I'm sure Martin Luther would be very proud of this image.

What is happening now in the Horn of Africa is a horrible expression of man's inhumanity towards his fellow man.


It's hard to understand but it is us. It's not them or some other people who we are not.

It is difficult if not impossible to look at ourselves with an unblinking eye.


I am ashamed not of them but of us, of me. Of man.


And yet at the same time I am the starving and the withholding, and I am the observer.

Jesus, this is so true, Mr. Wiltrack!

So now you know this Vald what will you be doing?

Apologies if you are already doing something about this situation.

Pulled back to this forum upon the eve of the birthdate of the GREATEST philosopher my country, America, has ever produced:

Since you first posted this thread Bill what concrete actions have you undertaken to assist them?

Or is it just more shit flowing from your mouth?

The above words, and images of mine, touched someone. Moved someone to agree with me.



...um, for me, this is enough.




On the eve of the birth-date of the GREAT Dr Martin Luther King I am reminded that we must pick our battles wisely. For life is short and our energies are limited.




For me, the fact that I struck a humanistic chord with a fellow member is enough for this thread, this worthwhile topic.

A huge, unexpected bonus is the fact that I was able to touch something inside of you. It appears that you feel movement or action is inspired from the poster and/or this thread. Thank you for taking this topic, this amazing crossroads of philosophical thought.


Millions starve as philosophies collide...


This post has surpassed ANYTHING I could have dreamed of in touching something in you and at least one other poster.


To both of you and to anyone else that this thread has touched, you are welcomed.





Thank you for your civility & understanding.



Since I originally posted this thread I have made tremendous efforts & movement for the philosophies that actually drive me.


For me, very personal concrete actions have I undertaken to assist those battles within me.




I want to personal thank you for allowing me to consciously remind myself of my struggles, my philosophies, my wars through this thread. In this post...

Lmao! So fuck all then.

I see nothing has changed, still the same pointless platitudes veneering a "me, me, me ... I, I , I" psyche.

.







Ever since that other poster clipped your wings, you are broken...

Do you think I can fix you?


Is that why you show me your despair?


Is that why you show it to me?


You know that I know...right?

You mean the goatboy Bill? The one you lauded but obviously did not understand as he was opposed to pretty much every claim you spout. Still, at least he had a consistent philosophical position, vile tho' it is.

You think you are in any condition to fix people? You who think you spout shit, that you have two-brains, who doesn't know who he is, etc.

The only despair I have Bill is at those who speak much about the ills of the world and try to make it an "us" issue when its a "you" issue and make the moral high-ground when not actually doing anything about it.

Then again I could be wrong about you and you've actually sent money and aid to these starving people, that you've joined an action group to organize relief, etc. But I doubt it.

Save your attempted head-fuck and psycho-babble games for yourself, you need it.
