It's just another day
I know messageboards are pointless for a lot of reasons. That being said...
Is it human nature or personal ego that demands responses?
Say you post something to a messageboard, either stating how you feel on a matter or supporting someone else's feelings on a matter and a response comes back: you're all whining.
Is it human nature or ego that says: respond to defend yourself because that's not what I meant and the other person needs to understand where I'm coming from?
Messageboards in general (unlike LJ) are huge time sucks and they're part of The Plan. That Plan is the one where creative people are baited by Them into a pointless dialog and then They "attack" you for your feelings or beliefs, making you feel you have to respond, thus keeping you from being creative. They believe we should all just do what we're told and not think outside the box or draw outside the lines.
You know who these people are. They're insidious and They are everywhere. You see them at work, the drones who can spend eight hours a day, head down, working and think nothing of doing it every day. They long for the mediocrity of the daily treadmill because it's safe.
Life is not meant to be safe. If we live from our souls, life gets messy.
Can you tell I'm at work?
Peace,
Gary . . .
