Let Me Go

…off on Manny-pedi,

Peanut gallery, speak! What crime have I accosted you with now? My shoe, both of them certainly. Combat boots hurt don’t they?

…recursively back into reality for the time being.

Jeez, insanity was way more exciting.

Props to all who endured without complaint. Death to those who exacerbated my fragility. There will be a reckoning tete a tete. :angry-boxing:

One thing you’ve accomplished marvelously is to re-awaken a sleeping giant. Coherency is on her feet again for an undetermined allotment of time!

…towards a new objective. Thus far my steps have been precarious, morosely so, yet I vaguely remember where I am destined to be. Deja vus atop one another have me anchored in an unlikely, safe harbor where storms rage to lure, violently seeking refuge too, but I alone have a sliver of calm waters in which to belly-flop, splashing around with cares much less than days before and cares much greater to bequeath.

A life raft to weather the storm to more calmer waters.

…on to practice philosophy in this public arena in my own way, right or wrong, there will be no polls conducted to pigeonhole such dynamic potential. :laughing: One must take on this endeavor with the utmost seriousness #-o , which as JSS has already written, “will cramp” my style.

There’s no way I am reading through all the philosophical classics. (Though you can pretend I did.) It’s so off putting reading dry, lifeless plays on words that are complicated unnecessarily to describe simple concepts.<—No, she di…int! Bye, Felicia!

My approach will be from my POV, not some dead dudes. Neither dead dudes nor the few living dudes/dudettes need to do my writing for me. Nor do I feel I need to pay hommage to philosophical appropriateness/etiquette. Philosophy is common sense to me no matter how it’s spun.

Now the debate aspect of philosophy will be a challenge, but not an impossibility to accomplish successfully without getting body slammed by every Tom, Dick, and Harry who fashions himself a philosopher king.

Let the games begin, haters!

UPDATE: This is fun! Bring it!

Congratulations! This is the first step to reclaiming your sanity.

…supe up the 'ole engine. Purring now. Time to go balls-to-the-walls in my first “original, somewhat-sane philosophy” thread.

Wait! Still scratching my head a lot about the ‘Grand Pooh-bah Kick-off.’ Why is the first sentence being onerous? Solid concept, great bones, yet no flesh.

Is there any patience to be had when I write :question: Perspective…degrees…finesse…subtlety… :confusion-waiting: Nope. :mrgreen:

F me royally!

Besides selfies, what considerations are you capable of making?

Oh Ierr,

“Besides selfies, what considerations are you capable of making?”-Ierr

One consideration is that you owe an award to commemorate the utmost narcissism.
Another consideration is a dynamic POV in philosophy, which if read appropriately make up great, not in length, contributions by an novice.
Continuing down the path of considerations, a realization has occurred that images may be needed to compensate for member’s lacking in the ability to extrapolate from one idea to the next. Must everything be literally spelled out?

Satisfied or should I PM you a selfie? :evilfun:

P.S. “Creativity: The Pregnant Mind,” coming to the Philosophy forum nearest you.

is how the creative mind gets pregnant.

RF,

Ah, perhaps that’s one impetus for it’s fertilization, but just maybe a mind of vast intellectual capabilities should carry rather than deliver. BTW, thanks for the gif., I needed that.

…and some dance for the sheer pleasure and esctacy of it.

Arc,

“I could have danced all night. I could have danced all night and still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I’ve never done before!”~My Fair Lady

So true in terms of pleasure to meld into the music. What release and the power explodes out of your body!

MM

…on to be open-hearted from this point forward without intimidation.

Fate is unexpected and scary. Never imagined this new aspect of reality would be my reality. So many deja vus leading me into unfathomably, familiar territory; I’m all in now, fully invested once again. No more lethargy.

Time to withdraw energy from life and share it. There is much power to wield, stabilized. Start small to encompass all. Many blessings expanding with a time focused investment. Note to self: You’ve got this so do not be stingy.

Prayers not even asked are answered. Thank you!

…in Peace. Love/hate relationships, heroes/villains, thoughts/emotions. To create or not to create is my question; I do not give myself free reign. Refraining from self-serving desires that nip at my ankles relentlessly; you pay heed to needs. My mind is too full, always too full, so the suffering is exponential agony. Bouts of insanity let me laugh, enjoy. You people crack me up and it is most welcomed and greatly appreciated. Enough rambling…

Sometimes, it is [[not] so unexpected. We do at times see the direction in which we’re going. Question is: Why do we not change it?
I think that it’s really only “fate” in hindsight. I don’t think we’re pre-determined but that’s just me. IF we are pre-determined in a sense, we do it to ourselves, we are the cause.

What aspect?

So are you saying that you’re in the same “river” as before? Whoever you may be, I’m glad to hear it. Time IS too short you know.

Good. Depending on your past circumstances though, perhaps, only perhaps, it might be a good idea to take it slow. But the sky’s the limit. Do as you wish.

What do YOU mean by power? Be careful how and where you yield that power.

You mean - “Pass it on”? But be careful. You may be in the “honeymoon” stage of whatever you’re in. Enjoy it and take it slow but yes pass it on.

Might be because YOU yourself are working on you yourself. Maybe I’m wrong here.
One might say that we ourselves are the prayers…
One might also say that we are not even aware of how we ask. It’s not all about the words you know.

Are you thanking your god here? Being grateful is always a positive.

Arc,

Love, a rarity, in ease especially, is the unexpected entanglement that has me petrified. This man saved me as I danced along the ledge of insanity. He pulled me away from a fatal fall without knowing how close of a call it was.

“What aspect?”-Arc

A possibility of a shared forever with another soul.

“Depending on your past circumstances though, perhaps, only perhaps, it might be a good idea to take it slow. But the sky’s the limit.”-Arc

Yes, the sky’s the limit! Love is such a distraction, particularly when you feel about to burst open with uncontainable happiness.

“What do YOU mean by power? Be careful how and where you yield that power.”-Arc

Emotions are replete with vast amount of power. An energy source untapped by most in positive ways.

“Are you thanking your god here? Being grateful is always a positive.”-Arc

Yes, I was. :smiley:

…forward with my next philosophy thread~“Closing The Gap Between Idealism and Realism.” Am I the only idealist around? This uphill climb is going to be quite the cardiovascular exercise.

Fixed Cross was the only respondent to my personal belief system/philosophy thread, “Creativity: The Pregnant Mind.” FC bowed out without any real discussion occurring. Who else has contributions to be made there? [-o< Anybody? Bring it, please!

…on a sabbatical. Don’t pine for me Argentina!
