Answering a question with a question(s) indicates that you've already expended your best in the way of creativity. I have no further use for you. Bye.

......as if I was answerable to you :O

Now now, wanderer. You're taunting the idyllic Sunnybrook Farm thing.

An unexamined life is not worth living. I hope you keep putting your thoughts down and sharing them. I find your writing intriguing and thoughtful.

Now, please to post moonbeams and butterflies, so that we can all be in our happy places again. :p:

:3eye:well said Shawnee :)
I never pulled out the guns in the first place anyway.

MAGICK!

I know. Tell 'em if they don't like your posts, don't read them! That's always been the advice to me, anyway. I'm not sure how far it extends. :D

I read this response earlier. My thought was that I always knew you had a good heart.

Well thank you sky. I work on steeling my heart, especially in the anonymity of the interwebz, and with the realization it took me way too many years to come to: that most people will hurt you if given the chance...and so I often go way to the other side as I try to find the middle. But, it's all me, in my complexity and in my mediocrity, and it's all honest.

We protect ourselves. We also give of ourselves, tentatively, and we find opposition and we find caring. One can't know if one is giving part of themself to a beast, until the beast rears its ugly head. For me, the beast-head needs to be destroyed. If we give to an angel, we are rewarded tenfold...and we just want to give more.

That's how I live my life anyway. As we talk about integrity I think how important that trait is to me: none of us are perfect, but I have no time nor room for liars, cheats, and thieves. Those of that kind I've let into my life have a way of sticking around far too long, because in their dishonest mind everything that happens is about them...and they manipulate me even as I hurriedly try to put up another wall. I'd rather have an honest person tell me to go fuck myself, than have a liar tell me I'm perfect. When a liar tells me to go fuck myself...well, there's that beast-head again. ;)

hey shaw.... go fuck yourself!










;)

:lol:

Fair enough!

:rolleyes:

When you figure out truth as it relates to peoples anonymity online let me know.

For the most part were all shooting in the dark. We all make sweeping generalizations and assumptions.

It's impossible to look into the eye of the text and know the truth about someone.

Though the lines are often blurry, blatant lies are blatant lies. I can't be sure that even my best friend isn't lying to me (right to my face IN REAL LIFE), but I can make that assumption based on my experience with that person. I assume honest until proven otherwise, then ALL bets are off. This initial assumption can be trouble. But, as I said, sometimes you find an angel of sorts. Not your winged happy little haloed angel, but an honest forthright person. This is why I don't assume dishonest and wait to be proven wrong, because of the glimpses of integrity (and because I have to try so very hard not to assume everyone is a liar, or I'll never get close to anyone.)

Yes, I assume honest. You get a clean slate starting out with me. If you're an inherently dishonest person, it'll come to surface soon enough. I'll be sad but wiser, but I can say I tried, and I can say I didn't lie about a goddam thing.

So what you just posted, though true, is exactly the generalization I was speaking about: the "poo-poo" of people who just fucking showed up and haven't even had a chance to fuck up yet. :lol:

And no, I don't mean you.

If I get a bit of wrath on ya, just wipe it off and keep moving. :p:

well I have my own personal filters to process things with. It is up to me if I like what I see or not.

Where you saw awesomeness I saw someone in a very bad place. Fear and loneliness to be exact and I would probably do something fun to get myself out of it.

No problem about your wrath. My point was not to kiss your ass but to say I think there is a good heart beneath your exterior self.:)

Case in point: You are able to talk like a rational human being with me instead of coming unhinged not that we both haven't been a little unhinged but at the time we both had a good reason I think.

SANITY ON THE CELLAR:eek:!!!?? Thats like one big WOW! :D
