The polarization of the people

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.

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!
