Bipolar Sagacity Volume 10: Integrity Versus Faithlessness

By Thomas D. Sharts M.Ed

Bipolar Sagacity Volume 10 continues with the theme of the first book: Bipolar Sagacity and underscores the profound bipolar spiritual, psychological and social struggles a person of introspection experiences as he/she travels throughout the stages of the adult life cycle. This life, both past and present, witnesses to the fact that many people of astute perceptual skills, religious faith, and intellectual knowledge live lives of great contradictions - those bipolar experiences that challenge the very essence of sanity. Yet in truth, the commentary in this book - whether sayings, ruminations, lamentations, exhortations, aphorisms, or questions - encapsulates what it means to be human as a cognizant and vibrant living adult; whether as celebrated through supplications, acknowledgement of thanks, discovered truths or founded wisdom, or by experiencing all the human fallibilities and negative perceptions associated with powerful emotional states such as confusion, fear, anger, jealousy, etc.

For those of us who creatively fill-up the page, that’s the miracle of our day. TS 19

You cannot be well or get well if you’re in perennial heartbreak. TS 19

The holy man being executed is the prodigious tragic loss for humanity. TS 19

Wishing for love and understanding to deluge your life is a taller order the older you become. TS 19

Poverty begets a lot of social and psychological problems and the truth of that fact shouldn’t be dismissed. TS 19

And how many of us are saying: Find me a place to go that’s better than this shit-hole! TS 19

Expecting generosity from those in poverty is an ignorant atrocity. TS 19

There are some people who you really don’t know what they’re thinking about quitting, and soon, you’ll have to do some bidding to keep them from shitting-away a good opportunity. TS 19

Lies are the mortar between the bricks of social chaos. TS 19

For some people, it’s a slow wait until lights-out - that in the meanwhile - is filled with a lot of doubt. TS 19

The holy man trying to be understood might as well be a static piece of silent wood. TS 19

The greatest earthly burden the holy man has is his perennial social aloneness. TS 19

The patience derived-out of misery that transforms the living soul is priceless. TS 19

Three sayings a day keeps the psych doctor away and spiritual devolvement at bay. TS 19

The genius totters upon the precipice of insanity or vanity and some survive and some unfortunately take the lethal dive. TS 19

The man that tells too much truth is relegated to a social life of living like he’s in a telephone booth. TS 19

For some incompetent/charlatan doctors who wear the white coat – every day is Halloween. TS 19

Ya dee, Ya dee, Ya dee said the redundant egocentric man who consistently continues to exemplify the person with his head up his ass – while in the meanwhile – others stand by and just shake their head. TS 19

The genius of genius is putting forward the details of what is known into clarity of purpose. TS 19

Healthcare solutions for the older person are like the bicycle tire tube that has been patched countless times. TS 19

Stand-in the cultural gap for commonsense and hence maybe the next generation becomes less dense or less tense or less inclined to capitulate to pretense that is utter nonsense. TS 19

Lord, many have faithfully run the race of perseverance so let their reward go beyond first base. TS 19

Some people’s epitaph truly should say: Here lies another victim of mass 21st century boredom. TS 19

Maybe if you act kind toward someone it might help him unwind; unbind; curtail his willingness to resign; motivate him to refine or redesign; accept your invitation to dine; or maybe consider all in life that is fine while walking the fortitude line. TS 19

Take care socializing your tots so they don’t go to the waste side and end-up with the lot of three hots and a cot. TS 19

The man that’s imparting light and knowledge as his social mark shouldn’t end-up living in a tent in a city park. TS 19

The man putting justice and knowledge forward for the Lord on behalf of people living in various community wards shouldn’t have to be relegated to living in an abandoned junked Ford with nothing to look forward toward. TS 19

People that have wealth have the luxury to collect their toys and procure a nice place to live in peace void of inane noise. TS 19

Almighty God’s unwillingness to remove unjust suffering is unacceptable and hateful, yet, who can effectively do anything about it? TS 19

No one can contest with Almighty God because that soul will surely lose. TS 19

Being a sage in a world that’s perennially in a rage is like living in a cage where the heartbreak never forsakes. TS 19

A life surrounded by no living light eventually loses its might to continue doing what’s right and that fact leaves a serious social bite such as being perennially uptight and having no will to fly a kite. TS 19

The people that cannot be led are usually the one’s putting bullets in other people’s heads or self-destructing and going to the CEM. TS 19

Learn to say Hello or end-up as a lonely piece of leftover jello. TS 19

The man whose truth is viewed as too-hot-to-handle doesn’t serve as the community’s candle of light, but rather makes lying leaders uptight or full of irrational fright. TS 19

Unfortunately doing the so-called right thing doesn’t mean social life around you will change for the better – if anything – it could grow worse and history bears-out this truth for all it’s worth! TS 19

So much beautiful poetry composed regarding life derives out-of-strife or being madly in love with a wonderful wife. TS 19

Truth thrown-out fuels the fire of doubt and increases those populations of people who we call louts. TS 19

If you want to save yourself and no one hears you yelp, then you might as well be on the top of the Swiss Alps. TS 19

If you’re suffering and there’s no miracle a-coming – then it’s more than likely you’re a bumming and your life is barely a running or so-called a-humming. TS 19

The so-called Christian friend that has forgotten you and some other few, might really be an asshole too! TS 19

The holy perfect patience of Christ few souls ever evolve into. TS 19

It’s time to end this debacle life charade and finally get paid so I can hire a competent and dedicated maid. TS 19

The man who ran his full-life race imbued with complete grace has no legacy that will go to waste. TS 19

The man that can extensively and patiently wait through what is unjust while not making a fuss is truly great. TS 19

Ask Almighty Father God to heal all of the historical hits your body has taken so you’re not blown to psychological bits and utterly forsaken. TS 19

Pray for the might and patience of Christ so you don’t have to live in unbelief always rolling the dice. TS 19

The people that have exercised the courage to be under a constant test and have consequently become the best - deserve a peaceful home to rest. TS 19

Before you pack-it-up and fold, make certain that your soul is at peace with your failure and/or success with all of your life goals. TS 19

If your Mom and Dad think all of what you care about is heinously bad, then that’s pretty sad if the majority of people that befriend you do so because you make them pretty glad! TS 19

Sometimes, it’s truly difficult to get people to do what you want – especially an immature/egocentric debutante. TS 19

Pray to Father God for the power to sustain the daily social pain that has the power to spiritually drain as authored by the ignorant souls who are vain. TS 19

I’m in a social prison subjected to daily derision wondering whether Jesus was really risen? TS 19

Almighty Lord God, shower the faithful with power so they never have to cower but instead can stand and tower! TS 19

During the final judgment, many will cower and few will tower. TS 19

Those imprisoned by what is continually unfair are subjected to spiritual, physical, social, psychological and vocational wear and tear while multitudes surround and do not care; however, they can become overcoming people with the strength of a bear and dispel habitual despair by eating a Vitamin C juiced-up daily pear. TS 19

At Thanksgiving Dinner, how do you tell your extended family that you’re working at the Center for Healthy Sex in Los Angeles? TS 19

Some people are not wishing you well but would rather that you go to hell. TS 19

And where are my dead former professors now? TS 19

The Dumb-Dumb ain’t going to improve any categorical sums, but he just might become a bum who drinks too much rum causing him to be addicted to sucking-on Tums. TS 19

It’s sometimes hard to believe what Almighty God has up his sleeve, yet all we desire for is for the meanwhile back at the ranch suffering to leave. TS 19

Our food abuse is our own self-destructive noose. TS 19
