Looking Into An Argument From The Outside
The other day I was looking for a particular video clip of a Monty Python movie online. I found this instead. This came out of a Monty Python movie. Made me laugh and want to share.
You have got to love human nature - Thank you for stopping by.
Man:
|
Oh look, this isn't an argument!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Yes it is!
|
Man:
|
No it isn't! It's just
contradiction!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No it isn't!
|
Man:
|
It IS!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
It is NOT!
|
Man:
|
Look, you just contradicted me!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
I did not!
|
Man:
|
Oh, you DID!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No no no!
|
Man:
|
You did just then!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Nonsense!
|
Man:
|
(exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No it isn't!
|
Man:
|
I came here for a good argument!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No you didn't, no, you came here
for an argument!
|
Man:
|
An argument isn't just
contradiction.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
CAN be!
|
Man:
|
No it can't! An argument is a
connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No it isn't!
|
Man:
|
Yes it is! 'tisn't just
contradiction.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Look, if I argue with you,
I must take up a contrary position!
|
Man:
|
Yes but that's not just saying
"no it isn't".
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Yes it is!
|
Man:
|
No it isn't! Argument is an
intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any
statement the other person makes.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No it isn't.
|
Man:
|
Yes it is!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Not at all!
|
Man:
|
Now look...
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
(Hits a bell on his desk) [DING] Good morning!
|
Man:
|
(stunned) What?
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
That's it. Good morning.
|
Man:
|
But I was just getting interested!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.
|
Man:
|
That was never five minutes!!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
I'm afraid it was.
|
Man:
|
It wasn't...
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to
argue any more.
|
Man:
|
WHAT??
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
If you want me to go on arguing,
you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
|
Man:
|
Yes, but that was never five
minutes just now! Oh Come on!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
(Hums to himself.)
|
Man:
|
Look this is ridiculous!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to
argue unless you've paid!
|
Man:
|
Oh all right. (Pays.)
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Thank you.
|
Man:
|
Well...
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Well WHAT?
|
Man:
|
That wasn't really five minutes
just now.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
I told you, I'm not allowed to
argue unless you've paid!
|
Man:
|
Well I just paid!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No you didn't!
|
Man:
|
I DID!!!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No you didn't!
|
Man:
|
Look, I don't want to argue about
that!
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Well, you didn't pay!
|
Man:
|
Ah HAH!! If I didn't pay, why are
you arguing??? I've got you.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No you haven't!
|
Man:
|
Yes I have! If you're arguing, I
must have paid.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
Not necessarily. I could be
arguing in my spare time.
|
Man:
|
Oh, I have had enough of this.
|
Mr. Vibrating:
|
No, you haven't.
|
Man:
|
Oh, shut up!

I Decided To Love You!
I decided to love you. I do not expect you to hurt me. I am not listening for you to make mistakes. I do not see things as a problem. If I do... then only I could have the solution to the problem I created. In my heart, you are perfect. If I THINK that you are not perfect, then I need to look to my heart and there I will find the truth.
As long as you see yourself as less than perfect then you will always see me that same way.
It is only in seeing your own perfection that you could possibly see mine.
Please find your own perfection, then maybe you will decide to love me too.

Life is not what it seems...
The truth is the consciousness that is looking at these words...not the words themselves.
When I first layed eyes on the truth (which cannot be seen with the sames eyes that you view the world with) the light came on and went back off. So in my experience it was on and off.
There reaches a moment when it comes on... never to be extinquished again.
Life is not what it seems... I keep trying to get you to open your eyes and see it. I have no reason to tell you this other than for you to find within you what I found within me that gives access to a true life of freedom. There is nothing for me to gain by telling you this, but you have everything to gain by believing it. Once you find it... you will see it everwhere and then you will just know what I am telling you is the truth.
