Disarming defenses

 If you enable others re; their own capabilities & per chance reason with them to eliminate from being lost in self doubt makes you a genius.

Maximizing effort is a painful feeling to endure, that once you get into the habit of it - disappears.

I want a woman that wants to make me feel like a kid again.

If my mind were a criminal record, I'd make mine filled with goose bumps on the border of being wicked and Canadian.

Self importance of a deviant nature

A lot of people look at revenge and think I am a fool, I take their revenge and make it an answer. - Marco Almeida, 2013

Depends of the answer.

==========

Is what we refer to on a subatomic level an allegory or just simply symbolism - the reason to ask this question is: almost everything we do as rational (automatic) in response. What happens if you decide not to engage in terms thought of as conventional - is a trick the mind plays on you. 1- How do you know the difference. 2-What connects you to act. More important

ly 3- what is acting if you are not moving through time and space. 

==========

I constantly challenge these things in my acting.

==========

I totally disagree with "eye is the hammer". My aesthetic eye is trained, I use my mind to see things: I call it my trained eye. Totally different concept. Color is blind. This should be every actors approach. But like I said re; this month: as an actor I am preparing to process the reaction I see, but I cannot act without my mind being considered in my most psychological state. If an actor is interpreting my actions as theirs, am I not being coerced into an action. The most selfish actor I can think of that does this in his work is Leonardo DiCaprio. (Does not mean I am against it.) I am simply making a point.

==========

For example: I am not releasing my true inhibitions, if in the process I feel hurt or exacting an idea of revenge. Truly think about that, actors misinterpret the meaning behind truth all the time.

==========

There are those that act irrelevant, are cuter than they care to make others realize, only form mental attachments of things.

A lot of people look at revenge and think I am a fool, I take their revenge and make it an answer.

death and its intention

 

fear and contradiction

 ”The fact that a man who goes his own way ends in ruin means nothing...

He must obey his own law, as if it were a daemon whispering to him of new and wonderful paths...
There are not a few who are called awake by the summons of the voice, whereupon they are at once set apart from the others, feeling themselves confronted with a problem about which the others know nothing.
In most cases it is impossible to explain to the others what has happened, for any understanding is walled off by impenetrable prejudices. ”You are no different from anybody else,” they will chorus or, ”there’s no such thing,” and even if there is such a thing, it is immediately branded as ”morbid”...
He is at once set apart and isolated, as he has resolved to obey the law that commands him from within. ”His own law!” everybody will cry.
But he knows better: it is the law... The only meaningful life is a life that strives for the individual realization–absolute and unconditional–of its own particular law...
To the extent that a man is untrue to the law of his being... he has failed to realize his own life’s meaning.
The undiscovered vein within us is a living part of the psyche; classical Chinese names this interior way ”Tao,” and likens it to a flow of water that moves irresistibly towards its goal.
To rest in Tao means fulfillment wholeness, one’s destination reached, one’s mission done; the beginning, end, and perfect realization of the meaning of existence innate in all things.”
~ Carl Jung, CW 17, Para 299

Epictetus

 Epictetus on the discipline of action.

We must have these principles ready to hand. Without them we must do nothing. We must set our mind on this object: pursue nothing that is outside us, nothing that is not our own, even as He that is mighty has ordained: pursuing what lies within our will [prohairetika], and all else [i.e., indifferent things] only so far as it is given to us. Further, we must remember who we are, and by what name we are called, and must try to direct our acts [kathêkonta] to fit each situation and its possibilities.

We must consider what is the time for singing, what the time for play, and in whose presence: what will be unsuited to the occasion; whether our companions are to despise us, or we to despise ourselves: when to jest, and whom to mock at: in a word, how one ought to maintain one's character in society. Wherever you swerve from any of these principles, you suffer loss at once; not loss from without, but issuing from the very act itself. (Discourses 4.12.15–18, trans. Matheson)

Krishnamurti on induction

A lot of people's lives were shattered today.

I am not going to sit here and remain silent.

It's something between two extremes.

Trump's transphobia vs. the killer pathological desires (who is going to be looked at as a transgendered individual that declared war on the rest of the world for it)

But let's try to make this count and speak of it for what it is.

Trump.

Trump has blood stained on his hands of little ones - especially the death toll in Minnesota today.

Would gun laws have helped the deranged psychotic killers aims today is also primary.

Would Trump's rage against the critical race theorists that manage to isolate the same idea of inclusion for those who are different - deserve.

Let's face it.

If the truth is clearly demonstrated in the killers actions because the killer's aims were perversely and mentally misguided is one thing. . . but because this killer happened to be transgender with encoded messages that mean something else, history will not hold Trump responsible. When the reality is that Trump's fear mongering and resistance to woke ideology and the inclusion of minorities - is a result of what happened today.

That's right. You may care to think defending Trump is okay. You may think Trump had nothing to do with this. When it's also perfectly okay not to believe the hatred of transgender people, did contribute to this attack today.

So, was this Trump's fault. Of course not, because everyone in the world that hate transgendered people are going to galvanize. The point being it will now justify their hatred of trans-people.

Conclusion: what is it this argument demonstrate. Nothing but pain for the killer's senseless aims. But in reality it is very simple. This attack could have been prevented. Prevented based on the war transgender people were facing from Trump and are now going to suffer at the hands of a child killer. That's the reality. This argument is not in support of a killer's motives. It is quite frankly ludicrous to suggest that unless you have no critical thinking skills.

If I were a victim of the circumstances directly affected by the killer's motives, would I be enraged. Yes. What I am saying? I am saying Trump is responsible as well. We need to see this for what it is and why it happened. Trump targeted trans people. This killer felt provoked and relied on irrationality of the lowest denomination to carry out misguided beliefs. Beliefs that an entire population that are anti-transgender also think are a threat to society at large.

So I believe these are questions that need be examined.

I know in my heart I would feel violated for this killer's actions. But as I said in the beginning of my argument, that Trump has a role in this, which is categorically undeniable. Trump would never denounce himself for his prejudice but gladly demonstrate cause to denounce the credibility of another. Trump's discrimination is of the highest order and now everyone gets to feel marginalized by fueling hatred against the minorities left in this mess.

Did these children die in vain. Not if anti-trans population have their way. Which is my point. Transgendered individuals face a huge upheaval in the space of this. And it should show us how weak we all are. (And Trump IS to blame.)
