Agreed.
But you are not me;
and I know what my limits are.
I think I made you kinda scared
with my nearly limitless energy
so we gotta go back to
"Kevin Martens, why don't you feel shame?
Kevin Martens, what the fuck is it that makes you so unafraid
to be yourself?
We tried everything. Even the entire self-help
industry says that INTJs shouldn't try so hard."
Ah, but why let yourself be defined by ego-pattern?
Let me introduce you to all my students and friends
who pretend that individuation doesn't exist
and/or swear, upon their dying breaths
that it should be the White Man's zodiac on which all reality is premised
or some other system as equally
non-functional? Some other invention that makes us all even slower than the tortoise
up against the turtle, and the otter, and the binturong, and the
snare of thinking that
reality can be whatever we want it to be?
That the ingredients for a healthy life
can be plucked from any old Tom, Dick and psychoemotional Tree
(oh wait, and this is Singapore. So we should definitely leave in
Harry.)
my point obtains regardless.
I am immune to shame
so long as it contains hypocrisy;
even if I am shirtless
you will never catch me failing to understand who I am.
It's all based on principles that are real,
not stupid lines drawn in the sand
but a bunch of equally idiotic humans
who keep trying to pretend
that they can be gods, just by acting like
they know where the boundaries are. That they understand my intent.
My darlings.
If you really were such fantastic diviners,
then why did you let Kristang come back?
You thought that me encountering our painful history would somehow engender shame? I think you lack
a full understanding
of what "being INTJ" really means:
that oftentimes the best plan
is to not have one.
That sometimes having enough pride
actually does mean having none.
That sometimes learning to fly, and learning the ways of your own island,
is all simply about learning
how to have some balanced, nuanced fun.
