Expression - and common misconceptions
Ummon:
Well, rounding things out of course there's the estate stuff. Always nice to have relatives with assets and to be in their confidence. I now have a new bed frame (and I may keep her matresses - good, firm foam), some assorted knick-knacks an stuff, and....a new car! Well, new to me, anyways. But in good shape an all. Waiting for a call on monetary stuff. Of course, I didn't wish her to leave prematurely, and I don't think she did. So, all in all, gotta love it.
Ummon:
Something related on this topic: it's interesting how people jump to various conclusions when presented with various things. For example, if you talk about the look of something, and your audience has something in common with that thing, or has something like that thing, said audience will assume what they are or have is being compared to. That it's perhaps even being considered inferior.
And maybe most people are doing just that. So when I mention such things, that's what the audience generally thinks. Whereas I'm just presenting the data I perceive. But obviously they're inherently insecure about themselves and their stuff.
Ummon:
Addition after 'inferior': Or sometimes they're just being resistant to the possibility their perception and appreciation of form/structure/function of things could be augmented. It's not about how the world is, but how the world is TO THEM. Ahhh.
RayB:
You're completely overlooking the fact that as much as you may not realize it, your reporting of so-called straight facts are inevitably going to be biased by your own perspective.
Also, your last two posts sound like long-winded indirect way of describing this scenario:
Ummon: "I mentioned to a woman how chubby and round her ass was and she got offended. I don't know why; I was just stating facts!"
Am I close?
Ummon:
No. No. No. And no. But that's all you're going to get, cos as I've been requested to cease discussing these matters, I'm requesting such threads locked or PH'd
