blah, blah, blah and other things that iggy didn't say... no it's not about iggy

Talking to people you find that those talking to you try to find the better thing to say rather than what is actually on their mind. Leaving it up to the listener to figure out the truth. Now I do sometimes in this public forum cloak what I say in cryptic language, double speak and idiom that mean more to me than the reader.

Sometimes purpose of that is that I don’t want people to know exactly what I’m saying because it is more for me to get things off my mind. Other times it is just for fun.

However when you try to say that better thing the person you are talking to can not really reply meaningfully. Then we complain when we get advise which isn’t helpful, that we aren’t understood.

Part of the problem is we don’t always want the people we are talking with to know the truth or the person who is listening takes what you say in a way which was not intended then not giving the speaker a chance to explain themselves.

Listeners have become so offended by what others say they create an environment where no one speaks their mind any more.

I am guilty of this as much as the other person. I do try to practice the idea that if you haven’t got anything nice to say don’t say anything. Peter rabbit principle - also a pillar but I do fail in that sometimes.

But way do we treat those who speak their mind so badly. Well yes sometimes someone telling you about how much they don’t like you with very colorful words and instructions on what to do with things, where to insert them and where said tasks should preferably be completed.

While the horse in hell is probably questioning why you are sweet talking them with a 2 by 4 up your bum aren’t those people allowed to be angry with you even if they don’t have a large vocabulary.

Mostly not, and for those without an expressive gift for language we tack on additional woe or just flat out punish them if they disagree with their opinion or idea which is different.

There is a time and place for saying , what you are saying goes too far. But simply expressing something the listen does not agree isn’t that time.

The truth isn’t always pleasant and sometimes the truth needs to be given slowly

Just some thoughts

In other news …Karma has found yet another way to kick me in the head… YAY! Not.

It is spelled ridiculous and you are asked first - if you can’t laugh about it you might as well lay on the floor in a ball and cry.

Same with Karma and the new improved way to kick me. I know my role with karma and I accept it. I don’t say it can always get worse because then it does.

Still in other news

Batman Arkham Asylum is a lot of fun and stunt boy and I have changed roles in the way we play games now. It used to be he would say dad come beat the level boss. Now he has to help me with this stuff. I contend that video games have gotten tougher over the last 5 years but I still need his help.
