Sorry... I mean, congratulations... you won't be needing that.

You don't need to sell out in order to grow up.

Selling out and maturing never ever overlap in any way other than in sick evil faking conformity. Selling out human rights for any reason isn't mature or maturity or being mature. Maturing and maturity aren't selling out or anything sold out.

It is society that lies to us telling us that maturity and selling out sometimes have to overlap. No one needs that any more... It serves no one...no one's survival or well being on any level...  Not even the bullies' ... Not even short term.

Ethics versus ethics... Selling out versus selling out... Maturity vs. maturity... Sentience versus sentience... Brother on brother, lovers at each others' throats... Maturity versus selling out and vice versa... People vs. God...  will soon be entirely a thing of the past. There will always be fun little conflicts forever to work through but nothing bad. And people versus God was only ever true in the "God sent us on our voluntary chosen enthusiastic way to forget in order to find ourselves further and each other and God further to make us remember to remember no matter where we are." 

May you get that opportunity as soon as you crave it, to do the dancing in the dark exercise, in order to prove to yourself what you can do with limited resources, to recognize that they are a doorway to infinite ones.

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!
