Re: Why do they do this to you ?
even if i try to make sense of what I understand won't make any sense because we are so grounded by the verbal prison that we keep reinforcing ourselves into.
I think I understand more now. The line above is a very powerful sentence (sentence pertaining to the so-called prison we are in as well), and describes so well the problem of this world in trying to connect and relate to people through forums, myspace or rather theirspace (or nospace actually), and emails and the very worst - text msg's. As you say further reinforcing the bars and the separation between all of us.
Also something you said before that is very true - about people who choose words carefully, ones that have been carefully crafted and learned and in my opinion used as their armour, to shield themselves from exposure or from really expressing and connecting with others or with whom they really are behind the mask.
indeed I might just be bird of a feather that is black and white and stuck being on a feather that is neither fully black nor white and trying to convince everyone else the same.
If I understand the black and white feather thing, maybe you are not stuck on the one that is neither, but are breaking out of the prison that is either black or white - the rules that have been imposed on us and reinforced by many of us unwittingly through the controllers but are not what we ever were, are, or will become. It sounds like you are doing just fine as you are. Stepping out of the box - go for it. The journey is well under way so enough from me and enough of this forum life - it belongs where it is, in computers. The real thing is so much more fantastic and breathtakingly awesome as you know. There will never ever be enough words.
We will all meet up one day beyond this passing moment and have a good laugh at the high drama and humour of it all. All the best to you in your journey and of course everyone else.
