So,
I've been giving this topic lots of thought, off and on, for quite some time and have not been able to put my thoughts into any easy order. That means that I will once again be using this blog as a rough draft to make some sense of the topic and I will, once again, probably be meandering all over the place.
Standard Operating Procedures.
Yup.
In reading Lynette's blog, I came across something that she said that really resonated with me and I told her so. She said she had been reading a book that brought me to mind and recommended that I read it. I downloaded Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
One thing that I know I need to do is be nicer to the cult members and minions. I don't go out trolling but I have certainly been less than kind on my blog. While I can rationalize the reasons for this because I can say what I want on my blog and they are doing far worse to me, it actually doesn't fit with what I would like to see happen for a number of reasons. It may actually cause them to dig in deeper to defend their religion and it's really not fair. It's not entirely their fault that they don't understand things. I saw a video this week that explained it nicely. Serendipity at work.
Picking on cult members is like having a spelling bee with contestants that don't speak English.
Spell the word, "Violence."
Could you use the word in a sentence?
I'm not sure how I have escaped the Matrix and to be clear, I'm still trying to teach myself. I still go out looking for truth and I'm trying to teach myself to think better. It's an important skill and one that I want to be able to pass on to my kids. My wife and I discuss it often but we are at a point where we feel we need a better understanding of the concepts before we will be able to adequately pass them on.
There are a few things to note about my intention for a kinder and gentler blog in regards to cult members and minions.
- I am naturally sarcastic and snarky and one of the voices in my head is even worse. So, this may be a work in progress.
- The good intentions are aimed at the cult members and the minions. Their prophets are still fair game. Failing to point out the evil would be a disservice to humankind.
Unfortunately, time is going to require that I split this up over at least one more post, if not more.
Let me leave you with something completely unrelated that I found funny. I was looking around for information yesterday and Googled, "Obama pays travel expenses."
Success Warrior blog was the number 1 hit.
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
Git-r-done.
Larry the Cable Guy will be out here tomorrow.
