Repost - Command Mode

This is a quick repost of my article on "command mode", which some of the less relevant stuff filtered out and unlocked so you don't have to be on my f-list to read it.

Siege, Run, Command

This is just a model, but, people can be seen as having at least three modes:

You have a few Typos, just so u know....I figure that would be something you'd care about since this is an article, not just an entry.

"like a zebra, who wants to get to the coke machine first so he can drink the last coke" LOL XD

"Like, if I try to write this same essay when I'm not in (intermittent) pain, then I'd probally write it better... but I might also write it worse" Like how I tend to write better poetry when I'm upset....?

Are you saying it's a bad thing 2 have absolute trust in something ?

I really should have put more effort into it, but I wasn't feeling well and decided to go rest instead... well, I probally ended up doing something else anyhow but it has been harder to concentrate over the past few days. I figured that cleaning up might help, which it hass in some way (I feel emotionally better, even though I'm not finished... just the effect of actively working on to improve my environment), but perhaps stirring up so much dust was a bad idea, made me sneeze a lot (although, I have a dust mask aroudn somewhere, so it's my bad for not finding it, first ( ... )

I would say your right about strong positives and negatives having the same quality of focus on people. I just like my writing more when I'm angry or sad because I'm more attracted to tragic things. That's probably a default in my character.

I'm going to try to apply FUD 2 something: Let's say you and a friend have a falling out and you think that's the end of your relationship. But then the friend starts acting as if they want to know what your doing, maybe like they want to speak to you. But your almost certain you want nothing more 2 do with them. According 2 you FUD idea, wouldn't you have to work something out with that person 2 move on comfortably? (I'm trying to work through this situation)

I'd break it into smaller systems or steps.

If your own feelings are the problem, then you can alter them without interacting with the other person. The process you use doesn't have to involve anyone else, just as the process of overcoming monsters under the bed doesn't involve real monsters, only a real you and a real bed.

If you're trying to alter the other persons' behaviour, then you'll have to interact with them in some way, even if indirectly.

I just like my writing more when I'm angry or sad because[..]

Reguardless of why you think you do it, writing about your emotions makes you face them honestly; so it is a great practice!

Leaving emotions buried would develop an unhealthy gap between what you feel (you're true emotions) and how you act (due to habits, social roles, and so on), which is common to various degrees, but still harmful and unnecessary.
