Let
There Be No Confusion
S/He
lights a fire and comes to a quick conclusion.
Things are heating up. Never
Wrong. Is the track record s/he is
seeking. Words and Deeds. Setting the world on fire and doing it in
prime-fashion-way. Sucks wind and goes
from spot to spot, tending the fires s/he has burning. And this brings me to the point I want to
make. Let There Be No Confusion. S/He knows what they are doing, and who will
get burned as the flames rise and leave their pit, to engulf us all. Smoke and Mirrors and sees the reflection of
a total eclipse that left us in darkness, just the other day.
Ambiguous
equivocating. Wonder what that
means? Look it up. And he does.
So
I plugged this into the system and was asked.
‘… ambiguous equivocation…’ or ‘ambiguous
equivocating ‘, and I said, “Both.”
Found
myself looking at this: Of course, most words are ambiguous, but context usually makes
a univocal meaning clear. ... The Fallacy of Equivocation occurs when an
equivocal word or phrase makes an unsound argument appear sound.

And
now it is perfectly clear to me. I have
no idea what this is about. Equivocation
or equivocating, has me thinking. Best I go eat an apple and check to see if
the fires are spreading.
Let
There Be No Confusion. North Korea fires
a nuclear weapon in my direction, and the alert will sound. Sound in time, and that is yet to be
determined. At this point, only words
are lighting fires, as most of the implements of fire and destruction are
landing in the sea east of North and South Korea and before they reach
Japan. All of this has happened
before. Think back and realize, they
test these things over water, or at least that is what I have been lead to
believe. Back to the words I do not
understand. Ambiguous equivocation. Ambitious equivocating. And scratch my head. Looking around for some cake to eat. Now laughing.
Can’t
keep my mind from wandering. The extra
effort applied here, is making me hungry.
Something gnaws at me. Is times
like this that I yearn to run the bases and burn off energy. But first I need to get me some. All Talk and no action is exhausting. For a Bat-Swinger it is what means when it is
said, “The worst.” Has me back on the
balance beam. Equivocation is an
informal fallacy resulting for the use of a word in multiple senses, used
throughout an argument leading to a false conclusion. Brings
me back to baseball and exercise. Abbott
and Costello’s ‘Who’s on First?” routine
comes to mind.
What’s
the difference? Just words. Nothing has happened yet. Fire-starter is words. Invisible and imaginary force that brings the
world and universe and asteroids on a collision-course. Double-entendre. Dagger in the
heart and keeps me on my toes. Has me
thinking about understanding interpersonal communication. “Who’s on First?”
And
another of my favorites.
“Are
you talking to me?”
Let
there be no confusion. Once a fire is started and left unattended,
there will be consequences that are real.
Have other things to do. Fire
Station Statutory Rape. “Not my job.” So lean into it and let it go around me. Is my plan.
He
writes a blog. Voices an opinion, sort
of. Mentions scenarios that reflect the
diversity and interactions found in today’s world, the one that surrounds
us. Imaginary or real, and is challenged
to come up with an answer. Some of this
is beyond my ability to recognize what is just in front of me and staring me in
the face. Plead ignorance. Points to the sky and says, “Smoke and I can’t
breath.” Rapid changing situations I must deal with
and blame it on technology in an advanced society.
Now
comes the best part. “Not my fault.” I will say.
About that, let there be no confusion.
Echoes follow me. And yes, there
is a big elephant in the room and I have nowhere else to go with any of
this. “Piece of Cake.” s/he says.
And now the room is laughing.
