It is evening… There is a knock at the door… I answer to find two travelers seeking to speak the word of God… I invite them in and we talk…
There was a time when this was common of me to do. Christian, Mormon, Jehovah, Buddhist, etc…; it did not matter their label: I welcomed the talk… I woke up this morning thinking how I do not do this anymore… They all say the same anecdotal semantics that obviously holds no applicability, as I can see the stones in their pockets. I do not talk to the travelers anymore… I am just tired…
I am 48 years of age… I still like to watch movies and play video games, as I have since I was young… It is not unusual for me to like a not as good movie for a good message, and not unusual for me to dislike a lauded good movie because of a bad ending… Video games…? Not a big fan of the GTAs, but I can have a good time taking down some monsters… I woke up this morning to the news… Just another bad ending… And the monsters… I am outnumbered… I am just tired…
I was once reprimanded for suggesting that The Bay of Pigs had a significant influence on my generation. The Bay of Pig happened ~six years before I was born; how could it have influenced me or my generation..? Is it such a hard concept to understand that parents may experience an event, but children assimilate the aftermath…? I woke up this morning to take my son to school… The entitlement… The rudeness… The apathy… These are the parents of what will be assimilated… I am just tired…
I do not hate God… I am tired of God… I do not hate people… I am tired of people… I love life… I want to live… I am just too tired to want to care…
I am just too tired…
Yes, there is a method behind my madness… Those in the psychology profession would get all giddy with seeking a personality disorder in my writing, but they would be dancing in the wrong jungle… When one learns how to observe the four behaviors one can see within an anti-social lament. Is anti-social a biological pathology or a conditioned assimilation…? In a simple word… Yes… How do you know if a person is truly an anti-social, or if the anti-social is just a mask…? In many cases, to see congruence or a mask, is as simple as observing activation in the four behaviors. Through Character Profiling I know that I am predominate in Humanities. Essentially I care… A lot…! About my world…! About Humans…! The virtue of Humanities tends to care at a higher degree than common and thus tends to experience Altruism as both a gift and a curse. Caring can be exponentially good: And also exponentially bad… And thus the activation can be high. This is a Pendulum Crash… It is not hard to observe a Pendulum Crash… The trick is the seeing of what it means…
