Good intentions. Who among us are without them. Intentions are like... opinions. Everyone's got one. Or; There's nothing more annoying than a well meaning asshole. Doing Well is not the same as Intending Well. In a highly polarized world it appears the uniting bond is mere intention. In the words of Tiberius Caesar "These statues DO!" And to steal an idea from the Hitchhikers's Guide to The Galaxy... I'm buying a robot that will believe things that I am unable to believe in myself. "Hey you believe me don't you? - No but I have a robot that will". I ask; What is the value of good intentions (other than not being bad). A great deal of good intention seems to accompany bad results. Is there a level of intent. Can a we measure the amount of a persons intent?
I'm not going to define the word - intention. We all know what it is and what it means. You were going to do something or think something and you forgot. It slipped your mind. You just haven't gotten around to it. Can a person attain great command over their ability to express wonderful intentions without the responsibility of producing desirable results. Yes I wax rhetorical.
A great amount of bullshit can be sold if mixed with a little truth. It's as if you keep the bullshit thick so the truth is even more noticeable. "I'm sorry I can't understand you. Could you bullshit me more so I can more clearly comprehend the point you are trying to avoid". Walk into a room and dramatically freeze and state that you "feel a weird presence" and watch how many people agree with you. I don't want to elaborate any further on the Germanic Anglo preoccupation with fecal matter. It's weird and I don't care if I'm coming off as closed minded. Just say no to public excretion and regurgitation. Jesus H. Christ isn't there already laws in place to protect me from having to see this sort of behavior? Yes you can turn the channel but you can't unsee a vomituous commercial fast enough to turn your eyes or mute the remote.
Colored water has probably made more dishonest money than any other nonvolatile substance on the face of the planet. The numbers game is on your side when selling snake oil. The placebo effect explains how so many forms of "healing" are validated. People heal on their own without intervention of any kind. Bullshit artists sell you colored water knowing that 3 out of 5 will heal regardless - and then lay claim to being responsible for the results. The blue coloring wasn't bad for you. The water was not bad for you. But telling you that blue water was responsible for your recovery is a deception that even learned people accept. Perhaps our unending need for gimmicks beget this acceptance.
