I have no idea what you are attempting to say to me Belinda.
What the heck are you talking about now, Jesus Christ. What is wrong with you people…you can’t focus on what you choose to focus on…what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Sorry. I mean concentrating on creating something all your own.
Sorry you’ve completely lost me, no idea what the heck your point is.
May I try again? You, DAM, wherever you are , are engaged in living your life. Whatever you are immersed in, in your life, is your own creation and nobody else's. As long as you are alive you have no choice but to make choices. If these choices are all your own and not weakly copied from someone else they are good enough choices.
The only duty you have as a human being is to help others to make their own independent choices.

Lacewing and many others here including me would argue with their own shadow, just for the hell of it.
Maybe you're speaking of yourself. I was talking about alternative views and asking questions, based on things you had said, and I explained why. I very rarely argue with anyone in person. Online, I'm just having fun responding to the things people say.

If that is what you think, then why are you doing it? I'll guess that many of us here see more to it than what you claim.
It appears that the purpose of extreme projections is to invalidate everything except one's own limitations and distortions.

Sorry, your still not getting through. I genuinely do not understand what you mean.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was simply responding to DAM's posts -- and didn't mean to mess up the thread.
What a nice thing to say. Sincere. Prompts a return in kind.
You know, there is another sincere way to look at it other than being messed up.
Like coincidence, problem is an invalid concept.
If a thought is quotable it should stand out like a decorative curb tree that somehow got planted in a forest of Kudzu-covered weed-trees. An antidote to Kudzu-like word-spread is some brevity-kind of word concentrator to tighten up the premise, and perhaps a bit o’ space.

“Concentrate on creating something all your own.”

You just did, and it’s worthy of carving into stone.

Now that I've expressed my mind, I have no need to move, although soon that niggling little itch for coffee will likely send my feet and me on a walking mission to the coffee pot to make things right, and I know from past repetition that the resulting mind-of-peace, no urge-to-move or change anything let alone the suspension of inner dialogue (that gets shined up for presentation), will last until another urge gets on the see-saw to tip the balance of stillness, when the urge that ain't me gets heavy enough to disrupt the peace-of-mind and tip the scales to must, at least enough for the mind to move as thought.

At times, one grows weary of the customary and predictable volleys aimed at tempering both conceptual position and temperament.
