I've been trying to step back and analyze my behavior. And yes, I don't like what I'm seeing in a lot of cases.
And for the things I do in my day to day, any thing I write here sounds to me like I'm standing on Jerry Springer shouting out, "You don't know me, you don't know me!" But my actions, reactions and what I say and do from day to day are not what is posted on live journal. It is filtered through what I write, and what other people write. The same is true of everybody I would gather.
I'm not saying I'm a better person then what I try to write about myself. I'd like to think I'm fairly honest, but that could be me kidding myself. I could quote two very extreme examples from both sides, one who makes herself out to be a horrible person, and is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and one who you would think is writing about a totally different person once you have gotten to know her.
And it is kind of funny that you of all people would find discordiance worrysome.
Ok, maybe you and I were the only ones who got that. But how could I pass it up.
:) I don't find it worrisome at all. The basic nature of the universe is to be fragmented. I expect it.
I'm sure, also, that you knew all of what I was saying, but you have an actual readership (as you are entertaining) and I thought it reasonable to reply with the basic concepts of self-knowledge, even if you already know them.
and you did bring up an obvious point that I hadn't, thank you. Quite often the ego thinks we're much worse than we are.
One of the points of discordianism is to point out the juxtapositions in the world. It is the very nature of the discordances to be so ludicrously, absurdly and seriously *broken* that one finds echoes of, for lack of a better word, enlightenment, falling through. When you stop to laugh, you often see the joke.
I'm sure I have something coherant to say, but it's not coming to my fingertips. :)
