I have often reflected that I have
'filters'
I mind map
spider doodle of my thoughts on my filters
- I believe we all have them ......
filters I mean/not spiders!
Our life has ethos-filters which influence
our language and behaviour
that stuff about
"you are beautiful"
is one of my filters
I was chatting with someone recently
and within a few minutes
he was slagging off people.
NOT particular ones
just anyone who,
it seemed to me,
to be different than he.
That sparked a dialogue.
I asked was he perfect?
Did he need to name call those
with different imperfections
than he.
This stuff really gets me going.
My beautiful-imperfection filter
comes into play.
I suppose I believe that::
what we
believe,
hold as principles,
have as self-guidelines .......
...... they are filters
when it comes to::
communication
2xlanguages
- verbal
- body
lifestyle
attitude
- to our own interior
- to other humans
- to the community/society we live in
- to the comos - the planet we live in
- to the eternal significance
which we all have some contact with ....
behaviour
need and greed
taker or maker
read
or don't read
view or don't view
quantity more-or-less
live or don't live
dwell or don't dwell
tent pitching place
- or following betterment of self.
Filters don't change our feelings
but
do influence the decisions we make
when we get signals from our feelings.
(Feelings are neutral -
neither good nor bad)
they are just real.
Training ourselves
to be in touch with them
and putting them through the filters
is what makes the Road Less Travelled
beautiful
but
still
beautiful imperfection
These are just some of my filters
- offered as a stimulus to you
and myself.
I am keen to keep my list active
because
I must be missing some foundational ones.
One big filter::
-You are beautiful-
.
