I spoke to a couple people the other day, friends of a long time friend of mine, who belong to a fairly large artist group, comprising of about a couple hundred members, mostly into fantasy art and design. We got to talking about websites for artists and they said the group was looking for a website where they all could join and still be able to stay connected or closely knit. For a split second, I thought about Elftown and how it would have been perfect for what they were looking for. But then, I bit my tongue and told them I didn't know of any such site. I can't recommend a site where my name is being slandered and my art is being stolen from me, now can I? ..And yes, denying me access to MY work, is the same as "stealing" it. I'm sure these artists wouldn't appreciate having their work kept from them, as mine has and is from me.

..And then, the owner isn't even mature enough to communicate with someone if they go to him with a concern. I know this first hand, because I went to him first, hoping to talk to him to resolve the situation before it could even get out of hand. Then because of his failure and unwillingness to respond, I wound up going to another for answers, only to find out later, she already had it on her agenda to get rid of me. But yet, all the blame for everything is being cast on me, when the real blame belongs squarely with these two individuals. But... that's the honourable and decent way to do things, you know? Don't accept accountability, but instead, project one's own guilt onto another! THIS is commendable, isn't it? *rolls eyes*

Most mature and intelligent people learn and so, know how to negotiate and work through issues, especially one in the top position should anyway! They don't stick their head in the sand and then expect others to fix their problems for them, especially when they're the cause of problems in the first place!

There's just too much immaturity along with a complete lack of professionalism and this group of artists is a serious group. Oh well, too bad! Hedda could have easily had a couple hundred more members.

I can remember a day when I would have jumped at the chance to plug and brag about this wonderful site I belonged to. Yeah! Not!! :( But these days are long gone I'm afraid. One can't have their cake and eat it too! When you treat someone like shit? Expect shit in return. ...And all the perfume in the world ain't going to alter the shit upon it's return either. If anything, when it returns, it's liable to be more foul smelling when it's sent back to the one who dished it out. lol

But I did say to them that if they happened to find a great site, where I could upload my art to, without having it taken from me, to please let me know. :)

Afterward, my friend and I were talking and she said, "I thought you belonged to some great site? You used to talk about it all the time."

I told her that I did belong to a website that I talked about a lot, that I practically lived on, even worked on it in my dreams for heaven's sake, even donated over $1000.00 to it mostly (because some, for 3 members, was donated to Elfpack), not to mention the years of work, effort, and time I spent on it and another, owned by the same person. Plus, I uploaded to the site at least 10,000 pieces of my art work, plus over 300 poems, plus a number of other written works. But now, the owner has banned me and won't allow me to have the thousands of my works and the banner is all over the Internet saying that I'm a liar, that I make up conspiracy theories and that I harass members and I showed it to her. She was flabbergasted.

"Oh my God!" she said. "What brought all of this on?"

So then I told her from the beginning about how the weird shit was happening on the site, but no one else was experiencing the things that I was and so I went to the owner, but he wouldn't respond. Then I went to the vice mayor hoping to get some kind of help, only to have her put down the owner to me (showed her the MSN conversation), and then how everything just escalated out of control and that everyone on the site that was in a position to help, wouldn't because they were loyal to the vice mayor and then I showed her the conversations that took place between the vice mayor and another person way before I went to her for help and my friend couldn't get over how someone could be so petty and jealous and still pretend to be my friend while stabbing me in the back. But not only me, but with the site owner as well.

We spent a number of hours talking about it and I showed her everything from the private forum where the crew was trashing me to all the degrading and insulting comments on various wiki-pages, particularly on my Love For A Community page (with the harassing comments from the vice mayor and a guard) and where I was goaded by the recently retired vice mayor on the ECM Conference page. I showed her private messages I had gotten from the owner (including the threatening ones) and crew members, plus guestbook messages and the many diaries where I was trashed in.

..And I also showed her my secret diaries and then some diaries and guestbooks where somehow the authors of seemed to have been told what had been written in my private diaries. She asked me how these other members had gotten a hold of what I had written in my private diaries and I said the only person who has access to a member's secret, private diaries, is the owner/operator of the server through its database.

She said then that he's reading private diaries and then telling others what's in them. "That is so wrong! He's misleading the members into thinking they're writing something private and he's reading it and sharing their private diaries! He has the nerve to accuse you of lying? He's lying to every member of his site!"

I also showed her the nasty emails I received from the owner and I told her about the little red heart incident in my badge slot, as I also showed her the screengrabs I took that show how the heart appeared in my badge slot when the owner delivered a badge and then I showed her his message where he denied doing it and said I had done it. But then how the recently retired vice mayor claimed she did, which conflicts with what the owner said (showed her three examples of the false claiming). ..And I also told her I had people at my house even and witnessed the incident, but yet, I was accused of lying about it and other crew members told me that I should knock off my crap and that if the vice mayor said she put it in there, then she did. They expected me to believe something I KNEW was not true.

I showed her my collection of the "Calls to myself", as I also showed her from my saved info, the wiki-page about this very same AND all the comments made on it. She couldn't believe as she said, "the pure ignorance and callousness" demonstrated in the comments. She said the topic on the page was clearly deliberately avoided and she felt that between this page and my LFAC page, it definitely looked like people were working together in a cover up because the data on the Calls To Myself page, most definitely implicates the site owner. When I showed her that the owner made the page so it can't be viewed by the public, she said what I've said all along, that only a guilty person conceals evidence.

I showed her lots and lots of goodies, including how when I invited a member, I was given credit. Then right after the member I invited made a comment in my defense on my LFAC page, my credit was removed. I showed her how a crew member accused me of lying about inviting a member and then I showed her the invite email proving I had.

I showed her how the owner accused me of chasing away the original mod of another site, Elf12, and then I showed her that the mod said it wasn't true. In fact, the original is the one who asked me to be the mod of Elf12. I showed her the owner said that every crew member on Elf12, past and present, which would include the original mod, had gone to him, begging him to get rid of me from Elf12 and then I showed her a slew of messages from those I asked if this was true, which they all said it wasn't. I showed her the email from the owner where he stated at the very end, that I could do with Elf12 as I saw fit because he didn't have anything to do with it, and then I showed her what he did on Dec. 20th, in Elf12's news, totally publicly humiliated me.

While we were on the subject of the "Calls To Myself", I showed her comments made by a former vice mayor, before the most recent former vice mayor, that "directly" correlate with Calls To Myself. The timing between the calls and the comments match perfectly. They took place during the three weeks of my first time banned. In fact, these Calls To Myself were the only ones I got during the three week period. She said that it definitely appears that the owner isn't the only person involved with the Calls To Myself.

I showed her so much stuff! I showed her the email the site owner sent to Hans slamming me and told her how not long after this, Hans' email account got 'somehow' deleted. ..And I showed her how the owner played with the Valentine art page, when I gave Hans the credit for requesting a love song on the After Midnite show. But when I showed her the sequence of events that took place on August 25, 2011, she said with everything else you've showed me, the owner banned you because he was jealous of what Hans wrote in your site's guestbook. It's way too obvious to be a coincidence.

Then I also showed her how what I do on my computer and the things I experience particularly when I talk about this very topic and the log of data I have of my phone conversations and what transpires because of this topic of conversation and she was completely mortified that a person could be so obsessed to go to such extremes to keep tabs on another person.

Needless to say, I showed her a heck of a lot of data, including the date, time, temperature gadget that was placed on my desktop for Linkoping, Ostergotland, Sweden. She said, "My God! This is like a horror show! I don't know how you've been able to cope with this. Just from what I've seen, makes me cringe. Then to have other people gang up on you and belittle you besides, is horrible by itself. All those who are accusing you of being crazy are the ones who are either completely bonkers or stupid then, because you certainly have more than enough to prove your case. It's very clear they are all in it together to try to keep you quiet. To continually tell you to let it go, that's what they're hoping so they'll be let off the hook. I can sure see why you didn't suggest this site!"

I must say, it felt good to actually show someone willing to listen and see what I have and just by what I've saved and documented, shows that this whole mess isn't all my fault as others have tried so damn hard to make me believe.

Boy, some people have such a boring life, with nothing better to do than going around and logging in "as other members"! Pathetic!

The "actual" active members' status is a bit tough to swallow, eh?

"Where There Is Love..."

Where there is love, there is life. Where there is love, there is sight. Where there is love, there is hope. Where there is love, there is light. Where there is love, there is kindness. Where there is love, there is caring. Where there is love, there is giving. Where there is love, there is sharing. Where there is love, there is truth. Where there is love, there is feeling. Where there is love, there is heart. Where there is love, there is healing. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is love, there is forgiving. Where there is love, there is joy. Where there is love, there is living!

#BeInformed!

Parents, this could be important for you and your kids' safety, if you are UNAWARE that your children can be "tracked" and their "exact location" traced through the pictures they take with their phone and then upload them to the Internet. Watch this video to learn how to keep their "location" from falling into the WRONG hands!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2vARzvWxwY#at=178

As far as this "following the chain of command" is concerned?

When I began suspecting strange things I was experiencing on elftown.eu "I" did exactly this. I went to the person who I suspected was behind the incidents, the person at the top of the "chain of command". Do you want to know "where" exactly THIS got me?

Since he refused to respond, at least in what most would perceive as a 'normal' way, "I" therefore went to the one who was second in command, who was "supposedly" his friend, and but, little did I know when I did, that she had had it already on her agenda to get rid of me off the site and for about a year prior, as she also KNEW that the site owner had some sort of interest in me, which she chose not to disclose to me, and so, instead of helping me much as I was hoping, she played it cool on the site, but then she suggested we take our conversations off the site, at which time her whole demeanor changed, basically trying to convince me to think negatively towards the owner, all except the "strange, non-fitting, interjected part", which was in the site owner's favour and totally contradictory of all the rest she said to me. (In regards to the word "friend", my dictionary must need to be revised!) ..And since she KNEW he was harbouring an interest in me, why did she deliberately try to sabotage it? ..And especially since he and her were "supposedly" friends? Don't 'real' friends want to see their friends happy or at least, support them if they have a chance to be?

So, basically and as is apparent through much data I've gathered, been provided, collected and documented since, all I did was give the owner a heads up about my suspicions, so he would then be able to devise a plan to shut me up and if I wouldn't, then put in motion maneuvers that would ultimately put the person seeking my removal and myself at direct odds with each other, knowing that those who ran the site would all be loyal to her and would therefore rally against me, which pretty much solved his dilemma of having to worry about his secret activity becoming known. ...And if it was made known, well he had secured a clever method to keep others from taking me seriously.

Meanwhile, he continues to get away with his wrongdoing and my objections to it fall on apathetic, deaf ears. So do "I" think "following the chain of command" was the right path or strategy to follow? Apparently not. I'm left with being ostracized, ridiculed, my name and reputation slandered, my creative works stolen from me, etc. and still being subjected to having my privacy invaded.

..And the irony of it all, is that I went to the owner for the sole purpose of him and I discussing it to avert any future problems with him because I admired him tremendously and I loved his sites beyond being describable, to keep it between him and I, because I didn't see a need to involve others when the strange occurrences were pointing in his direction. I also was hoping that I was mistaken about my suspicions, because if for no other reason, my admiration and high regard I had for him. When I first addressed him, I did also suspect that he 'may' have had an interest in me and this 'may' have been why things were happening, but I couldn't really fathom in my mind why he would BE interested. In me? What for? I'm nothing special. Besides, he likes to portray himself as a playboy type.

But since I got nowhere with him and then went to the second in command, why wasn't "she" honest with me, since she KNEW what was going on with him? If she had been honest with me with what she knew, THIS would have afforded me the opportunity to understand him, which is what I wanted the chance to do! But instead of telling me the truth, she deliberately tried to get me to not like him. ..And when I told her that I would please, like, and agree with WHO I wanted to, she took offense.

..And the irony of this too? Her intended mission only made me feel the need to be defensive in his favour! ..And this ultimately would add to my emotional distress as time went on, because instead of turning away from him, I decided to try and get to know him better and even though it was becoming more and more evident of what he was up to. This put me on an emotional roller coaster, trying to cope with two very opposite emotions: on one hand I was becoming very fond of him and on the other, I was frustrated with having my privacy invaded. ..And I made up in my mind one excuse after another for him, trying to rationalize what he was doing and why he was. ..And the mixed signals just frustrated me to no end. Behind the scenes, he showed signs of caring about me, but then out in the open in front of others, he humiliated me, was belligerent and heartless, kinda' like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

So this left me always trying to figure out with him what was supposed to be real and what wasn't in regards to him. When he would accept my friendship on CatHug but not on Elftown, this showed me that there was a reason. On CatHug, there weren't many active users and she was one of the inactive ones. But on Elftown, there were people who, it was very apparent, wouldn't like it if he were to show any interest in me publicly. When he did give me a compliment, one way or another I was made to regret it by another or others. ..And you can't get much more obvious than quitting your position within an hour after he and I became friends on CatHug. But then, the question is, how did she even find out? The only two who were and had been active on CatHug were he and I. So the only two who knew, were he and I. I certainly didn't tell her. So who did? ..And why?

When he added the little, red heart in my badge slot, I kept quiet about it, except I acknowledged it in my secret diary to him. But then, as more and more sh** hit the fan, and since I still wasn't sure what to think in regards to him, and since I wasn't sure either as to why he did the heart thingy either for I could only surmise, I decided to bring notice to it. #1: I wanted to know "why" he did and #2: I thought it would be the perfect way to gently allow others to know the truth because putting a little, red heart in my badge slot really was an awesome gesture and I wanted the community to not see him as a monster. Those who ostracized and ridiculed me, I didn't care so much what they thought because it was clear to me what they thought in regards to me anyway. It was the community as a whole that I wanted to look up to and respect him.

But still, I wasn't absolutely sure as to "why" he did. ..And I was thinking that perhaps, I was making more out of it than he intended, even though he did put it there the day after Valentine's Day. ..And remember, I'm trying to figure him out still. It's so often said that women are difficult to read and/or understand. Well, news flash, some men are IMPOSSIBLE!!!

So I knew that if I brought notice to it and he simply said that he thought that a heart was supposed to go there, well then, that would have been all there was to it and that I had had an incorrect notion as to the why. ..And I probably would have felt rather embarrassed for thinking this way. But... he didn't say this. Instead he denied doing it at all. If he had just put it there because he thought it belonged there next, he would have felt no need to deny doing it. So when he denied it, this is when he gave himself away. Not only this, when he banned me the first round, he removed "that very same heart", NO other ones. JUST THE ONE he placed in there. ..And this then validated additionally, not only did he put it in there, but also that he was pissed off at me for considering leaving the site and the story he concocted and told the crew that I was going to run amok and delete and destroy my stuff, was nothing more than a cover for what he was really thinking/feeling. ..And instigating the crew to steal my Dreamers' Contest, well this was just another chance to drive a dagger through my heart. He was hurt and so, he was going to make me feel the hurt feelings he was feeling. ...And it worked! "One can only be hurt as deep as they care and/or love." (One of my quotes)

I know many people, likely him included, think I'm on a mission to expose the truth to be harmful. But this is not really the case at all. I've been placed in a position where I have no choice but to defend myself, my self respect, and my integrity and I'm not a person that takes such lightly. I've clawed my way through life a number of times. I've had to learn some tough lessons and tough lessons one doesn't soon forget. Therefore, I've earned my integrity and I won't simply allow anyone to try and take it away from me, not even one I care about deeply. If I don't have and show respect for myself, I certainly can't expect others to respect me either. Besides, if another cares about another, they don't try to strip another of their integrity, their dignity. ..And it's not like I haven't made appeals to him, because I have, a number of times, including when I first went to him. I can offer until the cows come home, but if he chooses to be stubborn and bullheaded, I certainly can't force him to tell me the truth. ..And I'm not one to try and force anyone to doing anything. They have to do it on their own accord. But then, that person also has to realise that their action or inaction may precipitate the other or another person to do what they have to, too, as a result of their own choice(s).

The truth is all I have and what I seek to counteract what I stand accused of and it is also my weapon of choice, if I must use one. The truth will never steer one in the wrong direction, but lies will. The truth is the only way to lead one out of, to free one from, a web and entrapment of lies. Yes, it has made me a very unpopular person at times, but in the end, I don't have to worry about what's going to come from behind and bite me in the behind either. ..And when one cares about another, they don't like to see another they care about, caught up in a web of lies and so, will offer such a person a way out, and this is what I have offered to do. But offer is all I can do. The ultimate choice is his.

Hehe Columbo here.. lol One more thing... Just want to say there's a lot more to a person than their 'social skills'. I've known many well-spoken people who aren't worth the smooth talk they spew. Very intelligent people are very often complicated and difficult. Steve Jobs comes to mind. He was known to be belligerent, arrogant, and a bit self centered, but oh, what a mind!!! What a mind!!! We all have pluses and minuses for sure. :)

Kudos to Adam Jones/ @AtheistAdam, an "Anti-sheeple" person for sure... <3

Adam's status: "While praising US President Barack Obama’s Friday surveillance reforms as a "victory of sorts for Edward Snowden," WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange delivered a written blow to the administration for its “hypocritical” treatment of the subject."

His post: https://www.facebook.com/AdamLandonJones/posts/10153122884100534

Some say that a person or people from other countries ought to not voice their thoughts and opinions about America. But it does seem that many of those from foreign lands have a much better and clearer view about America's backsliding than MANY Americans! ..And this is very often the case because those outside the loop can often see things with a more clear and better perspective.

"One cannot know the intensity of the storm when they're within the 'eye' of it." ~ Artsieladie #Quotes

But my hat's off to Adam. You are SPOT ON! I wish more American People would see things as clearly and intelligently as you do! ...And I just have to share what you wrote in comments to others' comments on your status post:

"You don't like Snowden for doing what exactly? Revealing that your government has been breaking the constitution (which is illegal) and pushing for a public debate about the dangers and merits of complete surveillance, private phone calls and all?

Have you bothered to explore what these guys have to say? I have. Have you? Before you make up your mind about whether they are worth of the "media buzz" I think you should put your thinking cap on. Firstly, Obama stated that he doesn't consider Snowden a patriot because, in Obama's opinion, he should have gone through the "appropriate legal channels". Well, you listen to Mr. Snowden and you make your OWN assessment about whether or not that was an option on the table for him. Do you REALLY think that a guy with a big enough brain to be in the CIA would give up his future for something that he could have confronted by going through the "appropriate" channels? Seriously? Come on man.

As for Assange, have you bothered to listen and explore his work? I have. He's also a guy worthy of a LOT more media attention. He's not a spy. He's a guy who made it possible for whistleblowers to blow the whistle. Most consider that to be the GOAL of a decent journalist. People living in FREE societies should be thankful for people who are willing to risk everything to bring the TRUTH to the people. Without truth people are deluded. You can only work with the knowledge you have. A more informed public = better decisions.

Which oath exactly? The oath to serve the people? The oath to keep secrets that could be dangerous for the future of your nation? "Turnkey tyranny" is the phrase Snowden used to describe the NSA surveillance program. You may have trust in your president, but what happens when the next guy gets in with the same power. Do you REALLY want to give up your entire privacy for the sake of national security? Is it REALLY going to make YOU safer and at what price? What happens when activists start being labeled as terrorists? Think.

He didn't CHOOSE Russia. He was forced to stop in Russia when his passport was revoked. "Peddle his stolen material"??? Are you serious? He told the American people. He could have made a FORTUNE selling this classified material to countries like China and Russia. You're totally misguided if you honestly think that is his motivation. It demonstrates to me that you really haven't bothered to explore the facts... and yet you're willing to state an opinion. Which station does your opinion come from? You know, that's one of the problems with people around the world. There's too many people with an opinion and not enough people with an EDUCATED opinion. Research. Learn. Study. Explore. You have the friggin internet at your fingertips. Don't' be lazy. If you don't have the facts then stay out of it. The time for using ignorance as an excuse is coming to an end. People deserve and will soon expect a higher level of debate.

It's ok. Enough people reacted to make Obama react. It's something. Just wish Americans cared more about what USED to be something that others ENVIED about America. The country is going bankrupt in every sense of the word. Financially & morally. Such a shame.

The media has spent just as much time talking about the wrong-doing of Snowden as they have about the HUGE implications of the revelations... and yet the people not only tolerate it but SUPPORT the position of the media. Seriously lost. Human stupidity is reaching an all time low.

Unless America gets it's act together and Obama smartens up then I think some people would PREFER to live in a different country. America is going down. The people need to remember what has made America great in the past... instead of just watching the ship sink. The people need to wake up QUICK.

I encourage you to explore these interviews before declaring him an enemy of the people:
WikiLeaks World Tomorrow
http://worldtomorrow.wikileaks.org/
““The World Tomorrow” is a dynamic new television discussion series featuring Julian Assange as host. It is a collection of twelve interviews featuring an eclectic range of guests, who are stamping their mark on the future: politicians, revolutionaries, intellectuals, artists and visionaries. The sho...”

I'll say it again. Do you REALLY think that he had another way of breaking the news? I don't. He did what he had to do. I would like to think that I would have had the courage to do the same... but I doubt it."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People cry foul about losing their rights, but yet when a person has the guts to stand up and defend them and is willing to take risks in the process so The American People can know what they are losing, many Americans turn their backs on such a person and continue to allow themselves to be suckered in by the corrupt politicians who are only interested in serving their own agenda, and the big businesses to keep their greedy pockets lined. Meanwhile, the people are made to do with less and less and required and expected to pay out more and more.

As far as Snowden... Suppose Snowden HAD followed the "chain of command"; once it made its way up to the top, does anyone honestly think that those at the top would have said, "Okay, Snowden, we'll clean up our act and stop keeping our secret agenda from the American People?" <-- *rolls eyes"

Our government officials have pledged and have sworn oaths to the American People. Are THEY "upholding" THEIR oaths? Or.. doesn't THIS matter? If someone knows of corruption and wrongdoing being carried out, they should be more loyal to the system than to speaking up about it? ..And so, it's right to appease a few elite at the expense of ALL the rest? That we, the People, should just also turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to our corrupt government and just ALLOW the crooks to continue onward, business as usual? Is this what so many people want or expect?

The REAL traitors ARE those who have SWORN to "serve the BEST interests of The People" and are NOT doing "as they have sworn to do"! Also, now that Manning has been convicted, when are trials going to start to "convict" those GUILTY of their war crimes against humanity? I'm betting those GUILTY of such will go "unpunished".

Mainstream media is nothing more than a "front" to make The People "think" they are being informed, when in actuality, mainstream media is feeding into and focusing on things that "divide" The People, namely focusing on their differences, because if The People were to ever set aside their differences, The People would then clearly see what UNITES them and if The People were to ALL become a UNITED FORCE, the zealots would stand a snowball's chance in hell against the "UNITED PEOPLE". There's strength in numbers, but ONLY when the "numbers unite"! As long as The People remain divided, then The People can and will be "conquered". ..And relying on mainstream media is like reading a newspaper with all the most primary and important articles ripped out.

The majority just want to stay in their "bubbles", nicely complacent and totally oblivious to what's happening in the world around them ..And the self serving zealots are not only "banking" (<-- pun intended) on this, but are actually "thriving" on this and are making steady progress with achieving their goal of ultimately controlling and enslaving The People. ..And still, The People, the majority of, remain 'oblivious, complacent, and asleep'.

We, the American People, are being squeezed and backed into a corner, and if we, the American People, don't wake the hell up and SOON, there's NOT going to BE a way out! We, the People, NEED to and MUST get our priorities straight and FOCUS, focus on "UNITY of the People", focus on our ONE common mission of expelling all those sitting on their thrones, serving their own greedy and selfish agendas, demand to maintain a good moral compass and not allow our differences to come between us.

Shared by Carolyn Flanagan: "Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Obedience is doing what you're told, regardless of what is right." <-- When we are forced to choose "between" what is morally right and obeying a "corrupt and self serving authority", there should NOT be ANY question in ANYONE'S mind as to "which" choice to make, because if there is, then I think society has a whole needs to re-access and alter such a direction humanity is seemingly tragically heading towards. The negative elements are surpassing the positive elements and this can only lead to destruction and catastrophe for the human heart and soul.

"Love UNITES! Hate DIVIDES!" ~ Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly #Quotes
All the positive aspects under the "umbrella of love": caring, kindness, empathy, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, truth, humility, selflessness, etc. UNITE People. While all the negative aspects under the "umbrella of hatred": apathy, lies, deceit, greed, ego fed pride, grudges, intolerance, selfishness, indifference to others and how they can be affected by careless and selfish actions, ignorance, arrogance, etc. DIVIDE People.

We need more "anti-sheeples", less "sheeples", and ZERO self serving zealots!!!! <3 Namasté

I just have to repeat this made in a comment on a post I'm tagged in on Facebook:

Carolyn Flanagan: "Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Obedience is doing what you're told, regardless of what is right."

So, the question is: Do you choose to do what is morally right, even if you have to be in defiance of obedience? Or... do you choose to be obedient even though you know what's being asked of you is morally wrong?

Since I am one who is guided by my conscience and therefore, I have to live with myself and my conscience, I would choose what is morally right over obedience if I knew what was expected of me or being asked of me was morally wrong. In fact, the real reason why I'm being subjected and ostracized currently, is because I REFUSE to be "obedient" to "immoral and unethical behaviour/activity". But.. at least, my dignity and my integrity is still in place, which is more than can be said for those who are being such "good little minions"! :)

What group do YOU fit in: "Anti-sheeple", "Sheeple", or "Zealot"?

It's the lack of willingness to see and confess." ~ Artsieladie #Quotes

"Truly Supportive"

If I support you among your friends,
I will support you amidst your foes.
If I share in your happiness,
I will share in your woes.
A friend who supports in private,
But reneges when there's a crowd,
Is really not a friend
For which to be proud.
A true friend is consistent
And shall stand their ground,
No matter if alone with you
Or with others all around.
