Another reason for my seriously considering pulling the plug on this, is trying to figure out how this place fits in with these principles, specifically:
- Always maintain only a joyful mind.
- Abandon poisonous food.
- Don't be so predictable.
- Don't malign others.
- Don't wallow in self-pity.
I mean, that's most of the content gone, right there, particularly that last one.
Wait, that's self-pity, isn't it?
Fuck.
See the problem?
I think there is a difference between 'wallowing in self-pity' and 'processing something externally.' If you're the sort of person who needs to get a frustration out on the tabetop and fiddle wth it for a whaile until it seems to be dealt with (at least for the moment), then maintaining the table on which to do this hardly seems like wallowing.
So does this place seem like a functional process, for you? Like a way to improve your own state or those of your readers? If yes, then you're not breaking your rules. And if no, wll, then, there you are.
Miss you.
