At the close of an amazing wake period
I mentally inhabit an end point, a moment where nothing is the same, when I've said my piece in the immediate surroundings, where it shatters the view of he who I speak to.
What i've done wrong is even as late as the other week reading from a theological work, he requires clarification on some doctrines, these are doctrines brilliant people have sharp disagreements with other brilliant people, and here I am reading one of the definitive statements of it to him, a person who has the kind of grasp on it as a 2 yr old would have.
A childlike faith is the purest there is, but if you're going to handle "strong meat" then you're gonna have to act like a grown up.
I once described cognitive dissonance to him with the example
I know smoking cigarettes cause cancer, but I still smoke
his response that's stupid. He could say that as i'm smoking a cigarette!!
I need a degree in some fundamental areas to adequately critique that kind of stuff, to draw it out and for all time put it to rest.
To describe this habitat would be like this
Where honesty would be cataclysmic.
GN y'all, I had a good time especially towards the end here, if I can I hope to speak so bluntly, with so little regard for niceties that some brains could be scarred. Well at least that's how it seems, you keep it all bottled up for long enough and you get to thinking that way. Cheerio!!
