Not seeds of arrogance, seeds of frustration, it brings me no kind of comfort to realise that there are so many people who have just been made into little like zombies. If a mass murderer preaches to me that murder is wrong, it doesn't invalidate that statement. Similarly with the parasite class conveying a message of useless eaters, it doesn't mean they are wrong to say that as it's patently true. However where that is a complete disparity lies in how the cancer views humanity as a whole with disdain whereas I care enough to be pissed by it. When I convey in a calm, concise simple manner to people the realities and they just don't want to hear it, can't compute it. can't fathom it, have never even considered it, dismiss, brush it off, no, it's not arrogance.I guess what you could say is it's despair.
You are both intelligent men.And both of you make solid points.I understand Heinz when he says, that we must not fight negativity with negativity. Two wrongs don't make it right.And I also understand Virtuoso when he says that ignoring it, as I see it is like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand.Both have positive and negative.If you concentrate 2 much on it.. it will consume you and make you bitter.If you ignore it... you will distance yourself 2 much 2 even care.So my opinion...choose the balanced middle path.In the end God knows best.
The reality is that hardened stance has come about more recently, it is has come about through the countless interactions with people who just don't even get the most rudimentary points. We have all been subject to bullshit which has been served up on the menu ever since we were children but some people have allowed it to seduce their inner core and it has damaged them, I genuinely believe that. It has damaged them from the point of view of not being able to reason and from the perspective of viewing one group of people as lesser than another and thus less deserving of the rights that they enjoy not really understanding why, just simply parroting the points which they have heard.With that said, if there was any blackmail hanging over Obama it has surely now disappeared after and his psychopathic devil cohorts have laid the ground work for a much bigger escalation in Syria. Therefore the original point of this thread has been null and void through the complete capitulation which he has again exhibited.

Of course, trying to stay informed is important. But if you dig yourself into that pile of dirt too deep it will leave stains. Your physical and mental health is what matters most so you gotta watch what you put into your body and mind. Concentrating on all the bad things you can't even change takes your time and energy and leaves you frustrated and bitter, just like Heinz said before.Concentrating on what you can change benefits you and your environment. A positive person is a positive influence. Did you ever get someone to change their mindstate by shitting on them and their personal choices? If you can accept that (many) people ain't moronic but "only" lazy and ignorant regarding certain issues you can approach them in a much more constructive way.Even if the world might go to shit you don't have to take part in that. Nobody is a saint, but you don't have to feed your hard-earned money or your precious time to the machine. I'm all for feeling good about what you do. Only, if you are bitter that will turn you into an arrogant person. If you stay aware of your own flaws you can draw positive energy from your actions without the need to compare to others for reassurence that you are better than them.Lead by example, I guess. If someone asks, answer without trying to belittle them. Everything is in motion and getting to a point where one achieves a more calm, balanced mindstate takes time, obviously. But you'll never get there if you're heading down the wrong road. Which is an awfully cheesy statement but true nonetheless.
The only way of tackling cognitive dissonance is to challenge it, so yeah, i know all about cognitive dissonance. I never convey to a person that I think they are stupid, the moronic description is one of observation collected after said numerous experiences. You would think that given the state of the world, given the access we have to information, given the transparent body language, tone of voice, justifications that a lot of this hold over people's minds whilst not being overturned would have certainly been diluted and yet, not a bit of it. I agree though, it is important not to let the actions of these giant parasites poison my soul or my mind but by the same time it is utterly disheartening to see how easily so many people can be switched off and switched on at will depending on what reaction the parasites wish to produce.
