There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

Finally, when all was said and done, the certainty (so often experienced, yet always new) that female charms, the kind that inflame the senses, are no more than kitchen smells: they tease you when you're hungry and disgust you when you've had your fill.

Sr @Venus55 this goes a bit off topic. Just a bit!

They never had time to realise. But they never made
time for it either. Plus they gave no space, it was always occupied. Theres always space and theres always time IF YOU GIVE IT. Its never late for knowledge. If it involves going up the mountains, go there. Its all inside of us anyway.

You know @ttystikk you make a very good point but it doesnt hit the very bottom as is. Its more of an acceptance thing initially AND terminally, like an acceptance of the ignorance... which has been accepted in the first place. Hope i make sense.

First step to the solution of ANY problem is being sober and able to SEE it as a problem, second step is to RECOGNISE its content and edges. There isnt a manual for it, only this rough guide. Simply because each of us have been through our customised individual struggles.

We JUST have to believe in ourselves... away from tangibles. Its YOU and this planet! Which has other YOUs!! Even your parents or WHOEVER. Get it? Sounds cheesy but its beyond real... its the only truth we forcefully buried inside of us when kids cause we were told to. When i say us, i mean us like humans. Leave your sex out of this, i mean... have you ever f**ked in your life or made love??? Do you HAVE TO keep reassuring yourself you are THIS or THAT? Whos being insecure, really now.

Believe in your process while believing in a better world. Wish them well by wishing YOURSELF well through EVERY THINKABLE occasion. Thats all there is. Acceptance of each of OURSELVES. What stays eventually is all we ever wanted INTANGIBLY. Just be and let be ffs. You re not discovering Atlantis.
Its a very tough process, the toughest of all and its INDIVIDUAL. Whos man enough or woman, whos a fkin human enough?! I know im a human first and then a man. Im a MAN. BUT IM A HUMAN FIRST.

Literally, you grown enough MJ already nah?? You already know much more of the process than you think you do. To those who need this... Courage friends, courage. :peace:
Believing in oneself is different than ignoring the facts and equating what we want to be true with what is.

There is no deception on the part of the woman, where a man bewilders himself: if he deludes his own wits, I can certainly acquit the woman. Whatever man allows his mind to dwell upon the imprint his imagination has foolishly taken of a woman, is fanning the flames within himself -- and, since the woman knows nothing about it, she is not to blame. For if a man incites himself to drown, and will not restrain himself, it is not the water's fault.

You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for your own pleasure.
