On People...

I have realized...sadly... that people are going to think what they want to think -- often times....independent of facts, information or reasoning. This is a human epidemic... an attitude that prevents fairness or progress. It is limiting.

Today...
After declaring that the lunch I had eaten had left me feeling ill, I was told that I was an alarmist and that there was no way I could get sick an hour after eating.

It's sad... but I felt crazy after being told that. I had 3 trips to the bathroom in the course of that hour...and I still felt like I should apologize.

This is not the world I want to live in... I have always hoped for more... tolerance, acceptance, love and reasonable understanding.

    I was listening to a podcast today on parataxic distortion and then came across your post "on people". maybe i'm just bring those thoughts while I read your post:) anyway, everybody comes to every situation with their life baggage and projections and all that jazz. hopefully it isn't limiting though but instead inspires us to try to be understanding and recognize this aspect of the human condition.

    ...and i'm sorry you felt ill ;)

    anyway, if you are interested:
