Monday, September 20, 2004 (as posted & commented on Deadlines)
Come on people, lets turn up the Wattage to what I know we all have!
Ok, we are communicating back and forth in the comments of the blogs, having wonderful conversations and actually communicating again. Yeah us! :)
I have tried to explain the "Three- edge Sword" which is being used by Shark on the blogs, so everyone realizes that they are only seeing their side of thoughts, feelings, interpretations. This is all true, but now it is being argued that it is even a possibility. As I have written, for us as HUMAN BEINGS, it is impossible to truly grasp the Sword and use it for our own self-enlightenment. We as a species are not yet blessed with the mental capacity or faculties to truly understand others as of yet. I say yet because I am hopeful that more of us are able to understand and learn to work around our shortcomings to understand our fellow MAN (WOMAN.) But I can see we have a long way to go because we are still not able to accept this basest of principles.
WE CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH EVER! WE CANNOT SEE THE OTHER SIDE EVER!
We can strive to understand and see the other side, and only then will we truly be enlightened to as close to the Truth that we can attain. That is not to say that questioning this concept is wrong, that is how we gain understanding, which if you ever read my comments on The Voice’s blog (click his name on the Council Chambers or any other to view all blogs they are a part of) that is the most important (or at least one of) endeavor in my life right now. To understand. It is a hard and tedious never-ending road that I happily chose to embark upon. I only gripe about this because there seems to be nobody trying to understand WITH me. I was never told that this was a lonely road, and thought if I tried to let my friends know that it existed that they would join me on my journey. Okay, my anger is spent now. That is why I posted it here than on the Council Chambers, I did not and do not want anyone to view this as a personal attack, just my frustration of watching so many brains try to wrap around the same concept that they mention in different words but do not see the connection or similarities.
PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL, AND TO ALL A HELL OVA NIGHT! :)

Hey Pool I do agree with you. Sometimes I wonder if everyone could just sit down, at the same time, and talk this all out. It would do wonders for everyone. Just a thought.

There are those who can see the truth... but they must try hard, and they may not like what they see. The media's cloud of deception is growing stronger; blocking our sight of the truth. And it will continue to grow. They will only show us what they think we need to see, while hiding the real answers. This censorship will eventually destroy the seekers of the truth who will be replaced only with mindless automatons, and then nothing will stand in their way…

You speak with a silver tongue and are well traveled, yet you do not grasp the message that is right in front of you. The truth is distorted by the person who beholds it.

And to Pool, right with you man, been trying to hammer the point across but just wasn't sticking.

As I've stated before, sometimes too much damage is done to the bridge to do a repair...

For crying out loud people you have move on from the past. You can’t fix the past so just put it behind you and just try to start over. You can’t hold something over someone's head forever. If you cant move on from the past then you need to take a long look at yourself first. This is not pointed at anyone directly.

Okay, now was it just me, or was that just plain damned funny? Deady makes an awesome point about the Truth...a point which each of us has repeated in his/her own language at one point or another during the argument about it on the Council. But almost everyone (I said ALMOST!) who posted comments about it here took a heinous left turn and commented about something totally other than his point...thereby proving his point. LOL.
Deady, you should post this on the Council.

This is to my good friend Angle69; it is not that we need to all sit down and talk, I feel we need to all sit down and listen. Then go away and ponder in silence over what was discussed. Come back and listen to the next person speak, ponder in solitude again, then speak from a greater vantage point of understanding.
To Shark; I know you get it, shit you helped me get some points of it, that is why I try to explain in eloquent speech what nobody is grasping in laymens terms.
To The Voice; yes it is a little strange to me, but I am happy for we are communicating at all again. Now how strange is that?
To The Question; there are none who see the Truth, those who have ever come close, were persecuted and killed before others could truly grasp their messeges. Then the messege was perverted to someones perspective until it died or was widely accepted. It is still not correct. If you need a major example, look at the Christian religion. After you have anaylzed those,(yes I do mean all forms of it,) then we can discuss your understanding of the many discrepancies and misinterpretations of the Truth in just that one thing. Then you have to sit back and realize that even as big as that topic is, it is just one of many.
To The King of Quill; we all need to be forgiven and allowed the chance to make restitutions for any past grievances, then there must be time of healing and internal inspection in order to move on. I do not say forget, nut what harm is there in forgiving and rebuilding.
Forgiveness is largely dependent on the one giving the forgiveness. Now, also, one can forgive but still retain the right to not try to rebuild. It's just something I do not wish to do. I understand all of your points about people changing, and forgiving and forgetting, but it's not what I want to have happen.
I apologize if that's not what you guys want to hear. However, that IS how I feel.
If I wronged someone, I would certainly do what I could to make up for it, if anything could be done. However, I would completely understand if said person never wanted anything to do with me again. After all, part of owning up to one's mistakes is accepting the fact that there are sometimes permanent consequences for certain actions. Would I like it? No, of course not; no one LIKES to be condemned in such a fashion. Nonetheless, it would be the decision of whoever I have wronged, and I would then have to make sure I never wronged someone else like that again.
However, perhaps this is my view simply because I am a believer in the idea that there are permanent consequences for certain things. I can certainly see how someone with a view of "nothing can be unforgivable", "people change, give them infinite chances to prove it" would disagree and think I was being unfair.
I don't share that mindset; thus, my view on it, and my decision.
No, not at all Voice. If I wronged a friend or person, I certainly would want the forgiveness of them, and would work toward making amends and apologies for my mistakes and wrongings. However, I understand that it would ultimately be up to the person I have wronged to forgive and forget; and, if the wrong that I've done is deemed by them to be unforgivable, then certainly I cannot blame them, for it IS their decision to make. From there, I would work to be a better person for the experience, and make sure I don't wrong anyone else in that same manner.
That is what I meant. Not that I refused the forgiveness of others. I am sorry for the confusion.
