The Ambivalence of Truth & Reality

...As told ambiguously by an optimistic hermit of pessimisms... 

Conventional wisdom teaches us that we don’t have to make our own mistakes to learn.  Every waking moment is an opportunity to absorb someone else’s disarticulations, miscalculations, misjudgments or miscalculated lack of articulated judgment.  And yes, it’s perfectly acceptable to learn from other people’s mistakes…unless of course…

”You think you’re better than others”…? 

I take it with good humor, that people use this expression so frequently.  Whether they use it correctly or not; is an entirely different subject.

Our most humanly and incredulous nature leads us to believe that our biggest critics (aka. my haters—another subject on its own) will never know what it’s like ‘to walk a mile in my shoes.’  Meaning, that they will never understand the challenges I face.

Contrary to what appears to be popular belief, #hashtags are NOT the cool new way to write EVERYTHING!

Spam Wishers...

So, I had someone ask me, “Why do you always have to ‘interrogate’people about PTC sites (Pay To Click), you do know that most of them are real, right?”

First of all; please don’t ever fool yourself into believing that most PTC sites are real, that is absolutely false!  Second of all; I have nothing against PTC sites; there are some fairly reasonable to excellent ones out there.  I do, however, strongly oppose persons foolishly chasing every PTC rainbow they see…and submitting my email and or any other personal information about me to random websites.  That is a very bad practice.  And unfortunately, sometimes our bad practices deflect upon others.

Here are the top three reasons why I interrogate you:
