We all judge at times, it's kind of inevitable. BUT, how do we respond to that? Most of the time I realise my judging is because of my lack of experience, or my feelings of inadequacy, or plain old jealousy. <br /><br />We all experience negative thoughts, its how we implement them that makes all the difference =)may contain traces of nutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515593299486520875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762461606332627224.post-92201190445167085802011-02-22T19:16:40.242-08:002011-02-22T19:16:40.242-08:00Are there people capable of not passing judgement,...Are there people capable of not passing judgement, truly? I can't relate, at all. My whole life's interaction with people is weighing and measuring them, not them against me.<br /><br />Perhaps it is not so hard a task, but for me, it would never work, end of story.<br /><br />I'm good at hiding judgment in that, "I don't pass judgment" with regards to how I treat them when they share something with me in confidence. But if someone's just showing me their crazy or nasty side, I won't forget it. It doesn't mean I think less of them, but I'm trying to figure out all their variables and tables so I can better handle and understand them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762461606332627224.post-38419938460379613252011-02-22T14:32:42.702-08:002011-02-22T14:32:42.702-08:00lol i love you too nuts.

I'm not just here to give my opinion you know, I'm in this for myself as well. Being able to spill the contents of my head like that is quite cathartic. I'll let you in on a little secret, I actually wrote that after Hurricane Katrina, I found the whole thing really apalling - so yes frantic, overly dramatic if you think so, and maybe a tad of hysteria.<br /><br />All I'm saying about Res(and I actually quite like the guy) that I was a little startled to recieve judgement from him.<br /><br />Oh well can't please everyone I guess.may contain traces of nutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515593299486520875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762461606332627224.post-42671492050955115812011-02-22T00:34:02.416-08:002011-02-22T00:34:02.416-08:00What's your point?

Your u...What's your point? Res killed a kitty?<br /><br />Your underlying statement is not mad. It is your presentation.

Batshit crazy??? Not that it matters, but a fairly strange statement coming from someone who had this conversation:<br /><br />1. I don't have a conscience<br />skype chat recently with a friend I've come 'out' to:<br />GB: so you never feel guilty?<br />Res: nope<br />GB: weird, as an overly emotional person in a negative sense, this intrigues me<br />Res: i experimented when i was about... 10<br />GB: by doing what?!<br />GB: !?<br />GB: ahhh<br />Res: torturing and killing a frog<br />GB: aw, that's mean!!<br />Res: then a bird<br />Res: then a cat<br />GB: noooooo, i have a cat!<br />Res: then i stopped...<br />GB: my cat is awesome<br />GB: how the fuck did you catch a bird?<br />Res: i figured i'd move up the evolved sentience scale in case my guilt only kicked in at some point...<br />Res: i shot it with a catapult. fucking awesome shot<br />Res: the animals were more experimental than about getting a thrill<br />[p.s. I kept the cat's collar for a couple of years as a reminder/trophy, then threw it out one day on impulse].<br /><br />Its not like I have only just stumbled on these ideas, they have been with me for a long time.

This is just the attitude that holds us back. We are actually far better than that, and you know it, as well as I. Clever and cunning? Enough to survive? I am well awakened from my matrix pod, I dont give credit when it's not due, 90% of the human race are sleeping, I'm not one of them.<br /><br />I'm not talking about history, since whe has the past proved a good blueprint for the future? You talk about progress and yet want to compare us to what was. Thats my point exactly. Hitler, Chruchill, Genghis Khan, Ceasar, Pol Pot, Margret Thatcher... Yes lets say we cant do better than any of that.<br /><br />What I AM saying is lets not repeat past mistakes, being so clever and cunning and everything....may contain traces of nutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515593299486520875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762461606332627224.post-34028252309331346272011-02-21T03:07:51.940-08:002011-02-21T03:07:51.940-08:00whoa there nelly, that's a lot of batshit craz...whoa there nelly, that's a lot of batshit crazy spilling out of your head.<br />don't get me wrong i understand the sentiment - like you are trapped in the matrix, knowing you are surrounded by an unreality and you don't understand why others can't see it - but from the style you've expressed it in the men in white coats aren't far away now... keeping a grip on reality is easier than losing it and regaining it, so take care.ResCogitanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098462922178341583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762461606332627224.post-89028638209995626672011-02-21T02:17:53.977-08:002011-02-21T02:17:53.977-08:00I didn't realize there was a peaceful age of u...I didn't realize there was a peaceful age of us, and giving. I guess I must have slept through it.<br /><br />In the last century, the world, and the west, has become no more greedy, no more corrupt, no more distracted, no more hypnotized. Only the means, the stakes, and the public acknowledgment of it all. Having your face in a book or comic is no different than a glaring monitor, and listening to the ball game on the radio is no more arresting than the tele. I've had the "pleasure" of poverty, the "joy" of being well off and now sit somewhere in between. I was more lost to the world when I was humble, more distracted, because I was isolated from it.<br /><br />Stop worrying about other people. You haven't awoken from a Matrix pod, looking at the vast human harvest. You don't pay people half the credit they deserve. Sure, there are true fools and idiots, but can you tell from only your eye? Humans are naturally clever and cunning creatures, otherwise wouldn't be here today.<br /><br />Stepping back is not progress. You can only move forward, and take the bad with the good before the good stagnates from a lack of change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
