Nakka

I am a lone woman. I do not, however, wield a gun– only in my avatar.

My involvement with violence, for the most part is at a physical distance. Except for the violence of living, I study violence, read about it, hear about it, view it, occasionally witness it, and admittedly I practice the motions of it; however, when confronted with opportunities to use it I do not. I prefer nonviolent means of response.

I love humanity.

I am often challenged by my experience of humanity, both by my own reactions and my fellow global mate’s. But the way I see it is that is the very essence of being human. A dichotomy or a duality. The moment of recognizing that the thing that drives you bonkers about someone else is the very thing you’re afraid drives others bonkers about you.

I wonder about thinking. Why do you think the way you do? Why do I? Why do we do the things we do? What were we thinking?

So this is a journey, one that I’m now taking in cyberspace. At least I am on the path.

Attentiveness is the path

to true life;

Indifference is the path

to death.

The attentive do not die;

The indifferent are as if

they are dead already.
