perceptions

Perhaps your perceptions of my notes make you feel uncomfortable.  That, in fact, is part of my intention here.

You are not yet a good investor.

You are not even a good educator yet.

You do not perceive the world accurately enough.

Perhaps you never will.

Please let me know if my perceptions of you are accurate.

As you may have noticed, I much prefer to write you notes than interact with you in other ways.

I do not trust many people at all, as you are probably very well aware by now.

I have no faith in anyone I perceive to be acting unjustly or stupidly.

Regardless of your current age and the quality of your imagination, I hope you have been taking the time to catch up with reading the earlier notes I have left for you here in the library. 

I have already provided you with quite a few educational notes, such as this one.  I have done so to help you interpret the investment notes with adequate accuracy.

Perhaps you had difficulty reading the font I initially selected for my notes to you.  I chose one to look like formal handwriting, for the simple reason that it made the notes appear more personal and informal than print-like characters.

Unfortunately, you apparently continue to fail to comprehend my words and my intentions, however I presented them, hence the changes I have subsequently made to a more informal, handwritten style, such as this one.

Perhaps you are not much of a writer.  Perhaps that is the reason for your lack of reciprocation.

I consider most people to be either too aggressive or too timid.  The timid do nothing to prevent aggression, including hubris.

What do you do?

I am not impressed by the perceived financial status of anyone. 

I certainly have no respect for bad taste, either.  I regard it in much the same way as bad faith.  It is a sign of poor decision-making.

I have invested as little as possible in relationships, even with family members, when they have failed to respect my needs in, and my need for, good faith.

I have soon broken off friendships with anyone unwilling or unable to understand and respect my needs, values and principles.

I have withdrawn my patronage immediately from businesses and other organisations when the practices within them have not been in accordance with my values and goals.

For many years now, Adelaidean life would have been easier for me with compatible neighbours.  Such persons would have had the qualities I respected in adults in my younger years.  

My Adelaidean neighbours have long made me feel uncomfortable.

Most of my family members have made me feel uncomfortable, too.

Most of my experiences of formal education, and the associated institutions, have also made me feel uncomfortable.

How do you tell the difference between one type of intention and another?

I do not tolerate bullying or any other form of cruelty.  Such practices are intolerable.  They prevent timid and intimidated people from acting in good faith.

My words may sometimes appear too harsh to the self-indulgent fools I have had the displeasure of encountering on far too many occasions to mention, including those who happen to be related to me genetically and those who claim to represent me politically.

How do you usually interpret interpersonal intentions?

How do you usually interpret political intentions and economic intentions?

How do you usually interpret philanthropic intentions?

How do you usually interpret scientific intentions? 

When I was a child, I probably deceived myself about the qualities expressed by adults.

I probably confused perceptions of compatibility with provisions of comfort.

I probably idealised my social experiences on many occasions, even into early adulthood.

I am now much more aware of the fact that most people do not act in good faith on a regular basis though they often misguidedly convince themselves that they do.

Perhaps you perceive these notes to be a political manifesto as well as an economic one, and possibly even an artistic one, too. 

How do you usually interpret artistic intentions?

How do you usually identify and assess important records?

When, if at all, have you spent much time, as I have, observing how ridiculous perceptions about personal and household wealth cause people to behave selfishly and stupidly? 

I hope you have caught up with all the available information on the noticeboard in the virtual entrance of Frugality Cottage.

I also hope you have at least made a start on examining the guidebook here in the library.
