Well, the reason it didn't sound sincere was because just prior

to that you told him that what he said was bullshit. But

maybe that's just me. Not a big deal. :-)

 

I think you're onto something about how this all becomes

a mind game, and the game requires supposed knowledge

about what the problem is, and what the solution supposedly

is.

 

What is so, is so, and there's no time to change it into

something else.

 

There's not even time to find the right labels for everything

let alone have a meaningful discussion that goes somewhere.

 

And yes, even saying, " you are the fear, " can function as

some kind of mantra, and some kind of correct way to label.

 

So, that collapses, too!

 

Gidday, mate!

Yes, that's what I was getting at. These conversations may not be too

meaningful, but I've been enjoying them. :-) And I'm enjoying that

it's Friday and that I got some Jimmy Smith playing... " Root Down "

 

See ya,

Joe
