Justifiable Paranoia?

Recommended Posts

Is there such a thing as "Justifiable Paranoia"?
I mean, if I realize that every word I say is heard by someone, and gossip occurs, is that enough justification for me to think everyone is watching?
And another point, why are we so chicken that we need aliases? My nickname CrazyThomas comes from my friends in another state. They know me, and they think what I do is crazy.
An explanation in itself.
Would it offend you if I called you gay? It wouldn't offend me if you called me bisexual.
My best retort to all the judges, is:
"It takes one to know one."
So, call me what you want to admit yourself.
Who said I was heterosexual? Who said I was homosexual? Who said I was bisexual. Wait, I did.
I don't care. Sex is just a physical act. For me, life is more about who I care for, and who cares for me.
I have many friends. Some black, some white, some gay, some heterosexual, some women, and some men. Did I miss any groups that feel underrepresented?
The main thing I share in common with my friends is we are courageous enough to admit who we are. without all the bullshit of hiding.
Why hide who you really are? Are you embarrased, or scared to admit who you are?
Afraid to face judgement?
Peace,
Thomas

There is such a thing as "Justifiable Paranoia".

For example, if I was a murderer I would be afraid to face judgement and for good reason. I might even be paranoid about people finding out. Even if I didn't think it was wrong it would be foolish not to hide it because of repercussions. Perhaps in this case discretion really is the better part of courage? Or is it?

Judges will be judged according to that which they have judged others. Yet, when I read from the law, "thou shalt not murder" and judge my fellow man for the crime am I or the law liable for the judgement?

A salute is just a physical act as well, but what it represents is not physical. Honor, deference, respect. Even so, I know you will say that it is only because we create the meaning. Truly, but do we create human nature or does it create us?

Perhaps if one is afraid to face judgement there is a deeper problem at work. Shame originates from ones own heart. Ultimately, one has only himself to blame for it--despite societies' pressures. If one has no shame proclaiming what he thinks is right, let him. At least then he would be sincere. Of course, who ever heard of an insincere heretic? What I wonder is whether or not one is culpable for ignorance or not.

Still, I will give you this CrazyThomas. In the end, no one can possibly live up to the law perfectly. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" right? Then let the law be the judge. Therefore, don't judge me just because I point to it--for it points right back.
