Destiny.
 As sure as a tree grows from a seed, as did the tree before it and so on, all that has been and will be was set forth when time began.  

Since existence, all has been subject to physical law.  Regardless of the complexity of interactions, what has been and will be has no deviation.  Thus the future is fixed.

Behavior is involuntary

  • Initial circumstance is involuntary.

  • Initial data is involuntary.

  • The ability to remember is involuntary.

  • The ability to evaluate is involuntary.
     

  • Behavior is the result of decision.

  • Decision is the result of circumstance, data, and our ability to evaluate them.

  • Data is the result of ones ability to evaluate and remember circumstance, prior data, and prior circumstance.

  • Subsequent circumstance is the result of behavior with circumstance.
    Therefore, behavior is involuntary.

There is no fault in any behavior.
One cannot purposefully decide anything other than what seems the best of options.
We vary only in initial data, initial circumstance, and our abilities to remember and evaluate, all of which are involuntary.  One will always choose what seems best.  For them, under their circumstance and with their data at hand. 

When people do bad things or make bad decisions, it is that they have bad data and/or bad circumstance.   For them, they are just following their destiny and making decisions based on what they know and will always choose the seemingly better of any two options, for they are incapable to do otherwise.

Therefore, I am not capable of guilt or credit, of blame or praise, or regret or merit.  I simply follow my destiny.  I do what I can with my data and circumstance, neither of which I control.  As is with everybody and all things.  If all in this word began good, all in this world MUST be  GOOD.

Arrogance.
Do not take me as arrogant.  My achievements were no harder for me than yours were for you.  I do not brag, I point out because the positive aspects of me do have merit, there is no shame in truth.  If to be great is to be one that as achieved greatly or to have accomplished much, then I am great.  BFDeal. 

Greatness.
I feel no pride nor shame.  It was my circumstance and my destiny to do so, not something that merits reward, I did only as any can do, only as each of us must do and can only do.  It would be ignorant to deny the greatness by this definition.

Thus, when I point out great features and say I'm the best, I am reporting what is, not seeking applause.  I report it because it is the type of information about me that people want to know.  To be humble is one thing and there is a place and time for it, but to be humble when someone wants to know all about you is to be untrue, Humility is used to achieve the greater good, which is avoiding alienating those likely to feel offended, put off, insecure, or some other undesirable feeling. 

Disclaimer.
Outside if this profile, one will never hear me wave my own banner.  To do so would be without reason, I am incapable of behavior without reason, and the seeming benefit of praise is not a draw, for I get nothing from the praise of others.  All that counts is what I think, what I know to be true, I do not trust the opinion of others over my own unless I can see the reason which historically I have found unreliable, and in my opinion, praise is little more than other noting the result of greatness, achieved through no special effort on my part.

There comes a time when I say "me first".  Because I am responsible for me and nobody will take care of me better, nor should they.  I have achievement and I will announce it when prudent. While humility has it's virtues, I feel no shame for having achieved, no shame for those who have not achieved..  I seek no praise, I have no ego but I do want that what is, to be duly noted when pertinent.  Only my own yardstick can measure my success and failure, only I am worthy or capable of providing honor or shame to myself, if at all, and there is no shame in truth, perhaps no honor either.  If my spirit adds to my abilities and historical growth, then it is my spirit that is to be honored and I believe my spirit comes from God.

Empathy for Others.
I am unaffected by what others think of me, except to the extent that it affects my path in life, opening doors or hurting my advance, and even then I only care to the extent of taking that which I want.  I feel no shame or honor.  When one speaks poorly of me, I do not feel offended,  I cannot feel offended.  I am incapable of feeling fault or blame in a personal way.  I think about what data could be missing or in my ability to recall and process it such that I might arrive at a different conclusion, or to understand the same in others, and to thus understand our differences.  This is my empathy.  And this is why I feel for all people, regardless of circumstance or behavior.

I have won great awards, yet never felt compelled to show up at the ceremonies where they would be presented.   Only I can give praise to me.  I find I never will.  I neither ever feel guilt, shame, failure, or self pity.  But remember the part about how it affects my path.  I do of course want that all the babes are impressed and want me.  Not so I feel good, but so that my paths are smooth should I walk that path, so that the doors are open should I want to step in, so that what I feel is pleasant.  It is my destiny.  Hey, can you blame me?  I'm just taking care of #1 so that I'll be able to then support my brethren.

If I cheat or lie or steal or deceive, know that it was only the best decision for me at the time.  Just like the outcome of being found out, the slap, the dump my ass, and the punch in the nose, or whatever undesirable action levied against me, it is what the person delivering or taking action feels is the best thing to do based on what they know and feel,  I don't take it personally because I'll know they just have different data and know not what they do.  Or I have bad data and know know what I do.

Love is effortless.  It is our nature.  Hating is not understanding.

Hate is a product of poor data and/or circumstance, not a characteristic of he who hates.

To Avenge is to not understand.

I understand, and therefore love all people and am incapable of hate.
Forgive, for they know not what they do.

I cannot judge, for one cannot purport to know that which another knows, or to be privy to their circumstance.  To think otherwise would be to deny what I know and to deny reason.
 

Unless their brain is screwed up.  In that case they need to get knocked upside the head until they snap out of it.  I've got a bigger stick.  As long as they keep it up I’m going to keep knocking them upside the head.  Or until they don't have a head left to "not get it" with.  It’s not personal, it’s just what my data and circumstance tells me to do.

I was kidding.  Back to loving all people and not assigning blame or judgment.

I do love all people.  But sometimes they annoy me.
