i'm not offended by anyone. sometimes my words seem harsh. but in those cases, i am not irritated, nor am i upset with anyone.

someone wise once said:

Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking.
- John Maynard Keynes


believe me when i say, you did not offend me with the truth.

if i were to be offended by your truth, which is the truth, then that would be my fault and my downfall, not yours.

in some cases i may seem harsh with my words. in some cases it is neccesary to do so, to battle someone's ego which is blocking a person's true mind within.

in fact, that is why a moderator has given me a warning. in a thread in the Alien's forum entitled "Who the greys are", i called someone an "idiot", and then in the next sentence recanted, and apologized to that person for calling them an idiot.

but, a certain mod (who was probably right for doing so) gave me warning, and deducted 500 points (i think??) from me for having done so.

but that mod and i have had a rather heated debate of words in a different forum, and a different thread. i may have hurt his ego slightly, but only because my words were a truth that he/she may feel made them look bad.

if 500 points is a price to pay for bringing their truth to the surface, so i could here it, then it was worth it. sure, i may have ruffled some feathers, however, i did teach a thing, and more importantly:

the mod taught me something new through their actions and behaviors. and, i love to learn new things. but sometimes i have to push them into a corner to hear their truths, which is what i want to hear in the first place, but unfortunatly some people hide their truths from me, behind masks and the like.

i know it seems i am rambling, my point is that no one offends me, ever.

my other point is, when i offend someone, it more than likely is because they are holding back their own thoughts, and i am trying to set their own thoughts free.

so, crowpruitt, you did not offend me at all by sharing truth with us.

i thank you whole heartedly for your time and your contribution.

thanks,
john paul peter

Wise people do not gamble.


True. But when betting on a sure thing, then it is not gambling, now is it?


Wisdom comes from knowing how little knowledge we have.


in the right context, this makes perfect sense. But it is the conscious mind, it is the ego, it is the part of the brain that supports individuality, that hides what we truly know from us.

conquering ones fears in thought and thought alone opens doors .. ..


Only a fool thinks they have "The Answer".


then i am a proud fool. i am a proud joker. i am a proud wildcard.



Once you close your mind, it becomes a useless object.


and once you open it, there is no gambling.


The only absolute is truth which is eternal. What is truth? Well, that depends on who you are.


who are people?

with no one else around, how would one define one's self?

people usually define themselves by the feedback of others, do they not?

If no feedback ever existed, how would one define themselves?

"i am" would be all they could be sure of.

Does the truth depend upon what i am? Or can the only absolute truths be what everyone can agree upon?

does a person's "opinion" really effect truth? If one person thinks differently about a thing, then has the truth changed forms?

EDIT TO ADD:

I mean no disrespect, whatsoever. i merely used your words as a catalyst to ask more questions. i was not directing the questions towards you personnally, just typing out my thoughts, and asking rhetorical questions (questions that don't require an answer), but do cause people to at least think about it.

I thank you immensly for your thoughts on the subject, and i appreciated your contribution as well.

thanks,
john
