Protector Posted May 22, 2012 We can shape our own world by what we say, do, and think Some things are get ignored and sometimes that's unintentional because of how we're used to dealing with them. Sometimes we get so close to our friends by trusting them that they get far away Because they feel close, there is no feeling left for doubting Same with strangers, they are so far away that there is only doubt Both become set examples people use to follow in real life situations when meeting people People stop listening to strangers at all and they don't have a chance to get close Friends are not questioned and without doubt no new information about them is added Both are needed, trust with a dot of doubt and doubt with a dot of trust Doubting and trusting is how we understand each other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

三江源 Posted May 23, 2012 We can shape our own world by what we say, do, and think Some things are get ignored and sometimes that's unintentional because of how we're used to dealing with them.

If we are not engaged with one another... it is because we are not being creative in our relationship with being alive. This is an energetic stagnancy. More of an issue for me is coming across unwillingness to engage authentically.. that results in apathy on my part. When one is just shown an image of the person instead of the person themselves.. as if they are standing in front of one, but holding up a photograph of themselves. then one either has to decide: play the game of inauthenticity, ie make the transaction symmetrical, or try to break through the facade, or just yawn.

Stosh Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Thats a nice rich soliloquy, an emotionally wise consideration For myself I'd vary the theme just for variation to maybe "non-interference vs involvement" But as you can see, it wouldnt likely read smoothly There is a poet in you dude.
