In memory of albert einstein- the theory of relativity
Truly all states are relative to an observer. i hear everyone want to prosper in life- to get a good clean job and or career and begin to grow and observe the world around them and enjoy it as much as possible at all moments. Surely i have heard almost everyone i met in my travels not have a thought of becoming a garbageman- or trash collector. but here it is- Relativity- where you find yourself taking out the garbage to the curb to be picked up by a nobody in the eyes of most people on a weekly basis- I have found one the most enjoyable events of my life. I have always since the age of 17 purposely pushed the limits of both physical and mental endevours- so upon my late evening run ending close to my home i observe a person slightly jogging back and forth across the street picking up garbage--------hmmmmmmmmmm- i say----- immediately i do the calculations- he must do at least several thousand homes per night- where if you wanted to - you could sprint house to house and retrieve a mass of weights in between. this looked like a very interesting way to expend a large amount of energy. by the next day i was in the offices of the local city garbage company called BFI at 18 years old. I come from a very good middle class home- my intentions were simply to them i dont want money- just let me on the truck -i will do the rest- for insurance purposes they could not- so i was on the books- and my adventures began- it was a strange phenomenon i ran into- for i quickly found a small percentage of people in this company with the same mentality- i remember a favorite partner-Tony Terrell- he was a priest from the nearby town of Bethlehem which borders my town of catasauqua- this guy loved to jog a great deal- but also- money was also an issue for him- obviously not a large parish to support him- nevertheless- there were several individuals like Tony and myself that in which by the 2nd month we weeded everyone out off the company that did not run hard- i mean we made it like the Olympics- at least 10 separate crews per night would take a truck and hit the city- who ever got back first would get the better truck as your was driven off to the landfill to empty- we get a new driver and truck and finish the job- in the summer grass and so much from more activities of a summer usually took 2 trucks and sometimes three- a solid 6-8 hours of intensive running we made it- i was also blessed along with Tony the priest and several others to be very healthy- so the top three to come back always got a good second truck and ability to get home sooner.
Relative right- a state of mind- where i have no reason whatsoever with money and good family to do the most detested job most people agree on- and yet- i seen no garbage whatsoever- i seen 7-10 miles of running full speed- i seen 5-10 tons of weights everywhere- refrigerator/couches/stoves--everything went and i threw it myself-
This is my relative view of such a position- as i look back on my life of recent events which have formed my opinions. NO QUESTION everything was meant to be- everything was for a purpose- you see- what i found there running behind a truck off and on for 6 years during my early college years at my own free times- WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE FORCED TO WORK THIS POSITION- i met so many people at the bottom of Maslows pyramid. very poor people-half were ex convicts fron prison -and they were the toughest for what transpired at this company was some kind of gladiator environment- and only the healthiest and strongest could keep up- i remember just like marine corps bootcamp- a good percentage couldn't handle it and simply walked away- i have met the toughest people this planet holds- from the military- to the backs of garbage trucks and so called criminals that couldn't find any other job because of a system in which if you dont have money-or good network in family- or friends- YOU WILL FALL THRU THE CRACKS AND HIT THE STREETS-
what i have observed.
1. all human beings are great- born perfect as a child with the ability of love creativity-imagination
2.the growth of a child is a function of nature and nurture: nature that it is a function of being born healthy which makes up a large part of our relative state- if we see someone born without a leg- we immediately understand a genetic defect and have patience and understanding- but the same argument is for the child born seemingly perfect on the outside has some mental issue which causes a mental instability- maybe even rage and temper and many actions of a good part of human beings- sometimes we find medicines for these people as children and let then grow under medication in order to alleviate the mental condition-NURTURE- if a child is not nurtured with good love and attention and proper diet will also have a negative impact--the growth of a child is a function of both nature and nurture
3.the state of a civilization and its care for the lowest level of maslows pyramid- because there is not yet the perfect system of care in society to provide a base for people to live above the base level of maslows pyramid- many children live in conditions of poverty and neglect- i see them in many inner cities and behind the garbage truck
4. these phrases we like to label people as convicts-bad people- and such- are merely people like you and me- we are all alike- i am sure there are plenty of rich politicians with many skeletons in their closet- but good money for lawyers to erase tracks- the poor people cannot erase tracks- they make a mistake once- and a record is upon them in which they are left to run the garbage trucks of life- it is being in this situation which continues the level of anger among them
5.to call these people bad-or evil is wrong- for i am sure their own mother or father would still love them - as i am sure any normal parent would love their child no matter what- AND THIS IS GOD TO ALL HIS CHILDREN-
6. we may judge others to be lesser than us- but the parents above understand the mechanism of why some people do bad things in the first place to get in trouble
7. Everything has a reason- everything has a purpose- and everything can be explained- there is no evil- but ignorance- there is no bad person- but sick and neglected ones. some day the world will fully understand all problems are by our own actions- and a society will be reborn in thought to fully understand it is up to us as an individual to treat everyone with the utmost of respect- and when we are healthy and of means it is our duty to help the general welfare of our communities- for in doing so- it also ensures your own existence-
8. Civilization has reached a point in its growth in which global connectivity reduced all borders of the earth to within hours of travel- to grow further as a race we must fully understand our place in this universe-
9. we are made in the highest form of evolution- we are spirits of great compassion creativity imagination and ability to love- and yet- most of us believe in two sides to a story to balance the equation-DO NOT TAKE IT TOO FAR- there comes a point to be logical and aware of our surroundings and place under the realm of greater powers in this universe-
10. we are to unite as a race of people eventually- the framework of such is to begin now in conscious thoughts and subsequently action- a world system in which there is unlimited unrestricted health care for all people- free from armies and war whereby the great surplus of energy expenditure in the military and costs of prison systems and much more can be integrated together to form employment opportunities and jobs for many in order to build the infrastructure of a healthy society- there is no reason whatsoever all parts of the world cannot be built up to the living standards of the best society- it is only our desire to do so-
11.BUT MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY-the children must be taught to be exceptional good to one another- to not be prejudice- to not be a bully- to care for another as the words of jesus and many of all nations of wisdom have instructed to. it will be in our supervision as adults to teach the children a far greater way to live is merely what we teach them-
this is but a small example of what will naturally occur when a society has mastery over the elements and has the energy to fuel a society with guidelines in order to prosper- unlimited and clean energy to mother earth shall initiate an age of unity- all of it given by the powers above
Finally- to give this story justice- in the words of Gary Kareyva, MY friend since elementary school and got him hooked on the truck- 'ITS NOT GARBAGEMAN- ITS TRASH ENGINEER"
Also- quick funny note- the first night i took gary on the truck- there is a place for an individual to hang onto each side of the truck near the back of the truck. we were hanging on each side as we were traversing several blocks to another destination- I love the way Gary tells the story- but its something like this----it was several hours of running trash on Garys first night with me- we both hopped on the truck -hes on the right back end- I'm on the left- Garys shakes his head and he is saying to himself- HOW THE HELL DID I GET MYSELF INTO THIS- how did I let Sammy talk me into this- as he was having these disgusting thoughts about running behind a garbage truck- he heard voices from the left side- he knew it was me egging him on with something as usual- he was disgusted for what he was doing- he kinda didn't care what i was trying to tell him- so he said very reluctantly he did lean his body back a foot or two and turned his head to the left to see what noise I am saying from the other side of the truck- when he did- an awakening for him- it was his golden moment to see from a totally different view point- not just what the majority sees- I WAS NOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRUCK- I WAS SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOPPER- A LARGE STEEL BEAM RUNS THE HORIZONTAL TOP IN THE BACK WHICH CONTROLS THE WHOLE DOOR- AS THE TRUCK WAS FLYING THRU THE STREETS OF THE CITY- I WAS DOING PULL UPS- I SEEN GARYS FACE- I LOOKED HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE AND SAID- "ISNT THIS GREAT GARY" WITH A VERY LARGE SMILE ON MY FACE- Gary woke up in an instant- he immediatly realized in a flash- we were together- no boss telling us what to do- running like extreme athletes in the middle of the night having fun sprinting over cars at times- yelling all night GO-and PACK IT to the driver so he keeps up with us as we want that truck exactly even with us as we ran house to house-
I have a great time everywhere I go- its a state of mind- its how you see it-not how others see it-its all Relative
