So, it has been many moons since I have written to my blog fans. I have discovered a great site on the internet dedicated to being a solitary person. It's a place where you can discuss views and opinions on staying out of society's hair. Basically, it's a small meeting place for people that don't want to meet. Even the anonymous persons of the world want to be heard.
Categorization. People need categories. Labels. Things must be labeled to be understood. We even have labels for our labels. They're called labels!! So... how long has it been since you've come across something that has "mystery" to it? Science, religion, society... they all have names for stuff. There's even categories for the unknown. It's a linear system, as well as circular. Categories breed more categories which, in turn, breed more categories. It sometimes amazes me. Anyhoo... when a person can't be categorized, they are outcast. The "majority" can't deal with it, so they don't. Mob mentality. I've noticed that people are stupid. A person can be very intelligent, but people are stupid. And the bad thing is 1 person that is intelligent can't fight the people that are stupid. They're too strong. They have numbers and resources that the 1 person doesn't have. So, what happens to that 1 person? They're squished. They're run over, destroyed, dis-allowed. They don't count because they don't follow the "rules". And... this has always happened. Women, black people, Jewish people, anything that isn't in the "majority" at the time.
But... have you ever noticed that no matter what, eventually the people in the "minority" are recognized? As it turns out, we actually DO have something to say. We do have ideas to contribute to society. Sometimes, we even improve it a bit. We tend to look at problems differently, and discover new ways to solve those problems. When we look at a tree, we don't see a green amorphous shape, we see leaves, and bark, and the view behind the tree. It's all in how we see the world.
Sometimes there is a realization that looking at something through another person's eyes changes your perspective.
Thank you for your consideration.
