To NATURE LADY: does this summary make it a touch more digestible?

[“n.b”; hopefully unnecessary] - this speaks FOR nobody other than me.*

UNDERSTANDING THE UNHAPPENING
“A rose by any other name….” is not !

What I, (“man”) have been taught to observe, I organise and then manage - with my tool; vocabulary. Only ‘words’ define and proclaim The Existent. Remove ‘word[s]’ from humans, and their mode of communication would be similar to that of, say, dogs. A dog ‘recognises’ what it observes, through emulation and familiarity of encounter. The human mother enunciates “chair”, and points at it, teaching the child to identify it.

TO BE AND NOT TO BE

If I declare that Existence simply “IS”, with or without me* - (or any ‘observer’) - this can only be conjecture. In order to ‘be’, a thing must be perceivable or demonstrably observable in some way. (How can it be here if it is not observed to be here?)

So, ‘Existence’ is my deciding/agreeing that it is so. My [perceived] consciousness is the sole ‘creator' of what I [agree to] call Existence. I can postulate that ‘other’ “exists in any case” if I wish; but unless I myself perceive that to be so, it cannot be so!

HOMOMAL

I, Homomal *, [animal-with-word], perpetually edit and ‘rewrite’, (to my ultimate satisfaction), what I observe and how I see it. My conclusion/acceptance that this is ‘The Here-And-Now’, is the only ‘proof’ I will ever have of it.

“IMMORTALITY”[!]

Today consists of the sum total of my perceived, [including remembered], existence. Tomorrow is not a reality; it is, at most, a presumption. Not waking up, [e.g., “Death”], cannot be experienced by me, so I live “forever”. As I will not be conscious of witnessing any 'ending', (and I can never know when I did not wake up!), my life can be said to ‘terminate’ whenever I next sleep.


‘I THINK THEREFORE I AM’ NOT.

The human creature classifies the sounds he makes, as ‘words’.

That there is no communicating to anyone or anything whatsoever UNLESS AND WHILE I AM ‘CONSCIOUSLY’ DECREEING IT TO BE SO, does not in any way, diminish my respect for, or pleasure in doing so - or in anything I do.* Quite the contrary! Finally released from guilt, doubt, and pointless illusion, I now freely and intensively enjoy all experience, to a far greater degree than previously.

A BETTER STANDING OF THE HAPPENING!

Being delivered of the [‘fairy-tale-like’] expectations of Homo Sapiens, (dotingly bred into me), I now expect far less, (if anything at all), of anyone or of myself.

I, (“Life’s” creator*), CHOOSE to be at least as responsible for and to “Life’s” rules and requirements as I was when I assumed “Life” was here of itself: (until I realised that it conjectured that something ‘other’ is responsible for “Life” being here.)

The source of much of “man’s” misery is rooted in his unease and confusion as to ‘how everything got here in the first place’: but he truly underestimates his powers of invention. Staring straight at him, is the answer to the dilemma.

In the mirror.

Did you know that there are (estimated to be) about 9 BILLION dogs in the world?
Or to put it another way, 2 BILLION more walking teddy bears than people!

Ha!
No, Daisy; I'm afraid I'm entirely non-political.

UNDERSTANDING THE UNHAPPENING, is merely a few words about making it easier to Stand The Happening.

p.s.

That's good gutsy sassy stuff from you on site. (Though the language is mostly new to me!).

Keep a'slugging.

More to come....(refined).

I think quite a few can do with one, don't you!
Thank you.

Thank you for reading it.

a bit beyond me I'm afraid.

Good to hear from you.
Thanks.

Thank you Daisy.

To technovative

You may have noticed that Mingle2 censored a word of mine: it was "niggle"; (where I said that 'old' was an unnecessary word).

Perhaps Mingle also had problems with inaccurate reading. Most responders in this little exchange, were, almost salaciously, scattering ADVICE all about them "for people with old age problems" !

When I think of the high level of sensitivity and intelligence often found in these forums, I'm of course sorry that 'All The King's Advisers' happened to turn up at this particular moment. (Fortunately, I only had to remove one of them from my pages because (s)he? had mistaken me for a clinic.)

I really wrote to you to say that a 're-evaluation of the word' is a mite too academic. My point relates more specifically to the overwhelming and quite unnecessary presence of the word 'old' on this PARTICULAR type of site.

Disappointing.
I'll wait.
Maybe the brighter ones will come out of the woodwork later.

WOMEN OF THE WORLD COME FORWARD!

But before I go into that, I agree with you; and could resort, (once again), to Voltaire's, "...les mots: la source des malentendus....". I might wonder how many unfortunates have broken off communication in Mingle2 because of misinterpreting, say, a nuance.

BUT if more women entered THIS stream (oooops; have I just hurled a cat at certain pigeons?) - and I don't mean MINI-MEN, the so-called utterly emancipated and (you have my permission to use this word), equalifacted version of woman.....but those with their own VERY FEMALE-AND-I-HOPE-PUZZLING-TO-THE-MALE mode of expression, with an unassailable resistance to all forms of crotchety, (see previous entries), prickly, (ditto), aggressive, (ditto), and hysterically self-defensive MALE-BORN protestations.

Does this writer have an obsession with 'words' perhaps?

Not when I'm loving, composing music, playing Squash, eating Indian food....etc., etc. But on these pages, I've seen that indeed I do. And it's growing!

COME FORWARD FEMALES OF THE WORLD.

Ah, what a pity gentlemen; and I'd been looking forward to so much fun. I'm afraid you're much too serious for me.....or perhaps I should say that you take yourselves much too seriously for me.

So much so, that in fact only one of you in this exchange, actually 'got it'.

Defeated, I shall have to crawl back into my hollow hole, and nurse my seared sensitivities.

But then all religions are defended with trembling passion, are they not; and the human word surely is, is it not, SACROSANCT.

I mean.....how could anything possibly be wrong with it?!

Oops. Terribly sorry. I think I almost strayed into an inappropriate department....

Quoting me to someone:
""Glad you mentioned 'tall'. YEP. That has to go also. In my case, describing myself as only 5 feet 7 inches TALL is ridiculous....I prefer LONG""

So as you can see, it sounds
as if
I have a problem with THAT word too.

It's heart-warming to get such serious advice from all these people who've spotted my problems. In fact they respond so earnestly - and are sometimes generous to the point of effusiveness - that I feel the world's a pretty smart place after all.

p.s. I've got a lovely list of JUNK WORDS I have problems with too. Anyone want to examine them?

Glad you mentioned 'tall'. YEP. That has to go also.
