Thread: Seeming Seams

"Everything always looks good on paper"


"Nothing ever looked so good"


If it seems so...

Must be so...

Oh?

If so, why so?

If no, why no?

To which do you refer?

I don't know.

Almost nothing is "black or white" to me. The world is full of "shades of gray".

My line of thinking is still somewhat cynical though: "Most things have strings attached" or "Things are seldom as good as they appear."

But to say EVERYTHING is this or that... I usually don't agree with such lines of thinking.

Ah, in other words...

"Nothing is what it seems."

It's funny how that assertion can come across as either timid or arrogant depending on which meaning one focuses on.

To me, the seams seem to exist directly proportional to the amount of seeming or lack thereof regarding perceived seams of this or that...

Therefore, if you see meaning regarding this or that... you see meaning regarding this or that...

If you see none... you see none...

The name of the game.

Confirm or deny.

Who is it making the choice?

Can it be located and put into words?

Oh no! Another headache inducing thread
I can't quite wrap my brain around it.

It's like someone saying: "It's ALWAYS proper to spank children who are misbehaving."
ALWAYS? What if the child is sick, experiencing loss or trauma, is simply having a bad day.
There's simply too many variables to give a concrete answer without having SPECIFICS.

Thus, there's never an always answer.

...Although to say so would be an always. So there's almost never an always answer.

Everything without strings. The strings are only present if you think the strings are present.
