There are many ways to offend sensibilities. Truly civil people agree to disagree, and allow for a wide avenue of expression (if they be wise).
Most of us have met the overbearing journalist type, a hound for facts but not necessarily a people person or even a person capable of everyday down to earth interpersonal expression.
And that is okay, because we can't all be cardboard cutouts of each other. Imagine if no one wrote anything down for others to read, and the cynical lurkers of the world, life's pessimistic minimalists, ruled the world.
How little would get done if the go getters and do gooders listened to the naysayers and shit talkers!
There is a huge difference between careful, calculated criticism of a failing system and the constant, ineffective whining of a wannabe.
Thank God for the lovers of truth on Earth Empaths with the courage it takes to be human and also to express something higher than our limited daily life necessarily justifies.
Those of us with a future will always look forward. There are many who would have you staring at your feet or even crawling on the ground before their seniority and superiority.
That is so much bullshit.
Shine wherever you are, whoever you are.
Be loved.

A Spectrum of Tyranny
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.

Re: A Spectrum of Tyranny
I've been on both sides lately. Strongly disagreeing without the sensibility to agree to disagree.Naga_Fireball wrote:There are many ways to offend sensibilities. Truly civil people agree to disagree, and allow for a wide avenue of expression (if they be wise).

Been ineffectively whining like the wannabee.
Somehow though I have mastered the art of flipping the switch and let go. Take breath and continue without judging myself for those things.
It feels strangely empowering to not act like the wiser sensible one.
