Otherwise, you end up a parody of two jerks - These people, inventing or misusing the past, care more about their own feelings than anything in reality - What's the meaning? - Keep all the people frightened and they'll do what you say - Brain fog: Being crabby and cranky - They're wipeout specialists - Great people! - "What are you doing? Get a job!" - Tell the little part of you you're going to wipe out the people who are attacking you - Do it yourself; you can't depend on anything else - They're wicked, and it's worse! - They don't even know it.

REFLECTIONS

BEWARE: GOOD MANNERS
can turn HEALTHY, HONEST
CHILDREN into VICTIMS

Our minds are vast, and the unconscious parts of our bodies can learn and grow. Unfortunately, fragmented muscular tensions host thousands of unresolved insults which persist embedded in the flesh like ticks. As we move though life like trained dogs, we generally don't feel them, but woe to the person who scratches! Anger and confusion and eyes getting a bit blurry? A rose for the sleepy ------<----@

 
 
 

A person can learn precise ways of responding to insults much as children spend the better part of a year mastering the art of "Thank you," "You're welcome," "Excuse me," and "I'm sorry," though good manners lead to a kind of slavery: Staying subservient, remaining cool, or being good. But do mean people deserve our good manners? Let's try to be bad. What will happen? We can lose our job, become generally undesirable, unlikable, and desolate. Not wonderful. Is there another way? Perhaps we can raise just enough tension at the precise moment an insult begins to safely brush it aside. That is, we can defend ourselves. Polite people are afraid to defend themselves because they never learned how to raise tension without magnifying hostilities. There's a lot to be said for avoiding a fight. It reduces stress, conserves energy, and helps calm everybody down. However, it also leads to a nation of stooges who follow orders with no choice.

We have an incomplete education. Our parents, teachers, and older siblings were concerned first with our not being an embarrassment, and maybe not at all with our individuality, happiness, and self-understanding. They didn't want omnipotent one-year-old angels or rampaging two-year-old defenders of honesty, so they helped us bury ourselves alive. That's the horror of the situation.

On Beauty

In old Russia, a beautiful peasant girl picked
wild flowers by a country road.

She heard the hoofbeats of distant horses.

When the Czar's knights rode by,
they saw the ugliest crone they had ever seen,
hunched over a basket of flowers.

 
 
 

As hoofbeats faded,
her coarse beauty transmuted into glory once again.
