losing our selves

 


When we categorize ourselves
and each other
we risk losing our selves


The type of personality that demands
continual amassing has different precepts,
codes, values from those generally
considered “good” “humane”
Attempting to shame, or bring about
a higher consciousness can have no effect
when the language barrier so vastly
separates


The Liberals, for all their panty-clutching
cowardice, are so much better than the
Righteous, who absolutely NEED to rule
other people’s lives, make everyone as
miserable as they, so they can feel
justified in their misery.


Dems, try the same strategies being used 
by successful candidates of talking directly 
to the people about what concerns them, 
being an actual advocate, understanding 
what is needed by your district and acting 
accordingly, encouraging volunteers from 
all areas, getting the word  out LOUD


We are clueless, undereducated, unable to 
understand the implications of our choices 
because our so-called democracy is played 
like a sport, not taken seriously as the backbone 
of the society in which our lives take place. 
Obviously, what is needed is education of the 
kind busy people will take to, endless 
anti-propaganda that is spread as more people 
learn enough to make that our background. 


socialism is pretty much a trigger term, 
not a real here and now to usefully react to -- 
it gets to be, like a Humpty Dumpty word, 
whatever the speaker assumes.  The definition 
people with a conscience tend to lean toward 
is about people being more important than profit. -- 
The essentially humane view that actual living 
beings have more intrinsic value than made up 
constructs to allow for some to grab and hoard 
what were common resources.


isms are human constructs, often based more 
on ideological theory than real world practice 
why not reverse for usefulness -- figure out what 
gives people the best possible lives, and do that
