Why I stopped posting in P&S
    #7487966 - 10/05/07 10:37 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

This is not a whine its an observation...

I stopped posting here because I feel that everybody is wrapped up in their own reality bubble, this is generally true for humans as a whole though.

It reminds of when I worked on a building site when I was younger - none of the workers could handle another worker suggesting a different or better method of performing a task. They would take it as a personal insult and put up their defenses and lower themselves to a game of subtlety trying to be the superior mind!

I explained my observation to them and they also resorted to performing the game upon me - thinking I was somehow actually saying that I was superior because I could see the game. I explained that my purpose for telling them was because I liked to be taught other methods - then I am more equipped to pick the easiest method of doing a job!

This is what I tend to see here. I came here expecting to see many very open-minded genuine people. Granted I have met more here than I did on the building site!

But this is why threads here really never progress, because each individual doesn't seem to be willing to give flexibility to ponder another viewpoint. People are too quick to try and defend their egotistical bubble, when often the bubble is not even being attacked.

That and the fact that only half the posters seem to actually read the thread and let the point sink in before they reply.

I'm here to learn - sometimes I do but not as often as I'd like too without these obstructions. Truly ask yourself - why are you here?

To the open minds that are here- Let us continue to learn!

Apparently not. :tongue:

I tried to stop posting and made similar statements at one time. I thought I was free but then you sucked me back in.:hissyfit:

I used to post here a lot under a different name.

The only active threads are the ones with disagreements. Most of the disagreements here come from misunderstandings.

Then someone comes along with something intelligent to say, they express themselves clearly, and nobody can disagree. You get a couple people saying "nice post" and in a few hours the post gets pushed to page 2 and beyond by all the intense arguments.

If everybody expressed themselves better, there would be no fighting, no message boards. Maybe even no internet, I don't know.

not everybody is going to understand everybody, it is nature. we each have our own unique ways of expressing ourselves, some of us are poets and some are intellects and some are in between. not everybody has experienced the same life and the same depths, we all come from different places so this must be accepted.

Text is a shitty medium for communication, period.

I disagree. Read The Power of Now, or Be Here Now (while tripping), or Zen Mind Beginner's Mind. Text can be a powerful conveyor of stillness and insight. And sometimes it takes awhile to sink in, or you're not really conscious that it has had an effect at all.

any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

i agree with both of you.

in one way text cannot convey the subtlety of human emotion as well as real face to face communication,

and in another way text allows, if the words are wisely chosen, to deliver a message that is pure in meaning, clear and precise in its transmission.

:thumbup:

I think we should all say when we stopped posting in P&S. :smirk:

I personally stopped because I found the one I love. :wink: :inlove:

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

i also agree/disagree.  there have been lots of studies to show that text-based communication (email, forums, chat) are understood about 20% of the time.

Text is a good medium though, because it's the only method I know of that is accessible to anyone who wants it for explaining complex, or simple things.

It's also the only record we have of history - writings.  I love being able to sit on the fence for some issues! :cool:

Well dang. I guess we'll have to just agree to neither agree or disagree, or neither.

Another classic POST about why I don't post...hilarious!!! How about not posting about posting frequently.

No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda
