Finding a place amongst Wanderers

[Ocean]

I agree with you, Ocean, though I've also heard people use their "indigo status" as an excuse for annoying and even harmful behavior. It's like blaming a behavior on your zodiac sign. "Yeah, I totally cussed that guy out, but it's okay, I'm a Scorpio." Even the bipolar/ADD/OCD/whatever else thing...I've heard so many people blame any and EVERY flaw on a diagnosis. "Sorry I wasn't listening to you. I have ADD." "Sorry I went psycho on your grandma...I must be manic." "Sorry I over-analyze every single thing you do and say...I'm totally OCD." And the list goes on. I'll be the first to admit I have mental issues, but it isn't something I want to use as an excuse or a shield to hide behind. As long as I'm capable of coherent thought, I'm responsible for my own actions.

Annnnd....I'm hijacking the thread. I'll stop now.

the word is also a power word and so you have responsibility. in that way it shouldn't be used as an excuse.

i used to give a lot of excuses but i'm realizing that i need to just cut out the but word and take responsibility. like they say, if you add but after sorry, what are you really saying? so you're right it can be used like that, but then anything can. it's about taking responsibility despite the label.

I remember trying to explain LOO to someone and they got a bit angry saying it was hierarchical BS and people thinking they were better than others.

I explained thinking like that would be like saying Yellow is a better colour than Orange or that G is a better note than D It's just variations on a theme ;D

this is so true.

also, i've always kind of envied the "native" souls because they belong to this beautiful place and seem to have such roots here. the grass is always greener. but really, i've come to really love earth's beauty despite always feeling out of the loop. we have so much diversity, i was shocked that other planets have one race of people. we have many, and many animals and plants. i always took that for granted.
