Ever wondered what happened to the dinosaurs?
Pretend for a minute, that on your way to let's say Walking Street and you saw a group of dinosaurs huddled on the beach reenacting "2 Girls One Cup. " All they did was poo every where and passed it around to each other mouth by mouth. For most of us, seeing these drongos share their own crap for a meal, is first vomit, ignore, and then walk across the street to avoid. But that's for those who fear, believe in live and let live, and want to avoid conflict, which is not always the better thing to do. For others who want the world a better place, an "attempted" correction is always in order. You can do it in one of two ways. Let's take a look at the first approach which is mild and smooth. I like this method when I'm short on time and don't want to waste too much of it. I call this the Mr. E 2 DaPoint approach. Just tell them "Yo, eating kaka is no good for you. It is gross and will make you sick. Food is the way it's supposed to work and 7-11 has plenty of it. " Very straight forward, cuts to the chase, offers simple obvious facts to prove a point, and even suggests a solution. But these are dinosaurs, who could care less, and they just growl back Grrrr!
So another way of dealing with them is a bit more sophisticated, and requires a bit of time and savviness. I like to call this, the Blanq Slate approach. Talk to them as if they don't know any better, perhaps know nothing at all. Even if it means you have to use examples, analogies, metaphors, or simple nursery rhymes to show them the errs of their way and of course, with "some reasoning. " But this only works if they were able to evolve. I often attempt this approach as well, but realize quickly, that I am working at levels beyond their understanding. Just because we share one Earth, doesn't mean we come from the same world. Not all the doorways that life has to offer can be opened by every just because it can breathe. Breathing does not equate to life. Think about that. Anyways, dinosaurs are what they are, because they refuse change and did not adapt. They are mindless, weak spirited, and truth, logic, and reality means little to them. So relax in knowing, without them, there is no you. All one has to do is throw in some condescending humor with the Blanq Slate approach, it shows that you are serious about them being entertainment for all to enjoy.
Then there, of course, is the Monkeypaw way of doing things. Buy them food, maybe some chocolate Fuddy Buddy bars, because Monkeypaw thinks talk is very cheap. Then throw it at them like ping pong balls at Go Go bar. The dinosaurs either get happy or mad, thankful or ungrateful, but eventually one or more amongst them, will pick up the message being sent. They have a single purpose in life, which is to eventually disappear, and nobody will ever know why. So for the time being, it is just entertainment because of their mindlessness. The less brain, the easier it is to lose control of emotions, and the reactions become apparent. Think of it as if you just said, without yelling, to a crowd, in a normal behind the keyboard voice, "Hey dumbass," but it wasn't directed to anyone specific. So what does it say about any of the folks who react, turn around, or reply back, "Where you talking to me?" It means you got one, that inner spirit of theirs knows it's being talked to, and wants to come out. Control their emotions, control their actions. Learn to do that and you will get to play them like pieces on a chess board.
