1. It’s not required.
   しかし、You should strive to progress.
   There are times when people don’t want to bend into the area of what they feel right, compared to what they are comfortable with. I’m constantly screwed politically, socially, and just about every other way without getting rated-NC17 (and/or X). マクスさん、I’m constantly battling everyone for some kind of validity or comfort zone. And it doesn’t get easier, but you do learn tactics to make it less intimidating.

   Contact information snipped from comment – thanks Eric!

2. Thank you for the very earnest and authentic comment, エリクさん. “It’s not required” — that’s a profound statement.
   It’s a paradox that it can be so hard to express oneself truthfully… shouldn’t that be the easiest thing possible? Though maybe the greatest one can work for in life is to earnestly fight that battle… at least I tend to think so. I’d love to hear some of your tactics.

   I like to think that nobody is capable of taking your validity from you… only you can let them.

   どもありがとう、エリクさん。明日に合いましょう。

3. It’s extremely difficult to express one’s self (from my standing or sitting) because I offend offend people, and even when I say it with conviction, I still carry my disarming grin, which is taken as unsincerity usually. On top of that, it is easy to express myself, but without restriction of hurting others, and express how? Intellectual expression (logic, etc)? or Emotional (feelings, etc)? I think it’s incredible when someone can humble themselves and win with manipulation of their surroundings to remove speculation or other things that would deviate from normal behavior. It’s insane that people who have done things, out of character (supposedly), can do something else. I’m not talking about crazy killers hidding as quiet people, but I mean the other side of being a human that people conceal because they don’t want to be that vunerable. In any case, it’s fun to play with this idea.

   For example, my best tactic is being able to smile most of the time, and mean something else completely, while still holding that smile. When I’m dead serious, it’s because it’s a serious issue to me. I will never smile ever during that moment, and it usually takes a moment to revert to a normal state (smiling again). This doesn’t mean I’m angry or unhappy, just completely focused and unwilling to show myself as disarmed by smiling. It’s not important to have control, it’s important to know that you’re going going to be bent in a way you find completely unacceptable. I always looked at it like dodging with skill in the sense than someone throwing a ball at you sees it hit you, but realistically you dodged it, and a 3 party’s view saw that too.

   No one can take validity from you unless you modify what you say or do, and allow people to believe there is enough room to examine it under their microscope (opinion/ideas/facts).

   -If you find in consistantcies in my ideas, tell me I do bounce around a lot
