I Actually Mean What I Say

I hate it when people try to define what i say, the "written between the lines" thing.

I say to them , what i mean is what i say, and they still try to think am i saying something different, it gets on my nerves.

when i say i will do something in half an hour
i will literally do it in half an hour.

Many people these days seem to decide by themselves what they want to hear... It's like they live in their own world and people around them are "characters" whom they assign personalities, feelings, ideas... It's like each person goes through their life living their own self-made (self-imagined) drama.

Fact and reality don't seem to count for anything anymore... Now it's all about "perceptions"...

@drymer So what you are saying is they sort of create their own reality and reinforce it with their own thoughts. Is that right?

@DarkHeaven That's exactly it. Not everyone, there's still some people with some respect for facts and reality who will "listen", but it's seems to be a minority that's getting smaller...

In short, "marketing" seems to have replaced "science" as the motor of society.

@drymer I was teasing a bit but I agree the ability to cultivate our truth like with Facebook news has been a nightmare for society IMO.

@DarkHeaven Ah, the "read between the lines" thing? But you read it right!!

@drymer Everybody wants to talk truth and fake news on every side but the problem is it’s all opinion and the facts on all sides can be skewed to support any position.

Marcus Aurelius... So it's been a thing for a while...

And nowadays with so much more data available, there's more material to "play with" and change that "perspective" in way way or another...

😒

@drymer ✌️ Knowing both sides are illusion, that there are no sides, puts you a step ahead of the sheep.
