I'll keep on truckin Well today, I went and re-read and then deleted all my blogs that were political. I say political, because that's what people think they were. I never thought so. I found myself to be confusing here for that reason.... I'm just not political enough, to write a blog others consider political. I deal with perspectives, perceptions, and intent, not ideology. Unless the ideology refuses to deal with perspective, perception and intent. Then it appears that ideology will become the issue. I find labels offensive, because in my mind a labels never seems to conform to the person. In some cases even labels that are self imposed. For example it is both self imposed and given by others that sparklefit is an atheist. I don't see it that way.. In many respects sparklefit is more "religious", is more Christian, than a person who labels himself as such, like DanDee. Do I care that sparklefit, agrees with me.. I doubt she does. I'm certainly not trying to ingratiate myself. There is probably a greater chance she would take offensive to it. I know I kind of think off the wall, but that's who I am. I'm not looking for agreement. You can think whatever you want, if you'd just think, instead of assume. From MY perspective, and MY perception, I'm just telling you what i see I have no intent but to tell MY truth. I pretty much have come full circle, with the only thing, I need to ask myself.. Is what the hell am i doing here? I write poetry, poetic satire, and meaningful stuff to me here. I write it because I easily see it has perspectives, perceptions, and choices. I like stuff like that. I thought maybe, I could put that to some use, in the blogs...but it's just useless. I'll keep on truckin, but I think I need to buy a new truck. |

Like i said... I re-read all my so-called political blogs and responses....and one conflict became apparent to me... Lizst and maisie...... Lizst the educator and maisie the researcher. As Lizst stands in front of the chalkboard, a stick in his hand, banging the table, looking for outstretched knuckles, and maise with her nose in the books, trying to cook em.. They see their purpose as educating..... when they don't have a clue of difference between of educating and instructing. Their belief that they have done the work, and that a different perspective or a different perception is incapable of the truth. So why do those "other people" just want to confuse the issues?

Many of you know I work at the IRS..... I'm a Seasonal Permanent, basically it's a six month job. Well for the last couple of weeks. I go in to the office and work for FEMA. When I work at the IRS I work nights. but this gig is daytime. Not too difficult, I just take FEMA Applications over the phone....If you call in... you probably have about a one in a thousand chance of getting me. Anyway two interesting things about the job....First, I never have to set my alarm to get up a 530am. When I get home at 5:30Pm. I don't last but a couple of hours. The reason for that is being on the phone for over eight hours a day. I am more exhausted and sore, just sitting, than I could have imagined. Again it only temporary maybe another month or so... Don't know if I could take anymore than that. Anyway I'm usually up at 3am.. If you wonder why I have been posting so early.

Without adversity there is forward motion. We need people like you, sparklesnit, Maisie, Dan, BB, ET, me and et-el to post blogs of all types to make us think instead of sit and gather dust. Keep on Trucking jiminycricket.

I meant to say without adversity there is NO forward motion.

Careful Maisie... your emotions are showing!  Even if they are only anger and disdain for other members of SFF. It's still emotion...which you seem to deplore in others.I'm sorry you find us lacking in your high standards of what constitutes normal human behaviour, maybe, if you explained more fully what you think "pabulum" is, (such an old fashioned word) we could, some day reach almost your level.  The trouble with that is..."pabulum" is relative to each who views it, so it's hard to define. It can be what you want it to be...being fed a perpetual diet of one thing only is called pabulum. Even politics. This was ( is?) a blogging site, a social site with people, mostly seniors, from all walks of life and ...blogging about whatever they wish...anything and everything, it was never all puppies and grandchildren. Obviously, that's how you saw it...so why did you stay? Why couldn't you find another site...there are plenty of them. I think you stayed because this site gives you and your husband an outlet for your anger and disdain... you so obviously look down on any who don't share your belief in yourselves as being more perfect than we "poor pabulum addicted oldies". The funniest thing is, you are so convinced of your own perfection that you have the nerve to judge and put down everyone else! Especially those you dislike or disagree with. Neither of you actually likes anyone here, you may pander to a few... but neither you knows what friendship really is. You have no empathy whatsoever. Neither of you are young any more...face the fact that you have more in common with "pabulum fed oldies" ...understand that you just have a different kind of pabulum as your diet...and maybe you'll begin to realise that you miss out on a lot of life.

I have tried to no avail, to get the message across, but it just can't be done. There is no room in some for anything but the subject matter. The subject being the specific question or the specific person, and NOT people in general, and it certainly avoids the commonality of people...... (except, of course, when it just a negative about.... the "common'"people) I would not say maisie emotions are showing, I would say she's revealing herself, as an "unchallengeable" person. It's all defensive.,her response is not an attack to her, It is a response retaliating to the "attack" on her. It's our attack, that none of us can avoid. That's not the way we see it.. but it's the way she sees it. When she says "pabulum"... It only means one thing...... as she says it and directs it. You can't make it mean anything else. . The attempt to expand the meaning, only attacks the meaning she intends. It's not just about "pabulum" It's about everything. What i have discovered about myself, Is that I'm a slow learner when it comes to my failures. I very well could have written your response to maisie.. I thought the exact same thing. As I read your response... I did not see it as an attack, but the same different way I look at things.. What I am trying to learn..... is that love, empathy and understanding is for us to give to others, and not expect it, to be given back.

A s I said...you probably have more in common with us "oldies" than you realize. If you saw us as equal to you and liszt, you might find that you are in good company...because most of us here are in the same sort of position as you. We all have to deal with aging and the health problems that inevitably come with it. A little empathy can go a very long way in combatting the degeneration of our bodies. Our bodies may let us down... that most certainly does not mean our brains are less active! But that's how you have treated us here in SFF for the last three years. It's not so much you politics...it's your ( to use one of your favourite buzz words) virtue-signalling nasty attitude. And the blatant insults you throw out along with it. RESPECT HAS TO BE EARNED.

PS...By the way...why do you think I post so many C&P blogs? Because typing is very often difficult for me...other days impossible...that's why! And you choose to ask me if I ever post anything original. The picture you have in your mind of others you know nothing about...is all your own fantasy

Someone told me they believe in the human spirit... Literally not figuratively. And the human spirit goes somewhere after death. I told them.. MY truth...... It is absolute I told them....They can believe in whatever place that is.. because I don't know where that place is...... But I will not disagree with them, if they agree with me that whatever place that is.... WE ALL go there. My absolute truth.....I may not know where we go... but wherever it is..... we ALL go to the same place!
