We cannot choose young/old, short/tall, bright/dull, male/female, parents/children, talented/talentless, and similar factors but we can choose some precious few others. They are very hard to deal with however. <BR/><BR/>That about us which is false is an interesting area for contemplation. I have lately been working on a poem about the first part of what we are discussing but I haven't attempted to put it through a true/false analysis. I'll give that a shot! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the interesting dialog on this vital subject, my old friend!Russell Ragsdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530659064306025325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-56766851066125763952007-06-13T07:35:00.000-07:002007-06-13T07:35:00.000-07:00I think you right.

Not that I think of myself in those terms nor do I wish to make excuses for my self.<BR/> I certainly feel that aspects of this life we lead are false and that we all, if we could and had enough talent, would chose to do something different with our lives.Russell CJ Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519621428036481426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-43325232093784780672007-06-12T10:24:00.000-07:002007-06-12T10:24:00.000-07:00Thanks Pat!

Sometimes the sharpness of contact confuses us about how poorly constructed are the things which strike us so strongly. This is especially true in childhood when our trust is so strong. Thanks for the wonderful comment.Russell Ragsdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530659064306025325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-69484425153019648712007-06-12T10:17:00.000-07:002007-06-12T10:17:00.000-07:00Hi CJ!

I was listening to an interview of a rather famous English artist when i realized these things poetically. Thanks for such a fabulous comment my old friend (and often alter ego).
