Most would rather hear sweet, kind, loving lies than to be told mean, hard, cruel or rude truth.

But sadly, it's true. Maya Angelou wrote, "People never remember exactly what you said, just how you made them feel".

Except, that takes the responsibility of choice out of the equation. People DO have the choice to set their feelings aside and just listen to the logic.

But our kids are not taught critical listening skills anymore. It's all about how the piped entertainment/music/ego-flattering attempts make them feel - as if they were bloody potato plants with no minds of their own.

I think I can sum up this thread into one phrase.

People don't want truth; they want acceptance.

Suck my dog's n uts, Brief.

See that bridge...? Wanna buy it?

Seriously, are you just pretending to be dumb or are you really that stupid?

There's a reason why advertising and propaganda artists make more money than you can ever dream of. Clearly, you're a prime target for them.

you know, I'd rather spend an ETERNITY "giggling, flirting, and cuddling"...than a minute more than necessary doing anything ELSE.

savvy?

Why do you think secret societies exist? Because they are all evil, devil worshipping, child murdering, blood drinking maniacs?

They have existed since the beginning of time because real truth cannot be shared with the beasts of the world. If they do, the speakers of truth would not stay alive very long.

People like Da Vinci, Newton, Galileo, Franklin and many, many others could not speak real truth among the beast of the world.

Secret religions like the Bogomils, Cathars and Sufis and hundreds more understood this truth also.

And still cannot be done even today with technology to hide behind.

Society is the enemy of real knowledge.

oh blow it out your ass. as always.

secret societies are and always have been the true drag on humanity, not their salvation.

'beasts of the world' don't get TOLD to be frightened, they know from instinct what will kill them and what will harm them.

unless it's man...man can poison everything and no one will be the 'wiser'.

and I would rather be kicked with the truth than carressed with a lie...but here's the thing.

TRUE LOVE IS NOT A LIE. IT IS THE HIGHEST TRUTH THERE IS.

You can have it! I am SO sick of giggling fools.

I agree with you, OP.

I hv gotten this at work....that im a hardass.

Like that expression you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. It.is.the.internet.....

Oh, well.

The freaking PC training crap you hv to do at work now is absurd.

"Is my co-worker valued if they believe in polygamy?"

Wtf?

Its illegal.

Screw this 3rd world shitkicker shit ruining our countries!!!

I disagree with you on pretty much all of this.

There are more followers than natural born leaders, but these secret societies arent about leadership, they are about control from what i can see.

Sexist, too.

Damn the masons and all that shit. G-d foresaw it and its even discussed in the torah.

Humans are not "it". You reveal yourself.

and no, the worst thing you can do for a suffering being is "leave it alone".

People will understand real truth when more volcanoes explode and the floods become beyond biblical and pieces of the sky fall and nightmarish diseases spread and total war grows and grows.

Truth is....the human race messed up bad.

Go hug a wild animal and see how much they appreciate it.

No wonder the world is so fucked up.

what is "kind nice sweet and loving" about being told you are damned forever except a guy was tortured to death to make sure you won't by the guy that wants you damned forever who is really his dad but he came down to save the people he wanted to damn forever.

what is nice about that? why not just NOT DAMN THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, PERIOD?

We have a nation filled with apathetic narcissists with empty souls unable to love God, themselves , much less anyone else.

I'm aware of that. I refuse to stop feeling because they steal it, though. I am done with not being myself. I am an emotional person, and am done denying it. I will learn to do with what and who I am today.

and all my other chakras are perfectly okay and hunky dory with channeling everything to heart energy.

In other words, you mean that you are a drama queen.

If you really want to understand how most people's minds work, just watch their eyes. They are NOT actually listening to what you are saying! They are paying attention to your emotion, your intensity, your body language. In other words, they are keyed into your emotional message!

Rarely are they concerned with the knowledge or information you are trying to send them. They have learned to act like they are listening, but in truth, they could care less what you have to say and care everything about how you say it!

Truth! So, to trying and talk to most people is a complete waste of time. Yours and theres...

I agree OP. In my attempts to lead people to enlightenment, I have only been met with temper tantrums.

And that is there mildest emotional response. They are a very dangerous beast to mess with.

You actually believe that people come here for the information and news? Please!

People come here for one reason, THE DRAMA! Most people could care less how things really work, who we are as human beings or who is in control of the world.

They just want to feel the intense EMOTION here. They suck it up like a fucking drug. They are nothing but drama addicts.

It's a mass marketing society. We buy our emotions, thoughts, etc.

I do hate those fucking abused animal commercials, they get me every time. I can't change the channel quick enough.

Whatever excuse you need to remain a bigoted xenophobic judgemental self righteous mean spirited asshole

Here. Here's some mean, hard, cruel, and rude truth.

You don't exist. Not in the way you believe you do, and not really at all. This world is a figment of your imagination, and everyone you've ever loved or hated is simply a fantasy and nothing more.

Believe me, pain is VERY fucking real pal. VERY fucking real...

No, it's not. You just believe it is. It's tied to the belief you have that you're your body. Without that belief, pain is no more real than unicorns are real. It all happens in your head. And you believe it. Heh.
