J'ai mis mon képi dans la cage
et je suis sorti avec l'oiseau sur la tête
Alors
on ne salue plus
a demandé le commandant
Non
on ne salue plus
a répondu l'oiseau
Ah bon
excusez-moi je croyais qu'on saluait
a dit le commandant
Vous êtes tout excusé tout le monde peut se tromper
a dit l'oiseau.
~Jacques Prévert: Quartier Libre

Afternoon
Show off
well heck I have to show this off even though it never
does much good seeing as how I am somewhat a part collaborator but oh well but this I must say is quite well frankly amazing especially when you get to the center of the page.
The grand scheme falls into perfect harmony
well I won't be suprised if not to many get it
its rather a mind blower....
I mean surely its not to scale but its the start of something
I did wonder if I should do just because I could and thought well maybe well give it a try and given the seeming impermanance of the web anyway it could vanish as quickly or if I get in a pouty mood and trash it but...
well its not that I like trashing things ....
its just well not sure
but anyway
welcome to the GALAXY WIDE WEB
Link = [link]
oh and thanks everyone who helped without knowing
it starting to grow and grow and well
its just beautiful
any who
shine on

Prospero, you are the master of illusion.
Lying is your trademark.
And you have lied so much to me
(lied about the world, lied about me)
that you have ended by imposing on me
an image of myself.
Underdeveloped, you brand me, inferior,
that's the way you have forced me to see myself.
I detest that image! What's more, it's a lie!
But now I know you, you old cancer,
and I know myself as well. More >

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The just-world phenomenon, also called the just-world theory, just-world effect or just-world hypothesis, refers to the tendency for people to believe that the world is "just" and so therefore people "get what they deserve."
One study gave women what appeared to be painful electric shocks while working on a difficult memory problem. Those who observed the experiment appeared to blame the victim for her fate, praised the experiment, and rated her as being less physically attractive than those who had seen her but not the experiment.
In another study, subjects were told two versions of a story about an interaction between a woman and a man. Both variations were exactly the same, except at the very end the man raped the woman in one and in the other he proposed marriage. In both conditions, subjects viewed the woman's (identical) actions as inevitably leading to the (very different) results.
Studies have shown that those who believe in a "just world" may be more likely to believe that rape victims must have behaved seductively, battered wives must have deserved their beatings, that sick people must have caused their own illness, or that the poor deserve their lot.
In this way, if something good (like a job promotion) or bad (like an injury) occurs, people attribute the occurrence to the person, not to a chance turn of events. For example, some people feel that those living on the street are homeless because they are too lazy to find a job, rather than considering alternatives such as bad luck or mental illness. Likewise, if someone invests well and is rewarded by it, most people believe that the person is smart and a good investor, instead of it being chance.
Closely related cognitive biases include hindsight bias, the illusion of control, the halo effect, self-serving bias and the fundamental attribution error. The effect could also be explained in terms of cognitive dissonance theory. More >

The Buddha
Actually as I recall ...
The Buddha taught that the reality of the world is suffering.
And the way to enlightenment is the elimination of desires.
How does attraction fit in then.
Attraction presupposes a desire whether conscious or unconscious.
To eliminate desires thus is to hence eliminate attractions either positive or negative, thus to percieve not reality persae but truth which is the essence of enlightment.
