Writing and "What you waiting for?" By Gwen Stefani

https://youtu.be/yWA4uJOXF-g If you watch this video and tried to force it to fit you'd be trying to fit yourself into overcoming generational curses that aren't yours to overcome. That's why so many writings are hated by some people. They wanted everything to fit their head like a crown of thorns so as to feel glorified and included. At least that's what my cynicism tells me. Usually the more nuanced and fair you are to strangers from a distance the less fair you are to them in person. The attitude described above is common enough so as to fit an attitude anyone can avoid in themselves. Anyone is capable of a bad attitude or a dumb perspective or a genius perspective any given day. That's the right use of prejudice of human tendencies towards ignorance. The benefits of oversimplification is personal clarity. By identifying and rejecting an ignorant attitude in the most dismissive and efficient way possible I not only invite clarity but strength coats that clarity like a warm blanket. If one stripped Gwen Stefani's video of its entire historical context then the structure is clearly seen. She was in a strange situation was willing to immediately and cleverly discover the bad attitudes of her old "family" "How did they ask goodbye?" It implies "how did they lead a damaged kid to have a bad attitude about me." The genius of her friend is she discovered her friend's genius "underneath it all" and got an instant insight into their character and an edge of strength helped by Jesus himself. Anger for positive outcome was a tell that her way forward was blessed in so may angles. Not just me and not just Jesus. The other wisdom is if you block everyones delusions then people see their need of others more clearly. I did this too with Marilyn Manson. "They call her bulldozer speech demon without distractions of hope" with the beautiful nihilistic meaningful anthem "There's the ones that you love the ones that love you. The ones that make you cum. The ones that make you come unglued." I like to think Marilyn Manson took generational curses out of context and saw them in the normal context and saw that as adults these things aren't means to an ends, but worthwhile passionate living for the sake of living because thats what I was going through at the time. Every crazy has a clue to what's normal no matter what crazy youre going through as long as not trying to make everything mean something. Like Jerry Seinfeld said recently "Once upon a time you got ripped thats the story." If things aren't normal then they're fucked up. Don't overcomplicate what "it all means." A normal mind is the most powerful mind there is because it's the most reliable one there is. A mind that focuses on success is reliable. A mind focused on acceptance is unreliable. Its that simple. As far as writing and literature a normal mind knows the difference between him or herself and the characters and can have insight into the characters thoughts feelings and motivations and can learn to write great literature from his or her own experience by using their own context as strange as their own context might be like the "What you waiting For" video that I enjoy watching in spite of some of the strange suggestive spiritual dirt in the video because it had a positive historical context and a personal bravery of the artist to overcome her problems. Incidentally, humanizing the stupidity of external judgemental voices immediately silenced the noise because she took ownership of her own journey and didn't try to save people who didn't want to be saved while also knowing the difference of who's on her side and who wasn't. One interesting line regarding the smugness of specialness in cults she gave a sharp reprimand "You know it all by heart why are you standing in one place" that seems to cite the uselesness of knowledge that people use to be complacent and not help themselves first of all, and that knowing something and feeling depressed doesn't make you fit to tell others what to do. She discredited spiritual government in that one sentence. The power of that was that nature kept them in check and not anything they do ir anything they know. A powerful song. All history has dirt to go with it. But you won't know the difference if you don't have the courage to own your own experiences and live your own life. The way some spiritual gurus tend to baby other people has been laughable.
