The Rank of the Norm

the rank of the norm:

the machine, the electricity that flows, the switch, the button, and what you see? take for example, the miniature plastic rubber doll, with heavy duty batteries, see it move, see it dance, hear it sing, a trophy doll in the presentation package.

persistent stress, persistent strain, peristrait in bed. what next? once i get out of bed, i need to level up!

emotionally speaking there is fear, anger, hate, love, want, happy, sorrow. not in any particular order. normal, what is it? the capacity to cope in the situation. however we are also guided by other forces, other emotions, other electric parts of ourselves. what of longing, what of hope, what of funny, indeed what new terms can there be?

electric, then perhaps lecre and ectra could explain motivation in life, if you know what i mean!

suggesting that emotions might be more important that reasoning, that some will not be held back by any logical argument preventing them from proceeding with their planning for life.

An Opinion on Pride Confidence and Arrogance

an opinion on pride confidence and arrogance:

in language, words may have a fuzzy meaning, several words may mean more or less the same thing, such as in the case of pride, confidence and arrogance. generally, recently, pride is rather neutral, it could be good or bad, confidence is thought of as good, and arrogance as bad.

having thought about it today, let me offer my opinion on what each word may really mean, in essence, and how the three words could be differentiated.

pride is something like, "i am very good and i deserve all the good things in life".

confidence is something like, "everything's going to work out great for me".

and finally arrogance is like, "i am right", to the extent that other people seem wrong, or at least less right than myself!

so as you can tell, defined as such, the three are not quite the same thing. but what am i? now i've been accused of all three in the past, but really, i protest! pride is not something i've felt a lot of. am i very good? how can i be when i'm this paranoid thinking about evil things happening? do i deserve anything? what does deserve really mean anyway?! confidence, no! i'm thinking about things going wrong all the time! so i'm left with, if i am guilty of any of the three, arrogance. i am not wrong! perhaps i am right!
