Pondering Thread

ABSTRUSE · Mar 8, 2007

Unlike my rambling thread the pondering one is a place to come to when you are pondering something and want to share. I ponder a lot, over many things. Winnie the Pooh is my pondering muse. I especially enjoyed him in "The Tao of Pooh", one of my fav books....which unfortuately I can't find right now.

Think of this as a mini-blog spot.
Share a thought.

No replies are needed.
Just some Pondering.

Today I'm pondering words.
How they effect/affect us. Written or spoken.
Their meanings and such.

I'm pondering an adapted Brigitte Bardot quote:

"I gave my beauty and my youth to women. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.”

I think I'm going to adopt something.

I'm pondering the choices not chosen.

I wouldn't recommend it....t'is a dreary ponder.

What is the meaning of existence?

I ponder that every God damned day.

There isn't any. God just has a twisted sense of humor.

That thought had occurred to me as well.

I am pondering how names, nick names and handles influence the perceptions I have of people and how those change when my moods ebb and flow.

The purpose of beautiful cages, is ultimately, betrayal. They're deceptive. Attractive little prisons that trap that which was free before. When you're in a cage/ confinement, you're reliant on others for food, shelter and love, which is the ultimate vulnerability.

There is a kind of a symbiotic relationship that develops between the Keeper and the Kept, which at times can be mutually beneficial.

To a certain extent, we all do that when we enter a relationship with someone. " Look what I can offer you" - whether it's intentional, or not. It's not necesarrily about impressing someone. It's showing who you are and what you are. It's then up to the other person to try you on and see how you fit.

Yet, in most relationships, we don't carry the role/ responsibility of the Keeper and the Kept. That's just a little something I was pondering because of a previous discussion. The themes have somehow fused, for me.

Vulnerability & Betrayal <------- Still pondering this.

That is not worth the time it takes to ponder. Just go with the flow. :rose:

Musing

Just posted on the thread wrt Vulnerability and Betrayal....and it got me thinking about where I am at the moment.

For me, to love is to adopt a pose of vulnerability - to give the other the option of freely choosing their path. In fact, to love means to work with that person so dispasionately as to encourage them in a course which allows them to walk a path without me, if that is the path which appears the best.

I hope always to love for the good of the other, to give them the best.

Somehow, life makes more sense that way...

ps - I am re-reading theTao of Pooh. Such a brilliant book.

I was pondering, "What is God's religion?"

Now, I'm pondering on the above. Think I need to listen to Sting's "Soul Cages" and have a good sob.

I do tend to overanalyze things, so in a sense you're right. However, I believe life demands critical thought.

You need to read the Tao of Pooh.

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?"

"I think so, Brain. But where are we going to get rubber pants our size at this time of night?"

I am pondering if i affect people, and if so how.

DO i affect people like they affect me or am i just overly sensitive (not in an emotionally negativeway) to what people say, need, do and how i might try to fill any cracks they may have.

I can't explain it.

As much as i ponder it, i do doubt that my affect on others is as substantial as the one they have on me.

Like Abs said in the 2nd post- the meaning of words and how they affect us. Words have a huge effect on me.

*ponder*

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

"I think so, Brain, but... Kevin Costner with an English accent? I dunno."

Salvor-Hardon · Mar 8, 2007

Darn, I had a good ponder going on, and then all those Pinky and The Brain lines got me laughing.

Ok I'm starting over.... "My name is......"

rgraham666 · Mar 8, 2007

Thank God for Google!

I can fill my Pinky and the Brain fix.

Now off to YouTube to overdose.

I have very little that's deep to ponder at the moment, other than a joy in seeing people I love to ponder with.
