Well Patrick . .. I would be being me if I did not be me . . lol. The cars, the people and the structure of America and every country and city are but the *means(effect)* of expression of one's "state of being conscious, their choice of moods", they are not the *cause* of anything of themselves. The tail does not wag the doggy without the doggy being aware of having a tail to be chasing and to be wanting to catch it. If he is sees his tail wagging , he does not need to respond to it by chasing, he can just watch it, enjoy it, ignore it or choose something else altogether more interesting :)
So I don't hold anyone or anything responsible for what I am experiencing but I, as all of it is only the effects of my most dominant "state of consciousness/moods". > *The mood decides the fortunes of people, rather than the fortunes decide > the mood."
