Me Tarzan: You Thorough Examination


 "I hypothesize that the reason Perception outweighs Truth is that Truth demands a thorough examination and we all have ADHD." The Hutchings Hypothesis

There is a pro-life poster I always see. It reads, “The supporters of abortion have already been born”. Now on the surface, the statement seems sound and seeing the frequency of which the statement/image/poster is used, I’d say it has even become a linchpin for the movement. That is until you examine the truth of the statement which is often overlooked: who better to support abortion than those among the living? Those who have seen the ills of unwanted pregnancies, pregnancies by abuse, the scar and shame of the woman/young girl who [to this day in some circles] is still treated like another piece of property instead of a living thinking being. Indeed, the supporters of abortion HAVE already been born and because of that, they are able to say “you should have a choice”.
I bet you look at the whole thing differently now. Perhaps the statement should be revisited since clearly it can be pulled apart like Jenga logs.

My boss is prone to say that every word is pregnant. If that is true – and you know that it is, why do we continue to bandy about statements just for [primarily] an emotional stimulus? Of course, I have just answered the question for you. We are emotional beings. We claim to be grounded in rationality and ‘common sense’ but attach the right thought [or even the wrong thought, no need to be proper about it] to an emotion and instant volcanic eruption occurs. Also, the truth is not likeable. It is a heck of a lot easier to just roll with a perception/jump to a conclusion and/or accept the presented as a gospel as opposed to thoroughly examining the [true] nature of a thing. The fact is, we [most of us] have intellectual ADHD or else lazy bumps.

Imagine what would happen if we actually researched every thought presented to us? What would happen if we thought before we spoke – really thought about it; carefully concentrating on every word before running wild with whatever sounds good/feels good [or worse, riles up our often tender emotional state of being]? If we did, we’d probably either a). shut up more till there was some truly intelligible to say or 
b). well…. “a” pretty much sums it up.

Think it through.

Me Tarzan, You Save Me

                                         Ah, Smallville. Ah, Remy Zero! You say the best things. "How to save the world in five (5) minutes? Die. It dawns on me that both religiously and ordinarily, when someone dies... People change. U could try to change people all you want but it's in death that they realise - he, she stood for something. And they change. Funny. Pax"  - Text to a brother: July 20th, 2012; 6:19pm * I used to live in fear of the phone ringing. There was a time when the phone would ring and i would wonder if this was the day that my heart would be broken? Would i hear the news that a loved one [friend/family] has died? Was it a car crash? Please God, don't let evil or sad/tragic intent be on the other end of the phone. I haven't felt that way for a while, till las...

Me Tarzan. You Preacher Politics

                                  Valley of Decision by Christafari. Appropriate me thinks. On the night before the American election, while walking towards the taxi-stand, I became depressed by religion in politics. Actually, I became depressed by the thought of RACE in RELIGION but since that flowed into the political stream, one can say that I was sorely depressed all the way around. Here’s why: A prominent “Father of the Faith” so to speak, sat down with Mitt Romney. Now, tradition has shown that he’s the kind of guy that Presidents and Presidential hopefuls go to at some point in their careers, so it should come as no surprise that Master Mitt and the “Father” wold meet. It is said, that after meeting with him, though he didn’t give an all out public endorsement as other members of his family seem to have, he did advise the [Christian] public to vote according to Biblical Views/Beliefs....
