I could throw a counterpunch, someone held my hand and kept me away from him.  From then on, no more fight, only verbal attack every now and then, but that was still bullying, eh?

Bullying is generally defined as physical and verbal abuse, anything that could hurt a victim.  A UN study showed that at least 5 out of 10 children in grades 1-3, 7 out of 10 in grades 4-6, and 6 out of 10 in high school experience various forms of abuse from their peers or from their teachers. 

Effects of bullying on victims such as anger or depression may continue many years long after the bullies are gone.  Me?  If I come across them now, I will not have second thoughts.  I would hit them like a kung fu master just the same, with or without anti-bullying law.      

Like a cocoon, there are those who wrap their misery around them, interacting with the world with distorted vision. Their past becomes who they are. Their identity is always that of the abandoned child, the unloved teenager, the forgotten patient. Pain and misery are an everyday companion. Sometimes this identity is kept in place very carefully, and each person who comes in contact with them must pay some price for the unfortunate privilege.

The distinct discomfort that comes when meeting or knowing one of these individuals is a shadow, compared with the very real misery a “life victim” experiences. The pain is real, and the trauma cannot seemingly be overcome. The question becomes: how hard does the person try? New friends and supportive social groups can become just another sounding board for the victim’s misery without any real desire for change.

How does one “make” someone else want to see life differently? How many great experiences, words, expressions of love, will be enough to wake a “victim” up to the reality that they are loved and needed? That negative behaviors (physical violence, threats of suicide, cruelty and deep depression) need not be the future.

Self-determination is a gift we all have been given. We decide if our life is going to change. Until we understand that no one can change our life for us, or how we feel about our life, our circumstances or our history, we can continue to “live the misery”. There is much to be gained in inflicting anger on others. It makes people react, and prompts people to reassure them, and through guilt, obligation or fear, some are enslaved

While it may sound cold, a victim can control others by constantly holding the bar too high for anyone to jump. Therapy sessions, loved ones, scholastic achievement, medical treatments and social contacts can all fall away as they hit the cocoon kept carefully in place. Not only does this wall keep people ineffective, it keeps the victim in their deliberate misery.

Unfortunately, those who care about these “victims” become victims themselves, finding themselves co-dependent to their abuse and control. Some want to get out of this entrapment, some do not. Guilt keeps many tending the fire, and the thought of “abandoning” this person is almost unthinkable.

We all have choices. We can stay in a building that is burning, or we can get out. If the ship is sinking, we know that we will drown if we stay, so we head for the lifeboat. This is common survival practice, and it is second nature for any animal to run away from danger and destruction. Making that choice is not one that can be made through our emotions. Desiring a better life must come because we cannot imagine the years ahead filled with misery, whether it is ours or someone else’s.  Walking through the fire of feelings of guilt, loss, responsibility and love, we can at least save ourselves from becoming a second victim to a scenario designed by someone else. 

When the weapons a sufferer has are not getting the desired responses, a “victim” will often emerge from the cocoon. When control is no longer there, when ears are no longer listening and there is no one left to abuse, choices become clearer, and motivation to change may begin to appear after a time. This may require physical absence of support. Initially, the volume will be increased, the blame will become deafening. But change, if it is to happen at all, must come because the person who is “living the misery” comes to understand that there is a whole world that offers choices of life design.

You’re having a quiet drink in your favorite local pub.  Near you is a biker dude in full regalia – chains, leather, etc. – chugging down large quantities of brew and with an angry scowl on his face.  Also nearby is a solitary guy who looks like a clone of Bill Gates, very shy and introverted.  He’s also drinking heavily but his demeanor suggests he wouldn’t hurt a fly.  Which one do you think is about to explode into a violent, dangerous rage?

If you’re answer is the biker dude, you’d be wrong.

Look Out For the Quiet Shy Type

According to Scandinavian researchers, it’s the introverted types, those who tend to keep their emotions to themselves, who are the most likely to have a bad – indeed, very bad – experience when they drink to excess. Looks alone don’t tell the entire story, they say.

“Alcohol use may be related causally to violence, but the effect of drinking is confined to individuals who are inclined to suppress their angry feelings,” concluded the researchers.

Violent or Not? (Image via CrunchBase)

The study was based on based on information gathered from a survey of young Norwegians over several years.  The first survey in the form of surveys and questionnaires took place among almost 3000 people when they were 16 or 17 years of age.  They were surveyed again at ages 21 to 22.

The More Anger Is Suppressed, the More Danger

The participants were divided into three evenly divided groups and studied to determine the levels at which they tended to suppress their anger in a variety of situations. For the individuals who reported a high inclination to suppress their feelings of anger, there was a 10 percent increase in drinking to the point of being drunk which was associated with a five percent increase in violence.

When the researchers matched those observations with volunteers who had shown little or no inclination to suppress their anger they were less disposed to become violent when they had too much to drink.

The researchers concluded that while “only a tiny fraction of all drinking events involve violence … whether intoxicated aggression is likely to occur seems to depend on the drinkers’ propensity to withhold angry feelings when sober.”

So, when drinking looks can be deceiving.  I’ll drink to that.

How Free Are You?

            We’ve taken our freedom for granted and forgotten our roots of where we came from and who we are. We’ve allowed government to tell us where we can move, where we send our kids to school, what they are taught in both school and colleges and on the television. Young people are not prepared for the world when they graduate from high school. When people get married they’re not prepared for the challenges that await for them with a changing economy and a society that deems it acceptable to get divorced instead of facing their problems and finding their strengths.

            Children from the time they’re born to the age of six are in a mode of Alpha mode thinking where they are the most creative and learn quickly.  By the time they start school that Alpha mode changes to Beta. The school they attend teach them the only way to succeed is to get good grades, do as your told, follow the laws and be selfless. This mode of thinking is taught all the way until they graduate. What’s worse is that parents are away, working their careers to provide while their children face the day of thinking they have to serve the state. The parents feel like they have to sacrifice their dreams so their kids have a good future.

            Certain people in selected groups know that if they can control the media and get people to think a certain way that they’ll have total control of people’s lives. Sadly it has already happened. When the television was first created, the leader of Great Britain  passed a law that said all British people had to have a TV in their homes so they would know what was going in the country, to be entertained and happy . At first you might think that this sounds like a good idea, but lets just think for a minute. Why would the government wan to pass a law in Great Britain  that mandates everyone to have a TV. Why would they be so concerned about their happiness? Before the invention of the TV people got involved with communities, children played outside, read books, played board games and families were closer at the supper table.  Granted, the TV can be a wonderful thing, but in this case it became very destructive. After three months everyone in London were at home watching TV instead of being at the park to meet people and make friends. All the parks in London that were once full of people and congregation was completely empty.  All over the globe the Television destroyed communities and people stopped communicating with each other and became more interested in what was on TV. This is what government wants; to get people to sit in front of a box and hypnotize them to believe how society should be as well as lies.

            You can imagine what’s happening now in the United States. When I walk into a public library or a McDonalds I see people sitting next to each other or across from each other, but there not talking their talking on their cell phone or texting. People today don’t know how to talk to each other because they got to get home and watch TV. When you sit in front of a TV your brain goes into Alpha mode. This sounds great because when you were a young child you were always in Alpha mode, but this is different.  You’re hypnotized to believe everything you see is the truth. This could be anything from the drug commercials you hear about, the news that is reported (that is also controlled by special interests groups).  People love to watch sitcoms that have powerful dramas of how people should act in life.  Although you may think so what, its already had an effect on people today. You hear the old saying monkey say and monkey do? People idolize the stars way to much.  When they see the stars get Botox they believe that they should get Botox. The sitcoms make relationships look like they should be difficult and that breaking up is normal, that divorce is natural. They make the average American man or dad look fat and bald and the ass hole while the wife or girlfriend look like the brains or the attractive one. If you believe this is how life is then you haven’t lived.  These ads are very powerful, emotional, stimulating and after you turn off the TV it stays in your brain for at least forty-five minutes.

 Is College A Scam?

             College is probably the biggest scam in the United States right now. In the beginning of the 1900’s having a college degree from a prestige college was a big thing. When Jimmy Carter started the Department of Education he opened up a Pandora’s Box that led the idea for every American to send their child to college or else they wouldn’t have a job. In the 1960s and 70s about 20% of the country was agriculture. That number today has shrunk to less than 10%.  What this means is that there is less farmers today producing food. Eventually food prices will go up and all these fat cats who are in Wall Street and wanna be lawyers will be without a job and farmers will become very wealthy.

            College is also a scam also because almost all the colleges use fabricated statistics to show people that when they leave they’re guaranteed a job.  Even in the late 1980s and 1990s people have come forward to state that they found jobs making a lot of money that didn’t require a college degree. Colleges have said that employers won’t accept someone to work for them if they don’t have a Bachelors’ Degree in a specific field. Not only that some employer know that the graduate NEEDS a job to pay back the loan. The college knows that they can make a lot of money off the interest. So when a student uses government and private loans they can end up in debt of over $100,000.00.  The average debt of a person who gets out college is at least $25,000.00. That’s enough money to buy a brand new car. What’s worse is that when you default on your loan it could be as much as $200,000.00.  That’s not a school loan that’s a mortgage without a house and up until recently  the whole idea of going to college has become a joke.

            Each politician, both parties alike, that have taken office are guilty for encouraging people to go back to school to better themselves when really they’re just putting them in debt. You read about ads where President Obama is encouraging single moms to go back to school. He should really stay out of it and let the single moms focus on their own lives.   It’s not fair to see a single mom who’s forty-five years old to go through college for dentistry and get stuck with a bill that’s over 100,000.00 worth of school loans that’s got 6% interest rate. This doesn’t include the inflation of the decline of the dollar which could cause the loan to sky rocket to $300,000.00.  This has happened to quite a number of single moms and women who are in their  fifties who know they’ll never be able to pay back the loan. Congress passed a bill that you can’t file for bankruptcy. This is a scam that the Federal Government is doing and the loans that are being allowed should be illegal and with credit cards that charge a high interest rate get charged for usury. Usury is a term that used when a financial or credit institution over charges you interest and they know you can’t pay back a loan. It is illegal.

            To make matters worse the Federal Government has been sending out applications for loans to students. The students that take these loans end up getting a lot of money from the Federal Government. Some of them didn’t even use the money for college, but used it for buying a condo with furnished expensive furniture. This is happening right now as we speak. Thousands of college students are using money that the Federal Government is printing to buy cars, computers, video games, apartments and other toys.  

 So What’s Going To Happen?

             What will happen is pretty simple, people aren’t going to be able to pay back the loans.  The College students will ask the Federal Government to forgive the loans so they won’t have to pay back the loans. The Federal Government then  will add the amount unpaid to the tax payers. The graduates who went to school to be a lawyer and can’t find a job will be forced to pay back the loan. These loans usualy range from $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 and that’s not including the interest. So you understand; nobody is really winning out of this crises, unless of course you’re the Federal Government who allowed this to happen in the first place. The tax payers, people like me and you will have to pay the money through inflation and eventually raised taxes for the students who choose to not pay the money back or can’t. I’ve learned that by the year 2020 colleges will see a 30% drop in people attending college and 50%  of colleges will also be closed in the country. 

            The Federal Government needs to get out of education immediately and let the markets resume on their own with letting the private sectors give out the loans, but sadly the private loans won’t deal with students who have loans with the Federal Government. This will force colleges to get competitive and drive prices down.  It won’t make everything better, but it’s a start.

Progressive Concept; Make The People Want  An  Evolution Not a Revolution.

            It is true that in the past leading up to now that politicians have worked hard to motivate the public by telling them to give up their guns. They also like to say that America needs to get into foreign affairs and that the people should be passive about regulations that are passed.

            Now with the Patriot Act that has been passed, the Federal Government can continue monitoring and with Obama signing the Defense Act Bill you can be sure that your rights are being infringed. These bills break the Fourth and Fifth Amendment of being safe and free in your home and having a trial with a jury. What this means is that the Federal Government can consider anyone a Terrorist. They can break into your home, hand cuff you and take you away to a location where no one can find you. You hear about interrogations being done in Egypt and that the citizens of Egypt are taken from their homes and basically disappear.

What The Federal Government Wants

            The people that are in our Federal Government want to break the country in pieces.  They want to destroy families and destroy communities so that things get so bad that the people cry out for help. When the people cry out for help then the Federal Government will declare Martial Law. Martial Law is an act where the country becomes a police state. People will have a cure few that will lock down the community into their homes. It will be like Nazi Germany when Hitler took control of the country.  The constitution  will be suspended and nobody will have any freedom, you’ll have total tyranny.

            The Federal Government want control over what you do, where you work, how your children are raised, how you should spend your money and where you can travel.

            They’ve already got control over where you can work with the credit score. People think that employers use the credit score to decide who to hire. The credit score is irrelevant when applying for a job, but yet you’re asked to sign a waiver giving them permission to look up your credit score.  It’s discrimination and against the Fourth Amendment. Employers aren’t even suppose to be photo copying your Driver’s License  because of the increase in identity thefts. Think about it you don’t know your employer and you shouldn’t be giving that information out. America is the only country in the world that has the Credit Score.

            The Federal Government wants control over the Education of what your child is taught. Jimmy Carter passed the Department of Education with Congress to take responsibility for your child’s education. The idea is to have a system in place to teach the children a small portion of America’s history.  They want your children to become followers, dependent on government and have no understanding for consequences for their actions. They want to dumb down your child by making it difficult for teachers to do their job. Think about the No Child Left Behind Act passed by President Bush, it didn’t help the children or the teachers.

            There have been other anomalies that can’t be proved the Federal Government is behind it, but the Federal Government isn’t doing their job to protect the public. There are food additives and high levels of toxins in health products; like shampoos, hair sprays, make up, lips stick.  These Toxins can cause degeneration of the brain and make it hard for your child to learn in school. The Federal Government knows that they can’t make you get your vaccine shots. These vaccines are loaded with Mercury that cause ADHD, ADD, Learning Disabilities, Behavioral Problems and Autism.  Vaccines are scams and the Federal Government is behind this scam to make you believe if you don’t get a flu vaccine that you’ll die. Mammograms are scams as well, they cause cancer.

What Can We Do?

            We can do a lot! We need to stand up and say no to big government and socialism. We need to preserve a Republic for the individual American Citizen. We need to work together by sharing what we know to other uninformed Americans. Get organized and talk to your neighbors. We can’t depend on the Fox 9 news or CNN or any News to cover the biggest SCAM that’s going on in our government.

            There is already a growing movement in the United States. Militias are forming; there’s one in Virginia and Michigan. Protests are being done in Washington DC with the direction this country is going the people in power don’t know what to think. We need to stop fighting among ourselves over petty things, our freedom is at stake. If we don’t have our constitution and our freedom then we’re allowing more government control that will lead to something worse, world governance.

 The American novelist and journalist Christopher Morley, referred to man as not knowing life if had never made a woman angry. Today that may still hold true from the point of view of knowing how a woman may react differently than expected out of anger and how one may learn a lesson that can never be forgotten. “Hell hath no fury than a woman’s scorn” is an older saying that lends credence to the other quote, as it is then that a man’s life with or without his female companion may be in jeopardy especially if he had been unfaithful.

Anger and intolerance are enemies of man, was the just of Gandhi’s quote on the subject. Being a non-violent person, it stood to reason that anger would not be the solution to solve the religious divide that he inherited from the British rule where Hindus and Muslims wanted an equal voice in the say of their government.

Cato a Roman poet stated that an angry man “opens his mouth and closes his eyes”. This is true physically speaking as the eyes narrow when one’s mouth is agape in anger as one yells. Metaphorically it can understand as one having no regard at observing the object of his rage and so being blind at resolving the frustration. It is often said it is easier to anger than it is to open ones eyes to discourse and reason.

It will be rather cumbersome to state which one of the aforesaid sins dominate the young generation now and to what extent but yes, the most common is certainly ‘anger’  believed to be fun loving that people get besotted with and enjoy. Why does one get annoyed over trivial issues and then go back and lick the wounds when the anger has subsided? This proves that ‘anger’ is definitely a subject of pleasure – one enjoys repeating this over and again like devouring a sumptuous feast until the next one comes by. Very frequently affected by this emotion are today’s couples who do not trust their relationship and before the final break up ‘anger’ is exercised to seek pleasure to offend, slander and hurt.

 It might just seem that the present generation has put the seven deadly sins out of their minds due to the busy schedule they have got engrossed into. But the fact of the matter is, it still prevails and takes over their daily lives. Take for instance sloth which would generally mean not doing enough or being less useful happens to be a daily routine. The Gen Y although pretend to be busy most of the time, but are in reality, engaged in doing all the wrong things. Given a serious thought, sloth would mean not prioritizing activities. This may not be a big deal but the existence of sloth is so prevalent and the sin being attempted regularly.

Is the Gen Y free of greed? Most certainly not……my colleague has bigger car so I must buy a car to outsmart him/her. Greed overtakes at every step and every minute of the day. Someone has bought a stunning red dress so I must also buy one irrespective whether it would look good on me or not. You choose to eat at a restaurant where the portion served is larger and guess what? Half the food is wasted. The present generation is not only looking for more but seeking more to waste. Greed has definitely not diminished, the want for materialistic things on the contrary has increased with more and more progress in technology that is on offer.

So much for greed, but lust has also not forsaken us. Lust as described in the Bible is “a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished”. Looking at a woman with lust is as good as committing adultery. So, is paying compliment to another man’s wife not a nice thing to do? But this happens all the time. For a man or even a woman, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. This desire of possessing other people’s entity is definitely lust and a total taboo but no one can avoid this sin.

Likewise, envy and pride also govern our life in a major manner. Why are we envious of the next door neighbor of having a better home, car and other materialistic things? Today even the siblings are envious of one another for faring better in the school/college but no effort is made to better oneself. We are often too proud to acknowledge out faults and say sorry to our friends, family and colleagues.  Finally gluttony, as the Bible explains is a misplaced desire of food or it’s withholding from the needy. Gluttony is an excessive desire to consume more than what one requires. The root of gluttony is believed to be lack of self control and therefore today’s generation is greatly affected by this vice because they do not have enough control on themselves. Given the choice, the Gen Y would declare that they have greater control, just because they do what they want to do and therefore are in control but this is not true. Being stubborn is not being in control but simply means not understanding/respecting other’s views.

However, the seven deadly sins that seem to have become even more deadly is still an integral part of our life. If we were less affected, so much of unwanted hostility and carnage from within and outside would not have occurred.

Life is designed to be lived so that we can experience all the wonders around us, and to learn how we can connect to the other elements of our surroundings. When we come to the understanding that our true identity is that of an eternal spiritual being that’s here to temporarily understand  the human experience that we share with other eternal spirits doing the same, then we can not only release the fear of all the worst things that can happen since this experience is like a grain of sand in the ocean of our existence, but we can also release any petty angers that we have toward others for whatever misjudgments they might make in their own personal temporary journey.   

People you know through this life must find different ways to sustain themselves and grow through whatever  career path they select, no matter if it’s a soldier, politician, policeman, engineer, construction worker, or installer of home security systems, they simply want to make the best life they can for themselves and those that are closest to them. Even if we don’t agree or like what it is they do for a living, we have to understand this: what they do for a living is NOT who they are, it’s just what they do, and who they actually are is closer to who you are than what you might think. Deep down we all just want to be happy, and even when we don’t agree with the methods that some people go through to find happiness, the end result is still the same since we share that exact same goals.

The next time you find yourself getting angry at someone, just remember that they might not be as far along on their spiritual journey as you are, and they need to sometimes learn through a few hard knocks that will most often come their way when they are displaying any type of selfishness, and since we know that no single person can exist in a vacuum, then those karmic hard knocks are inevitable.

The next time you find yourself feeling afraid of something, remember this: what’s the absolute worst thing that could come out of what you fear? Most people fear death the most since there’s that unknown factor that doesn’t become apparent until after we’ve passed from this existence, but understand that even science acknowledges the fact that energy never ceases to exist, it only changes form, and since we are all made up of pure energy then we can never die, we only move into our next state of realization.
