wolven7Jack Off Jill - [Angels Fuck]--- A little clarification, on the whole Planning, thing. It's not as simple, or the same as telling people what's going to happen. That may (and possibly "should") be included, but it is not the totallity of it. There need to be explanations, after the change has taken place, and a way to guide them through the whole thing, and new situation. Yes, throwing someone into the pool, to teach them to swim may work, but a lot of times, the person will drown, because they panic. And if they panic, they can take a lot of others down, with them, and i'd rather not see that happen. (Claude Debussy - [Arabesque No. 1 In E Major]). So i'll tell you what i Do want to see. I'm not telling you that you ever have to impliment it, or even agree with it, but it's what i'll be working toward. Because it's what i do.
I want to have systems inplace, soon, that show people the facts of the world, as understood by the various facets and factions of the world. Not simply a "Here's what these heathens, over here, think," rather a "This is how certain people view the Truth of the world. Learn it, respect it, you don't have to agree with it. Know that this is someone's Truth, as much as yours is your own." And we work, from there. This, in itself, take s alot of work. Planning, and showing why respectful disagreement is more productive, than disrespectful disagreement. Why learning is better than ignorance. I want those systems implimented in facilities such as schools and governmental training programs.
Chevelle - [Send the Pain Below]--- Next, i want the capability to show these people, after they are shown that there are Versions of Truth, that-- if said gigantic, sweeping, encompassing change is made-- the Versions Are. That there are things that have been held as True, to people, because they were True. They were they ways they envisioned the universe. Simply put, i want a system of validation, for universality or belief. That's kind of difficult, i know, but i'm already asking the damn near impossible, in some aspects of what i want, from life. As Anthony Hopkins once said, '"Difficult" should be a walk in the park.' So i want people to be prepared, after it happens, to be told "Here's what's going on, and how we got here. (OhGr - [Pore]). Here's what we can do to help, and here's some ways to help yourself." That kind of thing.
By "My Red Dragon," i was thinking abot the Book of Revelation, and applying it to everyone. There, at the end, there's the Woman clothed in the Sun, and her child, and the child is slated to be eaten by the Dragon. An angel saves her, hides her and the kid away, and all is well. The woman clothed in the sun is, in this model, all of your mothers. Who is your Dragon, and your Angel? Do you think the metaphor fits you, or do ytou think it fits everyone too well (Dr=Angel, Dying=Dragon, &c.)? (Snake River Conspiracy - [How Soon Is Now? (Smiths Cover)]). I ask, because, i think about these things, for no damn good reason. And no, i haven't thought of an answer, for myself, yet. Working on it.
Spent today being late to places, and being ill. Being rude to people, through no fault of their own, and falling asleep, in a lot of my classes. Trying to figure out the meanings of certain things, for people, and modes through which they can work, because they asked. Was also told, in no uncertain terms, that i need to be patient, with everything, and to push myself harder. And i can't disagree with that, on any front. I was also told that i shut people out, quite often, and that i should stop that, if i want to... well.. have any kind of lasting interpersonal relationships, rather than the flux of massive groups. And that is also correct.
Poe - [Amazed]--- I want everyone to be with me, and understanding, and i want to be with them, and be whatever it is that they aim for, in Existence, but i don't know what that is, for a lot of you. I don't see... really.. how it could Not involve Understanding, because.. if it's your... Goal, it should, in some way, touch on everything...
Or maybe not. "Always remember: You could be Wrong."

As for knowing other people, it doesn't need to be bothersome. Knowing me, can be hazardous, though.
Talk to you later.

Re:
And yeah, you and nearly everyone else. See end note about "Shutting people out."

Re:
No, they're far more complicated. So, if people drown in the simple version, think about the actual event being analogized. All i'm trying to say is that people Will Freak out, and they Will take as many people with them, as they can, if they aren't calmed, and taught.
Unless they don't exist. Or simply Don't.
