'In All Honesty' They Say -- and Could They Make It Any Clearer That They Weren't 100 Percent True in the First Place?

When someone says, 'in all honesty' -- what are they really saying? Is it akin, to saying -- 'I'll be perfectly frank, with you'? And is being 'perfectly frank', any better, than 'perfectly honest'?

When someone says that type of 'clarifying' remark to you, what do you usually reply (that is, if anyone has ever made that remark to you)? If no one has ever stated, 'in all honesty' to you -- then, I guess that no one has had the need, to acknowledge a gray-area, when it comes to an obvious integrity/honesty.

What do you think, when you hear them 'clarify' their silly declaration of 'perfect honesty'? Would you say to someone so silly, that 'to be perfectly honest with you -- it's pretty obvious, that your complete and 'perfect' declaration, actually, just made obvious, your lack of sincerity and genuineness, by making me think, why you would have to declare being 'perfectly honest' in the first place?

It's funny, how people can try to make you feel secure about their integrity, simultaneously, throwing the faith out the window, with a silly saying, that takes away, from their 100 percent genuineness. Do you also, see the irony?

Soft or Booming Voice -- What's Your Perspective?

Some people are very emotionally expressive; while others (of course), are more reserved, when it comes to expressing their emotions or feelings.

Is it easy for you, to say what's on your mind -- because, that's what comes naturally for you? And, if so, have you also given some thought to how your voice backs-up your capacity to vocalize and be heard, when expressing your thoughts, feelings, and emotions?

Do you have a booming-voice? One that gives you an extra boost of power, to project your expresions? And how well do you believe, that others perceive and take your voice, as being? Have you ever been told, that you have a good telephone voice? And, how do you like your voice, as well?

Have you ever been told, that you are a loud mouth? Or, have you ever been told, that you speak too softly?

The plus of having a booming voice, is that it helps in getting noticed and heard. It can add power to personality. Do you not agree?

If you have a soft voice, are you happy that no one has ever deemed you as being a loud mouth because of it?

Having a soft voice, can a so be a good thing. Which, would you rather have? A soft vouce; or, a loud voice? And what has your experience been, with the type of voice, that you have?

The Irony of Complaining About Complainers

Do you always try to see something positive, out of negative situations? Do you surround yourself with people who are uplifting and positive, as well? Or -- are you with a crowd, that tends to complain; but, somehow, they make everything seem brighter, by a connection of sympathetic, mutual, misery?

There are a lot of pluses to complaining. Venting, and establishing an accord by a sympathetic  'I feel you' -- can really make a difference, from a release and knowing that there is someone else, who is going through the same thing as another person.

However -- When occasional complaining, turns into chronic whining -- it can become non-productive and useless. 

How do you deal with chronic complainers? It would be ironic, to complain about them. Would it not? (Sometimes, people do complain about complaining; but, I am not necessarily complaining about it.) (lol...) 

Can You Relate to Fred Flintstone With the Affectionate Dino?

Does your cat or dog, playfully and persistently attack you with affection when you come home from work? Is the joy of your return and love for you, so much, that it makes you (both) act like the cartoon characters Fred Flintstone, with his beloved Dino?

Do you have a favorite activity, that you do with your pet, that is an expected and affectionately fun routine, when you get home from work? 

Do you know that your pet very-much loves you; as well as, does your pet know that his or her human, has an ample amount of love and treats for him or her?

Do You View Them as Buff-Off Terms -- Or Termonology of Support?

When your friends are effected by others, in a negative way, and they need you to back them up or sympathize with them -- do you ever tell them that they should not let the others 'get them down'? And if you do, how do you beleive that the statement comes across? Have you ever come across someone, who needs you to support them, when others or things get them down; and you find yourself involved deeply in sympathizing with them --

later, finding that when you need some support, they continually seem to buff-you-off with a 'you shouldn't let things get you down'? 

They may (typically) be very supportive and well-meaning, when they give you that advise. Or, they may (present to) be very non-caring, if the term is used without any additional support or all of the time.

If you have ever told someone, that they should not let someone or something 'get them down' or something else (to that effect) -- you may have been very well-meaning. Or, you may have not seen the indifference of that term, that was probably very-well well-meaning; (or, not).

What are your thoughts about the above responses, that have been presented? Do you see, that (when over-used), the terms may seem like a callous buff-off? Or, do you view this perspective regarding the terms presented, to be something that you feel indifferent about. It's okay; I'll try not to let it get to me. (Just kidding).

A Perspective About Asking the Universe With Clarified Specificness

It's so simple -- asking is. However, how many people ask with intelligence?

When we ask (the Universe) for what we want, vagueness should not be included in the question. Specificness brings goals closer to us, and the Universe with the Laws of Attraction may be geared to honor the requests which are more so, specifically laid out.

Do you have a specific experience in specific asking? Clarification: that asking (with intelligence) for what you want, tends to get you what you want, (more often) than having a general list of what you want?

(The above question, may be more effective because of the clarification; clarification -- being more specific, through the clarification.) And that's the coinciding doublebacked play on words, that hopefully, demonstrates the effect of clarifying and specifying.

The video below, is a good one about asking; believing; and receiving.

Sometimes Complainers are Actually Seeing Themselves in the Persons Being Complained About

When we complain about others, about the very same things that we ourselves do, we are obviously, blinded subjectively.

When we have that double-standard in our behaviour in relationship to our value system, we allow our own flaws or mistakes, to be projected unto others in our perception, believing that our complaints are justified -- because, in reality, when we complain about something that is done by others, that we also do -- the complaint is negated or countered by our own matching flaws or mistakes?

That is a fascinating way, that we human beings tend to dismiss our own shortcomings, and put them on, or point the finger at someone else who may be in error, or flawed by the very same shortcomings of ourselves; that which we are in denile of, of ourselves.

On a whimsical note -- You may notice, that I seem to be pointing my finger at complainers. And the irony is, that if I were (in this case, complaining about complainers) -- I am not really in denile of that double-standard. And that may be a large difference, from those who point fingers -- but, who don't see the double-standard. (And I am relating this in a playful way, only to demonstrate the irony of being in denile of the double-standard that is described above.)

What are your thoughts, about this blind-spot, that we humans tend to have?

And on the flip-side -- When we, human beings, see the good in others -- we are also, noticing or identifying with the good in ourselves; whether or not, we are aware of this. (That is definitely, a remarkable plus of positive projection. Would you not agree?)

Could You Celebrate an Affair?

Affairs happen. Although, they are certainly, not typically a welcomed situation for the one who is betrayed (unless, he or she has no problem with infedility), or not always a picnic for the individual who is having the affair -- sometimes, having an affair and conveniently getting caught, is a convenient excuse for a break up of a commited relationship. It may be easier, for both parties of the committed relationship, rather than to lay the cards out on the table, so to speak. Perhaps, a relief (if you will) for someone whoose heart has not been in the committed relationship, for some time; and that could apply to both parties.

Could you, outwardly celebrate an affair of your partner? Or, is that not even thinkable?

A Perspective About Reading Body-Language -- It's Something That is Developed Naturally

Non-verbal body-language is something that we are not necessarily taught about early-on in school. We don't take classes, to discern micro-expressions, or non-verbal everyday body-language-speak, (if you will); for, it is all a natural process, which we may instinctively and intuitively know how to read, by empathy and logic.

By putting ourselves in the place of the one whom we are reading, we get where they are coming from and feeling, by interpretation of significant emotions and jestures. We can guage by logic, what is going on with them.

Emotional intelligence and logic-smarts, may be key and significant in reading people, as well as, the instinct and intuition to help discern in non-verbal body-language communication.

What are your thoughts, about reading people and body-language?

A Perspective About Cat Gazes and Dog Stares

For cat-lovers, there may not be anything more delightful, mysterious, and mesmerizing, than the gaze of a cat. For, a cat might not be deemed as the proverbial "man's best friend" -- however, to be in the presence of a cat (for some individuals), can be quite an honor and a very enjoyable experience, especially, if the cat gazes at an individual, in an attentive and mysterious way.

For cat-lovers, the staring of a cat is a pleasurable experience. However, if one feels intimidated by long gazes by any creature -- there may not be delight or affection felt for a gazing cat, by someone who views it as intimidating. Instead, the individual may feel uncomfortable and not be fond of the affectionate and mysterious feline creature, who may have no clue, that the reason why an individual is demonstrating a lack of fondness and affection for the feline, is because of the uncomfortable feeling that he or she gets, because of a gazeful connection, the cat may be trying to establish with the individual. 

Lucky for cats, there are cat-lovers out there who know that the beauty and mystery of cats, is exemplified with their long and deep gazes.

The ironic part is that when a dog looks at an individual, who may get intimidated by a cat's gaze -- the dog's stare, may be very welcomed and deemed by the individual, as being friendly. (Go figure... Right?) 

Are you a cat-person, or a dog-lover? And can you relate to the above perspective?
