Is Life Art?

[Lacewing]

In 'The Art of Being and Becoming' (one of my favorite books years ago), Hazrat Inayat Khan teaches that the greatest art in life is the art of personality — a refinement of our innate individuality into a conscious, purposeful way of being.

Walker trolls us with his wilful ignorance.

Why don't you love Dolly's artful life of love?

Walker doubles down on the wilful ignorance. It’s all he has left.

Question:
Why do you think Dolly Parton was so loved?

Walker's Answer:
Because she channeled God … and didn’t speak of politics.

I would say you are right that she was loved because she didn't speak of politics. Whether she believed Trump's behavior is acceptable as a President, we don't know. If we love her because we don't know that she secretly admired Trump as President, then our "love" would be built on deception. Whether she "channeled God" or not seems to be your assumption, not an established fact. Am I right?

“Some foreigners, and other irrelevant people, complain that Americans don’t care about their tiny, unimportant countries. And of course, that’s true, and for obvious reasons.”

No, you're wrong.

That she channeled God is an observation of the effect of her presence in relationship, not an assumption.

She was also quite religious. Christian religion ... not just some vague feelings about spirituality, or theism in general.

Dolly had a big one.

They're playing her stories.

She said that when she was a child there was a pretty woman in town who always dressed up, had big hair and bright red lips. Dolly asked her mamma who that woman was, and her mamma said, she's a tramp.

Dolly said that she said to herself, when I grow up I want to look like that. I want to be a tramp too.

Obviously it's funny because in her childhood innocence, all she saw was the spectacular with her judgment.

Yes, doubling down upon wilful [sic] ignorance is easy when the topic is the Left.

Willful ignorance is certainly of the Left, and there are reasons for that.

Knowing the reasons for that ignorance of the Left gives us understanding of the Left and why the Left is demonstrably so easily manipulated by communists. This generates compassion, enough to offer corrections to those afflicted with the TDS syndrome. Of course since they are declined, they become a highlight.

Ignorance of the Left and its effects is a principle that repeats through history, and is now demonstrated by the Democrat Party that Hates America, with its embracing of communism ... although they don't say the word very much.


However, none of that was about Dolly.
It was simply a clarification of the word "on," with the word "upon."

Such is the effect of up.

Doubled and redoubled! How far is he prepared to go in his self-defeating self-deception?

Art is the expression and communication of the human psyche.

[Walker]

Art is the expression and communication of the human psyche.

Interesting. The implication is that art requires the courage to unapologetically face oneself without trying to make it pretty, or rationalize it into acceptable fashion. The human psyche must be communicated truthfully in order to be art, which must be done unapologetically and matter-of-factly.

For instance, in Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austin communicated the realities of greed, ambition, manipulation and pettiness simply and without embellishment within the frame of relationships, so these things are exposed for what they are, as accepted realities without condemnation … and how people behave according to the natures, or proclivities.

Starry Night, by Vinny Van Gogh, is another great expression of the human psyche … in turmoil.

You sound confused.
Have you sought antidotes?
Perhaps, antidotes in anecdotes?
Mairzy Dotes and Dozy Dotes?

Are you faking insanity now in the hope that we excuse your bad faith, Walker?

[Walker]

It’s phonetic.
Mares eat oats
And does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy.

Because of the Six Degrees of Separation Law (SDSL), that ditty is relevant to everyone, which includes you. Perhaps an ancestor herded sheep in the highlands?

Could this be the secret of crystal ball fortune tellers?

Please put me on <Ignore>, Mick!

[Walker]

Please put me on <Ignore>, Mick!

On the contrary, your trolling is grist for the mill, silly fella.

Consider, if you will, the levels of the Ignore Function.

On the first level, it alerts one that one is being ignored.
On the next level, it fails to achieve that function.
On the next level, it's a perpetual reminder to the troll, of a troll's function.
What's next?

In the big picture, the troll’s function, tied to the troll’s objective, is to be put on ignore so that the one who ignores can examine why.
In this way all can agree that free speech is … A-Ok, which sounds different without the hyphen.

Thus, the mundane becomes mindful life art.
