No One,

"Paradoxically, the less the script is dwelled upon, the more whatever is written in it is enjoyed. It's a secret script...with twists, like a long and rambling M. Night Shyamalan film. Ya never know what's coming."

If enjoying "less" dwelling is in the script, then yes....I imagine that will be followed.

Hey Barbara,

"When you figure out a way out of this circle, or a wayout solution, whichever comes first, could you write about that?"

Only if it's in the script!

Christine,

"i wouldn't use the word scripted... that is like something already written out - and there is always a possibility of an expanded interpretation - which is conditioned... at least my expanded interpretations have always been conditioned - but that does not mean that is necessarily so for everyone. (although i suspect it is)"

It seems to me that any "possibility of expanded interpretation" would also be scripted.
However, it also seems to me that in recognizing the scripted nature of life, one can exit the seriousness that scripts demand. One never plays off the script, but there can be a sense of freedom in realizing it is a script.

More on all this later...

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Well here's my self-inventory and various response/confusion.

Of course I revel and rejoice, when I have time.
Special and unique? - check.
Shriveling, comparing, contrasting, idealizing - yes, all that too.

Were you being audacious?
Am I angered by grains of sand?

Free of stress? What would I be doing if I were free of stress? Especially since you said the freedom thing is off the table without Shakepeare come back to life to write me a part.

Oh, that's back to that special thing again, huh?
I guess it was inevitable I'd have to cop to special the first time around. No freedom without truth, right?

When you figure out a way out of this circle, or a wayout solution, whichever comes first, could you write about that?

hi mike!
i wouldn't use the word scripted... that is like something already written out - and there is always a possibility of an expanded interpretation - which is conditioned... at least my expanded interpretations have always been conditioned - but that does not mean that is necessarily so for everyone. (although i suspect it is)

as far as grains of sand and humans. i would say that there is indeed uniqueness in structure, in the building up and the deterioration ... but a grain of sand and a human being is never static unique - but always responding/relating/changing unique - but always within a conditioned environment... where the individual is both conditioned by the relational reality AND also conditions relational reality...

warm regards
