HERA CRANES TRAP Z – but i am a RuthIE. just sayin’.
how to show, but not tell.
this song…. you’re gonna turn me into mush… oh well, it was the 90s… artists like these … my gen was really into them…. and used to listen to this music all the time, but I had to stop because we needed to work as a united ‘peoples’ – the united colors of benetton… so by the 2000s i was back with pop artists and r&b, rap, and hip-hop, which is a mix of what i already listened to in the 80s…. we had to bridge ‘racial divides’ and heal from trauma bonding that harmed all of us collectively….
i am supposed to be a ‘healer’ in the healer’s guild and I do programming and ai tech work out there to assist disparate groups of peoples to get along better and learn through cognitive behavioral therapy that often times they are ‘clueless’ and cannot see the forest from the trees. There’s a lot of disinformation, misinformation, and cognitive dissonance that destabilizes paradigms, ecosystems and polite society. When you work for an agency like quantico, you are trained to be cool cucumbers out there – cool, calm, stable, and can perform flawlessly especially during crucial and critical moments and times.
I’m still an academy instructor and I’m still educating those at the academy and employing methods to enhance and improve your critical thinking skills. Sometimes i’m a sourpuss and get moody because of my own personal ‘boundaries’. But I’m content when I have control over my moods and feelings that can impede decent logical thinking and I can make better decisions and responses.
I don’t want to have to break every thing down to the lowest denominator when most of the time it’s base and is usually the reason why we are unable to participate as informed citizens of a civilized, happy, and stable-functioning world community qualified by decent folk with good hearts and healthy minds.
We can get along. We can find humane common ground. And we can and should be gentle folk. There isn’t a one-size fits all curative solution for man’s societal ills. And I don’t enjoy a cookie-cutter world where everyone is placed in a box so as to not be misunderstood. The good, the bad, and even the ugly are integral parts of humanity and the ‘homo erectus’ experience. No one has all the answers. Not every answer is actually right. And not every answer is actually good.
Every day is another chance to do a little better than the day before that. It’s two steps forward, one step backwards, a side-step, and you do the hokey-pokey and turn yourself around. And that’s what it’s all about.
