Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

This is fascinating.

How does DMSI work around (or with) this "fact"?

DMSI uses the rules of the game you don't know about, and uses the ones you did know about in ways that you didn't know were allowed...

And what you're like me and oblivious to the rules of the game and/or tend to ignore them?

Oh, people like you are welcome to stand in the corner and bang your head against the wall all you want.

I'm serious. What can I do to learn these rules that I'm oblivious to? When " idgaf" doesn't work because it disregards the need for playing the game, I can't help but be stuck.

I'm not intentionally trying to f*ck up. Contrary to popular belief.

Seems like "normal" people assume I'm just refusing to do what is obvious, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. So it's either "dgaf" and be autistic, or actually figure out what I'm missing. But no one seems to be able to explain what exactly it is that I'm missing.

Like I said "f*cked".

The first rule is, you as a human being cannot force the whole world to operate the way you want it to. No matter what you do, how much you want it, or who you are.

That is the rule you refuse to follow. You do seem to be making strides in the right direction, though.

You can change certain things through various means, but not the whole thing. That means you have to go with the flow sometimes. Work with "what is", instead of trying to change it. The key is knowing when you can change something, and when you cannot. It's not always easy to learn, or teach that stuff. I've tried to help, but we don't seem to communicate well enough for me to put it in words that you understand. Maybe that is not an accident.

Some rules you are meant to be aware of, and some you are not. For those you are not supposed to be aware of, you have to rely on your deep subconscious, higher self or whatever you want to call it, to help you out. Which I'm doing through subs.

Beyond that, it's the grindstone of life. That's why they say youth is wasted on the young: they don't know what they've got, because they haven't had the experience to understand yet.
