You aren't brainless if you're liberal after a certain age or heartless if you're conservative before reaching a certain age. That's a propagandist saying meant to dehumanize and divide.
When I was a small child, I had little interest in things society considered fairy tales and fantasy that kids my age were into... I had more interest in things considered hard science. People thought I was heartless, brainless and wierd because of that. Heartless because I seemed so disconnected from God and souls, and brainless because oh, didn't I see the connection and the merits of considering these things... at least to fit in? (THAT is a brainless heartless statement.)
When I got older, the script flipped. Everyone around me was into "reality" and "the real world" and I was into spirituality, which they considered too pie-in-the-sky and fantastic to be true or practical enough to think about. Again, those people thought I was brainless and heartless and wierd. Brainless because I "wasn't being practical," and heartless because "religion makes people self-absorbed rather than making them help people." (Again, THAT is a brainless heartless statement.
But nobody here was ever brainless or heartless... or wierd or normal.
I was around the wrong people for me. They knew I wasn't one of them either... the wrong person for them.
I had to go elsewhere to find my people. And those others before were glad to be rid of me, even though I never harassed them and tried not to bother them, tried to keep to myself (because I knew we wouldn't understand each other-- we weren't compatible).
I found a lot of them. As in, those I'm MEANT to be closest around. Around the same time I remembered on a more conscious level that no one is brainless and heartless, but the idea that anyone is brainless or heartless IS brainless and heartless. It's the only thing that is. And that no one is wierd, or wierder than anyone else in any general sense. Everyone has their place. And in their true real place, they are not wierd.
Your own people never had to acquire a taste for you. If you haven't met them yet, then when you do then you won't truly have to ACQUIRE any taste for each other at all. Our people are those we have always been with, from forever into and out of the infinite non-beginning of time. We'll always find each other again and then be with them forever. So we have the same nature from the same nature and experiences... the same nature from having the same experiences and the same experiences from being of the same nature.
No one is too high and mighty, or too unusual, or too low down to have a type. Not in that sense.
