“Those who violate the rights of others do so with the abuse/misuse of definitions (boundaries). To define is to bound. Holding onto known-definitions, the violator of individuation bludgeons others with their "boundaries / definitions." The anti-social hold onto what they know, using their definitions (boundaries) to resist the unknown and to stop others from moving into the unknown. The psychopathic among us cling fervently to their need to bound others and bound themselves. Boundaries implies bondage. The unknown implies moving into what is boundless, infinite. Those who fail to advance, fall back into the familiar, the bounded, in bondage with the known, the familiar, the habitual, the habit, habitat. One's true nature is boundless and infinite.”

“Every Joke has a bottom, a familiar pain, anger, trauma. "Get it? Do ya get it?" Whatever the joke is, it's usually only funny once, sometimes not at all. David Bohm would report being distressed and disturbed by Krishnamurti's "jokes", and even Carl Jung thought Kierkegaard, with his emphasis on comedy was borderline pathological. Kierkegaard's comedy emphasized the "winning side". No one could make people laugh like Jung could, however, he wasn't necessarily trying to be funny. Some make people laugh due to the warmth of their rapport with the other, not necessarily because of the sophistication or memorization of a worn out joke. Compulsive joking about some familiar or unfamiliar pain will only take you so far. People get turned off by the repetitive need to find entertainment in something distressing and all too familiar.”

“We can find better adjectives than cool, and not glorify someone's temperature setting. There is a wise tenderness that will find the empathetic, not through expectation or demand. The lameness and weakness no longer feared, and the feminine hygiene products (douche) not used to describe a man's character or likeness. A douche is used before a surgery, a device born of dire necessity. The word neurotic has it's net, and perhaps soon all these disturbing word-nets will be retired, and the hurt and disturbance will be forgotten through bliss and peace. All language and all pain stops, no words there to cause pain. Sweet forgetfulness.”
