Susie come!" How close to the edge she is, measured by how irritating she is I suspect.

At the base of this beautiful mountain, on an otherwise peaceful 'holiday' morning in a half populated small Campground, my neighbor, Susie come! Susie come! Susie come! Over and over and over and over.

Periodically I've been wondering how to deal with this.

Among other things it brought to mind how infinitely more irritating I was when in early 20s I had a wonderful dog, but was a thousand times more noisy than this lady.

So glad I am for the thought that just occurred to me. How irritating she is probably speaks very accurately about how close to the edge she probably is. It certainly did with me.

Dear friends, notice: I see this very very infrequently among my small circle, but those few that Express themselves, that experience themselves, as quote against the other side, unquote it's time for this to stop or for us to unfriend each other. I have hope in, and I only have time to affiliate with, those who are for every creature unconditionally, and against every Injustice unconditionally. No exceptions.  Never against another creature, including another human being. Never. Never. Never against another group, not for any breath, ever. Against Injustice? With all our might. Against bigotry? With all our might. Against oppression, violence? With every fiber of our being. Never ever us against them. Don't do it, or we need to stop wasting each other's time. Militants,  passionately, VA, forcefully, relentlessly , unequivocally for the dignity, sanity, rights, good, fundamental needs of every creature, especially every human being, or we need to stop wasting each other's time. No exceptions. No exceptions for even a moment. It's too little too late for that. Whenever you see me doing it please call me out.

5, 10, 15 times a day, sometimes, I find myself revolted at someone I see. And then I choose to catch myself and to remind myself what life has taught me, if I had their upbringing and internal circuitry I'd be doing the same thing. I might be wrong, but that's how I see it. I chose to have them kill the cancer in me, but it didn't occur to me to hate the cancer. In fact, I'm quite certain I must have caused the cancer through really faulty eating habits. I'm just sharing.

A group of scientists has become infinitely more knowledgeable as to new species of life, newly found species of life, in the depths of the ocean, having plunged to never before reached, very dangerous depths that no one had yet explored. And so it is with me. Only when I leap to terrifying new spiritual and academic depths that I have never before had the courage or wisdom to dive into does my clarity, knowledge, understanding... increase. And how desperately I need these things to increase as I have been a total failure and precipitating meaningful social change thus far.

"People always use that saying "Walk a mile in somebody else's shoes before you judge them" like after they walk the mile, then they can judge, then they have the right. When in reality, the whole point is after you walk that mile, in anybody's shoes, there is no longer any judgement left, you can't judge, the entire impetus for judgement no longer remains. Judgement is gone, there is only understanding." Ryan Fitzmaurice
