Diary: "A NEW AGE of LASTING WORLD PEACE!"

Never being one to shy away from controversial issues, today I'm going to write about the understanding of women from a man's perspective. I'm going to be talking about the 21st century, independent, liberated, educated, competitive in the work place woman. I going to bring to the discussion 54 years of experience with women in all phases and walks of life. I have condensed considerable knowledge into just a few sentences of very simple rules that I believe will give any befuddled man the key to happiness with the women in his life. I also think that any woman reading this will, at least inwardly, express gratitude to me for helping men understand these simple realities and smoothing out forever the surface tension between the sexes in our culture in all of our variegated interpersonal relationships. Relationships of every level will benefit from the following wisdom.

I think it comes down to a simple set of ground rules. I'm going to list these ground rules and then draw some practical conclusions for everyone. I'm not trying to start a debate here, I fully intend to end the debate once and for all time with my discovered rules.

First Rule: It's my fault.

Second Rule: it's my fault for not knowing it's my fault.

Third Rule: It's my fault for not knowing "WHY" it's my fault

Fourth Rule: "I am wrong" (simplified and more direct interpretation of rules 1 & 2 & 3)

Rule four can also serve as an affirmation for those men in the throes of practical situational doubt about rules 1,2 & 3. Simply chant rule four and instantly relieve the interpersonal tension with the woman or women in contention.

So there you go men. You can thank me later after you find bliss with all women by putting into practice my hard fought for and finally discovered wisdom.

I think for most men the rules should be self explanatory. I think for others that the rules will become salvational once tried and put in practice by those otherwise at their wits end. After all these are rules, not theories or psycho babble. These are for practical application. So apply them liberally in your life and be amazed at the joy you will receive for possessing and applying such, you'll be slapping your forehead, simple knowledge.

So just in closing with my hard and fast rules in mind, I would like to wish John Edwards and Barack Obama good luck with their strategy of attacking Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Presidential Primaries. I suppose while I am at it, I may as well wish the eventual Republican Presidential Candidate good luck as well as he "debates" with Hillary Clinton in the Presidential Campaign run up to the election in November 2008.

But for the rest of us men out here, let my simple rules untangle the interpersonal knots you may have with the women in your life. I believe on a global scale my rules and wisdom will dramatically cut down the statistics on divorce, domestic violence, abortion, recidivism in all crime, War, racism and Poverty. Alcoholism and rampant drug abuse will all but disappear. This would be the beginning of a New Age of World Peace! When the Sheep lies down next to the Lion. Or something like that.

I consider this my contribution to the Spiritual Evolution of Human Kind. But please, no Statues or Paintings, Scriptures or large Cathedrals in my honor.
