I'd like to thank Judy for validating the theory I proposed earlier in my first "The *intent* of overly-emotional writing" post and in the followup post she is replying to. She states above that both Raunchy and herself DO have an *intent* behind their harping on the Hillary Thang. She even states what that *intent* IS. She wants us to feel like shit. The thing is, I don't think Judy herself knows what the deeper nature of that wish and that *intent* is, so I'll rap about it a bit more, after she expands upon what her *intent* entails, from her point of view: > We want you to acknowledge your ownership > of the shit you threw at Hillary and her > supporters, to be embarrassed by it, to realize > just how shitty it was, and to repudiate it. > > Because *we don't want it to happen all over > again when the next woman runs for president*. > > Get the point? We do, but I honestly don't think that you do. What you are expressing above has a name: REVENGE. You want REVENGE for the perceived wrong. And I don't think I'm the only person here who understands that you want it a great deal more than you want the wrong "righted." In a few short words in this post Judy recapitulates her entire posting history, which is a 15-year attempt to get the folks she doesn't like to 1) ADMIT that they were "wrong" (and more important, but not stated, that Judy was "right"), and 2) PAY for having done the "wrong" thing. It's a REVENGE fantasy. And I, for one, do not believe that pursuing such fantasies with the diligence and fervor Judy has pursued them for fifteen years has anything whatsoever to do with "righting wrongs" and "making sure they don't happen again." That's just "sweet truth" she shovels out to cover the fact that she's indulging in REVENGE fantasies. REVENGE isn't sweet, let alone Maharishi's "sweet truth." Pursuing it is a state of mind that has known karmic repercussions. Like turning one's life into a *never-ending* quest for REVENGE, and thus perpetuating itself. Like draining the joy from life such that you can *only* find it in moments of perceived REVENGE. Like isolating the person bent on revenge from other people, who easily see what the revenge-seeker cannot -- that their life has devolved into *mainly* the pursuit of revenge. Like starting to see the world around you as *primarily* consisting of causes to seek REVENGE for. In short, it makes you Judy Stein. Those who want to turn out like her, follow her lead and dedicate your life to seeking REVENGE. You *will* turn out just like her. The reason why is a Law Of Nature, of cause- and-effect that has a short and simple name: karma. "Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die." - Malachy McCourt
