This argument basically says that because my skin is lighter or darker than yours, or i speak a different language that you dont relate to from your own personal experience,
i am therefore not entitiled to be, nor express myself in the manner which i most honestly desire to do under the very same inalienable rights of all other beings to do so...
Again, i think this is an illusion of lies that the human community at large, whether straight or gay or bi or TG or TV or CD or otherwise has created to separate each other from one another...and all this does is continue the cycles of bigotry, separatism, and "ownership" of what consitiutes either one "correct" value or another, that have persisted for this long...
Ive been brutally persecuted as a child and lied to and tormented by others most of my life - so dont think for a minute that you're talking to someone that comes by such things blithely and unaware...
I feel that We are all part of ONE organsim, as a planet and a species, and the laws of natural "karmic" cause and effect as well as natural selection will always apply in effect, whether people accept that or like it or not.
I also feel that There are no real boundaries of country or culture as far as i am concerned, other than what we have all allowed to be manufactured and fostered for eons for overriding reasons of maintaining the undercurrent of political, economic, class structure, sexual prowess, social injustice, bigotry, and false religions, as humanity has evolved into its current state.
I understand the difficulties that many of the good points that you bring to the table, politically speaking, are in our current climate, and entirely valid in terms of extending protective rights and protections to those that truly posess the prerequisite committment to go through a process like this, as opposed to someone that uses it as a shield or other means of manipulating the system and others for personal gain and/or other reasons. Some indeed, due to other psychological or psychosocial problems that this or that person may or may not have that need to deal with accordingly - but who are you, or anyone else for that matter, to judge the validity of a single other person's experience unless you personally know them and have literally read their minds, thoughts, feelings, and motivations - I believe that THIS is the crux of the problem where something like unconditional trust and true acceptance among and across all social boundaries are concerened for people at present...
Instead of worrying about what we all could do positively, to make a global difference in the quality of life for every single one of us, and just accepting that those that are evil and negative and disingenous will be "taken care of", in time, by Karma, or God, and their own spirits, as well as those that will willingly choose to take them to task and expose them for what they are, i feel like we spend more time worrying about how to tear down, compartmentalize, label, judge, and regulate evreything and everyone else, based on what we think we "own" as being intellectually, politically, spiritually, or philosophically "correct"... I strongly believe that Anything of an untrue nature will, by virtue of its own faults, eventually be exposed as such - otherwise, the old adage of "innocent until proven gulity" was a strict measure and expression of complete and almost unconditional trust and acceptance extended, as an inalienable human right, to all persons until or unless proven otherwise...
Yes - call me crazy if you want, tell the world that you think its dangerous and invalid for me or anyone else to think and feel and live their lives that way, but it dosent make you "right" about it, dear sister(and i really mean that about you)...
Problem here is, that i strongly believe in karmic cause and effect based on the strength of my own personal life's experience and am trying to live my own life more and more so accordingly. They called or still now do, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, John Lennon, and many other unconditionally loving, trusting and accepting people crazy, too, and many were brutally killed exactly for being the unconditonally loving, forgiving and powerfully accepting persons that they were....
Oh well, so be it.... still gonna love and respect you anyway... as well as another 5 or 6 billion people that i haven't so far met personally as well...
I might not like a lot of what i see in others or what i see them do, but unless i can actually stand in their or your head for that matter, how can i truly draw complete or final judgement about you or them ? Its a difficult road to walk on top of everything else i still have to go through, but its one that i have gladly, consciously, and willingly accepted, no matter how difficult and thoroughly frustrating it can be... To claim the ability to judge the validity of another persons experience for them without personally having been witness to their experience from within them, is always going to be a LIE, no matter how you cut it.. Just like all the so called "polls" that say "80%" of the American people"; "65% of the American people"; "35% of all high school age students", 67% of all women over the age of 38," etc. etc. etc... Its all a pack of lies as far as i'm concerned because i'ts entirely subjective, mostly used for specific political or social gain by one group over another, and not based on the true and real experience of every single individual person supposedly being spoken for...
I WAS mainly just talking about human experience in general and how attitudes and feelings could obviously be adjusted to help prevent futher warfare, ignorance, bloodshed, lack of understanding of ourselves AND each other, persecution, false judgement, bigotry, animal cruelty, abuse of our environment, each other, - etc -etc... My post last before this one was taken ENTIRELY out of its intended context by Terri, as i was generally commenting on a need for a deeper global sense of caring, acceptance, loving attitude and communication amognst ALL people in general, as regards the current human condition, in something like a "desired" climate of greater fairness for all....
Sincerely,
Lovingly Always,
