The lack of posts on my new blog doesn't mean I have stopped thinking and searching ..... I sometimes wish I could, or maybe its better to say I often need to remind myself I should..... which I do - do.
In the real world I went from having no one to talk to - to being surrounded by brilliant individuals, so most of my learning is now directed outwards as opposed to the internal reflection I once struggled to contain.
I have also managed to put myself back together.
with help from a few .......
Jung - Myers - Briggs have aided me in understanding myself
"I"
am whats labeled INFJ personality
which translates - introverted - intuitive - feeling - judging
very useful tools in understanding people.
No one type is more "right" to be. Everyone is different!
Though I'm not sure if we are born or made into what each are, accepting and learning how to use yourself is key.
both encouraging "strenghts" and overcoming "weaknesses"
and reading that above link kind of put the pieces back in place for me.
Its not that I blame others - ever!!!!! but it sure would be nice if it was possible to tell another person something and at least have them consider maybe they aren't perfect either???
Actually I can trace back to all the things that brought out the INFJ in me, and its fascinating to find many of my own personal role models on the famous INFJ list, even before I knew they were there.
its like Socrates said after all .... people made of the same substance are connected to each other in the sense that they come from the same source.
sure there are lots of things I wish I were, or could be ..... but trying to hard to be what you're not, through force either by self or other just makes a mess of everyone.
Which is why I put more hope and focus onto the youth of the world, its true .... you can't teach an old dog new tricks, especially when they do not want to learn (cause they are right and know everything already) ..... but that's another topic.
Being connected to Socrates, I have also given up on "arguing" to prove a point and have instead been practicing his style of "questioning" others and their theories as opposed to "debating".
I might be an idiot, but I'm surely not stupid!!
The things people say are just ridiculous!!
And the "intelligent" ones are making less and less sense.
especially when they try to use science as evidence to back their logic.
Including political science.
Everyone is sooooo fundamental!!!
and I don't know which is worst religious or non religious groups.
One almost refuses to accept facts and the other fails to recognise any harm or damage to our existence being caused by their cold hard facts and flat meaningless reality.
To me it doesn't take a genius to memorize information, if people want to say we evolved from chimps maybe we did??? it does not change the fact we are no longer monkeys and if they want to be part of the experiment and learn to push the right buttons in order to avoid electrical shock .... good luck to them!!
Knowledge like anything else if not progressive becomes stagnant. The above image is an expanded version of the work done by Abraham Maslow, whos original had only 5 stages linking man to the animal kingdom, some more human elements that separate us from that have been added.
Humans as individuals and on a whole share a common goal .... survival.
but can the levels on the pyramid really be called "needs"?
Why in our modern world do we seem to be regressing or progressing into a lower animal state instead of our higher self?
If Darwin was right we as humans work against evolution and support our every weakness until it becomes dominate.
I once had someone comment that the war for survival will ultimately be fought between the haves and have nots. Im not sure what that means, but I might be cheering for the have nots to win.
(don't freak out at that .... without an explanation)
but the way things head in the "haves" world, kind of make us as a species some hideous disease infecting the planet like uncontrolled parasites devouring everything including each other.
and the things they focus on aren't really the traits I would consider admirable in people.
looks, material gain, power ...etc.
then add everything connected to pride to the list including race, nationality, and religion.
none of those things lead to survival they lead to destruction.
If the the world wants to convince each other we are nothing but animals don't be surprised when we start acting like ones.
and to the religious police .... its true the world is full of "sin", but how do you control the actions of others and expect it to magically solve everything?
if God searches hearts and minds wouldn't it make more sense to work at changing those things first.
