Wesak Moon ideation

end of April, post Wesak Moon


Postulation:  so-called trolls, internet bullies, those who rudely rip without due consideration for their targets’ humanity
are people with such poor communication skills that they do their best to provoke to be “seen”.
It then seems to me a good approach:  do not “see” them; do model polite communication, meaningful conversation.


Too independent to fit in expected boxes – not sin, sincerity of purpose to expose the problems with boxes.


People, we like to feel safe within our cliques and discount the rest. 
Discounting becomes shunning, degrading, believed to be less,
less human.
Dehumanizing makes it ok to defend against with deadly force in any interaction.
But what is there to do?
How can it be the responsibility of the shunned to make an atmosphere comfortable
for the shunners to engage in dialog, accept commonality in humanity?
Of course it cannot be the perceived lesser’s responsibility --
how could they convince those who deny their equality?
And those shunners have no impetus to make an effort
toward engagement.


no need for measurement,
achieving
I succeed by being, feeling, thinking, perceiving
enjoying the ride



pre-Wesak Moon



walking, aimlessly, open to serendipity, feeling in place in the moving air and scenery, this is where the truth you seek reveals



having no goal, how can I succeed?
