Lessons in Truth and Fiction.
You have back pain all the time. You ask your doctor "why do I have back pain all the time?"
Your doctor says "it is normal for your age just take some Advil." you believe him (Fiction*10).
So now you take Advil for your back pain.
After work you are driving home minding your own business, you notice a cop car driving next to you,
suddenly the lights go on and the officer signals you to pull over.
The police officer approaches your car and asks you, if you know why he pulled you over and you say " I don't know".
He says you were speeding, although you did not see any radar gun or anything,
as far as you know the officer just pulled you over for no reason.
You are intimidated by the officers' authority (Fiction*11) and do not challenge the officer on how he calculates you were speeding.
You decide to play it safe and think if you admit to speeding you will get off with a warning,
even though you have no idea if you were speeding or not. (Fiction*12). You say sorry to the officer for speeding,
the idea backfires and the officer now has reason to issue you a speeding ticket.
You get home in a bad mood.
Your wife is waiting with a brilliantly cooked meal. During the meal, the phone rings and you answer,
It is a man's voice asking for your wife. You hand her the phone in suspicion (Fiction*13).
She goes around the corner to talk, your suspicion grows. After the call you ask her who it was, she says
" Its an old ex boyfriend who is in town and just visiting for the day so I am going to go and meet him"
You become furious (Fiction*14) and explode on her. Now you have successfully ruined the marvelous dinner,
and have jeopardized your marriage. She storms out and you go smoke a joint to calm down (Fiction*15).
Later on you try and sleep and as usual you cannot fall asleep because your mind in going 1000 mph (Fiction*16).
So you take sleeping pills to actually fall asleep. Next day starts and the cycle repeats all over again.
Now I will explain the fiction point for point in the above story.
Fiction*1) (How do you know you are 35 years old? - If you don't understand what I am talking about here,
please see the "The difference between belief and knowledge section in beginners on this site).Fiction*2) You think you are the director of marketing. In fact you are only acting in the capacity of that fictional character.
Fiction*3) You are proud to give out the cards. What is pride?
A fictional concept of grandeur in which one makes oneself out to be more than he is,
or An excessively high opinion of oneself; conceit, and must display that self imposed image for all to see.
(You can enjoy your job, but to exalt ones one's self worth according to a fictional job is ludicrous.)Fiction*4) Forth fiction is associating the words Director of Marketing with wealth, respect and prestige,
If Director of Marketing itself is a fictional character how can this fiction command wealth, respect and prestige?
Fiction*5) When some one cut in front of you in line at the lunch room. You thought "that asshole just cut in front of me and took my spot!"
You thought asshole. You reduced a (human being / living soul) down to a hole of an ass in your own mind. (Fiction)Fiction*6) Cutting in front - Is there some rule book that says this man cannot walk in front of you and wait?
Even if there was a rule book, who's rule book would it be? No ones! We weren't born with it!
How can something be yours if you were not born with it or it is not a part of your body?
Budding in line or cutting in front, is a fictional concept based in fictional unwritten rules that not everyone believes in, or has even heard about!Fiction*7) Took your spot, Your spot!!? How is that possible?
Your spot is where you are standing!
How can the empty space in front of you be your spot, if you are not standing in it?
So what he is mad about is, in his mind he has claimed that empty space,
because he has reason to believe he will be moving to that spot in the near future,
so he does not want any interference in his plan for future movement to that spot.
Therefore the claiming of that spot, is all a part of a intricate plan to blame someone else,
if his own expectation of moving to that spot in the next available opportunity is not met.
