for me is that you categorize anyone that is even remotely to the right of the middle. Robert does this also. I find it hard at times to get my point across because you seem to have me already figured out by your own perception. But I fear you judge from your own thought mirror.
Truly, you perceive correctly that I am an *ape*. Not a *shark*. But then you try to lobotomize my thoughts from where you sit. You *might* consider me a slight rebel amongst my kind,*sharks*, but I don't see myself exactly that way. I don't fit in with common thoughts of the day, (a pop culture type version of what should and should not be truth) I really do hear my own drummer, and sit alone on my stump of beliefs. Therefore indeed, I am self reflective in my ideology.
What is at the solid core of who I am is my own ideology. Therefore, I am ideological. I believe we all have the ability to change the course of our own destiny, even if it is just a slight shift.
I feel that it is up to the individual to decide what is good, just and moral according to their own searching for answers. For themselves.Not someone else's search for what they think is good, right and just. That makes me a stubborn asshole individualist.
I have found, that in my vision quest that when you leave answers up to the individual the end result, through extensive self reflection and experiences, is, that we leave everyone to their own devices and allow them to evolve at their own rate. This is how we are not equal. We are all on a different page in the same book.
I am about the freedom to decide for ourselves the pace at which we read the book, this is my ideology.
Now, Congress? Politicians? Yes, they pervert. It is the nature of our beast. We will always have this.
MY ideology is that I will not be corrupted by their perversions, right, left or in between. I stand my ground.
I am not defined, and I will never be defined by shallow greediness from a few clueless humans.
I have evolved past that. I will slip and fall and crack my skull open and bleed on everyone near me from time to time, but I am always getting up and trying to do better for myself and for those I touch.
