Default Re: Last Try (I suspect, in vein. Hope I am wrong.)...

Problem is I don't squirm. I'll stand here and stick to my word, no matter how many people gang up and abuse me. That doesn't make me the one with the problem. It makes anyone who joins a mob to beat on a sole person the ones with the real problem.
The problem is that you have very good intentions, but you are steering away from your own goal unconsciouly and won't even consider the possibility of being wrong. Of course you will come out and say you didn't say that anywhere in your post. That is true, you didn't say it... But you DID it. It is what stands out in your posts. It's not the words you use, it's the way you use them. You use them negativly, you might not see it, but it is only because you don't allow yourself to see it.

Just BE. It doesn't matter what others think of you, even if they are wrong about what you are saying. IT DOESN'T matter what others think of you. You say you don't care about what others think about you, but you go on and say they HAVE to change their perception of you.

Do you realise the implications of that contradiction? It makes your arguments very weak. Because arguments are like a house of cards, and all those contradictions in your argumentation are like missing cards in the structure. A good argument isn't complicated, it FLOWS in the same direction. It doesn't have to be complicated. Complicated arguments are often based on flimsy conceptions and the complication comes from trying to patch up the holes. You should not have to patch things up, it should just flow.

Your problem is that you care TOO MUCH... I know you care about the world arround us, and that we are under attack. We realise this... but fighting fire with fire will only create more fires. You can't stop war with war. The only way to win the game is not to play it. By declaring war you are creating more war, not helping it end.

I was like you before, I cared too much. But then I realised that you CANNOT change others, you can only change yourself and repeating the same things over and over again won't make the others change. Realise that. You are wasting your energy fighting, when fighting only equates in more fights. Stop fighting, create something new that renders the previous system obsolete, don't fight the system.

Here is something that I read in a thread on this forum wich helps see what I am trying to say. Credit to that person, don't remember exactly where I got it from..

Being in the mindset of I am nothing, I know nothing keeps me available to everything, and keeps the ego from attaching itself to form and matter, opinions and predominently left brain thinking.

ps. excuse my english... I hope I was clear enough and that you don't perceive this as an attack. BTW I did read all your initial post and all the posts after that, and I am on topic incase you say I am not

Sending you all my love,
MadSheeple
