To Die For (Suffers in Translation)



To Die For
(Suffers in Translation)

New Way of Thinking? I am monumentally biased
and prejudiced, racist, sexist, xenophobic, misanthropic,
fearful, hateful, resentful, envious, threatened and
insecure--none of it politically correct and so of course
don't want it all to hang out. I put this bunch of siblings
in a good sized shoebox and keep it on the table in
front of me. That way I'm not denying in denial and can
always unpack if Needs Be. IN the mean time, I can
be somewhat thinking outside the box. A good thing

A new way of thinking? Put my goodNeviling (bad guys
& good) in a shoebox and stick it on the table in front of
me. I'm not denying it. Just suspending it, boxing it,
putting it in plain sight. Can always unpack if Needs Be
--but for the moment, it might not get in my way. Imagine.
No such a thing as a bad monkey, says Jane Goodall. Say
chimp if you prefer. Primate. New way of thinking.
Here's a new way to think: don't call the big rock "hard."
It's the ratio and relationship between your butt and
the rock that generates the emerging "hardness." IT's
a crime to the Whole to reduce that relationship to an
adjective and slap it on the rock for crying out loud. The
rock's not hard. Your butt's not hard: but put them together
and "hardness" emerges. Relationship (ratios, relays,
rationality) uber alles. New way to think. You like?
Imagine.
 

Also here's another  new way to think: don't call the
big rock your are sitting on  "hard." Rock of ages, huh?
It's the ratio and relationship between your butt and
the rock that generates the emerging "hardness." IT's
a crime to the Whole to reduce that relationship to an
adjective and slap it on the rock for crying out loud. The
rock's not hard. Your butt's not hard: but put them together
and "hardness" emerges. Relationship (ratios, relays,
rationality) uber alles. New way to think. You like?
