I saw a phrase which interested me which is the following
Deconstruct eternity
Philosophical stereo called deconstruction which I think was invented by Jacques Derrida
On the face of it deconstructing eternity sounds very peculiar since eternity is so enormous, in a sense. Could you breaj it down?
Well insight it comes from a book about post traumatic stress disorder and it seems to mean the following
If you have a flashback and our reliving the trauma that caused your problems, apparently you will feel as if it’s going to last forever or that it’s going to keep coming back to you forever and.
Apparently this is not true so that’s what they mean that even if you feel something terrible is happening and it’s going to last forever don’t believe it because it won’t. At least it’s never happened to anybody
The term is used in a misleading way in my opinion because it’s not eternity that you’re deconstructing it’s your own thoughts.
And it’s very good idea not to believe all of your own thoughts as with an article in the Guardian about this poor woman who feels she’s very ugly.
It’s not because he looks at Navara and think she’s ugly it’s because she has what are called intrusive thoughts. These intrusive thoughts are all like a voice nagging her that she’s ugly and eventually she’s come to believe it but why should you believe it just because either something in your own self or even another person keeps telling you that you’re ugly. Don’t believe what people say necessarily because they may have ulterior motives like you break up with your boyfriend and he says
Well I didn’t really want to stay with you permanently because you’re so ugly.
That sounds as if he is upset by you deserting him or throwing him out and he tries to make himself feel better by saying that you are ugly
to have these thoughts that you’re ugly coming from somewhere inside you again it seems like you’re dissatisfied with yourself but you didn’t make yourself you grew from the Union of two cells
Nature has created you and even frogs and toads are thought to be beautiful by their mates
So why should you feel you’re ugly just because you’re not like some famous film star because most of us are not lack of famous film star and it’s probably fortunate because if you want to pursue a career in a serious manner being very beautiful can be a handicap. Let’s face it how many people are really really beautiful? Well it’s all dependence isn’t it if I love my friend to me she is beautiful regardless of conventional wisdom about the subject
Some black people think that white people are more beautiful and on the other hand many white people feel that black people are more beautiful more graceful more adept it running and other bodily activities but can you compare on to another? Not really but if you are looking for a mate, you find someone who’s beautiful to you not to the general public at large. If you see what I mean
