Comment Commentary


Cheryl brought something up this morning which I had been pondering, being some of my replies to comments of late, which helped me and may help my readers understand my perspective.

We are all multi-faceted, self-experiencing entities flowing through this existence we chose. We are free to express ourselves whether anyone will listen or not. We are free to be ourselves whether anyone pays attention or not. We are free to act and be as we choose, whether it is judged as right or wrong by those that choose judgement as their filter to communication between ourselves.

In my daily life I make judgements all the time.

Dropping my hot coffee on my foot is not a good thing so I judge not to do it, neither approach is right or wrong.

Driving in traffic I may judge the actions of another to be dangerous and take, what is to me, appropriate action, which may include cursing at times (yes, lots of room for improvement there) however this is to me neither right nor wrong.

On this blog, when I reply to your precious comments, and they are all precious to me, I may disagree with your perspective for any number of reasons, but this is no way invalidates how you choose to perceive your reality. My experience of it, is simply different. So, my opinion is not invalid and neither can yours be, there is no right or wrong, as I've stated in past articles.

There can be no judgement for an effective conversation on matters of the metaphysical since contradiction, dichotomy and paradox are all constant bedfellows on this journey. Everything I've written is based on the premise of sacrificing judgement to gain insight into the bounty within.

This is part of the beauty of our human experience. That we may individualistically experience the world around us and the universe within us, at a very personal level, being our own. Overcoming our own personal fears of rejection by others that we allow to see our true feelings regarding who we are and choose to be, can be a multi-faceted obstacle. It is and has been so in my case.

In summary, I wish you to know that those that post comments have my attention, serve as input into my writing and cause me to think, ponder and feel. I admire those bold enough to place their own personal thoughts and feelings on virtual paper and commit to a perspective, even it only is a temporary one, since we are always evolving. All I ever hope is to illicit the same from you.

Love,
-Mikel

I like honesty and am naturally drawn in conversation to those who can be honest with me, not those who sugar-coat things. So, I think it's great that you give your perspective on this blog and in the comments, because doing so otherwise you would not be true to yourself!
