Some of us miss the whole point of communicating , some of us miss the whole point of life. Some don't even show up for life. Your a wise one my friend!

I will ponder the broader implications of "self-ignorance"
How we are not even aware of who we are, or what we want, and when we speak....what is it we are truly communicating .......

Yes. Responsibility contains a responsibility not to be drawn into materialism.

Avant, That is a Masterpiece. I think the following lines are memorable...
"Freedom comes when all participants have put down the yoke of blame. Innocence is a condition that exists at the outset, and needs no circumstance to validate it."

I'm free-to freely express what's inside but only some of it.On the outside
I enjoy my freedom but deep down I know what is called responsibility is a way to supress my freedom, because if love speaks freely, whay the fear, the restriction, the patronising attitudes and eavesdropping?

your message is always clear to me. Maybe it's not the one you intend but it's always there for me. You share a message of love, acceptance and peace. I am never disappointed.

Nice work again. We communicate our entirety though we often only register a small fraction. I always enjoy a sharing where sensitivity for the deeper needs of the human is acknowledged.

Blame is a yoke that Ego uses to control. And for many, an incumbrance too large to remove. Great work, as always!

'the seed of discord is sown in self-ignorance" - how true!
so much better and wiser to check ourselves before we put mouth in motion...(make sure mind is in full gear..
