Philosophical rambles

[Recidiva]

That's because some of us are natural seekers. I love to seek out new things. I like to find them in simple everyday things. I love to deeply explore the colors in a flower or absorb life in a small patch of grass.
Animals fascinate me as well. My snakes are amazing creatures, so misunderstood. To just watch the strength of an animal that has no limbs...amazing.

Me too. I tend to get lost in something. Thank it for being a part of my day. Usually can't resist the impulse to touch the bark of a tree.

Yes, touching is good, feeling the vibrations of something old and alive is fabulous. I want to touch Stonehenge and the pyramids. I want to walk the paths of long dead people. I want to see the things that few eyes have ever seen. I want to smell the market places of faraway lands and hear the different languages. I want to taste foods that I have never tasted and drink beverages I never knew existed. I want to talk to the elders and to the children.

We should travel the world together. Mostly when I get lost in a plant and I say reverently "I wonder what that plant's name is" my husband will say "It's a weed."

I like weeds.

I forgot to mention dancing in the streets...one must dance now and then.

Weeds can be beautiful as well. I like when the kids pick weeds for me, I put them in water.

Maybe finding mundane beauty everywhere makes me less appreciative of fine art.

You need to change your thought patterns then.

Or go to more museums. Mundane is everywhere, y'know.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Museums are a good start, the Dali' museum is in St. Petersburg I think, you should make a pilgrimage there for me.

I'll just check my melty clock for departure time.

Don't forget the ants.

 

[Recidiva]

Don't forget the ants.

Never. They provide me with insight.

I have a tough time with surrealism. But then again, I think so did Dali.

 

[JackHarrison]

My philosophy: until you know "Jack" about me, don't bloody well judge me!

Of course, no one has done that yet, but it's a useful rule of thumb.

If you can dream you will get it.

Well, I like people with senses of humor, so my filter is skewed.

What may look like judgment is ribbing, like tickling someone's ribs.

If they're ticklish, they laugh and they have a sense of humor.

If, however, they slap me and say "Get off me you judgmental bitch!"

They don't like tickling. So I get off them. *nods*

I have a thought experiment for everyone who thinks this.

Try to think your hair a different color. Hell, it's right on your head, should be easy if thought has that much impact on your environment, right?

I still picture myself as blonde even though it's been a few years since I went back to brunette....I'm going for red now.

 

[JackHarrison]

Bloody interesting replies! Oddly enough, I like that cigar AV. Probably because they remind me of Churchill. Not the girl. She is FAR too pretty to resemble Sir Winston. But the cigar.

How much longer are you going to let others decide where you place your energies?

I wanted to call it an aphorism then I thought of adage but those word's definitions include that other word; truth. There's no truth to it. To what? To this:

Don't get mad, get even.

We're talking about revenge. Apparently it's a dish best served cold. Don't react emotionally and strike out at the time. Stew in your own juices for as long as you like. Spend hours of your day plotting when you could be screwing or surfing or drinking or reading or writing or making lists with more than three items.

They did one thing to you, on the spur of the moment (or even spent their free time constructing the event) why are you willing to let them decide how to spend your spare time?

Imagine. Some random guy (or gal) accosts you in the street and asks that you spend an increasing amount of time, each day, thinking about Jesus, or your sat scores, or the homeless, or celestial mechanics or how to make your life 'better' in innumerable ways. Just how short would be the shrift you gave them?

For one act, for several such acts, stealing your girl/boy, making you look bad in front of the boss, taking your parking space, Why are you going to let them design your waking thoughts in plots to do them down? In revenge?

You couldn't have been the boy/girl that your girl/boy wanted at that time. Are you going to mope and plan or go get another, win him/her back?

You look bad to the boss, why didn't you think of the put down of all time, show the boss how it was your idea to begin with, let your record speak for itself? Are you now going to spend your productive life mounting an email campaign, spreading rumours or are you going to do what you're paid to do; your job!

So you have to walk another hundred yards to the front door, are you going to take it as healthy exercise (you know you don't do enough anyway) or are you going to spend minutes and hours of your life that you're not getting back bitching and complaining and plotting revenge for a momentary feeling of smug satisfaction? Schadenfreude.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure you didn't do it by power of thought.

Though you'll be adorable in any color.

Why thank you I like cigars, I would have gotten along with Sir Winston...we would laugh a lot.

So you're telling people not to let people tell them what to do in an unsolicited manner?

Interesting.

When I am an old woman, I'm dying it purple.

They fuck me over, I shag them right back. "Let Each Man Be Paid In Full", as the old Irish proverb goes.

And he damned well wouldn't said the things to you that he said to Lady Astor.

It's a lovely AV, really. Is that you in it?
