What's the point? How can you clarify gibberish?

You need to specifically point to the gibberish. You know, like I'm a dog who doesn't understand.
(do you understand that answer?)

No, I don't need to do that, I don't think there is any point in trying to train you.

Good. That's because I'm not a dog.

Now, because I'm not a dog, you need to specifically point to the gibberish, in the way you would to a human, in order to understand that what you thought was gibberish, was an erroneous apprehension (or reception of a transmission), by you.

(Do you understand these three sentences?)

Good observations. This particular one ... that saying about a good day to die ... it may have even come from a movie, about American aboriginals.

It does sound romantic though, doesn't it. Rather, New Agey.


(I've heard I'm incomprehensible, so speak up if you don't understand.)

A 'Native American' is just another terminology for Buddhahood. Gautama Buddha self taught the natural state of being, the only state of being that is known to exist, called enlightenment, meaning everything and nothing is already this clear and present enlightenment, and it's not something someone has to reach for.

There is nothing to understand, because you are already the understanding which you seek to understand. But this obvious knowing seems to go right over your ego, since it's grown so big now, that it's actually cancelling you out as it obscures the blinding view that is already here behind the veil. But, no less, it seems you are too thick and stupid to just admit that. That is why, no one likes a con. You cannot con a con incomprehensible one, but nice try trying to fake it.

I am Native American, according to the definition of the words native, and American.
I'm not responsible for the label.

I am not aboriginal, according to the definition of the word.

I know that much.

Chinese is what immediately comes to mind, but there are lots of other things I don't understand.

You really are an unpleasant person, there is no hope for someone like you, either you fall in line, or stay at the borderline of uncertainty about how you see yourself and others. It's your mental state you are choosing..idiot.

So you are not responsible for forging a label that the I am is known to be known as.

Ok...we get it...Yawn!!

You are not responsible for being a twat either, are you.

I don't understand and in fact, I'm rather clueless as to what's in that noggin of yours.

(I've heard I'm incomprehensible, so speak up if you don't understand.)

What I gather, and I may be wrong, is that my new little saying, my tagline if you will, in some way inspired your words. Maybe not. Maybe you're just working on past misapprehensions.

Anyway, poor you, as folks say.

More bait awaits you.

Your response reminds me a favourite saying, which I'll modify a bit.

Folks come to see what they want to see. They come to see but they they never come to know.

I think this saying applies to your response, and I think that if you're honest with yourself, as even you surely must be at some time or another, you will agree.
