AAARGH…!

A wise man once said that no matter how long I knock my head on the wall, the wall will never answer… A wise man once said that if I cut my hair short it would save me from pulling it out… A wise man once said that if a wise man screams his head off in a car and nobody else is around, does he make a sound…

Mary once asked me if I thought people might see me as arrogant or egotistical… My response was that it would not make sense because what I do is about you (everyone else). I am an odd duck… I do not want people to be me… I want everyone to be unique… Then of course as I so often think too much, I had to ask myself… Do I see the paradox in everyone being unique…?

A unique person registers to be a Conservative voting for change when the word Conservative essentially means keeping things the same… A unique person registers to be a Liberal which the word Liberal essentially means to be open, yet the unique person closes the door to anyone who thinks different… Ironically, both a unique Conservative and a unique Liberal register to restrict their vote to a common party yet cry havoc over a threat to their freedom… It is like a person inappropriately using the word stupid when the word stupid essential means an inappropriate use… Do you see the paradox of unique people…?

There are over seven million search results to say that there are approximately seven billion people on the planet with each person being one of an exponentially large number (vastly exceeding seven billion) of genetic combinations: Would it be safe to say that each person is a unique individual…?

Zeitgeist means the spirit of the time; or the way of the common: or… Majority rules... The Zeitgeist is determined through the observation of common behavior. It is not hard to observe Zeitgeist patterns when we know that common behavior is to spend our resources to engage in our behaviors. The top behaviors…? We spend trillions per year to be defended (or bully); trillions to be entertained; hundreds of billions to drive our cars; hundreds of billions to watch and engage in sex; hundreds of billions on illicit drug, with the same dollar amount just to get drunk, and over double the dollar amount to take care of our medicinal needs. We gave hundreds of billions to people to manage (play with) our wealth of resources; we give hundreds of billions to people who steal our resources. But hey… We only give a measly tens of billions to sell each other… These are just the top few areas, in which we as seven billion individuals spend our resources… What does this say about our Zeitgeist behaviors we are engaging in…? How much “common” does this say we are…? Is it still safe to say we are all unique…? Again… Do we see the paradox of unique people…?

I am an odd duck and thus I am going to make a really odd and bold statement… There is only one inarguable fact in life that by inarguable fact makes it the only absolute truth… And I am the only one that knows it…!

Collaborative Topic: The paradox of a unique individual… Are you curious…?

I encourage you to reply…
