The Usual: Again!!
A Conversation
B So They’re at it again…!
A Yes
B But why?
A You need a reason?
B Of course.
A But They don’t.
B But…
A That’s what separates us from Them.
B Oh
A Yes
B Ah
A Besides..,
B Yes?
A It’s about the only thing they can do half right…
B Ah
A Gives them a bit of self respect…
B I see.
A Yes., you see, one has to be good at at least something !
B Ok
*
A So, one has to be understanding in such matters
B Guess so
A Yes
B I didn’t realize they were so insecure!
A it’s plain to see.
B Ah
*
A This sort of thing shows up in human affairs constantly.
B Really?
A Sure, take Racism, for example.
B Yes?
A They despise the Other.
B For sure.
A Because They feel inadequate.
B Oh?
A Deep down , They feel maybe the Other are really far better than they.
B Really
A Yes. So far from feeling superior, they secretly feel inferior.
B Really?
A Yes, so they put them down ...to sort of get even.
B Oh
A Yes.
B Wow
*
A You bet. It also applies to male female relationships.
B What?
A Yes, males act out misogyny out of sheer envy.
B What?
A Yes, men know they lack the wholeness of women, so they put on an Act.
B I don’t understand?
A Men know that women are stronger and braver than they are, , and that makes them really insecure.
B Oh
A So they put women down,, by rules and rites, and pretend to be the tough guys they are not.
B Oh
A Yes, it’s all an act.
B Goodness me.
A You bet.
*
B Say, how do you know all this? It’s quite remarkable.
A Homo sum humani a me nihil alienum puto
B What!!!
A Sorry, just showing off. I meant as humans we should all know how and why humans act the way they do.
B I take your point.
A Good. Now leave me alone, so I can go find someone to put down , to feel good about myself.
B You can try me?
A No, that would be too easy. I like a challenge.
Ciao.
