Dear Troopers

This is a tale of a man with amnesia...

Clearly, GM, there is nothing much wrong with your memory.

Love,

The Copyist.

So Michael, you have taken the time to copy my style.
Unfortunately, nothing you say is original.
You have borrowed the views of those who ridicule me.
Don’t you have anything of your own?
Like others here, you only give slighted answers
and no valid questions.

Dear Troopers

This is a tale of a man with amnesia
The path of an amnesiac is fraught with misrememberings
It is through online therapy that all was concocted
With the urgings of lookers-on a memory was restored
But the memory was tainted
Recollections of youth were mixed with smatterings of lore
Patiently we watched diaries, watches, friends, and foes
Sucked into the vortex of a damaged brain,
They reassembled, piece by piece, line by line, verse by verse
Coming out the other end, they were warped, twisted, besmirched
A teetering tower of dung, flung at us with simian mirth
Some took of it and ate, some flung it back
It reeked of ancient lies joined with new untruths
It was all of our creation, our monster
Powell the assembler, we the scavengers of parts, the Igor
Rejected, the monster lies waiting
Will it rise again?
It has a bride who, thus far, accepts it
Surely there can be no offspring from this union

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.

I requested a copy of the post that 'seemed' to
be the reason for all the recent thread closures.

I found no malice or ill intention in the writing of the post.
I could see only one line that must have caused the concern,
something personal that a person may not want others to know
about.
But saying that.. people these days, sometimes seem more open
about sharing certain things that have happened in their life.

I cannot understand ... the torrent of abuse that followed, it seems
totally out of proportion.
Maybe just the 'offending' line could have been removed.

Ridicule is an expression of fear.
People ridicule other people who in some way
appear to be different from them.

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.

General Discussion thread??

Ridicule is an expression of fear.
People ridicule other people who in some way
appear to be different from them.
They point and laugh or make some snide remark
which is intended to make fun of another person.
Take the time today to review whom we do not accept
and seek to understand why?
When we discover that the root of our inability
to accept others as they are is our fear,
may we take the time to love and understand
and remove the fear of our ego and accept
and love each other as we are.
If we were all able to do this we would
remove hate and conflict from our lives
and live in love and peace as is our true nature.

To me a general discussion thread would be that people follow
on from the original comment made with their thoughts and ideas
on the subject matter ....

Anyway, without a doubt how we treat others comes back
to haunt us.
This is a nice post ...
