Peredhil Posted February 27, 2002 Report Posted February 27, 2002 If you prefer math to people, because it doesn’t lie- Are you anti-social? If when you get over-tired, you have trouble seeing bodies, and see tangled weaves of tension, knots of frustration, patterns of deceit – Are you too sensitive? If you have trouble answering the question, “Why did you do that?” because every action is a summation of many many factors that finally trips the threshold into action, instead of a single reason – Are you lazy? If when you feel threatened, you automatically key on pupil dilation and pulse rate changes to monitor truth and interest – Are you paranoid? If you are having fun, and ideas begin to explode so quickly you can’t talk fast enough, and you end up just making apparently non-sequitur statement as you try to express the ones you can say – Are you incoherent? If when someone asks a question, and you thoughtlessly give a range of accurate answers, and are asked, “How can you even THINK that?!” – Are you a monster? If you are aware of thinking, and of thinking about thinking, and are never unaware even when dreaming – Can you relax? If you can feel another’s pain even more strongly than they do, and they use their own comfortably familiar agonies to try to influence your decisions – Are you a doormat? If you are fortunate, and life has been unfair to another – Should you feel guilty and hold yourself back? If you have difficulty defining boundary conditions on problems, because everything is so obviously interconnected – Do you even know where the box is?
Guest Lord Seth Exodus Posted February 27, 2002 Report Posted February 27, 2002 Oh, very good, indeed! I like that. It makes you think. It addresses some of the harder, and frequently asked questions in life. I've thought some of them myself; never answered some of them. Very good work, Peredhil. I love anything that provokes a little thought. -Seth Exodus Initiate of The Pen
