A note. Or request. Whatever.
Apr. 18th, 2005 01:01 amI would really appreciate it, if you didn't try to kill the messenger. Because I will fucking destroy you.
Or just stop giving a damn, and leave you along your merry way.
I've tried to play it nice. I've tried to play it fun, and friendly, and i've tried, sincerely, cleanly, completely to help t he situation, and make a change. But it seems that, in some areas, none of it matters. Not a damned bit. Fine.
I'm done being people's scapegoat, because i fucking try.
And you know what's sad? I'm going to try, one more time, one more way, just... because.
What realy astonishes me is that people continue to think i don't care...
Wow...

But i don't know, for sure. Even when people talk to me, they don't seem to be telling me the whole of it...

Date: 2005-04-18 05:29 am (UTC)I'm reminded of Art of Noise, though. "Debussy knew that a work of art, or an effort to create beauty, would always be regarded, by some, as a personal attack."
And your way is even more offensive than mere art. You're looking to create beauty IN people.
And until it's not anymore, all of that ugly and that stupid and that closed and that hateful is part of who that person is, and to try to free them of it is to attack their being. Some people don't have faith that the core of their being is a good thing. Some think if you successfully strip all the bad away there will be nothing left of them.
So some people will resist any attempt to better the world. Like that large percentage of the country that will not vote for a president who comes across as "too smart." It's something like .2%, who actually claim that as their reasoning.
Anyway. Too tired right now to make better sense. Going to sleep.
Re: Minceunderstandings
I don't want "better," as in "good, happy light." I want Better, as in More Completely Them. Whole, with all the flaws and cracks that that implies.

Date: 2005-04-18 06:32 pm (UTC)As for the video, grazi. That made my day, or at least my lunch-break. But seeing it, I now want to see a "Badly-drawn-kitty Fractal." Deviant art, if it ever exists, I'm sure.
Re: Minceunderstandings
And yes.
It's a metaphor.
Date: 2005-04-19 02:09 pm (UTC)The pointing to mom was simile speech. Sicknesses aren't part of the people they visit, except in that "part of your timestream" way. People misinterpret their illnesses as personal failings or as parts of their bodies, and once they do there is subdued resentment aimed at any and all doctors.
Now, I'm assuming you aren't saying that all cracks, including people's choices not to pay attention to people who try to help them even when they're capable of understanding things, are forever parts of their whole selves. Because then there'd be no reason to do anything; you wouldn't be trying to do anything to/with/for people. The metaphorical cracks of which I speak are tagRef[Thing you're trying to fix by burning at people].
I was just reminding you that people may feel resentment toward an attempt to help, in whatever capacity a person wishes to help, if the helpee has misinterpreted the sickness/crack/kipple as a part of his/her/its own Self.
They may even cling to that very misinterpretation. People can be disturbingly complicated, that way.
Off to work.

Have fun at work.

Maybe this helps you ignore the BS for a minute. I hope so.
