Inbetween worlds

The absent mind....

One looks for patterns as Jung may have pointed out; to make inference, to point out, to help see that amidst all the information/date that is available to us some things repeat them_self and when that happens life it self happens.

If you just don't "get it" then you don't "see it". if you don't see it you will almost definetly never get it. So look, pay attention and see what you can see...those patterns may amazzes you in more ways than you could have ever imagined...
...it may at least in essence be "another world".

The Marix is REAL

even if to some it's Just a Story....

Pro Bono: What they say it means; what others say it means; Lawyers thoughts? Experiences?

"Pro bono publico (often shortened to pro bono) is a phrase derived from Latin meaning "for the public good." The term is sometimes used to describe professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment, as a public service. It is common in the legal profession and is increasingly seen in marketing, technology and strategy consulting firms. Unlike traditional volunteerism, pro bono service leverages the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them."

Do long stories, even "well written long stories" work to inspire insightful comment? IME i would say mostly not. i have reasons why i think this is so.

There is a few LAW websites that i have posted on and asked both legal questions as well as hypothetical questions. More often than not i get back "lawyer speak" which can be either good or bad but is mostly blah blah blah...if you're job is to discover evidence and examine it to prepare for the best aces possible then your answer may discribe you better than your resume'.

One of the wisest quips that i've ever heard about "Pro Bono" was this: " Didn't you know in latin 'Pro Bono' means: "The Bottom of the Pile". And as sad and funny as that was for me to hear it rang true for me and added fuel to the already raging fire that burns strongly inside of me...Did anyone see the 60 Minute interview last night with Bruce Springsteen? Something he said about Americans losing what makes this country great also struck a cord in me...as i've said many times lately in many situations: This world is changing fast but not in ways that we can be proud of and in fact in ways that require "The Public" for which it stands to STAND UP and say so in words as loud and passionate as a Bruce Springsteen concert.

The weapons of mass destruction are right under the nose of those looking for them; complicity amongst other things.

It's easy to see myself getting off the subject with far out comments and statements that might at first seem unrelated. How can i be speaking about WMD's when the subject is "Pro Bono"? Well it probably has more to do with the notion that WMD's have to be bombs, chemicals, or bio ( bugs and virus's ) but i think inorder to see them they must be identified with words.

Post for now and see about later...

A private message after discussing "Truth"

"We cannot think unless we do it in the prison-house of language." -- Frederik Nietsche
Frederik Nietzsche

Thanks for dropping by. Perhaps you could start an Opera Group devoted to your quest where you could find like-minded people for discussion. Sort of like the agora in ancient Greece where the philosophers would hang out and debate.

A new college class: Blogging 101

You can't fail the class!

All grades are passing.

There are lessons but you have to figure out what they are on your own in your blog for everyone to evaluate.

So i guess there is a grade after all.

Singing

Singing was such an important part of my life from as far back as i can remember.

i had noticed over the years that "other things" effected what i sang and in some cases if i sang at all.

Some time ago i noticed that i was not singing as much. i also noticed that my appearance was changing, i also noticed what i thought about was changing, and all of this time no one around me, my closest and dearest friends didn't say a word; they said nothing. So as the absence of song became more the norm in my life i also noticed that there was an increase of complaints and criticism about one thing or another that i was doing or not doing; by myself to myself, to others or by others to me or to others that i'd happen to hear about one way or another. But no one asked: "What happening to your singing"? So years passed and i changed in ways that did not please me...i became someone else. In psych they study people like me who change over time...they "try and figure out what went wrong" more often than not missing some of the simplest questions and clues.

The other day i felt like singing and was singing all day. Strangers that i passed in the hall smiled and had positive comments. i had forgotten how much singing meant to me but it seemed that even my closest friends never connected the dots. In a way they allowed me to slip into darkness. Funny how much that happens these days with people: friends, family, neighbors, governments, countries.

Is it any wonder that when stories get told, especially Sci-Fi stories the alliens more often than not attempt to kill the disease?
( They said "Kill it before it grows" from I shot the Sherrif by Eric Clapton )

Something else needs to be here but i am not sure exactly what it is.

What makes a good photo?

In the end it's either subjective or objective.

What is the difference?

friend

Aldous Huxley speaks about friend vs Friend noting the differences in such a way that to be a friend is not necessarily less than being a Friend; just different.

If he can differentiate a word with spelling and explaination then think about all the possibilites that are present if we just look a little deeper.

What happens to our knowledge and understanding when we label a person, place, or thing without deeper examination? It's still called "communication".

After thought

Been reading some other blogs.

Is what you write so important that you want others to know?

Why?
