Ghostliner I like your style

I have been posting excessively here the last couple of days . At least I've shown where I'm coming from now . I plan to stay on this thread too . I know long term I can't post at this frequency . It's usually so quiet here but it's been busy just lately .

But Donny m'boy, he challenged you before I did.

I'd like to remind you that this is a chess website and it seems to me that you're in a lose-lose situation now. You can either accept this challenge and I almost certainly get to add your skull to my collection of trophies, or you reject the challenge in which case I get yer fukken skull anyway.

You let me know which one it's gonna be 'big-boy' because it makes no bloody odds to me, either way.

I don't mind Don if people post . I just enjoy the outlet . Anyway nice to meet you and thanks for the contribution . Lovely to see you ghostliner .

I guess it's all feedback . I mean mostly in life you only get to hear pleasant things about yourself but here everything gets thrown at you . You're gay , crazy , boring , stupid just about everything !

Maybe it's character building and maybe it teaches a person about themselves .

I get called a liar quite a bit . You're not the age you say you are , you don't work , you have no family .

To be honest offline I get a lot of criticism too . I'd like to think it's a sign that people trust me and feel they can be themselves with me . I guess it's also a sign I'm truly annoying .

I must admit I feel I scrape through life . Just hoping that I make it through the day in one piece . Like homer in his job at the nuclear factory .

 Character building??? What is 'character'?

  Really? You like this music videos at 89?...

  But I've pointed out that that is not observation, for this very simple reason: your observation is selective...It doesn't include the judgment made by thought--that judgment is not included in the observation, so without observing this judgment is tainting the whole process.

  This process of favoring some thoughts over others is completely escaping your observation. But that is the very point of observing: these particular likes and dislikes we harbor deep inside us.

  How is the experience of a human being going to help another understand themselves? Even their own experience is totally irrelevant.

  It's not about subscriptions, Tom!

 

  There is no way to get there--it's not that I'm advocating for a way and another for another way. There is simply no way, regardless of what I say or don't say.

  Yes, people are using that as a major excuse to escape from their problems, from themselves.

  Haha, this is what practice does...It represses feelings, keeping them under control...until they surface, because control is an illusion, it simply doesn't work.

Be careful observing thought; who we are (I am, you are, they are etc) is the people who listen to the neurotic voices in our heads that never shut up. Its true...I have a voice in my head that doesn't stop, everyone does. Pretty sure that voice in my head lies and can't be trusted. Meditation is supposed to help, my friend says. But I am not sure I can do it. Maybe I should shut up and try it. :)

it's all a lie

Thats true 

Thanks guys . I was all ready to go back to a what are we thread but I'm in two minds now .

Yeah I'm going to . I'll stay there this time though .

I feel that I'm missing that concentration on my interest.

I hope to see you guys on my new what are we thread where I promise to stay .

Tom! Try to stay !

Thanks guys .

Troy I'll reply to you in the what are we thread .
