Minutiae

Take ownership of the things you say instead of projecting them onto others.

The bold words represent what YOU feel. Not what I feel. You understand?

 

From above the battlefield the proportions seem different. Blood is colorful.
I point out what is the same and what is different. The proportions of our experience must pass through the prism of our own sense of proportion.
The most common sense of proportion is that we are the pawns of circumstance and so unpleasant circumstances continue to be tolerated, and even encouraged.

As to riddles. I do not intend to be obtuse. The mind is naturally abstract.
What happilyinlove has said in effect is that she doesn't enjoy going beyond her comfort zone in using her mind. That is of no consequence to me but what I do object to is being blamed for the narrowness of her comfort zone.

 

I'm not sure it is about justification at all. We can't enjoy a funny angry person for example? Isn't it worth making art inspired by historical violence for instance? Cain killing Able is just one example of acting upon anger in a very unlikable way but still it could make a superb painting. It's not like by accepting the full spectre of emotions as worthy people are also condoning, tolerating or encouraging acting upon it by killing or hurting other beings.

 

No it is not, try to understand? The measure you give is the measure you receive, not my feeling but the axiomatic statement attributed to jesus and newton in, for every action there is an equal and complementary reaction.

Don't get me wrong, what is true for you is also true for me. I take ownership of everything I say, in public. I am not talking about the way I feel, I am talking about the way our feelings, (emotional states) are generated.

You will understand me better if you do not take what I am saying as a personal attack. I know these things upon your reflection make you feel uncomfortable as though they put you personally on the spot but that is only the effect of the verity of what I am saying and not my intent. Although I speak to you my comments are for everyone.

 

We're in that territory now.

People who read too far into things, get all judgey wudgey and speak for others in a very "matter of fact" tone.

You don't know where my comfort zone is. You have talked to me for two days over text. And all the while, you've told me over and over what I'm thinking, where I'm coming from, what my motivations are. Perhaps you should be more concerned with yourself.

You just seem pretentious with the riddles. The way you impose your beliefs comes off as haughty. Rather than deflect this criticism, why don't you internalize it. Think about it, and consider how your words affect another person.

You have a way of weaving insults into riddles.What happilyinlove has said in effect is that she doesn't enjoy going beyond her comfort zone in using her mind. That is of no consequence to me but what I do object to is being blamed for the narrowness of her comfort zone. So you're calling me narrow minded, which is an insult. Are you angry about something?

 

Its good that you explained this of yourself. However, you need to keep in mind, when dealing with others its best to use "I statements" to describe the way you feel/see things. It's not the readers responsibility to assume or infer your meaning. Speaking clearly and concisely is the basis of effective communication. So again, riddles don't serve your purpose.

 

Again, your perspective is one of one who is above the battlefield. You are comforted by reason not in embracing anger.

Anger is part of the complex of fear. The least irritation is the same as the greatest catastrophe differing not in essential content but only in intensity. Anger is the last desperate outlet for the fight or flight reactionary response.
Accepting the full range of emotions in all climes as worthy exactly condones civilian casualties. Anger is useful in proportion to existential threat and in such degree is quickly dissipated by result. The kind of anger promoted here is more an endemic irritation and this is the result of the world not measuring up.

 

Thanks, seems we muddle through regardless.

It is not the readers responsibility to assume my meaning but they do don't they, that is instead of asking questions about about things I've said that they don't understand?

 

I read somewhere that anger is like a stone thrown into a hornet's nest.

 

I speak the way I speak all the time to everyone as often as I speak.
You call me pretentious and we know you are angry about things.
Have you now unraveled all my riddles that you understand me clearly enough to suggest I am calling you narrow minded? I am suggesting you take responsibility for your own impressions, I do not force anything on you.
Kansas didn't give me my voice. I say things matter of fact because it is so.
No reason to embellish. If there is some fact you wish to contend do so on the merits of the claim. That you do not like my style in no wise speaks to what I am saying and says everything about your comfort zone. I do not claim one for you, you claim your own and announce it to everyone in saying I like this and I don't like that.

You have a way of making insult out of humor!

 

It counts for fear as well. All emotions are beautiful and should be embraced and are worthy for inspiration, acceptance and even to indulge in. As long as we are pragmatic no civilian casualties are necessary.

 

Having and being are the same.
Fear is not pragmatic, it is a liar. It's promise, follow me and I will keep you safe, it's real purpose to keep you from going where you will. No prison or fortress has ever kept us safe. I appreciate your beautiful acceptance of all of our potentials.

Certainly people play wheel of fortune because they hope to win at some point.
We have a high tolerance for pain but it is not infinite and you see the effects of this gnawing pressure in things like the discontent of youth or midlife crisis and the whole damn human race is taking far too much anti anxiety medication.

Anxiety is caused by the misapprehension of what is so. The truth sets us free or eases the mind.

For myself I find anger debilitating to the perception of color settling too firmly on the color red.

 

I didn't say fear is pragmatic but we can handle it pragmatic. You called it a complex but it is also just an emotion of course. The best we can do is be pragmatic about it I think and supressing is not always the best It is natural and I guess in general beneficial to be more open for the more obvious positive emotions but yeah if people feel otherwise it might be more beneficial to open up to them. I'm sure you understand I'm not advocating to embrace and give in to feelings of fear or anger in all situations.

 

I don't know what just an emotion might be trying to communicate. The world consists of vibrations and emotion is a type of vibratory sensation. These tones from the greek, tonos, meaning to stretch are the sounds of a composition or arrangement. These arrangements follow the premise of conception, or the thought comes first. Emotion without specific definition is noise, wailing weeping gnashing of teeth or laughter and whoops of glee. Regardless from these tones, vibration reaching toward light, the world gains it's value to us and so proportions appear to us.

It is not a fact of nature that our carefree days should seem few and forever distant. There are three ways matter expresses and that is absorption, reflection, and polarity. In terms of what that looks like to our experience it might go like this, the world substantially controls me or you did this to me, or I am master of my own effects and I can do something about this. The chaotic appearance of things comes from the constantly oscillating polarity between those two positions.

As far as creating the world you would like to see,

all lies in jest till a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest

Take responsibility for all the effects you observe. Do not look for relief from the world, it doesn't give a shit. Cultivate the being in yourself that you enjoy and this produces resonance or large oscillation as the world obtains then your being. A strong or pure signal is the absence of static. We ride waves of emotion and we appreciate it most when we learn to surf.

 

That's BS. Anger is a normal emotion for people to feel that are active participants in the world, society, life if you will. The only people I've come across in my life who don't ever appear to get angry are those lacking ambition, drive, and who stay stoned 24/7 and frequently use psychedelics. And even they have a breaking point.

What you are saying is, to me, not based in reality and also anger is not associated with the fight or flight response - fear is.. ie fear for your life or well being.

And don't take this as anything but constructive criticism, but I understand where happilyinlove is coming from in regard to your verbage. It's extremely convoluted and cryptic yet with glaring 'well if it's not A it must be B' type conclusions.
