Distinctions

I just stepped out to the balcony and found 3/4ths of a joint that I just wasn’t able to finish last night and thought “Hey! The day just began with a free bonus.” This blog is a result of that serendipitous find.

Being, Doing, Saying, and Thinking aren’t all the same thing. You can’t blame a person for what they’re thinking, and that’s both because you shouldn’t and because you can’t. You don’t know what they’re thinking unless they say it. They’ve got a right to say it, but that’s when all the shit starts.
Still, it’s manageable shit. There are rules of polite conversation. There are formal rules of debate. It’s good to use them, and your conversations become more productive.
Of course being, like thinking, is unavoidable. People may hate you for what you are but tough shit on them.
That brings us to doing. This is the crux. This is the focal point. This is live action in the real world. We all have a world inside our heads, a beautiful, personal utopia (although many, apparently, have a rapidly spinning and dangerously overheated maelstrom going on in there) but whatever, it’s a world, a distinct reality which has been built up through their whole lives (and that is the correct use of the pronoun ‘their’), and its only by doing something (yes, saying something is doing ‘something’ but only just barely. People can say something back, it’s an inter-reaction, but until somebody does something more concrete it’s just talk, and talk is like smoke, it dissipates in the air) that we merge our world (yours or mine) and the new reality becomes part of the communal universe which all our individual universes are a part of.
