-- from AZ QUOTES


And yes, reading actually does give us a place to go
when we have to be where we are.

edit : and yes ( typo )

"Never have a discussion with someone, who s opinions you don t share"

Some US president once said. Maybe one of those first 3, who also toked Cannabis.
I have to look it up, which i am way to lazy to do.

But their famous quotes helped through, dark times.
 
:whistle: On sense and sensibility ....
And sometimes feelings have to just be kept to themselves.
because there is no language to describe them in.

Like Al Huang s metaphoric explanation of Igikai ?
Non-sense, Physic s, organic pattern s of energy,
my way, i hang to my idea s, and enlightenment.
 
^ Also, with the general outlooks on life. Life does go on.
 
And life can be so ironic.

It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence

and absence to value presence.


I appreciate you all very much. Thank you once more.
 
The phrase "Don't do war, do conversation" is a powerful call for peaceful conflict resolution and understanding. It suggests that rather than resorting to violence, people should engage in dialogue, negotiation, and empathy to address disagreements and build stronger relationships. This approach highlights the importance of open communication, understanding different perspectives, and finding common ground.
Here's a breakdown of the key ideas:

IF THIS WOULD HELP WITH FOCUSING ON TOPIC AND BY ALL MEANS COULD BE GREAT ADVICE FOR A POLITICAL FORUM WHERE CONFLICT CAN ESCALATE AND GROW WITH SEVERITY AND INTENSITY.


( from " The Art of War " )
Avoidance of War:
The phrase explicitly rejects war and violence as a means of resolving conflict.

Importance of Conversation:
It emphasizes the value of communication, dialogue, and negotiation as alternative approaches to conflict resolution.

Building Understanding:
Conversation allows for the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and emotions, which can lead to greater understanding and empathy between individuals and groups.

Finding Common Ground:
Through open dialogue, people can identify shared values, goals, and interests, which can serve as a basis for cooperation and collaboration.

In essence, the phrase advocates for a shift away from the destructive cycle of violence and towards a more peaceful and constructive approach to conflict resolution. It suggests that by engaging in meaningful conversation and building empathy, people can find ways to bridge differences and work towards a more harmonious world.


Edited: for just a Typo.

So make it into more of a Debate.

Maybe. Instead of a bait thread.

But C'mon it's just Politics.

Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this one!

~~~~~~~



A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics '

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.


Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.'

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.'

The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'

So just throwing a little humor into politics a bit with an oldie but goodie.

Remember this one ! Why so Serious !
~~~~~

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look

so wise, a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the

proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ....... a Congress!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !

Are Rook s, Western Jackdaw s ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_jackdaw
They found out these groups have a solid internal social structure.

Won t amaze me if the indeed have their bird version of a congress.
 
Learn How To Calm Yourself Down. To calm yourself down you know can be one of the most complicated and difficult things because it happens.

And is the way that you see the world, because that is what you are dealing with, and everything becomes very narrow for all of us.

We get frustrated and activated all of a sudden we're not looking at other options and all we can see is catastrophe, doubt, fear or whatever.

Find Ways To Manage Emotions. As best we can. And you have to do that breathing. It is critical. And so many believe that breathing doesn't work.

Breathing totally works because we all do it. It is one of the easiest ways to regain control. Take some deep breaths and then relax. Listen to some

good music to stay calm with, go color with crayons or chalk, or paint. Take a short break and go for a little walk or watch a movie or show to keep from

blowing up and exploding with negative uncontrolled emotions.

This is much better in how you must respond instead of destruction, and the other destruction of self destruction.

Otherwise you're not going to get your needs met and see they're not paying attention to you and everyone will see there's nothing you can do.


Just keep cool.



OMG. You feel this build inside you and that so many of us talk about this that just will build inside you.

You feel this intensity like it is instantaneous but it is not. It may be quick, it may be fast but it's not instantaneous.

Because it doesn't have to be !! You have to remember that about .... what else can you do that you can set healthy ways to

manage emotions or what else you can do to stay calm and appropriate with the flow of everything.



Or for instance give each other a little space and time to be alone and then return to be more appropriate and tolerant to build a calmer,

healthier, and less difficult resolution and to make total sense of who we are in a much calmer and functioning way that is ....

and can be completely optional.



Maybe take up a little side hobby for short periods to step away from something that will never be productive again in that moment.

This doesn't have to mean losing who you are. Things do not have to escalate completely or quickly. But all because you can build balance,

your balance to be stronger, healthier and do the best that's absolutely possible.

Otherwise no one will get their needs met and the focus and attention will just be gone.



Then just possibly somehow again everyone will be able to leave a comment. A lot of people read the comments that they can benefit from.

So leave a comment and share your thoughts and experience. Learn and manage adaptively and just

not the maladaptive (manipulative) aspect of how we can then try to learn and be helpful and try to make it better to be productive in this circumstance.

And hope it can all be better for the next time we see each other with our posts and great comments too. And until next time bye-bye.

Thank you so much for all of your great Politic comments and political posts with ideas of how we can all learn and share all the knowledge from each other.

It was all appreciated so very much and very much enjoyable company as well as always. Thank you for all of your interactions and all the good times

that we were all able to share to help fill such voids. It was great to have this option and was always and will always be quite remarkable and memorable as well.
 
No race, no religion, no class system,
no color - nothing - no sexual orientation
that makes us better than anyone else.
We're all deserving of love.


- another great quote

Thank You.

Maybe we can get a new version of the Dive too 👍 along with the Archive. :)<3
