Confused?


It seems about perspective.. it will all depend
Is the "sky the limit"?" Without beginning or end.
Can what you believe become appalling
If you simply believe the... "sky is falling"

Can a circle be described by just the "outer' or "inner"
Or a person just described as a "loser" or "winner"
Can you box yourself in..... and logic abides.
When you try to build a box, with only two sides

To make someone's life just an illusion.
of your own values..run by confusion.
And allow yourself to be amused.
To speak of confusion
As to confuse the confused.

It's tiring to deal with.....People trying to justify the unjustifiable.

Reading maisie's diatribes.. of persuasion and justification....that are one sided..and totally designed to keep the driver at bay within her inner circle. How she boxes herself in....The doom and gloom of past and present...That once was to change things and to now to allow them to stay the same... she only sees herself ..as a traffic director...without a vehicle to go anywhere.
And directs those who have no place to go.
but all in all....the goal.. is to make those that have no place go....go nowhere.
People who have a place to go... just drive by.. the misdirection
but those that don't........ she uses that confusion... keeps them driving in circles ...to KEEP THEM CONFUSED.

Is it so hard to understand where I coming from?

I don't care where you go....Be your own person....go there....

In life.. our choices are predestined.... I know you don't believe that like I do.. but here's the deal..... We don't know what those choice are going to be....We believe we have a choice.. and we DO.....WE have the choice.. to accept those choices as defining who we are.
Because those choices define who we are.. they are predestined.. because we can only be .. who we are.
The choices we make are not about things......they are about our own journey of discovery of who each one of us is.... I believe in duality.. so there is no such thing as "good" choices and "bad" choice...there is just choice..and a relative perception. Those 'bad" choices you make.. aren't really "bad" choices.. if you are the one that's making that choice. ...."Bad" choices..... "good" choices.. doesn't matter, they both equally define who you are.

I can't change that.. I can't change YOU....

Maisie is not making "bad" choices....maisie is just making choices..she's defining herself... But the way she is defining herself...is to make your Choices for YOU..That's her choice.......
And that's were I draw the LINE. That kind of disrespect is beyond my acceptability..

maisie is not alone..Where Trump is on acid, maisie's just smoking pot....so there are others just like her.....The irony is that those others will NEVER allow maisie to make their choice for them.. Just like she won't let allow them make it for her.. And the rest of us, minions, are just their battleground...So maisie gets to make her choice...DO YOU?

But I can ask that each of you be true to yourself.. and not be "directed".. Whatever that choice is...I can accept that...

You see, I don't want to change humanity.....I believe in humanity..and in that light..I believe in GOD..

    Quoting  :

Say predestined.. and your mind just goes there..

I denounce Calvinism.. I denounce religion, and in that LIGHT.. I denounce GOD.

Confusing.... isn't it?

Words can be confusing... in your mind predestination.. has more to do with destinations of heaven and hell... than the life you live... Again.... the word predestination to you is about control and direction, because that's what words mean to you..

For me I don't believe in heaven and hell..so predestination..has nothing to do with religion..
whatever created us.. did two things... created us all different...Yet created us all the same...

God, if you will allow me to use that term, gave us ALL humanity.. He gave humanity in different degrees..so that we maybe be able.. to tell what it is.. to those he gave more to.. it was not as a blessing.. and those he gave less to it was not as a punishment.. To God it was all the same.. but it needed to be different.

So God,.. is our humanity.. we all have it... and what we have been given is all the same.
It has to be.....It's by definition of human and by my definition of GOD................. You can differentiate it. you can "label" it..... You can sanctify it....or chastise it.... You can take advantage of it, or you can be taken advantage of...You can ignore it or you can use it....
But what you CAN'T do.... is make it something it isn't....

There is no such thing as Saints and Sinners.....That was created to denounce our humanity. to denounce GOD..not to uphold Him....

To those who believe in the bible.. It's all there....in a jumbled puzzle for you to decipher.
And you call me confused and confusing....The bible is confusing as hell..It's designed that way.. for YOU to put the puzzle together.. GOD didn't write it all.. man wrote the inhumane parts.. man wrote into it.. the contradiction and the confusion.... so you need to decipher what man wrote as a 'story' ....and what God wrote as the idea..
I choose humanity as the idea.. the rest is just a "story"

I have always known there is a big difference between you and maisie..

In her way.... maisie is thoughtful, creative, interpretative .. as long as it goes along with her CHOICE and her PLAN...She's a "debater" who never leaves the podium, and sees a "weakness" in acknowledging the other side.

YOU.. Well, you're just "thoughtless"......

Yet, I have always "preferred" YOU.....I know where you're coming from..maisie just tries to "blindside" everything..

    Quoting  :

You definitely need to figure something out....

This is not a disagreement but attempt to open a door..

It's about "conflict, conflict resolution. and definitions.

What is conflict? Is it just one-sided when someone conflicts with your ideas?
Do you understand who's conflicting with who?

What is conflict resolution? Is winning conflict resolution?

"Republican Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are America's greatest barriers to a higher quality of life."
Someone like maisie, could never say something like that.. her mind doesn't work that way.. Her specificity of terms doesn't allow it.. unless she puts it on the other foot. So to her it's a dumbass statement...
Not to you and not to me.. because we have a different understanding than maisie, of what is a "higher quality of life".
So what you just did.. was to create a conflict..for maisie and Trump supporter to "capitalize" on
I'm using this to answer your question about how I understand the meaning of Rob Reiner's chastising Robert De Niro.. for his comment.. It's the same thing, and has nothing to do with conflict resolution..but with creating conflict and winning.

When one breaks it down... Politics is NOT the issue....It goes way beyond politics..

Once WE can understand that conflict resolution is NOT about winning.. When we understand that conflict resolution.... when it is about winning.. doesn't resolve anything...... then Politics will take care of itself.

WE can WIN battles.. but we can't really WIN the WAR....History has proven..WINNING a war...simply creates another WAR.

Maisie will NEVER understand it...we got to live with that.. but there is hope for You and ME..

Put the shoe on the other foot....if maisie and Trump were to WIN this conflict.. would it resolve the conflict?... Or just give us.. more resolve.. Good people do strange things with that kind of resolve...I'd hate to go there and destroy everything I believe.

    Quoting  :

WE all have our own hypocrisy... within each one one of us .. what we think and how that relates to what we do and say....

when they say old people lose their filters....and speak their mind.. what do think that means? It means .. They no longer wish to live their life in hypocrisy... they do what they think. and reveal the negativity.... they have too long suppressed.. the "filters" have always created or let the positives through.. Old people simply see themselves as having "nothing " to lose.
So hypocrisy is mind protection..the mind's way of protecting itself.

Your hypocrisy is almost unbelievable.. As it doesn't just protect.. it attacks the truth.
the protection becomes the truth. The results become the way of the truth.

You can run, but you can't hide.. the filters are still there but they are whittling away.... For most... I would say look in the mirror.. see yourself for who you are.. You're beyond that.. incapable...
Your ability to recognize hypocrisy in others, and deny your own.. As you tried to do with leaf in this comment..Is not indicative of Leaf's hypocrisy.. but of your own. As you grasp at straws to be 'critical"... I couldn't quite read your meaning to it.. if you were just being facetious or not.. but when came down to it.. It didn't matter.
You were looking for it....you were grasping at straws.. to be critical. That's what runs deep in you....... Just like MY confusion.. is really not about "MY" confusion..

People aren't born to be hypercritical....For You... what it shows is that your own "hypocrisy" has made you that way. It's not about self awareness. just the opposite.. It's avoids self awareness through, self protection, self justification, self promotion, and elitism...

I see the similarities between you and Trump.......What I don't understand.. is your own specific knowledge of it.. How much do you know about yourself, and how much is a reaction to the world around you....If you know...Then in my mind you are truly EVIL.
I believe TRUMP KNOWS... and is truly evil....

His circumstance has afforded him.. the ability to make his own choices... he has been able to choose his path with little interference... In terms of hypocrisy.. he is not subjected to the circumstance of a life.. that NEEDS one to protect itself.. Trump maybe the only person on the planet.. who's NOT hypocritical.. His choice are His choices.. his mind is his mind....and he has no need for filters, not for protection but deception, not of himself, but of YOU....Those choices make him evil.

Maisie, I don't know how evil you are... I don't know the circumstance of YOUR life..I don't how much you CAN realize what you do.....So I give you a pass, on it.
For me.... it's the difference between what I know and what is just a possibility.

Trump supporters are "deplorable"... Hillary said it.. You heard it.

But what did I hear?. I heard a "Label"... that in labels i can Never believe .. I heard an absolute and in absolutes.. I can NEVER believe. I don't believe in Hillary about that ....and I don't believe in YOU about that..

So what I heard was that Trump was deplorable.. and, as such, any of his supporters could be deplorable too.

But here's the rub about You..... First you interpret it as absolute.. a label.. just like you do.. Then you deny it...and you denial is also absolute.

When , in fact... what you're doing....Is not denying it... but making it more true... than even I think it is.
