Almost every identity is socially constructed- it is a fiction given meaning by the collective belief of the group. And when you start to break down those constructions in yourself, you begin to see things as they ultimately are- beyond our conventions. That's where the truth is!Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700483342619583684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150812469307543848.post-17484104522658883762008-11-19T19:13:00.000-06:002008-11-19T19:13:00.000-06:00Well put, well executed here.

What I mean to say is, you have sought out the 'they' 'them' factor, isolated it, & shown many in including this reader, that we ALL have been 'them', or 'they'<BR/>& that it's much more descent, & intelligent, if not just plain understanding~to respect the other's standpoint, from their own shoe size..<BR/>If we all decided to just be a small candle & light a dark corner of the world, think how much brighter the world could be. Darkness is not the opposite of light & positive energy. It is merely the 'absence' of light.:) True darkness is something known as 'indifference'...& one could venture down this foreboding road by not wanting to, or caring, to see someone for whom they are with respect.<BR/>The light, is the much easier, actually much more fun, way to live!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150812469307543848.post-12602581515535828372008-11-19T04:26:00.000-06:002008-11-19T04:26:00.000-06:00Wonderful message if we all could walk a mile in s...Wonderful message if we all could walk a mile in someone else's shoes the world would be a better place.Miss Shirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948305900722983328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150812469307543848.post-32672085718323294852008-11-18T22:07:00.000-06:002008-11-18T22:07:00.000-06:00This is a powerful peice!!!

You have some serious talent and clear clean insight into humanity and Life. <BR/><BR/>You write:<BR/><BR/>"I want to be accepted and loved right here, right now, without having to change in any way. I'll bet you feel the same. What if we really wanted it so badly that we began to see all creatures as having intrinsic value? What if we just let go of the need to judge or profile anyone?"<BR/><BR/>I can't even count the number of times I've felt this same way, but never had such beautiful words for it. That is STUNNINGLY powerful. I get shivers reading the truth of this post. I am going to Stumble your site. Have you ever thought of publishing your writing...you could start on www.ezinearticles.com Pick your top posts and give it a try. I just love your work; it is truly a breath of fresh air. I'm very serious.<BR/><BR/>Excellent job!!! <BR/><BR/>PS there were so many passages here that ring out with clear sweet with truth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150812469307543848.post-31928037031381298922008-08-20T20:11:00.000-05:002008-08-20T20:11:00.000-05:00I've been a them for a while now so maybe I am not...I've been a them for a while now so maybe I am not the only one who feels like I do.
