This does shed light on it in a different way. I agree. I had to take my time reading this. So much depth here, lots to digest. Quite a bit of journeying you've done.
Gotta say, you're one intense person, not that that disturbs me in any way, just makes you more interesting.
the creator of my own thoughts
That is why I like you, summed up in a short sentence of your creation.
Funny how so many things in life can be so revealing yet remain invisible, at the same time.
Been dealing with those problems and these problems, forever. Similar to a chess match. There's a line there about being ahead of the game. And I did point out in a comment here it's for advanced readers.
Whatever though. Put on a show, people enjoy it. What would possess someone to come along and trash it, steal from it and so on...
Your guess is as good as mine...
I agree. That's one of the concepts I like to play with when I create.
Ha! Advanced readers, most definitely. I am loathe to rush through reading this kind of writing, so I pause as I go along, but this one, lol, I had to stop three quarters of the way through and go sit with it for a while before finishing reading. I don't think I've ever done that on here before.
Always. They eat that up. Makes me wonder, that's something I need to explore more.
Complicated web. A simplification of that, is the darkness that runs this world.
Doesn't run the world. Runs interference. Simply watch how anyone infected with that disease spirals downward. You'll not find one case where they come out on top, without help.
I thought about that. Much more accurate way of putting it.
I have watched, up close and personal, and you are correct, they don't come out on top without help.
They built a fire upon ice. So at this point, since it's still ongoing with no signs of stopping, all I can really do is sit back, collect evidence as it pours in, and watch them sink. Damages grow by the day. And what's strange is I see stakeholders on that other chain supporting and encouraging it to continue. Silly thieves. Blindness compounding...
I dropped off into the void. Recent family event of a serious nature in an already complicated family. I've had to take time to deal with that and still waiting on the fall out. hence my lack of response.
I don't like that at all. So many games. So many silly games that are meaningless. Yes, silly thieves indeed, chasing temporary fluff.
That said, wherever an imbalance is created, it will swing back in the other direction to correct that imbalance. How that will look, I couldn't say, but it's been my ongoing observation of how things seem to fuction in this world (not just online).
Too many prefer blindness, The easy way is allowing the ego to run one's life.
Way too many games. Far too much interference.
You're spot on about that balance stuff. One could say it's about to get ugly but the fact is it always was ugly and will stay that way.
Can only do so much. Since this conversation, some stepped in to even help make matters worse for themselves, doubling down, trying to make me out to be the ugly one, but that doesn't really work on me, especially when the main tool being used is dishonesty. That gives me way too much leverage.
I wrote this story awhile back. It's true to life and ties in nicely with this whole experience.
Still, my position is to simply sit back and only respond when necessary. I've made my position clear and if they can't see what I'm pointing to or why, there's nothing more I can do.
