Ah crap. No, that was piss-poorly worded by me. A lifetime struggle of trying to take the intertwingled mess in my head and trying to sort it out and keep it short, and that's a regular/recurring fail on my part. Seeing everything as interconnected/intertwined/intertwingled, and feeling so different from everybody my whole life because of it, I've come to see it as me being cognitively flawed. A weakness. Something that makes me broken vis-à-vis everybody else, as in I don't fit in this world. Hardly something that makes me better than anybody. To compensate for that broken feeling, I try to think that a greatest weakness can be a greatest strength. It makes me feel better about myself. I was trying to express where my obviously unorthodox way of thinking comes from, and to express that I try to see my flaw (seeing everything connected) as a strength, and that "strength", just as my experiences, are just things that shape my perspectives, not things that make me better than anybody else. Maybe perspective in context is useful. All of that just in the hopes that folk can understand my perspective (agree or disagree, both are A-1; just like any perspective you may have, it is based on your own experience, so your perspective is just as valuable as mine in conversations.) Expressing my own perspective is always in the hope of connecting someday with somebody who may understand what I'm trying to convey, and maybe find a better way to explain it back to me, because I struggle to find the words to explain what I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
