About me - Garrett Anderson

All who wander are not lost.

I don't list credentials. It's not important.

I let the cards "speak." I love writing and reading- good writing. It is not necessary for me- while beholding the beauty of a mountain- to understand how it came to be.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Problems in America: 1 of 58
Like the crack of a whip in Dallas that day, Our innocence and hope were stolen away, We watched through tears at a young boy's tribute, His head bowed slightly forward in a solemn salute. We moved into Asia to help the oppressed, And saw TV broadcasts of our boys laid to rest, Years of fighting, then fleeing, choppe... More..
Relationships & Family > Relationships & Family (Other) Is your past controlling your life?: 3 of 82
Right now as you read this, you are nothing but a reader. For this instant, you are living in the now. That's where we want to be, in the now. For many of us, the past has a dramatic and inescapable impact on us. We dwell in negative areas, justifying, rationalizing, and becoming depressed. Sometimes we don't even recognize j... More..
Relationships & Family > Dealing with Problem People How to tell if someone is lying to you: 1 of 25
About a quarter century ago, my introduction into the world of deception came with a book by Paul Ekman, "Telling Lies." This was followed by hundreds of hours of training by some of the best "lie-catchers" in the business which included all forms of non-verbal behavior. Non-verbal behavior is in fact far more reliable than a... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Economic Values Why America is in debt: 1 of 24
The world you were born into, the world of debt, was created for you. You were indoctrinated with the belief that "this is the way it is" as though you are a hostage and can do nothing about it. So it is, you came to believe it was true. And thus it was.They provide you with the rules. Get an education and borrow the money fr... More..
Personal Finance > Health Insurance Should government pay for all medical care?: 1 of 24
If in fact we value human life, as we say we do, answering this question is a "no-brainer." It is incredibly sad to see a country like the Unites States waste millions of dollars on campaign advertising, billions of dollars on company and bank bailouts, trillions of dollars on wars, and then say we can't afford universal heal...

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Hate: 2 of 38
Hate is an unconscious choice that your false sense of self has accepted as true. What I'm about to write here is powerful. Acceptance will give you emotional freedom. Non acceptance simply means that you will continue to live your life as you have done. Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the s... More..
Personal Finance > Stock Market Economists' predictions: Is the recession over?: 1 of 15
There is little or no evidence to suggest that this recession is over nor will it be over soon. In fact, there is significant evidence that suggests that this is not a recession at all, but a depression. Be very wary of economists forecasts; economics is known as the dismal science. Gross Domestic Product numbers over the la... More..
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: War: 4 of 56
Private front and center! What are you doing here? This ain't a game for snot nosed kids-who let you in my gate? I'm weeding out the children and those losers filled with fear, You ain't no man-so get out now, accept a cowards fate. Refrain 'Cause this insanity will never stop, We'll always find some more, We'll sacrifice yo... More..
Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Judging: 1 of 13
Exercising good judgment and rendering accurate appraisals based on reliable information can be quite useful. Rendering false or damaging judgments based on assumptions and inaccurate information can be very harmful. In fact, quite often it can be harmful and embarrassing to the person doing the judging. It stands to reason t... More..
Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Why I write: 22 of 254
I write to entertain and engage. I want you to do the same for me. My best writing is an extension of all that I have found that is good. So about the time I submit an article, I inwardly cringe. My best efforts are about to find the eyes of the enemy. Editors, those cruel and inhumane people with a desire to find something w... More..
