RE: Are you honestly HONEST?
Thank you for your insight - I have read it and re-read it and whilst I can appreciate the accuracy of it - I am not sure that you are going to like what I am about to say... every single aspect of your approach is factual, and if I am "honest" my entire piece was gut driven - and as anybody who operates on a gut driven level will testify, there is little or no "analysis" that comes into that process - it is an emotionally and spiritually geared one.
If there was the same level of analysis, then it would become a thought driven - "logical/practical" approach (which is how I am seeing yours.) It is flooded with a thousand facts but no "feeling".
I do not operate on those levels. (honestly no offense meant) - my post was a lot less about the facts and much more about the energetic level of honesty and its impact. I wasn't really looking to dissect the difference between the words and so forth.
Re. your quote: On a grander level, being factual is utterly important, but too difficult for outspoken people. That is why attempting to be proper in honesty is important. This is where political correctness comes in.
Perhaps this is so, because they are emotionally driven and not mentally driven. Political correctness and facts are of zero consequence. Feeling, is!
Honesty can be heart driven. A place which often sees little logic, but is seldom wrong.
I think we have two very contrasting view points on this. Neither wrong, just both very different. :)
Agreed, however, I want to devolve something for a moment.
You are placing logic and emotion as mutually exclusive things as if one does not influence the other. This is a societally placed logic that has existed for far too long to try and effectively devolve on the mass level.
Logic can drive emotion and emotion can drive logic. Some people have a logical person and others have a passionate personality; and, even this is very complex which is why it isn't a binary "this type or that type of person" because there are sixteen personality types.
This is why B*tch is very offensive. It associates outspoken to negative; it associates passionate to negative; most importantly, it associates females to overly emotional which suggests emotions and logic contradict each other.
Also, no offense taken :)! I love discussion and philosophical topics.
I think I have a lot more than sixteen personality types. lol ;) Thanks again for the input and feedback :) - personality No. 25 :D
Fair enough
