First, um …
Mister Who, with all due respect – I have to ask, are you sure you’re addressing me, here, and not tadeus? … I respect tadeus; I see what he sees, albeit, I think, in a less dramatic form due to our geographic location (I am assuming, tadeus, that your location is still in Europe – if I am wrong, please forgive my assumption). No, the US of A is sure as heck not an idealist paradise, but there are islands. They islands are the ones that we make ourselves, with those around us of like mind. My perception is that this is much more difficult to do in Europe at this time.
tadeus asks,
I am going to share something now that I have not wished to previously share, for a number of reasons that may be obvious: The latter (“demanding the best possible from life”) is exactly what I am doing. I cannot elucidate many more specifics than that for reasons that would in and of themselves require elucidation of specifics (yep that’s confusing, sorry) – however, I will state in very, very general terms that what you seek and wish for is available to you if you alter your perceptions and choose to obtain it. Once you have decided to do that – and I mean really decided, on a soul level – you will be startled to find that the vast majority of Humanity, 99.999% thereabouts, does not know that this is even possible – not even in fiddly little casual ways. They believe that XYZ is unobtainable, they make the assumption that it is – and thus, it is, for them.
That’s really just restating LOO philosophy and a whole lot more versions of the same “new age” message in one more restringing of the same words; however, these are my words and I assure you based on my own personal individuated experience that they are true.
As far as usernamewho (which could be abbreviated as UNWHO – um, interesting) – I think I see what you’re saying, perhaps; however, I believe that you have misread my demographics so dramatically based on your post that I don’t really know how to respond to the majority of your post because I perceive it to be predicated upon conclusions that are, in fact, utterly false in too many ways. Everything I wrote appears to have been taken in the context of these inaccuracies and thus, to respond would be to build upon false assumptions that are built upon other false assumptions and thus, a direct response to the majority of your post would most likely be deleterious more than beneficial.
I will, however, respond to this comment, because I’m confused about it:
I am curious as to where in any of my posts – not tadeus’s – did I suggest that we should “do” anything? My suggestion in my last post was that we get popcorn. This was a bad joke (hence, my additional tongue-in-cheek comment that it might “ding my polarity” by saying it). My implication here is that there’s nothing we can do, so we may as well sit back and watch it with interest, attempting to temper our horror.
BTW – while this will, in point of fact, most likely only serve to cement your inaccurate assumptions regarding my demographics rather than dispel them, if you wish to address me formally, I would request that you use my proper (paper) title, which is “Doctor.”
