The joy of being pure and innocent.

[neonspectraltoast]

It's not something you can really explain to most other people. It's just such a peaceful, tranquil feeling.

I don't know what it's like not to be holy, but it seems like a drag. All I know is that being innocent and pure is fantastic.

Great thread, neonspectraltoast

Made me think of one of my favorite poems by Anne Sexton:

That's not really what I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about being pure and innocent.

That's not really what I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about being pure and innocent.

neonspectraltoast She strived for it all of her life. Sadly, mental illness prevented it from happening. But at least she tried... most people are satisfied dreaming about owning a Mercedes Benz - Anne Sexton dreamed about playing poker with God.

[neonspectraltoast]

Yeah, she was terrific.

That's not really what I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about being pure and innocent.

can you describe more specifically what constitutes as "pure and innocent" ?

i get an impression of what you mean, but i'm interested in how you'd describe it, if you can. if not, i'll ponder my impression. i'll probably do that anyway.

[neonspectraltoast]

I'm too perfect to spend time describing it. It is a nice feeling, though, to know deep down in your soul that you're not an asshole, but everyone else is.

[mallyboppa]

If you consider others Assholes , Then you are far from Pure and innocent !
I would say Jaded and cynical to be more apt

[neonspectraltoast]

Well you wouldn't know the first thing about it, would you? Just because I'm smart enough to see that you're an asshole doesn't mean I'm not completely innocent myself. You are an asshole. A fucking asshole. You're all fucking assholes. So don't talk to me.

[neonspectraltoast]

Seriously, if some lascivious smarmy old fucks want to come in here to tell me I'm not innocent, which I am, fuck off before you get started, sleazebags.

I'm pure. I'm holy. It's not my fault you threw your lives in the trash.

[neonspectraltoast]

All you want to do is come in here and cast stones. Which is exactly my point. I'm innocent. You're assholes.

[mallyboppa]

Ever hear the old saying "It takes one to Know one" ? If all you see is Arseholes then by the same Token you must be the Biggest Arsehole Here !

[neonspectraltoast]

All a lion sees when it sees a human is meat. Is a lion guilty of sin? I am innocent, like a puzzled panther. But that doesn't mean I'm a dullard unfamiliar with these terms. You guys ostracize me, neglect me, walk all over me, reject me, gaslight me, use me, and downright abuse me, and I call a spade a spade. You're assholes. It's not me, it's really not. It's you.

[neonspectraltoast]

And you don't know the first thing about it, so shut the fuck up.

[mallyboppa]

True You are the Arsehole Expert here !
Not gonna "Shut the fuck up " though cos I like you and I am trying to help

[neonspectraltoast]

How is contradicting what I know about myself helping me? I'm a fucking virgin, dude. I am innocent and pure. Untainted.

[mallyboppa]

Not Contradicting you at all Buddy I am agreeing with you
you do know more about being an arsehole than anyone else I know (certainly on here ! )

[neonspectraltoast]

Anybody else want to comment in MY thread about ME and MY INNOCENCE? Fuck off.

[mallyboppa]

[neonspectraltoast]

Women naturally hate innocence.

[neonspectraltoast]

In a man, I mean.

[neonspectraltoast]

Oh, fuck. You guys know what I'm saying.

It's true, too. We all know it. So don't play innocent. Only I am innocent.
