Later, after the sun had set and it was completely dark out and I couldnt wait any longer .. that's when I saw you wearing those long-sleeve gloves. That's when I knew I was really in for it.

I honestly didnt know how much realness you would be bringing here .. but I knew from the git-go that the dial was going to be turned up.

The girly dial. The womanly dial.

One side of the dial is labeled 'Weak and diluted.' The other side is labeled 'Full-strength' with a flashing red caution warning.

It has been my experience that .. whenever those long-sleeve gloves come out .. this is when the womanly dial is fixin to be dialed up.levels that can only be called full-strength.

Every time and without fail.

I cannot help but wonder, girly .. while you and your friends there at Vevo were conceptualizing the performance of pov that you do here ..

You know the performance I am talking about.

When you were working out the details for the setting and the timing and the execution of this performance ..

 .. did it ever occur to you "I wonder if this guy will be able to handle this?"

Or how about "Maybe I should tone it down a little? Or Maybe I should dial it back a notch or two?" ?

Did such thoughts ever pass through your mind? It's a valid question .. no?

It is a sad, depressing topic to address. Time and again scripture talks about evil forces who deceive the unwitting, who also deceive themselves.

It says a lot of things that would make me very uncomfortable if I were them. And I told them as much.

Scripture says, you know, that God sends a powerful delusion on those who reject the truth.

They repeatedly dismissed my concerns, so I feel as though I genuinely tried to help. I feel like I tried to warn them about perils spelled out so plainly in the scriptures for those on that path.

You know what they say about leading a horse to water.

Did I feel hated there? I could easily share with you all the reasons why I did indeed. But I will simply say that "Yes, I did. I felt hated. I mean, how could I not?" And for no good reason, too.

I was reading this thing the other day about how Jesus' friends initially received him with open arms .. but it wasnt long until they wanted to throw his ass out in the worst way.

I would be lyin' if I said that I couldnt relate.

This page continues from an entry titled » A Feel for the Human Condition Unsurpassed in World Literature (19 June 2021).

In reflecting recently upon the now-faded existential dynamics of that experience .. I was left with a feeling that reminded me of something John wrote.

When he wrote » The light shined in the darkness, but the darkness didnt get it.

I know that I probably shouldnt be so surprised. But I was.

You cannot possibly imagine the level of ecstasy-n-bliss that came over me right after I was able to tell them ..

.. "Okay, they called earlier today to say that they received my certified mail cashier's check for two month's worth of rent as a security deposit to reserve the place for me .. and that my move-in date is now officially April 1st, which happens to be a Thursday.

That was when everything changed. That was when the dynamics changed completely. You could actually feel the psycho-dynamics change dramatically.

The inside flap of the dust jacket for the Pevear translation of The Brothers Karamazov (Everyman's Library) says that Dostoevsky's story is told with » hair-raising intellectual clarity and a feel for the human condition unsurpassed in world literature.

When writing about Dostoevsky in the past I have always focused on another part of the text contained there on the inside flap ..

.. the statement that mentions his » towering reputation as one of a handful of thinkers who forged the modern sensibility.

When I first read that, I set the book down on my lap and wondered, "What does that even mean?"

Impressive as that statement is, it wasnt the thing that impressed me most about his accolades.

When I read that he wrote with a feel for the human condition unsurpassed in world literature, I knew what that meant.

A feel for the human condition.

Every human has a feel for the human condition. You have a feel for the human condition.

Even Sean Hannity has a feel for the human condition .. though not a very good one.

(Kiss my ass, Sean. Reptiles have a feel, too. Just not a human one.)
