Personality Interference

I apologise to anyone reading this blog for its major storyline.  I have let my personality, with opinions that are often cynical (due to part of me still feeling like an unwanted, unloved, undesired social outcast [the small child punished out of proportion to the misbehaviour]), overshadow the story here.

My goal is to project every moment into the future/present/past to see the possibilities and predict positive/negative consequences, always expecting the positive but prepared for the negative.

Sometimes, I let my personal desires and feelings come first.  In a blog telling the story of our species, I respect the rights of all of us to shine forth in this space, regardless (or irregardless, if you prefer) of my opinions, no matter whether they're positive or negative.

My Boy Scout and Navy officer training revealed to me a long time ago that a true leader listens to others and carries out plans that include the best of what the group has to offer, issuing advice for rechannelling opinions that do not serve the interests of the whole group but may help individuals or subgroups immensely.  I forgive myself for deviating from that training and commend myself for getting back on track.

As I/you can see, selflessness is not the easiest trait of mine to display.  Time to slow myself down, calm the small child in me, take myself out of the story again, and talk about you.
