Now that the Trumps have declared I am no longer human, can I be a jaguar? Always thought they were kinda cool.

But... But... never mind, I'll be a black panther instead.

To the topic at hand, I'll say this. Of course Democrats are people. The underlying message from Eric Trump is that he's feeling the hatred and fearing the violence promised by that hatred. Masked by the naming of his "other" is a human message we should all be able to connect with.

Or he could stop speaking because he and his brother both sound just as moronic as their father when he speaks. There are far better people to deliver this message eloquently. I'm not suggesting he's not entitled to feel and fear as he does but speaking to the nation is not one of his gifts.

Wow! Loneliness and sadness... Hmmm. You made me laugh, was that your intention?

I love my life (that's an inclusive statement), I love me. If that's sadness and loneliness I fully embrace my ignorance.

Letting go of life? My view is that once I'm dead, I dead. I've even told my husband he can throw my ashes in the trash if he feels so inclined to do so. What comes after? I'm open, whether it's heaven or re-joining in a non-bodily sense, Energy. I'll be dead, how can this human mind relate.

Our vocabulary may differ but misunderstanding me does not change what I "know".

You have a habit of setting yourself not only apart but above because of your knowing but darling, yours is a belief... that feels so profound to you, you call it truth, the only truth.
That involves exclusion and not what you should be about where you say you are in your journey.

No one's journey is more or less valuable than yours. Try to keep that in mind.

Umm, you're just not going to describe an existence where everyone is like you? I'm truly intrigued what you imagine that would look like.

In the sea there are riches beyond compare but if you seek safety it's on the shore. A saying

What would such a world look like. Gosh let me see. I know, one person would say if you haven't got a pumpkin I'll give you one and if you have a pumpkin I will take it away, whereas another would say. If you have a pumpkin I'll give you one and if you haven't I'll take it away. Everybody would be riding a wave they were simultaneously creating.
Or we can say it's a deeply guarded secret because it exists where the mind of thought can never look.

Yeah, that's not real. Have you looked around you? It's not just the people of this forum that won't cooperate to create your wave. You've set yourself up to be mad at the majority of your fellow humans. Life is flavor and everyone's is different. Your bliss has no flavor, it is bland, it is expected and with no upsets. That's not reality. Somebody will always throw a chili pepper in your works.

It doesn't occur to you that the peace you claim isn't how everyone would define peace. Single-minded thinking is not meant for us. I'll take my lumps and my bumps just to taste my life. I've turned out pretty fantastic given the givings and would change nothing. Not one thing, even the worst of it and that's the stuff that still puts tears in my eyes and a grapefruit sized lump in my throat. I guess I'm just stronger than you. I'll face it. You need to believe in a paper thin non-existent reality to exist in to hide from those things that killed you.

But... Know what you know man. I will stress again that resorting to anger toward and name calling those who don't want your message or simply don't or won't understand your message or accept it, is beneath you. You may at some point need to accept that this journey of yours is singular. Psst... As is everyone's. That's not as scary as it sounds. I swear loving yourself feels nothing like loneliness or sadness. It's another version of bliss, if you will. But you won't because you're the only one who knows how to attain bliss.

Oh, to be clear... Power on mister man and I'll do the same. My bliss is unaffected (except as previously stated, I have found you tedious at times).

You can identify as whatever the heck you want to and society has to accept it or be deemed any variety of -ist's or -phobic.

You do you, jaguar...

Done. I would like to thank Uday and Qusay Trump for being self representations of how despicable humans can be. Maybe one day they will get eaten by one of those animals they hunt for sport.

Not likely. At a guess I would presume they stack the odds in their favor. The only danger is for the animals. The Trumps are all cowards at heart.

well, I certainly welcome your attempt to pick off a peregrine in freefall at upwards of 350mph heading strait towards your noggin. A gimbly pheasant with a barely-passing ability to remain airborne is a rather different sort of target. :D

350mph would only make the bird shot more painful

granted, a peregrine isn't going to freefall on your head--that is only to take out airborne prey (which makes it infinitely more badass), but the point is that you would be unconscious or stunned before you could pull the trigger. :D

Think of it as a natural, perfectly evolved, SCUD missile.

Yea, in my imagination, this guy is having some serious damage happen to him at the paws and jaws of that gorgeous, amazing cat.

You probably never saw the new XXX movie, but in one of the first scenes a sniper wings these guys trying to take out a lion with a crossbow. The lion then promptly turns around and starts mauling them. It's glorious.

My purpose is to inform you as best I can, not to make you see anything. I just want to give you information. I see sadness and loneliness because I sense you are very resistant to what I have to say. Naturally I do not know what personal issues you have that causes you to react strongly to what I say, but I do know why you would choose to see only the positive self love you have for yourself because I am motivated to do the same. For me, however, that option was not sustainable. I had a great deal of help and an unquenchable pain. I had a terrible need. This is how I first became aware of unconscious assumptions and how all my opinions about the world were bunk. Since the place that I arrived at ended my existential suffering and freed me forever from it, I have a great with to share it with others, but not a need that you see. It is more like a being duty to give the best I can. Whether you take anything or not is up to you. As it happens then, I care not that you find me tedious or anything else. I respond to what I feel.

As I believe that it is you who mostly tells me that what I post bothers you, I am forced to take that as your hidden self calling to me. I feel a moral responsibility to answer that call. But since another part of you wishes to challenge what I say, I cause the part of you that you know to be you to be upset.

I guess, then, I will respond eventually if you want to challenge thing is say, since I see that as emotional need, but I won't engage you otherwise or for a while in the first case just so you understand I have no such need.

Edit: I should have added I have said what I said above because your post, while I am sure it is heart felt, doesn't seem to be addressed to me but to somebody else. It seems deeply private and personal.

What happens when anyone informs you of anything is a pretty good demonstration of an egoist trying his hardest to pretend to be anything but.

I see two things wrong with this. In the first place this is your ego trying to exert its superiority over my ego by maintaining you have any real information other than this ego need to insult. The second is that your information is also wrong in another way. It is because I have an ego that I am able to understand it. I know you because I know me. What I know is that the ego is mental illness, that you and I have it because it protects us from our self hate. The real difference between us is that my knowledge of my own self hate is real whereas you have no idea that you do. In short, I have more real information than you do, not that I am ego free. You haven't figured out yet that the ego takes everything as a contest and deflects every defeat. The external face of that is arrogance of which you have aplenty.

Just for fun tell me if you are not a highly educated and highly intelligent minority, my guess is Est Asian, who has experienced white cultural blindness to your, to me, obvious gifts? I see so often the kind of contempt you hold for others to damaged racial pride. You should know that we are all the same, there is just one human race, and your national origin or race means nothing. It's an accident of birth, like one's religion usually is. It doesn't make you better or worse or different than anybody else. It all comes from the pain of being put down for it by fools who don't know we are all the same.

Pretty typical ideas someone's ego produces when their mind fails at producing any factual counterarguments to what it was informed of. By typical I mean also easy to spot in any number of conservatives I've similarly informed of facts.
