Copying Is Forceful Conditioning Not Learning

You can copy anything that is capable of being a subject for mental activity (namely how you perceive, what and how you think, speak and do) eg ideas, beliefs, explanation of how things function or come about, what and how to say or do things provided there is a preexisting external model that you can perceive and then use mental force to copy or imprint into your mind either wholesale or with modifications incorporating bits from other models and it may be or is the truth that this is the dominant and in many people the only source of acquiring new behavior and ideas or beliefs religious or secular. In other words, many are incapable of truly reasoning for themselves what is true and false and what is right or wrong, they only copy from what they are told or they like to copy.

Copying requires no reasoning and has nothing to do with truth or the ability to work out what is the truth or what actually happens or can happen, it does not even require an ability to perceive what truly happens, but it merely requires an ability to perceive and experience the force changes, speed and strength of force changes in behavior of others and an ability to record that in your mind to use as a template for your own behavior that is a copy of that external behavior. Most ordinary people are unaware that the style in their own and others’ postures, motion and speech is essentially forceful stretching, changing speed and strength of force but it does not stop them from perceiving and experiencing style or the products of the activities of force and remember and utilize them as models for their own behavior.



THUS COPYING, THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY ACTIVITY OF THE MIND NAMELY COPY HOW & WHAT TO PERCEIVE, THINK, SAY OR DO, DOES NOT REQUIRE AN ABILITY TO REASON (AND REASON IS THEREFORE NOT INVOLVED), DOES NOT EVEN REQUIRE AN ABILITY TO PERCEIVE WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING (EG THAT STYLE IS FORCEFUL PROLONG, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE) BUT WHAT COPYING REQUIRES IS AN ABILITY TO PERCEIVE THE AUDIO AND VISUAL SEQUENCE OF CHANGES GOING ON THAT ONE DESIRES TO COPY AND TO EXPERIENCE (WITHOUT REALIZATION) THE FORCEFUL STRETCHING, CHANGING OF SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT ARE THE BASIS OF THE BEHAVIOR ONE DESIRES TO COPY TO THEN USE FORCE TO COPY BY CONDITIONING (REPETITIVE MEMORIZING AND PRACTICE AS WHEN SOMEONE PRACTICES TO SING A CERTAIN NEW SONG LIKE THEIR IDOL SINGS) SUCH THAT WHAT IS COPIED BECOMES INCREASINGLY SLICK AND CAN BE RENDERED AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION.

True learning is acquiring knowledge (true knowledge is what can and did happened) and you need reasoning or understanding of what can and cannot happen, what is necessary and unnecessary, what is harmful to self and others to learn.

Force or emotion cannot teach you anything, in fact when force or emotion becomes too strong, you cannot think and cannot register or learn anything.

If you saw what actually happened then you know what happened without need for reasoning or working out by examining evidence and your knowledge of what can and cannot happen to arrive at knowledge.

If you did not see what happened then you do not jump the gun or commit yourself, you do not allow your emotional like and dislike to make you jump to conclusion what happened but you use force free reason to examine the facts that are known in the case to see if they tell a story of what happened.

MUCH AS THEY MIGHT RESENT, MOST IF NOT ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE VERY INTELLIGENT NEVER WORKED OUT WHAT THEY HAVE ACCEPTED AS TRUE BY THEMSELVES, THEY DID NOT TRULY LEARN (EG MEDICINE OR PHYSICS, THEIR VALUES, HOW THINGS WORK EG HOW GENES DETERMINE WHO THEY ARE) BUT THEY (FORCEFULLY) COPIED WHAT THEY ACCEPT AS TRUE FROM WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY LECTURERS AND OTHERS.



TRUE REASON REQUIRES THE ABSENCE OF FORCE IN THE PROCESS AND BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS FORCEFUL STYLE OR FORCEFUL STRETCHING, CHANGING OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN THEIR THINKING, ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE INCAPABLE OF TRUE REASON WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF THINKING AND SAYING THE MANY THINGS I HAVE SAID.
Pure copying occurs far more often than people realize.

When you are studying for your exams, studying your notes or textbooks, you are not learning but purely mindlessly memorizing for regurgitation data right or wrong that will enable you to pass exams.

When singers practice, sportsmen practice their tennis or golf or football, they are not truly learning but mindlessly practicing to copy desired skills that does not involve reason but always involves physical and mental force (to forcefully remember as accurately as possible).

People do not learn their values but they adopt the values of people they admire or like eg philosophers or scientists (that they actually do not quite understand), teachers or parents.

True learning is merely passively, unemotionally seeing (without liking or disliking) what happened or if you did not see what happened, working out from reliable evidence and knowing what can and cannot happen, what actually happened. If you cannot work out, you just do not know.

WHATEVER TRUE REASON MANKIND POSSESS AND IT IS NOT PURE BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS TAINTED BY FORCE IS BIASED, THEY WILL DIRECT THEIR IMPURE REASONING TOWARDS SECULAR OR MATERIAL MATTERS NOT TOWARDS MATTERS THAT CONCERN THEIR TRUE WELL BEING.

HOW IS IT THAT WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE TODAY, NOT ONE OF MANKIND’S TOP INTELLECTUALS, CLERICS AND MEDICS HAVE DECLARED THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT (NOT FREQUENT) STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN EVERYONE’S SPEECH AND THEY ARE THE ONLY SOURCES OF THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT TORMENT THEM? SUCH CRUCIAL THOUGHTS HAVE NEVER OCCURRED TO THEM LET ALONE THAT THEY SHOULD ARTICULATE THEM.

Intelligence Versus Wisdom or Discernment:

One must be careful to distinguish intelligence and wisdom.

There are many intelligent people (and animals) and intelligence can be in different fields not just intellectual pursuits, eg athletes have great physical intelligence.

An intelligent person is merely a superior robot who is superior in the memorization of a library of information that is not necessarily true or a superior library of skill (eg professional golfer or footballer) and a superior retriever who can apply his vast rote knowledge more appropriately to the situation at hand whereas a wise or discerning person sees things clearly as they are and can work things out as they actually are or happened from relevant evidence supplied.

You Copy Using Force Not Reason:

People cannot see things clearly as they are by themselves (because they are stressed, restless and their concentration is scattered or distracted) nor have they the inclination or ability to work things out for themselves using reason why they believe, say or do things they do (eg like smile or stretch, change speed and loudness when they talk) but they often if not always copy wholesale from people they like ( attracted to) or what and how they say or do or believe are imposed on them by society and authority figures.

Just as no reason or intelligence is needed or involved in making a tape copy of a song, what you need is a source of the song and a faithful recorder that will use electrical force to make a magnetic copy on tape of the song that can be played back on any compatible machine, in the same way no reason or understanding as to why you believe, say or do things is required in copying the behavior and beliefs of others but what you need is a source or model of the behavior you want to copy and the use of mental force to encode of copy of the required behavior that can be retrieved and played back later and the more times you copy the behavior the more compelling or slick it becomes such that you start to perceive it as what you always were when it was something you copied from others.



To make a good copycat it is even counterproductive if you are able to see things clearly as they are but what is required is a good perception of the sequence of motion or vocalizations and the underlying characteristic stretching, changing of speed and strength of force necessary to produce that desired sequence of motion or vocalization.

That does not mean you must be aware what you are doing, for instance people are practicing and aware of their and others’ styles but they are unaware that what they are doing is stretching, changing speed and loudness. In other words, people are charmed by the ways they speak but they are unaware that their ways of speaking that they find charming is merely their characteristic ways of stretching, changing speed and loudness.

Thus having a good perception of the sequence of motion or vocalizations together with their synchronized use of force to prolong, change speed and strength of force, the copycat uses mental force to forcefully record a memory of that styled movement or speech. Practice makes perfect and so they keep practicing like golfers or dances do until the routine is ‘indelibly imprinted’ in the minds or mental jukebox.

Where in this sequence is reasoning or knowing what you are doing and why you are doing it, whether it is harmful or beneficial, involved? Thus reasoning or understanding is not involved in copying the behaviors of others.

How Do People Learn?

Learning is the process whereby you understand or come to know what you previously did not understand or acquire the ability to do or say things that you previously could not.

You can learn either by only copying from others (pseudo learning) or you can learn by using reason to understand why and how something happens or why you should do or say something or by directly seeing or perceiving how something happens. If you saw for yourself how something or what happened then there is no need to learn what happened or how it happened.

You can learn how something happens or works or you can copy from what you are told by others that may not be correct how something works.

It may be the truth that the large majority of people in this world, even those who are well educated, even mankind’s top intellectuals have very little true reason and what they learn is by copying others, by copying peers and their idols without questioning the rationale behind what they learn.

You do not need to be able to truly reason to survive very well very long in this world but all you need is the ability to ape the behavior and speech of others and copy the reasons others give to explain why and how things happen.

One way of learning by reason is by comparison. For instance you practice stretching, changing speed and loudness and then practice not stretching, changing speed and loudness. If you invariably experience stress, restlessness and distraction after stretching, changing speed and loudness and you find stress, restlessness and distraction are absent if you did not then you can reasonably conclude that the forceful stretching of syllables, changing of speed and loudness is the source of stress, restlessness and distraction.

How many in this world bother to conduct comparative studies and if they do, they are interested in matters that make them famous and rich rather than reduce their suffering or make them truly different from others by not stretching, changing speed and loudness where everyone else does so.

Before you can embark on comparative studies you must have insight and discernment. If you cannot see yourself stretching, changing speed and loudness, how are you going to stop yourself doing so to experience the comparative difference?

Another method of learning that is laborious or hit and miss is learning by trial and error until you get what you want. Rather than true learning this may be just good fortune or educated good fortune.

Whatever true learning that people have is never pure and they have a bias, they are interested in secular matters, finding the truth in how to build faster planes and chips not about their suffering and whether they are sinning or harming themselves and others through their forceful substance and style behavior that they are totally clueless about, even amongst mankind’s top clerics and intellectuals.

It is a level playing field today, so how come mankind’s top intellectuals, clerics and psychiatrists have not come to the awareness that there are constant (not frequent) forceful stretching, changes in speed and loudness in their speech and this is the only inalienable source of the stress, restlessness and distraction that assail them?

Learning & Copying:

Everything that you need to say or do can be copied without need for learning or reasoning why you do so and so it is that many have a serious deficiency if not total lack of reasoning for themselves what is true or can or cannot happen.

Whatever activity a person can undertake that can only be how and what he perceives (sees, hears, touches, tastes, smells), thinks, does and say can be copied wholesale or recombination from others without need for reasoning why he does so or learning the true nature of what and how he is perceiving, thinking, speaking and doing.

What can you perceive that can be copied from others? People do not perceive everything present but they perceive selectively from what is present that is copied from others. For example, some males selectively perceive the presence of females, particularly attractive ones in preference to perceiving material objects, old ladies or children or pedophiles home in on the presence of children.

How can you perceive that can be copied from others? People have a style to how they perceive. For instance, some people blink a lot, some people see shiftily through the corners of their eyes, some people look through slitty eyes or look slyly through cast down eyes, some people stare or prolong their gaze to intimidate. Their style of looking is stereotyped and copied from others eg parents.

What and how can you think that can be copied from others? If you are smitten by someone, you adulate someone you can copy without question the substance and style of thinking another person eg your guru.

Again you can copy the substance and style of saying and doing things, even dressing of your favorite idol like Dylan, Beatles or Elvis.

THUS YOU CAN GO THROUGH LIFE JUST COPYING OTHERS, EVERYTHING & HOW YOU WEAR, POSE, SAY OR DO OR PERCEIVE CAN BE COPIED FROM OTHERS WITHOUT NEED FOR REASONING OR UNDERSTANDING WHY YOU DO SO, WHETHER IT IS HARMFUL OR NOT, TRUE OR NOT.

COPYING DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE BUT YOU PERCEIVE THE MECHANICS OF SUCCESSFULLY COPYING FOR YOURSELF THE BEHAVIOR YOU DESIRE. EVEN IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF THE FORCEFUL STRETCHING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS INVOLVED, SO LONG AS YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT LIKE YOUR IDOL, YOU CAN COPY HIS STYLE OF SPEECH OR DOING THINGS. WHAT YOU NEED IS GOOD SELECTIVE (AS OPPOSED TO IMPARTIAL) PERCEPTION OF ACTION YOU WANT TO COPY AND THE GRIM DETERMINATION TO USE FORCE TO KEEP RECORDING AND PERFECTING THE RECORDING OF THE ACTION YOU WISH TO COPY IGNORING THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION YOU ARE SUFFERING AND CONDITIONING YOURSELF TO.

IT IS A GRAVE MISTAKE TO CONFUSE LEARNING BASED ON PASSIVE REASON AND COPYING BASED ON SELECTIVE PERCEPTION AND THE USE OF FORCE AND PRACTICE TO CONDITION. LEARNING LEADS TO KNOWLEDGE AND EMANCIPATION FROM SUFFERING, COPYING LEADS TO CONDITIONING TO SUFFERING THAT WILL END IN INSANITY.

Futile to teach copy cats:

You can spend your whole lives subsisting even very well by just copying what others perceive, think, pose, say or do and for one who sees even many people in high places are mere copycats not part time but totally.

If there is nothing that copycats can perceive selectively that they can then use force to copy, they are at loss or do not know what to do and reasoning is alien to them, what reason that emanate from them when examined turns out to be excuses for the positions they adopt or the things they do.

It is fruitless, a waste of time to teach people who are copycats because it will fall on deaf ears. All they want is to perceive passively and copy whatever they see and hear that may be of some selfish economic or other advantage to them.

People like Bush, Blair and most politicians may fall into the category of total copycats who are incapable of true reasoning who are driven by ideology and beliefs that are impervious to reason.

Kitten Almost Killed For Lack Of Critical Upgrade:

This foolish kitten in her preoccupation with a delicious meal of fish was almost crushed dead by my car’s approaching left front wheel because she is in truth a robot who does know what she is doing or why she must do certain things and she has yet to copy behavior that is crucial to her survival.

(Just as computers have copies of software only through which they can function, without which they cannot function, beings in this world too possess mental copies of software of things they want to say or do only through which they can function and if their mental copies lack crucial upgrades, they may even pay for it with their lives. Even though virtually all beings here function by copy through installed software does not mean that this is the mandatory mode of behaving or existing. It is possible to exist live without needing preinstalled software or through rigid pre-orchestrated protocols fully understanding the reasons why you say or do certain things)

When you see the kittens scampering away at the approach of my car into the garage, with the mother cat rushing to be with them, you think they are very smart but it is merely copycat reflexive behavior with the kittens not really knowing the reason why the car is a danger. To them it may be the threatening size or the ominous noises the car makes.

This kitten that is far from unique obviously does not know that the true reason for getting out of the way is that the car and in particular its wheels can crush you to death. If it knew that it would have dropped its preoccupation with the delicious meal and run for life at the approach of the car wheels.

What it has not learnt or more precisely copied is that when faced with the choice of delicious food and an approaching car wheel, you abandon the food and run for life. It has merely copied that delicious food meant single minded devotion to eating it and fending off approaching siblings and running away from approaching cars if there are no overriding reasons why you should stay put. When there is food present there is a compelling overriding reason to stay put and it ignored the program to run away at the sight and sound of an approaching car.

This indicates that much as you like to think of the cat and humans as wonderful self determining beings, they are actually robots who copy behavior from others that they then rehash as the situation demands without knowing exactly or the true reasons why they should do what they do (running away from cars in this case). They cannot behave in ways they have not been programmed or upgraded to behave and this is a fully understandable explanation to the seemingly contradictory or baffling or unbelievable behavior of intelligently running from a car but foolishly ignoring the approaching wheel whilst eating.

I heard a loud squeal as my car approached and wisely decided to stop and have a look. The kitten was still engrossed in its food and protested when I tried to move her. The wheel may have fortuitously only grazed her tail which caused her to squeal but she continued to eat unfazed.

The reason why this kitten failed to run from danger is the same reason parents knock down their children when they reverse their cars. They think their children will understand that a car is dangerous but children who can only behave by copying cannot think for themselves and understand that the car is unthinking and dangerous only because it can knock them down and under normal circumstances their parents will not knock them down but unsighted or distracted they will and therefore they should get the way out of a car.

THIS IS A WORLD THAT IS FAR MORE DECEPTIVE THAN PEOPLE WHO UPHOLD THIS WORLD CONCEDE. SEEMINGLY CONTRADICTORY BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS KITTEN WILLING TO RISK DEATH IN THE NAME OF PREOCCUPATION WITH FOOD CAN BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE TRUTH THAT THE KITTEN LIKE ALL BEINGS IN THIS WORLD ARE COPYCATS, THEY CAN ONLY BEHAVE IN WAYS THAT THEY HAVE COPIED FROM OTHERS THAT THEY DO NOT TRULY UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY THEY SHOULD DO SO (ALWAYS RUN AWAY FROM APPROACHING CAR TYRES), ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE COPIED RUNNING AWAY FROM CARS AND COPIED GREEDY PREOCCUPATION WITH FOOD, THEY HAVE NOT COPIED THAT FACED WITH THE OPTION OF CONTINUED EATING AND APPROACHING CAR WHEEL, RUNNING AWAY MUST TAKE PRIORITY OVER EATING.

If I asked you to copy with a pen Chinese or Arabic or Sanskrit texts that you cannot understand, you should be able to make a hesitant copy in your own personal handwriting that gets more slick the more times you do so, without knowing the slightest meaning of what you copied. Thus copying the behavior from others has nothing to do with reason or understanding why you do so, is not actually true learning but it is purely a mechanical matter of perception that is not necessarily total but can be selective to the ingredients needed for a successive copy and then using force and practice to make an indelible copy of that behavior and once it is indelibly imprinted in your mind, you become attached to it and believe in delusion you have always been like that when it is what you have copied so well without knowing the reasons why.

The danger of behaving by copycat or being a robot is that you cannot behave any other way except already programmed and you are lost how to say or do things without a program to tell you rigidly what to do or say.

It may make you feel very self important being the company director or chief executive whose only sole function is to order employees to do what you want them to do but soon without they doing your bidding you are helpless or lost because you have never done anything on your own in your life and should they rebel and refuse to work for you, you are ‘a sitting duck’.

On the other hand if you always did everything personally by yourself for the specific occasion, you will know the true reason for whatever you say or do (or you remain silent or inactive) then you will know the true reason of what you should do or say for every occasion and you will not be left ‘with your pants down’ not knowing what to say or do.

Why people’s explanations for their actions are always excuses:

The style that is always present (without fail) in the speech and behavior of all ordinary people is always the big brother by far in terms of attracting or diverting attention (from the substance of what they say that may also be false even without their knowing it is false) and the lack of meaning or being unnecessary only for show that is harmful in stress to themselves and others and therefore if people truly understand or have insight into their speech and actions, they will understand that at least a predominant if not total part of their speech or actions is totally unnecessary and harmful and therefore the reasons they proffer for their actions or speech that are always to justify them must be false or excuses or do not hold water.

PEOPLE CAN NEVER FULLY ACCOUNT FOR WHAT THEY SAY OR DO BECAUSE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF WHAT THEY SAY OR DO, THEIR STYLE IS MEANINGLESS, UNNECESSARY FOR SHOW THAT HARMS THEMSELVES AND OTHERS THAT THEY MUST DENY AND THEREFORE WHATEVER EXPLANATIONS THEY GIVE MUST BE EXCUSES.



Only excuses:

The man who has style in everything he perceives, thinks, speaks or does must be irrational because a rational man will not subject himself constantly to a prolongation of the use of force, change in strength and speed that is not only meaningless, unnecessary and only for show but consumes great energy to create stress, restlessness and distraction that is not only suffering but warps and degrades the mind.

Because the man with style is irrational, mad in a controlled way, he cannot offer a rational explanation to his speech and action (partly because his behavior is irrational) and therefore whatever explanations he may give about his behavior or speech is false or excuses.

Therefore when people lash out at me or what I say, they are only giving excuses like what I say upset them, is wrong or ‘too much’ or I am attacking everyone when it is they who are forceful and emotional that can attack others.

EVEN IF WHAT I SAY IS FALSE OR WRONG THERE IS NO REASON TO ATTACK ME OR GETTING UPSET AND IT IS ALWAYS STILL AN EXCUSE NOT REASON TO ATTACK ME. ATTACKING IS NEVER ORCHESTRATED BY TRUE REASON BUT IT IS ALWAYS ORCHESTRATED BY MENTAL FORCE, BY A PERSON’S LIKE AND DISLIKE WHO FINDS SOME EXCUSE OR JUSTIFICATION TO ATTACK ANOTHER PERSON BY BLAMING WHAT HE SAID OR DID THAT CAUSED HIM ANGER. IF WHAT I SAY TURNS OUT TO BE THE TRUTH THAT THIS WORLD AND YOU CANNOT ACCEPT, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT NO ONE WILL TELL YOU IN THE PAST OR PRESENT THEN YOU MAY BE FOOLISHLY ASKING FOR GREATER PUNISHMENT ATTACKING THE TRUTH.

Why Kitten Must Be A Copycat:

TO THOSE WITH MUDDLED THINKING IT IS PERHAPS THE KITTEN WAS A COPYCAT BUT TO THOSE WITH CLEAR THINKING IT IS A CERTAINTY THE KITTEN IS A COPYCAT.

IF THE KITTEN'S USUAL EVASIVE ACTION AT THE APPROACH OF THE CAR WAS NOT AN IMITATION OF OTHERS’ ACTIONS WITHOUT KNOWING WHY SHE DOES SO, SHE MUST KNOW THAT SHE IS EVADING IS NOT BECAUSE THE CAR IS BIG OR MAKE LOUD NOISES OR CAN SEIZE HER LIKE A PREDATOR BUT IT IS TO AVOID BEING CRUSHED BY THE CAR AND THUS KNOWING SHE WILL ALSO HAVE TAKEN SIMILAR EVASIVE ACTION WHEN THE CAR APPROACHED WHILST SHE WAS EATING. IT IS BECAUSE HER EVASIVE ACTION IS COPYCAT, SHE WAS MERELY APING OTHERS AND THERE IS NOW IRRESISTIBLE ATTRACTION TO STAY PUT (DELICIOUS FOOD) THAT SHE NOW APPEARS A GREAT FOOL WILLING TO FORFEIT HER LIFE IN THE NAME OF A MEAL.



There may be those who argue that the kitten is too young to learn the true reason why it should avoid cars not realizing they are foolish and their argument in fact affirms the kitten is a copycat. Because the logic behind this statement is false, it must be copied from others.



If the kitten has yet to learn the real reason why she should avoid cars and yet she is scampering away from an approaching car just like her siblings and mother are doing then she must be copying others. Doing something that others around you are doing without knowing why you should do so is de facto copycat behaviour.



If the kitten's running away from the car is not a meaningless copycat action in which she does not know why she is doing it, then she must know the reason why she should run from the car and that can only be that she is running away because she knows the car in general and the wheels in particular can crush her to death. If she knows the true reason for her running away is that the car can crush her then why did she fail to run when she was having a meal?



Her failure to run away when she was having a delicious meal whilst she usually does when there was no attraction to stay put can only be because she is copycat who does not know the reason why she is doing the things she does.



Caught Out: The kitten's usual evasive actions at the approach of the car gives the appearance or impression that she is intelligent and responding specifically to a threat when this is a deception and her failure to evade at risk of losing her life because there is overwhelming attraction (not reason) to stay because of the food caught her out or exposes her as a fake who is merely copying others' behaviour and not truly knowing what she is doing. Humans in daily life are actually similar to this kitten. Their actions and speech may appear appropriate to the situations at hand and lull you to think they know the true reasons why they say or do certain things but they do not know and they are merely aping others in saying or doing certain things that under certain circumstances can be found out and they are exposed as emperors without clothes who do not know what they are talking and doing about.



There is such a thing called herd instinct that is responsible for panic reactions as on a stock market or stampede out of stadium and this is emotion driven copying the actions of others without knowing why.



She is merely copying others to run away at an approaching car without knowing why she should do it.

She is merely copying others or following irresistible attraction or liking to stay put and eat the delicious food.

Because she does not know the real reason why she should always run away from an approaching car, namely she could be crushed, she fails to initiate her usual copycat action of running away that is less compelling than the urge to stay to eat the food.

What she is lacking is an upgrade to her copycat actions that she does not understand that getting out of the way of oncoming car has absolute priority.

Even their reasoning is copied:

(It should not be ‘even’ but it is ‘not a surprise’ that people’s reasoning is copied because reasoning is just a form of constructive thinking that can be copied from others instead of being original just as you can copy the way and what others think eg if George Bernard Shaw is your idol you can condition yourself through association to think what and how he thinks. My thinking and reasoning must be original not copied because there is no one else on earth who thinks and reasons like me that I can copy from)

Just as the substance and style or what and how people say or do can be and are usually copied from others rather than being unique personal self distinguishing as they would like to believe, in the same way their reasoning or method of arriving at conclusions that similarly have a substance and style is also not truly their own but can be and are usually if not always copied from others either wholesale or cobbled from bits and pieces from different sources.

Only when there is no style in your reasoning or logic or method at arriving at conclusion is it true and not copied from others. So long as your reasoning has style which can only be the accompanying unnecessary false application of force that can only be the individually differing way of prolonging, changing speed and strength of force, so long must it be a copy of others because it is impossible for reasoning that has style to be genuine but it is a variation of the many styles existing in a society.

It should not be a surprise that there is similarly a style in the way ordinary people reason because this style pervades constantly all activities of that mind in how and what it perceives (sees, hears, smells, tastes and touches), thinks, says and does and it actually would be surprising or impossible that this similar style should be absent in the way that person reason or work out or justify why he does or says certain things. You can work out with true reason that has no style why you do or say certain things or you can work out with false substance and style reason (also known as justifying or rationalization or giving excuses to yourself and others) why you say or do certain things.

All logic that can be examined and proven objectively to be false must have been copied blindly from others without knowing because true or genuine not faked logic can never be false. For instance it is false logic to think that the kitten’s failure to avoid the car whilst she is eating does not mean she must be a copycat because she just has not learnt that a car can crush her because if she is avoiding the car without knowing that it is for the reason that a car can crush her, it actually confirms she is a copycat who is doing things without knowing why even though it may save her life on most occasions provided there is no overriding lure not to run like the availability of food.



THUS NOT ONLY IS WHAT AND HOW THEY SAY OR DO THINGS COPIED FROM OTHERS EITHER WHOLESALE FROM ONE SOURCE OR PIECE MEAL FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES, THE WAY THEY REASON THAT TOO HAVE DIFFERING STYLE THAT CAN BE AND IS SIMILARLY COPIED.

COPYING THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS IS NOT LEARNING BECAUSE IT MERELY INVOLVES NOT EVEN TRUE PERCEPTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SPEECH AND ACTIONS OF OTHERS BUT MERELY THE PERCEPTION OF RELEVANT INGREDIENTS IN THE SPEECH AND ACTIONS OF OTHERS AND THEN MAKING A OWN PERSONAL COPY OF IT WITHOUT KNOWING THE REASON WHY YOU DO SO OR OFFERING EXCUSES OR JUSTIFICATIONS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHY YOU SPEAK AND DO CERTAIN THINGS IN A CERTAIN STYLE.

THE PRODUCT OF THE PROCESS OF REASONING THAT IS TAINTED BY STYLE OR THE ADDITION OF PROLONGING FORCE THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING IN SPEED AND STRENGTH IS ALWAYS (FALSE) EXCUSES OR JUSTIFICATIONS TO BACK UP OR RATIONALIZE WHY HE DOES AND SAYS CERTAIN THINGS WITH A CERTAIN STYLE THAT IS ALWAYS HARMFUL TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS. AND SO IT IS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE WHOSE REASONING ARE ALWAYS TAINTED BY STYLE ARE ALWAYS PROFFERING EXCUSES OR JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THEIR ACTIONS THAT CAN BE EXAMINED AND PROVED TO BE FALSE OR NOT VALID.

FOR WHAT YOU SAY OR DO TO BE GENUINE AND NOT COPIED YOU MUST KNOW THE TRUE REASON WHY YOU SAY OR DO IT. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE REASONS WHY YOU SAY OR DO IT, YOU HAVE MERELY COPIED IT FROM OTHERS WITHOUT KNOWING WHY. AND SO IT IS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE SPEAK OF STYLE, EMOTIONS, LIKING AND DISLIKING, LOVE, 'THANK YOU' AND MANY OTHER THINGS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DEFINE PRECISELY WHAT THEY MEAN OR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE EMOTIONAL OR LIKE OR DISLIKE AND BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THEREFORE THEY MUST HAVE COPIED WHAT THEY SAID FROM OTHERS.

IF YOUR 'THANK YOU FOR YOUR EMAILS' IS REASONED (NOT ROTE OR COPIED MINDLESSLY) YOU WILL KNOW YOU ARE TELLING ME YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR MY EMAILS AND IT IS ABSURD OR MAD FOR YOU TO THANK ME FOR MY EMAILS AND FOR ME TO BELIEVE YOU ARE GRATEFUL WHEN YOU DELETE THEM WITHOUT READING AND THEREFORE YOUR THANK YOU IS ROTE, MEANINGLESS AND COPIED FROM OTHERS WITHOUT KNOWING THE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD SAY OR NOT SAY THANK YOU. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU KNOW THE TRUE REASON WHY YOU ARE SAYING 'THANK YOU' YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT BECAUSE YOU ARE GRATEFUL AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN DELETING THEM WITHOUT READING YOU CANNOT BE GRATEFUL AND YOU SHOULD NOT SAY THAT FOR YOUR OWN SAKE AND MY SAKE.

PEOPLE ARE REGULARLY SPEAKING OF FEAR WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DEFINE EXACTLY WHAT THIS FEAR IS THAT THEY SPEAK OF AND THEY THEREFORE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT AND THEY ARE COPYING APPROXIMATELY WHAT OTHERS SAY. A PERSON WHO KNOWS THE REASON WHY HE SPEAKS OF FEAR WILL KNOW THAT FEAR IS THE EMOTIONAL OR FORCEFUL CONDITIOING STATE OF THE MIND WHEREIN IN BRIEFLY THE FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF IS COWED OR PLUNGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH ASSOCIATED WITH A SUDDEN UNOPPOSED RISE IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF THE FORCE OF SELF PRESERVATION THAT ALWAYS PULLS THE PERSON AWAY FROM THE SOURCE OF ITS FEAR.

AGAIN PEOPLE ARE REGULARLY TALKING ABOUT THEIR ANGER, HATRED, DISGUST, INDIGNATION, DISAPOINTMENT, DISSATISFACTION, JEALOUSY, IRRITATION WITHOUT REALIZING THAT THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY EXPRESSING THEIR DISLIKE AND THEREFORE THEY MUST BE COPYING OTHERS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT OR THE REASON WHY THEY SAYS SO.

Why style must be copied blindly not reasoned:

People are often not even aware that there is always style present in whatever they say or do so how can they fully intend or mean their styles which must have been copied without knowing blindly by imitation from others?

In order to copy or adopt a personal style in what you say or do, it is not necessary that you must understand or know what you are doing, all you need is to be able to perceive the audible effects of style eg stretching, changing speed and loudness without knowing that what you are hearing is the use of force to prolong, change speed and strength and thence based on the models of what you hear to concoct yourself an essentially similar style in your speech.

Even from a very early age, they are hearing the presence of style in all the sounds around them to forcefully condition them to adopt a style of their own that is an amalgamation of the styles they were exposed to.



***

Throughout the world, land that is crucial to the survival of animals that may be crucial in the complex chains of life on earth may be being confiscated by mankind in the name of developing housing and industrial estates. It is alleged that wetlands reclaimed in Korea are vital to enable migratory birds on transit to feed. If all these species die, it may or will redound disastrously on mankind and thus it may be that mankind is unwittingly placed a noose of ecological collapse around his neck that he does not know will tighten far sooner than he dreamt possible.



Quote: Birds 'starve' at S Korea wetland

Tens of thousands of migratory birds are facing starvation in South Korea, the UK-based Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) says.

The group says a land reclamation project has destroyed key wetlands used by the birds on their way from Asia to their breeding grounds in the Arctic.

Without the food at the Saemangeum wetlands, on the east coast, many of the birds will not survive the journey.

Quote The Independent: In the next 24 hours, deforestation will release as much CO2 into the atmosphere as 8 million people flying from London to New York. Stopping the loggers is the fastest and cheapest solution to climate change. So why are global leaders turning a blind eye to this crisis?
The accelerating destruction of the rainforests is now being recognised as one of the main causes of climate change. Carbon emissions from deforestation far outstrip damage caused by planes and automobiles and factories.

Why people’s logic are copied and false:

Not only because there is a false style and a substance that may be true or false to their logic or way of reasoning that renders it absolutely or relatively false, if the basic assumptions that are the foundations of your logic is false or wrong, all conclusions you make based on those foundations must be wrong.

For instance people mistake like as true and good for themselves when it is false and bad for themselves and others because like is merely the controlled stirring in speed and strength of mental force on perceiving others. Because you believe liking is true and good, then you think it is perfect logic to think ‘I smile because I like someone’ not realizing that smiling itself has nothing to do with reason or goodness, it is not even just as mechanical exercise of your facial muscles but an exercise conducted with constant prolongation and changes in speed and strength of force but it is a form of deception or lying with your face to please, impress and sometimes intimidate and dominate others. Thus the truth may be the opposite that by saying “I smile because I like someone” you are saying that “I lied with my facial muscles because my mind was stirred by force not reason because I am attracted or even lusted after someone”.

Again because people have wrongly mistaken style to be meaningful and good for themselves and others when it is the opposite, it applies force on their minds and others not only causing stress, restlessness and distraction but conditions and degrades their minds progressively such that they face future insanity, all their assumptions based on style being charming, good and true must be wrong or misguided.

Being a copycat is never a pleasure but always tormenting:

To be always doing things as you are told or because others around are doing so is not to know the reason for what you say or do and that is tormenting because you are forcefully doing or saying things that you do not understand or mean.

Only when you truly know the reason why you do or say certain things and therefore you truly mean them are you at peace with yourself and others.

And this is what happens to people right from the beginning. They are told to do as they are told by the parents (finish your plate even if you are full), their friends and siblings, their teachers and superiors and not question why.

The problem with many is that they are not just copycats but they believe they are not copycats and they possess true reason, they believe their excuses or rationalizations for what they say or do are true and whatever sufferings and mental torment in daily life has nothing or little to do with them being copycats or false logic but they are unavoidable facts of life.

If you have not mastered the alphabet how accomplished can you be as a writer? Therefore if the alphabets of truths that you use to reason to construct your conclusions to what is happening is faulty even wrong, all the conclusions you reach will be similarly false or deluded.

Because there is always force in stretching and changing speed and strength of force in beliefs constructed out of faulty logic they become very compelling or difficult if not impossible to dispel. For instance some patients have this belief in the efficacy of injections that no amount of reasoning that injections can be dangerous will deter them, they still want to have their injections that they believe will cure them faster.

There can never be true reasons for false actions:

There can never be true reasons for false actions but whatever reasons proffered for false actions must be similarly false but perceived as true or in other words excuses or justifications or rationalizations.

Because there is always a style that is false, meaningless (merely prolonging, changing speed and loudness using force) and harmful in the speech and actions of ordinary people and furthermore what they say or do are actually false but they think it is true, there can never be true reasons or logic behind ordinary people’s actions but they must be false or excuses or rationalizations.

And so it is that if I examine the reasoning that people give for their actions, I have no difficulty showing they are fallacious or untenable.

All Style Distracts

All Style Distracts:

All style, be it in posture, motion or speech always divides the person and his recipient’s attention or forces the person to ignore or turn a blind eye to what is happening and how it is happening because of the stress, restlessness and distraction being generated by substance and style speech, motion or posturing.

A person can only pay attention to one thing at a time or he must (use force, never reason to) rapidly switch his attention between two things happening at a time and that is dividing or distracting his attention such that with constant practice his attention or concentration is permanently divided and he cannot see things clearly but in a daze.

If he finds paying attention to two or more things happening at a time too stressful and what is happening is ho hum or boring he may switch off and fake he is attending by nodding or smiling when he is registering nothing. This is what happens even between two good friends or lovers in intimate conversation, often they are switched off only faking they appreciate and understand what is happening.

WHEN YOU SPEAK IN AN ANGRY WAY, YOU AND YOUR LISTENER MUST PAY ATTENTION AT THE SAME TIME TO THE ANGRY WAY YOU ARE SPEAKING AND WHAT YOU ARE ANGRY ABOUT. WHAT YOU SAY AND HOW YOU SAY IT IS USUALLY PRERECORDED AND WHEN THERE IS TOO MUCH ANGER YOU MAY FIND RENDERING THE COMBINATION TOO MUCH A CHALLENGE AND YOU STUTTER OR ARE LOSS FOR SUBSTANCE AND STYLE WORDS FOR THE OCCASION.

WHEN YOU MOVE IN A STYLISH WAY EG SWING A GOLF CLUB IN A STYLISH WAY, YOU AND WHOEVER OBSERVING MUST PAY ATTENTION TO STYLISH WAY YOU ARE DOING IT AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND THAT FORCEFULLY DIVIDES YOUR AND HIS ATTENTION OR YOU AND HE PAY NO ATTENTION, YOU RENDER YOUR SUBSTANCE AND STYLE SWING MINDLESSLY AUTOMATICALLY AND HE JUST PAYS ATTENTION TO ONE ASPECT OR SWITCHES HIMSELF OFF.

THUS WHOEVER SPEAKS OR MOVES WITH STYLE IS FORCIBLY DIVIDING HIS AND OTHERS’ ATTENTION, IS FORCING THEM TO SWITCH OFF AND HE IS HEADED FOR A PERMANENT MAD DAZE OR INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND THENCE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT FOR HARMING OTHERS.

WHOEVER SPEAKS OR MOVES WITHOUT STYLE, WITHOUT FORCEFUL PROLONGING, CHANGING OF SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE/LOUSNESS IS NOT DIVIDING HIS AND OTHERS’ ATTENTION AND HEADED FOR PERMANENTLY UNIFIED CONCENTRATION.

Laughter and smiling always applies force on the mind:

No matter how soft or trace the laughter or smiling, they always apply force on the mind and transmit force not reason to the observer.

A smile or laughter may be faked to impress or please others but even if they are faked, they apply force on the person’s mind and impart force on whoever observes.

When there is a controlled stirring in speed and strength of force of the person’s force of going against self when he smiles or laughs, the person believes his smile or laughter is genuine but even here he is applying force on his own mind that will stress and harm it and transmitting force that will stress and harm others.

BECAUSE ALL SMILING AND LAUGHTER ARE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY, ONLY NECESSARY TO PLEASE, IMPRESS, INTIMIDATE OR DOMINATE OTHERS WHILST WASTING ENERGY AND CREATING STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT IS CONDITIONING AND DEGRADING THE MIND, ALL WHO SMILE AND LAUGH ARE HEADED FOR A CLIFF THEY CANNOT SEE DOWN WHICH THEY MUST JUMP. THEREFORE JESUS SAID WOE TO YOU WHO LAUGHS FOR YOU SHALL WEEP.

Style Is Always The Big Brother By Far Of The Substance & Style Combo:

It is a serious mistake and wrong view to think that the style that accompanies ordinary people’s speech, motion and posturing is a harmless individual quirk or even beneficial accompaniment because style is always the big brother by far in any substance and style combo in terms of ‘grabbing’ the attention of the recipient, energy consumption, stress, restlessness and distraction creation and because style is totally unnecessary and false (style is entirely an exercise not in reason but in force that has no truth in it), it seriously taints, even renders toxic whatever truth or benevolence that is conveyed in that stylish speech, action or posture. If the substance is objectively proven to be false then the entirety of substance & style in speech or action is false and harmful to the actor and others.

The presence of a simultaneous style in the speech or action divides the perpetrator’s and his audience’s attention never in an equal fashion but style grabs the limelight because style is all about force, the forceful prolonging, changing of speed and strength of force that grabs attention more than the passive force free substance that is often itself false. Often it is because what is said or done is false that attention must be diverted from it by an accompanying style so that the recipient will be more agreeable to and accede to the false or deceitful demands made on him.

Because style is all about using mental and physical force to prolong syllables or units of motion, change speed and loudness/strength of force, it consumes the lion’s share of energy to produce the lion if not entire share of stress, restlessness and distraction.

BECAUSE STYLE IS FALSE, MEANINGLESS (ONLY FOR SHOW) AND IMPARTS FORCE ON THE RECIPIENT CAUSING HIM PAIN IN STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT ALSO CONDITIONS HIM (MAKES HIM BETTER AT AROUSING STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION) AND DEGRADES HIS MIND WITH AGE, THE PERSON WHO SPEAKS AND MOVES WITH STYLE IS ALWAYS A HYPOCRITE WHOSE HARMING OTHERS BELIES AND OVERWHELMS WHATEVER GOOD OR TRUTH HE MAY SPEAK OR DO.

EVEN WHEN SPOKEN OR DONE SOFTLY OR SEDATELY, FOR ONE WHO SEES RIGHTLY SEE THAT THE STYLE THAT IS PRESENT IS ALWAYS THE BIG BROTHER THAT FAR OUTWEIGHS THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS SAID OR DONE IN TERMS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION, STRESS AND RESTLESSNESS PRODUCTION AND GRABBING THE LION’S SHARE OF ATTENTION.

THE FORCE THAT IS IN THE STYLE AND WHAT STYLE IS ALL ABOUT ALWAYS ATTRACTS ATTENTION OR STIRS THE MENTAL FORCE OF THE RECIPIENT TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS SAID OR DONE THAT HAS NO FORCE THAT CAN SIMILARLY ATTRACT OR COMMAND ATTENTION AND IS THEREFORE SHOVED ASIDE.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PRESENCE OF STYLE OR THE PROLONGING OF SYLLABLES OR UNITS OF MOTION, THE CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE IN SPEECH OR MOTION BECAUSE THE PRESENCE OF STYLE RENDERS THAT PERSON A HYPOCRITE & PERSECUTOR WHOSE HARMING OTHERS THROUGH HIS STYLE FAR OUTWEIGHS WHATEVER TRUTH OR GOOD HE SAYS OR DOES.

Do Not Underestimate Style:

Do not underestimate style or the stretching of syllables, changing of speed and loudness when speaking because it is the root of many deadly maladies that is suffering now, will lead to increasing suffering with age and after you depart you will head for perdition.

Style means you must be a robot: Because a person’s individual consistent, stereotyped style cannot be produced live, it means you must exist as an overrated disc jockey tending to a mental jukebox of what style and substance postures, speech and actions that you desire to project to please, impress, dominate and intimidate others. You are little more than an overrated sophisticated robot that you do not realize will one day refuse to obey your command, will go mad and carry out speech and actions autonomously against your wishes that is inappropriate to the situation.

Style means you attention must be divided or scattered: Because style is simultaneous with the substance of what is said, each time you speak or do something with style you are dividing your attention or learning to ignore that will end in mad distraction or daze (inability to concentrate).

Style means you must waste prodigious energy to produce insoluble stress, restlessness and distraction.

Style means you must be a hypocrite because you cannot mean what you are rehashing as faked live from a mental jukebox, you cannot be benevolent when you are harming others with the style that stresses, make restless and distract others.

A study can never have impact:

It is always false to speak of the impact of a study and it reflects the predilection or attraction to use forceful words of people driven by force that they choose impact in preference to the consequences or significance or results of a study.

Only physical objects like a stone or a car can have an impact on another object. A study is not a physical object and therefore cannot impact on anything except in the false perception of the foolish person who does not realize he is flirting with future mad perception.

If you argue that it is understood what is meant by the impact of a study (that you mean results), it is a matter of semantics, then you are speaking carelessly (and will be judged), you are setting yourself up for confusion when impact or collision can mean result or consequence. Impact or collision is very different from result or consequence and one should be careful to distinguish between them unless one enjoys emotional confusion that leads to insanity.

(Again what has happened cannot have any impact because what has happened is not a physical entity but an account or description of what has happened that cannot collide or impact with anyone.)

The Great Attractor & Distracter:

Why is it so hard for beings in this world, even those who are intelligent and spiritually inclined to recognize to understand and exit style even when style is meaningless, false, is the only root of the stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate that beset them and mandates they exist as robots instead real live persons? Even when they are frequently speaking about style they cannot define what they mean by style and cannot recognize themselves practicing style.



Why is it, if what the Buddha said is true that you have existed for innumerable eons each lasting billions of years and you have shed your blood greater than water in the four great oceans, a being who has not been a sibling or parent in a past existence is hard to find, you are still here and undaunted by the stress, restlessness and distraction that torment you and is conditioning you ever more greater to them?



There is a reason for this and why beings are foolishly trapped in existences in the lower realms for innumerable eons that last for billions of years each and it is this:



IN TERMS OF THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT ATTENTION THE SUBSTANCE OF A PERSON'S STANCE, MOTION OR SPEECH IS NO MATCH (IT IS A WALKOVER) FOR THE FALSE FOR SHOW STYLE THAT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESENT BECAUSE STYLE IS ALL ABOUT FORCE OFTEN TO INTENSE & RAPIDLY CHANGING LEVELS THAT UNFAILINGLY IMPACT ON THE PERSON'S CONSCIOUSNESS WHILST THE SUBSTANCE OF A PERSON'S STANCE, MOTION AND SPEECH NEVER HAS CONVEYED FORCE TO COMPETE EQUALLY FOR ATTENTION BECAUSE THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT HAPPENED IS MERELY A PASSIVE SEQUENCE OR RECORD OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY FOOLISH DISTRACTED PEOPLE FIND STYLE SO COMPELLING AND MEANINGFUL WHEN IT IS FALSE, STRESSFUL, RESTLESS AND IMPAIRS CONCENTRATION.



THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IS ONLY A FORCE FREE VISUAL OR AUDIO RECORD OF WHAT ACTUALLY TRANSPIRED IN TERMS OF THE PERSON’S POSTURE, MOTION OR SPEECH AND THIS IS NO MATCH FOR THE STYLE IF SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESENT IN TERMS OF ATTRACTING ATTENTION BECAUSE STYLE IS A VISUAL OR AUDIO OR COMBINED TRANSMISSION OF FORCE IMPARTING FORCE EVEN TO GREAT INTENSITY AND GREAT FORCEFUL CHANGES OF SPEED ON THE ATTENTION OF BOTH THE PERPETRATOR AND HIS AUDIENCE THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION THAT CANNOT BE DENIED BY ORDINARY UNSKILFUL PEOPLE WHOSE ATTENTION ARE NOT CENTERED, WHO HAVE NOT CULTIVATED PASSIVE IMPERTURBABILITY. WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE DO WHEN CONFRONTED BY STYLE OR AUDIOVISUAL TRANSMISSION OF FORCE THAT HAS BECOME UNBEARABLE TO THEM IS TO FORCEFULLY DENY, TO FORCEFULLY SWITCH OFF WHICH IS ITSELF DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS FORCEFUL ISOLATION FROM REALITY AND EMBRACING PRIVATE FALSE REALITY.



IF IT IS TRUE THERE IS STYLE CONSTANTLY PRESENT IN YOUR STANCE, MOTION AND SPEECH AND IT IS A POWERFUL ATTRACTOR AND DISTRACTOR OF YOUR ATTENTION FOR WHICH THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR STANCE, MOTION AND SPEECH IS NO MATCH SO THAT YOU ARE MESMERIZED AND DETAINED IN A ROBOTIC EXISTENCE BESET BY STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THEN THE MOST ANOTHER PERSON CAN DO FOR YOU IS TO SPELL IT OUT CLEARLY TO YOU WHAT IS MEANT BY STYLE AND SHOULD YOU BE FOOLISH ENOUGH AS TO CONTINUE TO BE CLUELESS OR YOU NEVERTHELESS FIND STYLE IRRESISTIBLE THEN NOTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE FOR YOU AND SHOULD THAT MEAN ANOTHER ETERNITY BONDED TO THIS WORLD, THEN SO BE IT.



IF ONE FORCES ONESELF TO PRACTICE TENNIS FOR MANY HOURS DAILY THEN WITH TIME DESPITE THE TOIL THAT IT CAN BECOME, ONE BECOMES MINDLESSLY GOOD IN ONE’S OWN WAY THAT DIFFERS FROM OTHERS IN HOW TO PLAY TENNIS. SIMILARLY IF ONE FORCES ONESELF TO PRACTICE STYLE IN ONE’S POSTURES, MOTION AND SPEECH THEN WITH TIME DESPITE THE TOIL THAT IT CAN BECOME, ONE BECOMES MINDLESSLY GOOD IN ONE’S OWN STYLE THAT DIFFERS FROM OTHERS AND THUS PROGRAMMED, A ROBOT OF AUTOMATED STYLE THAT NEEDS NO THINKING, ONE MAY BE BLINDED OR UNABLE TO SEE THE HARM ONE IS DOING TO ONESELF AND OTHERS OR BE DISINCLINED TO WORK PERSISTENTLY TO SHED ONE’S INGRAINED STYLE DESPITE ITS CONSIDERABLE DRAWBACKS (STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION), PARTICULARLY WHEN THERE IS OVERWHELMING SOCIAL COERCION TO ADOPT A STYLE AND APPRECIATE STYLE IN OTHERS. IN SUCH A FASHION THE FOOLISH PERSON DRIFTS ALONG INDIFFERENT TO THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT BESET HIM THINKING ALL IS FINE WHEN HE IS HEADED FOR A CERTAIN CLIFF.



DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF STYLE OR THE USE OF MENTAL FORCE TO PROLONG SYLLABLES, UNITS OF MOTION, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS/STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT IS UNIVERSALLY PRESENT IN THE POSTURES, MOTION AND VOCALIZATIONS OF ALL BEINGS HERE BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY KEY TO THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT PERSECUTES THEM AND DETAINS THEM IN THE LOWER REALMS AND CONSIGNS THEM TO A ROBOTIC EXISTENCE FOR WHATEVER THEY SAY OR DO IS BY REHASH OR MEMORY NOT FRESH FOR THAT OCCASION.



Whenever style is present in a person's posture, motion or speech it is a great attractor and thence distracter of attention compared with the substance component.

If you think style is not present or only sometimes present in the posture, motion and speech of all beings here, you have poor discernment because style is a constant presence in all postures or stances, motion and vocalizations.



When a person stands sexually provocatively like an Elvis then his being standing is the substance of his stance whilst the complex twisting of his body, limbs, neck and head around his longitudinal axis, his thrusting forward of his chest, right shoulder and hip is the style of his stance that is always present in a consistent fashion that can be objectively defined whenever he stands.



When a person speaks angrily then what he says angrily is the substance of his speech whilst the angry way with which he says it is the style of his speech that can be objectively defined or described that differs from others. Different people speak in an angry way that differs from each other but is consistent in that person to facsimile proportion.



In the same way there is always style in the motions of all beings, not just humans that differ from male to female and individually but is characteristic in a consistent fashion in that person.



THEREFORE TO ONE WHO SEES THINGS RIGHTLY AS THEY ARE, THERE IS ALWAYS A SIMULTANEOUS COMBO OF SUBSTANCE AND STYLE THAT IS UNNECESSARY BUT NECESSARY TO IMPRESS, PLEASE, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE CONSUMING PRODIGIOUS ENERGY TO CREATE MOUNTING STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IN WHATEVER STANCE, MOTION AND VOCALIZATION BEINGS HERE UNDERTAKE.



COMPARED TO THE SUBSTANCE OF A STANCE, MOTION OR SPEECH, THE STYLE COMPONENT IS A GREAT ATTRACTOR OF THE RECIPIENT'S ATTENTION BECAUSE STYLE IS ALL ABOUT FORCE (FORCEFULLY PROLONGING, FORCEFUL CHANGING OF SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE) THAT IMPACTS ON THE TARGET'S CONSCIOUSNESS WHILST THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN STANCE, SPEECH AND MOTION HAS NO FORCE TRANSMITTED THAT WILL IMPACT ON THE TARGET'S CONSCIOUSNESS. THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN STANCE, MOTION OR SPEECH IS A FORCE FREE VISUAL RECORD OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WHILST THE STYLE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN STANCE, MOTION AND SPEECH IS ALL ABOUT FORCEFUL CHANGES THAT IMPACT ON THE OBSERVER'S CONSCIOUSNESS.

BECAUSE STYLE IS MEANINGLESS, ONLY FOR SHOW THAT IS HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN STANCE, MOTION AND SPEECH AND IT IS POWERFUL ATTRACTOR OF ATTENTION COMPARED WITH THE POWER FREE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN STANCE, MOTION AND SPEECH, IT(STYLE) IS A POWERFUL DISTRACTOR OF THE ATTENTION OF THE OBSERVER.

THIS POWERFUL ATTRACTION AND DISTRACTION OF THE OBSERVER'S ATTENTION IS THE REASON WHY ALL STYLISH PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE STYLE FIND STYLE IN THEMSELVES AND OTHERS IRRESISTIBLE, A POWERFUL ATTRACTOR, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHED EVEN DESPITE STYLE BEING AT THE HEART OF THE TORMENTING STRESS, RESTLESNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT REGULARLY BESET THEM. BECAUSE THEY ARE POWERFULLY ATTRACTED AND DISTRACTED BY THE UBIQUITIOUS STYLE PRESENT IN THEMSELVES AND ALL OTHERS, THEY FIND IT HARD TO DISCERN THE PRESENCE OF STYLE AND SEE THE INFALLIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN STYLE AND STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION.



JESUS SAID FOOLISHNESS OR THE VULNERABILITY TO FALSITY IS NOT BLAMELESS BUT BLAMEWORTHY AND THIS SLAVISH ATTRACTION FOR, APPRECIATION OF AND BEING DISTRACTED BY STYLE THAT IS FALSE, UNNECESSARY, MEANINGLESS, WASTES PRODIGIOUS ENERGY TO CREATE CUMULATIVE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL OR FUNDAMENTAL FOOLISHNESS THAT KEEPS MEN OR BEINGS BONDED TO THIS WORLD OF SUFFERING IN ETERNAL HABITATIONS THAT JESUS HAD ALLUDED TO.

A Person Is Not Innocent Until Proven So:

Contrary the widely held false principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty it is false logic and perception, presumption that will end in madness to assume that a person is innocent until proven guilty or you give others the benefit of the doubt.

Either you know or do not know if someone is innocent, you do not doubt and give others the benefit of the doubt and therefore a person is not innocent until proven by evidence that he is innocent.

The Vital Difference Between being sorry and apologizing:

People readily express their being sorry but very few actually apologize for what they have done or said. Why is that?

Being sorry is the emotional experience that may be genuine or faked of mental pain that may be accompanied by facial and bodily expressions and has nothing to do with reason whereas apologizing is the reason based solemn emotion free acknowledgement that what one said or did is false, wrong or hurtful. Being sorry is always rote or standardized rehashed from one’s mental jukebox whilst apologizing is the specific to the occasion acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Because people operate by impersonal rehash they thus find it hard to apologize but easy to rehash their being sorry for the occasion at hand.

IT IS MUDDLED THINKING TO THINK THAT BEING SORRY AND APOLOGIZING ARE THE SAME BECAUSE THEY ARE AS DIFFERENT AS CHALK (BEING SORRY) AND CHEESE (APOLOGIZING). WHAT IS THE USE OF EXPERIENCING MENTAL AND BODILY PAIN AS A RESULT OF AWARENESS OF DOING WRONG EXCEPT THAT IT IS TO CONVEY THAT YOU ARE FEELING PAIN FOR YOUR WRONG THAT WILL PLEASE THOSE WHO ENJOY SEEING OTHERS’ SUFFER FOR WRONG DONE ON THEM. IT IS TRULY USEFUL AND BENEFICIAL TO BECOME AWARE WITH REASON THAT WHAT ONE SAID OR DONE IS WRONG BECAUSE THUS AWARE ONE IS UNLIKELY TO SIMILARLY INFRACT.



Attraction has nothing to do with goodness or trueness:

The fact that the style in a person’s postures, motion and speech is a great attractor and thence distracter because it draws attention from the substance of what is audio-visually happening has nothing to do with goodness or trueness because attraction is merely the forceful or use of force to draw or attract your attention and distracting is always harmful because it divides your attention. Attraction is always forceful and applies force on your mind that causes pain, conditions and degrades it and so the fact that style is an incomparable attractor of attention is not wonderful or good but signifies style is bad and you have false perception to think that style is wonderful because it is a great attractor.

PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE ATTRACTED TO MANY THINGS INCLUDING THE STYLE IN THEMSELVES AND OTHERS BECAUSE STYLE IS ALL ABOUT FORCE, STYLE IS THE FORCEFUL PROLOGING OF SYLLBLES, FORCEFUL CHANGING IN SPEED AND CHANGE OF FORCE THAT IMPACTS ON OR DEMANDS THEIR ATTENTION THAT THEY CANNOT HELP GIVING BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSKILFUL AND POSSESS MENTAL FORCE THAT CAN BE STIRRED OR HIJACKED.

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO SOMETHING DOES NOT MEAN BEING ATTRACTED IS MEANINGFUL OR TRUE BUT IT MAY JUST A MINDLESS HARMFUL STIRRING OF YOUR OWN MENTAL FORCE BY YOURSELF OR OTHERS THAT YOU CANNOT HELP.

STYLE USES FORCE TO HIT YOU:

STYLE USES FORCE TO IMPACT ON OR HIT YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO ATTRACT ATTENTION TO IT WHILST THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR POSTURE, MOTION OR SPEECH IS A FORCE FREE AUDIO-VISUAL RECORD OF WHAT HAPPENED.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE FORCE THAT IS ALWAYS PRESENT IN STYLE; THAT IS THE EMBODIMENT OF STYLE, THE STYLE THAT IS ONLY THE FORCEFUL PROLONGING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS ALWAYS IMPACT ON OR HITS YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT AND THEREFORE COMMANDS YOUR ATTENTION AND DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM WHAT OR THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING OR DOING THAT MAY BE TRUE OR FALSE.

It Takes Two To Tango:

STYLE IS ALL ABOUT FORCE (USING FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE) AND FOR THIS FORCE THAT IS THE PUPPETEER BEHIND STYLE TO WORK AS A POTENT ATTRACTOR AND DISTRACTER IT REQUIRES A MIND THAT HAS MENTAL FORCE FOR IT TO WORK ITS MISCHIEF AND THE STRONGER THE FOOLISH MIND’S MENTAL FORCE, THE MORE POTENT IS STYLE AS AN ATTRACTOR AND DISTRACTER FOR THAT MIND.

It is not necessarily that style which is essentially the various forms of unnecessary activities of force (not reason) must be a potent attractor and distracter of the attention or concentration of all beings but style can only be a potent attractor for permissive beings who possess strong mental forces that style can target. If your mental force is weak or absent then it is difficult for style to work its alchemy or deceit.

The stronger a being’s mental force, the more potent is style (using force to prolong or stretch, change speed and strength of force in one’s postures, motion and speech) as a attractor and thence distracter of that being’s attention if style is present simultaneously with the substance of what is postured, done or said.

How does one develop one’s mental force so strongly that style becomes a potent attractor and distracter of one’s attention?

One develops one’s mental force by constantly applying or exercising it unnecessarily even to great intensity and rapid changes in intensity and speed by constantly using mental force to stretch one’s syllables and motion, change speed and loudness.

How does one develop one’s mind so that style no longer is a potent attractor and distracter?

One develops one’s mind so that style no longer is a potent attractor and distracter by not using one’s mental force unnecessarily so that it becomes effete by paying attention not to stretch syllables, change speed or loudness in speech that have their equivalents in posture, motion and thought.

IT IS NOT MANDATORY THAT ONE’S AWARENESS MUST BE HELD CAPTIVE AND PERMANENTLY DISTRACTED BY THE STYLE PRESENT IN THE POSTURES, MOTIONS AND SPEECH OF EVERYONE HERE BECAUSE A POTENT MENTAL FORCE IN THE RECIPIENT IS A REQUISITE FOR STYLE’S POTENCY AS AN ATTRACTOR AND IF THE WISE PERSON WORKS TO ATROPHY HIS MENTAL FORCE THROUGH DISUSE BY NOT STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS, STYLE LOSES ITS POTENCY TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT HIM.

BECAUSE STYLE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PROXY FOR OR VEHICLE TO CONVEY FORCE AND FORCE IS AN ATTRACTOR OF ATTENTION PAR EXCELLENCE, WHENEVER STYLE IS PRESENT IN A POSTURE, MOVEMENT OR SPEECH IT IS A POTENT DIVERTER OF ATTENTION FROM WHAT IS SAID OR DONE, STYLE IS A THUS A POTENT DIVIDER OF ATTENTION WITH A PREPONDERANCE TOWARDS IT OR THE OBSERVER IS FORCED TO SWITCH OFF TO ONLY SAMPLE IN EXCERPTS WHAT IS SAID OR DONE TO HIM IN A SIMULTANEOUS SUBSTANCE AND STYLE COMBO.

STYLE IS ALWAYS A POTENT ATTRACTOR OF ATTENTION AND SO WHEN IT IS PRESENT IT ATTRACTS A LION’S SHARE OF THE ATTENTION AND BECAUSE STYLE IS MEANINGLESS AND UNNECESSARY, STYLE SIPHONS OFF A LARGE PART OF THE PERSON’S ATTENTION TO WHAT IS MEANINGLESS AND UNNECESSARY AND THEREFORE THE PERSON WHO PRACTICES STYLE, WHO APPRECIATES STYLE IN HIMSELF AND OTHERS HAVE STRICT LIMITS ON HOW WISE HE CAN BE. IN TRUTH HE IS VERY FOOLISH ENTHRALLED BY WHAT IS MEANINGLESS OR UNNECESSARY NAMELY STYLE.

Although people speak of style regularly eg “I really like this style”, “he’s got a great style”, if I were to ask people exactly what it is this style that they speak of, they are likely to be at loss how to define style. This indicates they do not know or know approximately what they are talking about or they are aping others, what they say or do is not because they know what they want to say but they are aping others. What is this style, like and dislike and emotions that you frequently speak of?

Style in speech is nothing more than his individually different way that has similarities with others of how he prolongs his syllables, change speed and loudness within and between syllables and words.

Style in motion is nothing more in how the individual prolongs his elementary units of motion either along the direction of the motion, around the axis of the motion (like a corkscrew) or in a curved path, how he changes speed and strength of force within and between units of his motion.

Style in posture is nothing more than how the person uses force to stretch or arch (bend) or twist his body parts like head, neck, torso and limbs so that instead of standing or sitting upright in a neutral fashion his body is held in contorted positions that are deemed stylish by that society. For example to express your haughtiness or superiority, you bend your neck backwards to elevate your chin that necessitates you look down on others. You in attention arch your chest forwards to puff up your chest.

Microsoft’s not so clever improvements:

There are changes made in the latest Microsoft Office suite that is ill thought of and for worse.

In the new Excel you cannot tell which cell you are currently at unless you look at the ribbon at the top because active cell is not highlighted whereas in the old Excel it is. I have made mistakes editing the wrong cells as a result of not being able to tell which cell I am on.

The emphasis now is for softer or pastel colors but it is counterproductive to make the current cell undistinguishable from other marked cells.

One improvement is that the list of files you last worked for immediate recall is much larger (17) compared with the older version (4).



Motion cannot be stretched?

Not only is there stretching in motion as there is stretching in the syllables of ordinary people, but stretching can occur in three ways as compared to one way in speech.

With syllables, you can only stretch the syllable in time.

Because motion occurs in three dimensions, you can stretch fundamental units of motions in three ways:

You can stretch a motion from A to B by accelerating in speed and force in the direction of the motion that will take your body part past the target if it was not stopped on reaching the target. For instance if your typing finger accelerated in speed and strength, it would have ended way past the typed key had it not been arrested by it.

If you took a curved route between A and B you would not only have stretched your motion but constantly changed direction in order to travel from A to B when a straight line would have sufficed.

If you describe whorled movements from A to B as the orchestral conductor does by twirling his baton, you would have stretched your motion from A to B in a rotary fashion around the axis of movement.

HENCE NOT ONLY CAN MOTION BE STRETCHED BUT IT CAN BE STRETCHED IN THREE WAYS WITH ADDITIONAL CONSTANT DIRECTIONAL CHANGE IN THE CASE OF MOTION.

A PERSON WHO LETS HIS YES BE YES MERELY MOVES HIS FINGER FROM A TO B IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT CONSTANT SPEED BUT A PERSON WHO DOES NOT LET HIS YES BE YES ONLY, WHO WANTS TO IMPRESS OTHERS WILL DESCRIBE CURVED OR ROTARY MOTIONS FROM A TO B OR ACCELERATE IN SPEED AND STRENGTH ALONG THE STRAIGHT LINE THAT WILL MAKE HIM OVERSHOOT THE TARGET.

OBSERVE THE POSTURES OF STYLISH PEOPLE AND YOU MAY NOTICE THAT THE BODY AND BODY PARTS ARE FORCEFULLY STRETCHED SO THAT THEY ARE CONTORTED OR TWISTED INTO COMPLEX SERIES OF CURVES AND ANGLES AND THAT IS STRETCHING OF (STATIONARY) POSTURES. FOR EXAMPLE TO EXPRESS FALSE FRIENDLINESS A PERSON MAY LEAN TOWARDS YOU IN CONVERSATION BUT HIS LEG IS CROSSED AND PULLED AWAY FROM YOU SUBCONSCIOUSLY COUNTER HIS FAKED FRIENDLINESS.

A DEFINITION OF STYLE:

STYLE IS A POSTURAL OR APPEARANCE, MOTION OR VOCALIZED AUDIO-VISUAL DISPLAY IN TERMS OF PROLONGING, CHANGING OF SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE ORGANIZED BY THAT STYLISH BEING’S MENTAL FORCE THAT IS MEANT CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY FOR SHOW TO IMPRESS, PLEASE, INTIMIDATE AND DOMINATE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REASON OR MEANING OR TRUTH.

STYLE IS ALL ABOUT SHOW, ABOUT BEING DISPLAYED TO BE SEEN OR HEARD TO STIR THE OBSERVER’S MENTAL FORCE TO LIKE OR DISLIKE, NOT ABOUT MEANING. SOME PEOPLE DELIBERATELY SPEAK OR DO THINGS IN A WAY TO ANNOY OTHERS OR THEY LIKE OTHERS TO DISLIKE THEM OR THEY WANT OTHERS TO SUFFER.

Style Is Just An Intercourse In Force:

Style is just an intercourse in force between the stylish person and his appreciator that has nothing to do with reason because reason will not subject one’s mind to force that wastes energy to create stress, restlessness and distraction that harms and conditions that mind further.

When a person fabricates style he is merely using his mental force to prolong or stretch, change speed and strength of force and when a person appreciates style he is merely allowing his mental force to be stirred by the force changes underlying the style he is appreciating. No reason is involved and no reason is needed to appreciate or experience style in others except the possession of a mental force that can track the prolonging, changing in speed and strength of force conveyed in the style being perceived.

Reflecting their muddled thinking, ordinary people often mistake style for substance and substance for style. They perceive style as meaningful when there is no meaning apart from stressful perturbations of their mental force.

THUS IF YOU APPRECIATE STYLE, YOU PRACTICE STYLE YOU APPRECIATE FORCE AND ARE A MAN OF FORCE NOT REASON AND THIS IS A WORLD OF FORCE AND PSEUDO REASON.

Learning to do one thing at a time:

Those who think they are capable of doing one thing at a time or they sometimes do things one thing at a time are deluding themselves because reflecting their mindless functioning as robots and greed (impatience), they are always doing more than one thing at a time with their attention distracted or only taking snapshots of what they are doing.

If it is possible to attentively do more than one thing at a time then the Buddha will talk whilst he is eating and eat whilst he is talking, drivers will not get into an accident whilst talking on their phones. If you are paying full attention to your walking you will not twist your ankle or step on a nail or a piece of shit.

IT IS BECAUSE IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOUR MIND TO PROCESS TWO STREAMS OF INFORMATION OR ACTIVITY AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ARE MERELY JUGGLING BOTH ACTIVITIES OR JUMPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEM THAT PEOPLE END UP TALKING NONSENSE INTO THEIR PHONES WHILST THEY ARE DRIVING OR THEY END IN A CRASH WHILST THEY TALK ON THEIR PHONES.

There is eternal life and that is plenty of time to do things one thing at a time and therefore the wise person will devote time and attention to learn to do one thing at a time, not watch TV whilst reading a book and eat whilst he is talking (and get choked).

When you do things one thing at a time your attention is devoted to what you are doing and you must mean it and it is live not a rehashed standardized doing it based on memory of how you did it before. Thus doing things one thing at a time is a crucial step in converting yourself from a somnolent robot to a true live being performing each task specific to the occasion.

Why Humans Have Little True Reason:

It can be concluded from the fact that all beings here, not just humans have very little true reason but what reason they possess are rote or copied from others rather than what they work out for themselves or can see and this is the reason why even those who are intelligent and profess to be religious or seekers of truth still continue to display a false style that is not only unnecessary but constantly churning up stress, restlessness and distraction.

Why can it be deduced that beings here have little if no true reason?

Because the style that they constantly display in their postures, motion and speech are machinations of force and it is a potent attractor of attention that attracts a lion share of their attention, all beings who display style have their attention disproportionately tied up with style, tied up with what is unnecessary, false, for show and harmful to self and others in creating stress, restlessness and distraction. Thus whoever displays style, whether he knows or not (if he is clueless he has style he is even more dumb) has serious limitations as to how wise or discerning he can be.

Types of style:

There are styles existing in a person that are primarily meant to impress, please, intimidate and dominate and there are styles that are meant both to please and impress, to intimidate and dominate too.

People have less difficulty identifying style that is meant to impress and please but they have more difficulty detecting style meant to intimidate and dominate. For instance if you speak in an angry way (by deliberately accelerating in speed and loudness in syllables you utter) then the angry way is a learnt style that differs from others’ learnt angry style that is intended primarily to intimidate. When you speak with a booming powerful voice (by deliberately adding force to every syllable you utter) then the confident booming style is intended to dominate others.

When people speak in an eager way often with a constant smile, then this eager smiling way with which they speak is meant to impress others with his fabricated sincerity or to please others.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT GOD OR THE BUDDHA CAN SPEAK OR DO THINGS IN AN ANGRY WAY BECAUSE A PERSON WHO SPEAKS OR DOES THINGS ANGRILY IS STRUGGLING TO CONTROL HIMSELF AND IN DANGER OF LOSS OF CONTROL, NOT A MASTER OF HIMSELF AND HIS DESTINY AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT GOD OR THE BUDDHA IS STRUGGLING TO CONTROL HIMSELF AND NOT MASTERS OF THEIR DESTINY. THUS THE ANGRY WAY YOU SPEAK IS NOT UNIVERSAL BUT YOUR STYLE THAT YOU HAVE HONED TO PERFECTION AND IT IS WRONG VIEW THAT LEADS TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB THAT YOUR ANGRY WAY OF SPEAKING IS NATURAL OR APPLIES TO EVERYONE & IS NOT YOUR STYLE OF SPEAKING.

THUS IF YOU THINK YOU ARE A MARVELOUS STYLE FREE NATURAL PERSON, JUST REMIND YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE SPEAKING ANGRILY, STUTTERING TO CONTROL YOUR SEETHING ANGER THAT THE ANGRY WAY WITH WHICH YOU SPEAK IS YOUR STYLE FOR THAT OCCASION.

Style is a ritualized intercourse in indirect disguised force:

If style is an intercourse in direct force as a slap on the face is, then few people will be unable to see the nature of style and it is because style is an ritualized or structured or socially organized or choreographed intercourse in indirect disguised force via the stretching, changing of speed and strength of force that can be transmitted to the recipient that the foolish are clueless and held spellbound, even after it has been demonstrated to them in many ways what style actually is.

WHENEVER THERE IS STYLE PRESENT IN A PERSON’S SPEECH OR MOTION IT DIVIDES THE OBSERVER’S ATTENTION NOT IN AN EQUAL FASHION BUT WITH A GREAT PREPONDERANCE TOWARDS THE STYLE COMPONENT PARTICULARLY IF THE OBSERVER HAS A STRONG MENTAL FORCE THAT IS VERY RECEPTIVE TO THE FORCE THAT IS BEHIND STYLE. ALTERNATIVE THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE IS SO DIVISIVE TO THE OBERVER’S ATTENTION THAT HE OFTEN CHOOSES TO FORCEFUL SWITCH OFF AND FAKE HE IS APPRECIATING WHAT IS SAID OR DONE TO HIM.

Whether there is style in a person’s posture, motions or speech is an objective diagnosis that can be defined ‘such and such is style’, not a subjective perception and it is as clear as daylight whether a person has style or not to those who are discerning and if you have trouble telling whether a person is an actor or not, and precisely how he acts, then you have impaired discernment, you do not see things clearly as they are.

The possession of a style with which all actors identify with is the crux of the self identity view that the Buddha said is one of three lower fetters that leads to future states of woe. If people do not believe in their styles, do not identify with their styles they would not adopt styles and because styles are false, they have no meaning but merely exercising one’s mental force, it leads to stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate that conditions that being to suffering whilst similarly persecuting others, style is never harmless or justified but is a major bond that keeps beings in the lower realms of suffering and death.

Why It Is Impossible For Ordinary People To Do One Thing At A Time:

Whatever activity they conduct, namely their postures, motion and speech have a simultaneous substance and style that are a amalgam of doing two things at a time and so it is impossible for people with style to do one thing at a time.

WHEN YOU ARE SPEAKING ANGRILY OR CHARMINGLY YOU ARE AT THE SAME TIME FABRICATING THE ANGRY OR CHARMING WAY WITH WHICH YOU SPEAK AND WHAT YOU ARE ANGRILY AND CHARMINGLY SPEAKING. BECAUSE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO SO, THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF IT IS PRERECORDED AND REPLAYED FOR THE OCCASION WHICH IS WHY ACTORS FEEL DAUNTED AND SELF CONSCIOUSN WHEN THEY SAY THINGS THEY HAVE NEVER SAID BEFORE LIKE TELLING A GIRL THEY LOVE HER OR THEY MUST SECRETLY PRACTICE AND PRACTICE THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF THEIR PROPOSAL TO MARRY BEFORE BLURTING IT OUT AWKWARDLY.

Watch yourself when you are studying for an exam. You may be reading the text but your leg is shaking restlessly, you are twirling a lock of hair or smoking or chewing or tapping your fingers restlessly and that is NOT doing one thing at a time. Or you may lapse into daydream to intermittently refocus on what you are reading.

THERE IS A LOT OF FORCE OR URGE OR HABIT ENERGY TO NEVER DO ONE THING AT A TIME THAT MUST BE OVERCOME NEVER INSTANTLY BUT BY PERSISTENT DEDICATED EFFACEMENT BEFORE ONE CAN ACHIEVE THE PEACE AND SANITY OF DOING ONE THING AT A TIME. YOU HAVE NEVER TASTED THE EXPERIENCE OF DOING ONE THING AT A TIME SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IT IS WORTHLESS, DOES NOT GIVE YOU A BLISSFUL EXISTENCE YOU NEVER REALIZED WAS POSSIBLE?

Why style and substance are separate entities:

Style and substance are separate entities not integral.

The very same words you said angrily can be said solemnly or mischievously or sarcastically or sadly.

The fact that the same words can be said in a variety of styles eg angrily, humorously or sadly, different people have different angry ways of saying the same words proves that style is fabricated separate from substance and they are amalgamated together not freshly specific for the occasion but prerecorded to be rehashed as a clever fake as if specific for the occasion.

Substance & Style Are Like Two Adjacent Pieces Of A Jigsaw Puzzle:

Substance and style are like two adjacent pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. They may appear as one piece to a casual viewer but look carefully and they are actually two pieces fitted together with a seam in between and under severe emotional strains the two pieces that are normally tenaciously bonded together may be forced apart as when actors choke with emotion and falter with the substance and style of what they want to say.

Normally actors make a photographic imprint of the substance and style of what they want to say or do and lodge it in the mental jukebox and they keep practicing saying or doing it until they gel and it becomes very slick to con the casual distracted looker as a seamless whole when it is a cleverly put together fake.

IT IS NOT A SURPRISE THAT PEOPLE WHO BY DEFAULT ALWAYS DO TWO THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY NAMELY SIMULTANEOUS SUBSTANCE AND STYLE ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ONE AT A TIME BECAUSE NOT TO DO SO IS STRONGLY FORGED IN THEIR MINDS.

Style Is At The Heart Of Self Identity Views:

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF IDENTITY VIEWS IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THREE LOWER FETTERS (TOGETHER WITH DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY, FAITH IN RITES AND PRECEPTS) THAT THE BUDDHA SAID LED TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE.

THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS OF SELF IDENTITY VIEWS: POSSESSIVENESS OR ACQUISITIVENESS (MY BODY, MY WIFE, MY LIFE) AND THE BELIEF AND UPHOLDING OF DIFFERENTNESS FROM OTHERS (MY DIFFERENT STYLE OF PERCEIVING, THINKING, SPEAKING, DOING THINGS) THAT IS FALSE OR FRIVOLOUS.

THERE ARE TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF IDENTITY VIEWS: THEY ARE VIEWS THAT ARE ALWAYS FALSE OR FRIVOLOUS OR IMPERMANENT AND THERE IS ATTACHMENT OR EMOTIONAL ATTRACTION NOT REASON FOR THOSE SELF IDENTITY VIEWS. SELF IDENTITY VIEWS ARE ALWAYS IRRATIONAL; YOU CANNOT TALK A PERSON OUT OF HIS SELF IDENTITY VIEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE HELD WITH FORCE NOT REASON.

IT IS HIS MENTAL FORCE OF GOING AGAINST SELF THAT IS THE DRIVE BEHIND HIS ATTACHMENT TO ALL THINGS INCLUDING HIS SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT IS THE SAME FORCE THAT IS THE DRIVE BEHIND THE CONSTANT PROLONGING AND CHANGING IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT CONSTITUTES HIS STYLE AND THIS FORCE MUST BE ELIMINATED IF HE IS TO DROP HIS SELF IDENTITY VIEWS. WITHOUT AN END TO HIS MENTAL FORCE THERE CAN BE NO END TO HIS ATTACHMENT TO ALL THINGS AND NO END TO HIS SELF IDENTITY VIEWS BUT THE END OF HIS MENTAL FORCE SPELLS THE PERMANENT END OF ALL ATTACHMENTS AND ALL SELF IDENTITY VIEWS.

STYLE IS AT THE HEART OF SELF IDENTITY VIEWS BECAUSE WHEREAS POSSESSIVENESS IS PART TIME, STYLE IS CONSTANT IN EVERYTHING THE BEING PERCEIVES, THINKS, SPEAKS, DOES AND POSES AND IT IS FALSE (BASED ON FORCE) AND STYLISH BEINGS BOTH CONSCIOUSLY AND UNCONSCIOUSLY IDENTIFY WITH THEIR STYLES THAT DIFFER FROM OTHERS THAT THEY BELIEVE IS TRUE AND REFLECT THEMSELVES AND ARE RELUCTANT OR REFUSE TO SHED.

Self identity views have two parts namely possessiveness and a desire, belief in and upholding of one’s differentness. Possessiveness comprises acquisitiveness as ‘mine’ as in my body, my mind, my concentration, my wife, my children, my house, car, computer, religion, race, country, etc. Differentness is the perception that one is different from others, even special that is not based on truth but delusion or false qualities. And at the heart of this perception and belief in his differentness is his style in pose, motion and speech that differs from others but is false because it is based on false, harmful unnecessary force and have similarities with the styles of others. Whilst there are objective differences between the styles of others, there are similarities and different people’s styles are not absolutely different but different permutations of the same qualities of style.

There are two important characteristics of self identity views and it is their falsity and the attachment of the being to them.

All the things (body, mind, possessions) and qualities (strong, tough, smart, mean, stylish, humorous) are not permanent and false. Which body shall you call the true represent of you, the body you had as a child, man or old man? Thus the body is not permanent and not yours and you will become separated from it.

The other characteristic of self identity views is the attachment or forceful attraction to the objects and characteristics (eg style) of self identity views. It needs a forceful mind whose mental force of going against self can be stirred in speed and strength by perceptions to form attachments and therefore have self identity views and because it is force or attraction that is the basis or drive of self identity views, self identity views are irrational and cannot be weaned off. Only when a person has rendered his mental force effete or weak will the drive behind self identity views be finally and effortlessly extinguished.

If you did not have strong self identity views (that you obviously identify with or are attached) you would not have adopted a style that is consistent in how you pose, move and speak that you are reluctant or refuse to give up even after I have pointed it out to you (but you even disagree and tick me off) even when this style is unnecessary, meaningless, wastes prodigious energy to create insoluble stress, restlessness and distraction. If you can see others are stylish and you even criticize them for their styles (eg you tell me someone is very rude; rudeness is a style or way of speaking), why can’t you see that you too have equally valid styles that rather than a balm to yourself and others, is just as much an instrument of persecution of others?

Whilst there is also style in the substance of what is said or done (the ‘well’ is the style in the substance of the spoken “well, what do you want?” that is unnecessary, meaningless, adds nothing to the question “what do you want”), style is the way a person poses, moves and speaks that can be objectively defined that differs from others and is characteristic in him that he is obviously attached to otherwise he would not be having that style consistently.

WHATEVER THAT MAY BE SAID, DONE OR POSED, WHAT DIFFERENTIATES (FALSELY) ONE PERSON FROM ANOTHER IS HIS DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING IT OR HIS STYLE OF DOING IT THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN HOW HE USES HIS MENTAL FORCE TO PROLONG, CHANGE SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE IN A DIFFERENT WAY FROM OTHERS. THUS HIS DIFFERENCE FROM OTHERS IS BASED ON HIS STYLE THAT IS FALSE AND BASED ON HOW HE USES HIS MENTAL FORCE AND BECAUSE HIS CONSISTENT STYLE PERVADES ALL HIS ACTIVITIES NAMELY HOW HE PERCEIVES, THINKS, SPEAKS, POSES AND DOES THINGS, IT (STYLE) IS AT THE HEART OF HIS FALSE SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT WILL CONSIGN HIM ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE.

HOW CAN A PERSON BE ONE WITH HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN IF HE IS CAPTIVE TO FALSE SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT FALSELY SETS HIMSELF APART FROM OTHERS, FALSELY DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF FROM OTHERS THAT HE BELIEVES IS TRUE? UNTIL YOU HAVE SHED ALL FALSE STYLE SO THAT YOU HAVE NO STYLE CAN YOU BE ONE WITH ALL THOSE WHO SIMILARLY HAVE NO PRETENTIOUS STYLE IN HEAVENLY BLISS. SO LONG AS THERE IS STYLE THERE CAN BE NO PEACE EITHER WITH YOURSELF OR OTHERS.

NO ONE IS CONSTANTLY CONTEMPLATING ABOUT HIS POSSESSIONS AND BODY UNLESS HE IS MAD OR OBSESSED BUT STYLE IS CONSTANTLY CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY ACTIVE IN WHATEVER HE PERCEIVES, THINKS, DOES, SAYS AND POSES AND THEREFORE STYLE WHICH IS ALWAYS FALSE, MEANINGLESS AND A STRESSFUL EXERCISE OF ONE’S MENTAL FORCE IS AT THE HEART OF ALL SELF IDENTITY VIEWS.

THE BUDDHA SAID HE IS THE HIGHEST TEACHER AND NO BEING IS LIKE HIM IN THE COSMOS. THAT IS NOT SELF IDENTITY VIEW IF THERE IS NO FORCE OR ATTACHMENT BY HIM TO WHAT HE SAID AND IT IS THE TRUTH THAT INDEED OBJECTIVELY HE IS THE HIGHEST TEACHER AND THERE IS NO ONE (ENLIGHTENED OR AWAKENED) LIKE HIM.

IF THE BODY THAT YOU IDENTIFY WITH AND ARE ATTACHED TO (AS MANY FEMALES ARE) IS A BURDEN TO CARRY AND RESTRICTS YOU AND THE HIGHEST AND ENDURING LEVELS OF BLISSFUL EXISTENCES ARE FORMLESS AS THE BUDDHA SAID, THEN YOUR IDENTIFICATION WITH YOUR BODY IS VERY COSTLY, IT MEANS YOU WILL TRAP YOU IN THE LOWER EXISTENCES.

When is someone putting on a show?

Anyone who has style, who has stretching of syllables, changes in speed and loudness in his speech is putting on a show, no matter how he denies or cannot see it. Even if you deny you are putting on a show or cannot see it, you must experience conflict, self doubt and must hate yourself and others because you are going against yourself in the name of impressing, pleasing, intimidating or dominating others.

How something is said or done if it differs from others is always for show, intended only to be seen or heard. Only when there is no manner in which something is said or done, it is just said or done without any hanky-panky or stretching of syllables, changes in speed or loudness is the person not putting on a show.

Anyone who has a style that can only be forceful prolonging, changing speed and loudness is not only putting on a show but exerting changing force on his own mind and the mind of his recipient and therefore hurting himself and others with accountability due. Furthermore he is a hypocrite because he cannot mean his style that is only for show to be seen or heard and hypocrisy is not the way to heaven but the opposite.

What meaning is there in the smile that accompanies what you say except that it is for show to impress falsely you are friendly when you are actually exerting pressure on the other person to accede? If your smile is meaningless, for show to manipulate and hurts yourself and others and you perceive it as meaningful you have false perception that will end in mad perception.

ANYTHING THAT HAS NO MEANING BUT IS NEVERTHELESS FABRICATED AT GREAT COST IN CUMULATIVE ENERGY CONSUMPTION, STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION MUST BE INTENDED JUST TO BE SEEN AND HEARD OR FOR SHOW AND THEREFORE THE PERSON IS PUTTING ON A SHOW.

STYLE OR THE PROLONGING OF THE USE OF FORCE, CHANGING IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE WHEN SAYING OR DOING SOMETHING CANNOT HAVE ANY MEANING APART FROM EMOTIONAL GRATIFICATION OR TO IMPRESS OTHERS.

THEREFORE, IF THERE IS A STYLE (OR STRETCHING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS) IN HOW YOU SAY OR DO THINGS, THAT STYLE MUST BE ONLY FOR SHOW (BECAUSE IT HAS NO MEANING) AND YOU ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW NO MATTER HOW DISCREET IT IS AND THE STYLE IN HOW YOU SAY OR DO THINGS IS NO MYSTERY OR SUBJECTIVE BUT IF THERE IS PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE, YOU HAVE STYLE.

BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS STYLE, ALWAYS STRETCHING, CHANGING OF SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE DETECTABLE IN THE POSTURES, MOTION AND SPEECH OF ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE WHAT THEY SAY ARE CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY FOR SHOW.

HOW A PERSON SAYS OR DOES SOMETHING IS ALWAYS FOR SHOW BECAUSE THERE CANNOT BE ANY MEANING (APART FROM EMOTIONAL OR FORCE MEANING) IN HOW YOU SAY OR DO THINGS, WHAT MATTERS OR HAS MEANING IS WHAT YOU SAY OR DO. THOUGH THEY MAY DENY, HOW THEY DO OR SAY THINGS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP STYLE SUCH THAT THEY SAY OR DO THINGS ‘FOR THE HECK OF IT’ OR FOR THE STYLE OF SAYING OR DOING IT, TOTALLY DISREGARDING MEANING OR WHAT THEY SAY OR DO. FOR EXAMPLE THERE IS NO MEANING IN ‘YABADABADO!’ BUT THEY SAY IT WITH STYLE FOR THE HECK OF IT.

PEOPLE USUALLY DENY THAT THEY ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW BECAUSE IT CAN BE SHAMEFUL TO BE PUTTING ON A SHOW AND THEY ALSO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO PUTTING ON A SHOW SUCH THAT THEY ARE OFTEN UNAWARE THEY ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE UNAWARE YOU ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW DOES NOT MEAN YOU AREN’T AND YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE BOUTS OF SELF DOUBT AND ANGER FOR SUBJECTING YOURSELF TO SUFFERING IN THE NAME OF IMPRESSING OTHERS. IN THE BEGINNING WHEN THEY ARE HESITANTLY LEARNING THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF WHAT THEY ARE SAYING OR DOING JUST FOR SHOW THEY MAY BE AWARE THEY ARE PUTTING A SHOW BUT NOW THEY ARE LARGELY INURED AND TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THEIR DECEITFULNESS. PUTTING ON A SHOW IS DECEITFUL NEVER GENUINE.

PEOPLE ALWAYS IDENTIFY WITH THEIR STYLES:

Even though people with muddled thinking are unsure whether what they say or do or pose contain style or not, they nevertheless consciously or unconsciously identify with and are attached or like the ways they always pose, do and say things and because the ways they always pose, do or say things have nothing to do with truth or necessity or meaning but everything to do with using force to prolong, change speed and strength of force, they are identified with the ways they pose, do and say things that is false and if this is not self identity views of critical importance, what is it?

THEREFORE PEOPLE NOT ONLY HAVE STYLES IN HOW THEY USUALLY POSE, SAY OR DO THINGS BUT THEY IDENTIFY WITH THEIR WAYS OF POSING, DOING OR SAYING THINGS AND THIS IS SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT LEAD TO WOE NOT HEAVEN ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.

(ATHOUGH PEOPLE DO DISLIKE SOME PARTS OF THEMSELVES, SOME OF THEIR HABITS AND WAYS OF DOING THINGS, BY AND LARGE THEY LIKE THE WAYS THEY USUALLY DO OR SAY THINGS OTHERWISE THEY WON’T SAY OR DO IT THE WAYS THEY ALWAYS DO)

PEOPLE MUST LIKE THEIR STYLES:

THE TRUTH IS THAT EMOTIONAL PEOPLE ALWAYS LIKE OR DISLIKE WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THEM.

THEREFORE IF THERE IS STYLE IN THEIR POSES, DOING OR SAYING THINGS EVEN THOUGH THEY DENY OR CANNOT SEE IT, THEY MUST LIKE RATHER THAN DISLIKE IT OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN’T KEEP HAVING THAT STYLE THAT MAY BE UNCHANGED LIFELONG.

IF YOU LIKE YOUR STYLE EVEN IF YOU CANNOT SEE THERE IS STYLE IN HOW YOU SAY OR DO THINGS THEN YOU ARE FORCEFULLY ATTRACTED TO THE WAYS YOU SAY OR DO THINGS OR YOU ARE ATTACHED TO OR IDENTIFY WITH YOUR STYLE THAT PERVADES ALL YOUR ACTIVITIES NAMELY HOW YOU PERCEIVE, THINK, SAY OR DO THINGS. THEREFORE STYLE IS AT THE HEART OF SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT LEAD TO PERDITION

Anecdotal evidence people like their styles:

Try poke fun or criticize the style or way people talk and do things and they are likely to get angry and even attack you. It is not just these but all ordinary people not only possess style that differ from others but they secretly or openly unabashedly are ‘in love’ with their style or wit or charm or intelligence. Because style is false or meaningless or unnecessary and nothing to do with reason, only the products of the use of force to prolong, change speed and strength of force, they are identified with something that is false, unnecessary and harmful and that is self identity views that lead to perdition.

WHAT CAN BE MORE FUNDAMENTAL SELF IDENTITY THAN TO IDENTIFY WITH YOUR STYLE THAT DIFFERS FROM OTHERS AND PERVADE THE ENTIRETY OF HOW THE PERSON PERCEIVES (SEES, HEARS, SMELLS, TASTES AND TOUCHES), THINKS, SPEAKS AND DOES THINGS? THEREFORE STYLE THAT IS FALSE AND HARMFUL IS AT THE HEART OF ALL SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT LEAD TO PERDITION.

People are proud of their personalities:

How many people profess they are ashamed of their personalities?

Most if not all people are openly or secretly proud of their personalities.

And what is this personality that they are proud of or are attracted to or like?

If everyone’s personality is the same, what is there to be proud of that is the same as everyone elses’?

Personality is little if nothing more than how (not what) that individual perceives, thinks, speaks and does things that differ in a false or contrived way from others that is de facto his style of perceiving, thinking, speaking and doing things.

Therefore people are proud of their styles, they are attached to their styles that is at the heart of their self identity views that lead to woe.



Change for the sake of change:

Whenever you change something, you should make sure it is meaningful or there is improvement. It seems the people at Microsoft are guilty of changing for the sake of change and change for the worse.

It immediately became obvious to me that a change in Excel is change for the worse.

When you mark a row of cells to work with in the old Excel, the non current cells are shaded and you know at a glance which cell you are currently in but in the new Excel all the marked cells are the same and I have made mistakes editing cells I did not intend to edit because I cannot tell which cell I am working on.
