Illusions

Post by _Amaterasu »

Think!

Who was I in your eyes? How was I treated?

Why did I come back with that new user name while not being conscious of my choice. Same human, though. How was I treated?

WHO AM I? Am I who you thought? Look about you and your other illusions that YOU have created! I see reality. I see individuals!

A couple of questions:

1. What is it that will bring you closure?

2. Who here, who hurt you and still regularly posts, has not apologized to you, on more than one occasion?

We recreate ourselves everyday. No need to revisit the past, over and over, like the movie Groundhog Day.

While some people may have long memories and seek revenge or retribution, others have long forgotten all interaction.

You don't get it! I'm not seeking revenge and never was! This is about the next time you see someone you don't turn away and you recognize that there's a human being. I was beat senseless in front of most of you and then continually beat up for the next year while I was seeking answers to my questions. You don't get that I'm attempting to enlighten you - why? Because all you see is what you want to see.

by the way, educate yourself:

What's this about exactly? Enlightenment regarding what?

Are you including me in the "Ya'll" and if so, why?

Perhaps you are from South Jersey.

Well, I could be!

I'm officially putting myself in time out for the duration of this thread.

And I don't care HOW much I fuss! I'm not getting up until I say so!

Mon if I am honest, when I first came here, you were one of the first people I got to know. I knew you under a different name. When your name changed I found it difficult to believe it was you. I felt you were a totally different person. But over time as I got to know you as mon and associated you with another name I begun to grow connections between the two names, although there isn't a complete connection because to me you are both still different. But, you in your previous name is something I am not likely to see again so just not thinking about that person helps and getting to know you again as mon also helps. But that could just be because I am a tard.
