You've revealed yourself as an OTC type (Orange Tail Chaser) This means that you have the psychological tendencies associated with the color orange which compell you to turn in circles.

Color: Meaning, Symbolism and Psychology

Orange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger "love it" or "hate it" response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy. Interestingly, some of the tones of orange such as terra cotta, peach or rust have very broad appeal.

How the color orange effects us mentally and physically
* Stimulates activity
* Stimulates appetite
* Encourages socialization

Choosing the picture of these oranges that features their circular shape demonstrate your tendency to turn in circles. It is curious that none of these oranges are peeled clearly illsutrating your refusal to reveal your inner life.

Hmmmm......very interesting.;)

I often find it so fascinating to listen in on the debate in these forums. What I find interesting is that very often much is sacrificed to the god "imrightnurrong"
One of the lesser known gods of antiquity, his worshippers would often burn classical greek texts on his altar, showing how this particular god would spurn logic and damn anyone who insisted on defining his opponents terms. Particulary abhorrent was the practice of calling another on his use of a fallacious argument. Since it is no longer fashionable to call oneself an "Imrightnurrongian" the old religion has gone underground and only surfaces in places where it is important to be right at all costs. I suspect that there are secret followers of this old religion lurking about, but cannot say for sure. Perhaps someone here has noticed this also?

Peace

Hi Paladin--

While I can't be sure of exactly what you mean by 'lurkers here in CR' (edited to add: I know those aren't exactly the words you used--I hope you don't mind the paraphrase:eek::)) , I can only tell you that I have noticed that society in general seems to be leaning toward a "contest mentality". Perhaps this is the way it has always been, and I am just now seeing it. One can hardly turn on the telly without landing on a competition of some kind.

Just my thoughts....

InPeace,
InLove

Hi InLove,

Just wanted you to know that all of us who knew you really miss your energy around here. The peace and love you always brought to your posts was a wonderful balance to the often erudite language people hide their thoughts and feelings behind.
I've been trying really hard to be good, and cultivate compassion for people and not be so judgemental, but I don't think I'll ever be as good at it as you were.
I really miss you, and I hope you are peaceful and at ease.
Love you

Mark

Yeah they did. I was thinking of holding a seance to see if any of them were able to come through from the other side.
 
Right is not right; so is not so. If right were really right, it would differ so clearly from not right that there would be no need for argument. If so were really so, it would differ so clearly from not so that there would be no need for argument. Forget the years; forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!

thnx to sg.

No, but IMO, the paranoia to be always right is born as a result of a lifetime of trials and errors with failure in all attempts to achieve one's goals. The super Ego then, manifests itself as, so to speak, in a revolt against the status quo, and paranoia sets in to stay.
