I confess.....

Illusions... Humans seem fond of using illusions to deceive themselves, and to control one another... I hate such illusions, constantly chafe against them. Foremost amongst the illusions that I do battle with is the illusion of freedom we think we have. But also high up on the list is the illusion of security that we weave to make us feel safer. Think: confiscating nail clippers from old ladies at the airport. Yeah, that kind of illusion of security.

Yestereve at my weekly AD&D game, my character was killed (again), and I had some time to let my mind wander. I found myself examining the fancy conference phone that was in the room we were playing in (this was in a conference room where I work). I noticed that it was tied down with a steel cable, and the cable was attached to the phone with some fancy "security screw" that had two holes on the top of it rather than a standard driver interface. Apparently the screw was cleverly designed so that it could only be unscrewed by somebody who had one of the special security screwdrivers... Or, as it turns out, a Leatherman.

I confess that starting from the moment I noticed this security screw, in under 30 seconds I had it unscrewed, for no real reason other than I could do so. Having loosed this security screw, I sat and pondered what a feeble illusion of security it presented. And as pointing out obvious holes in illusions is one of my favourite pastimes, I got a funny idea: I attached the cable and screw a can of Dr. Pepper that I had just finished drinking.



After I'd done this and brought it to the attention of my friends, one of them asked me, "Are you going to leave it like that?" And without pause and before I could answer, he immediately amended, "What am I saying; of course you are." He knows me well.

I confess, I left the can on the table in the conference room with the security cable attached. It's a subtle message; I wonder if anyone will grok it...

Good fortune,

I'm pretty sure that if I had lied about my gender to you, I wouldn't have an excuse to be mad; it'd be my fault for lying. (Naturally, I can't speak for you if the opposite occurred.)

I confess the microwave upstairs keeps beeping randomly. I can't figure out why; it doesn't have a common time interval, there's nothing in it, and so far as I can tell, it has no reason to be doing such. Although it might not actually be beeping; maybe I'm just hearing it.

Mad with yourself?

I'm so naive concerning many things; do people who lie care that they do if it affects the ability to hold onto that which the lie wrought?

oh man christians piss me off. i mean if you cant answer the questions i have atleast admit it

This is true. I would be mad with myself.



I think it depends on the person and the thing he/she is trying to hold onto.

Oh man atheists piss me off. They don't know what they're missing, living life without the Lord.

Oh man both of them poss me off becaus neither side has PROOF wheter god exists or not,and they just attack each other because they enjoy being ignorant.

This experiment Fails

I confess that my misconceptions about internet cafes were wrong
& my trepidations were right.

I also confess it really sucks being off WP at home.

I confess the world of dating seems to be just one massive insult to our kind...

I confess my mouse is blinking again.

I confess that I am abosutely tired out

I confess that seeing athiests and religous people argue is scary.

Ditto

I confess my internet connection decided to work again this morning 2 hours after being turned on
& here am I with no plan.

I confess that I hate downloading music for my brother.

I confess... Humans who slot themselves as professional victims disgust me. Such people are weaklings and cowards, beneath contempt.

So you were abused as a child; welcome to life as a human. Now you've grown up. And still you cower in fear at anyone who reminds you of the person or people who abused you. How very pathetic; you've been broken, and allowed yourself to stay that way.

Guess what; I was abused as a child as well. And I refuse to prostrate myself as a victim, and lash out at anyone who may remind me of those who abused me. Or, worse still, cower in fear of them because they make me "uncomfortable".

If I came here seeking help in the case that I might have some dangerous tendencies... I know I would not find it, because I might make some people "uncomfortable".

If you have a problem with someone, with something, have the courage to face it head on. Don't hide behind your victimhood.

Good fortune,
