A Dose of Sanity…Part Ten

Contraception and the Absurdity of Ideology:
Ideology is not constituted by abstract propositions in themselves; rather, ideology is (itself) the very texture of the” life world” which “schematizes” the propositions, rendering them livable.  Take the issue of contraception availability for women in the United States as an example.  Such an issue only becomes “live able” against an obscene amount of unwritten rules and rituals.  

This is why, if there is an ideological experience at its purest, it occurs the moment we adapt an attitude of ironic distance.  If we do not then the ideology exerts is strongest hold on us (all) and creates subjects to pure ideology.  In this creation we become lost to the real world, the real experience (of those effected) and the true understanding of what it means to be free.

Something to remember the next time those in opposition to such a rudimentary right of all women speak about an infringement of their rights and freedoms and try to dictate the rights of something that (for the most part) the ones in opposition do not even posses and could not possibly understand the complexity of (to its fullest)

Ponderingthoughts..

About

Just what exactly is Ponderingthoughts all about. In a nutshell it is about...life.

Contradictions (through words) are the basis of much of our thought process, and what drives me at many times to continue my quest to see, read, hear and learn as much as I can about this speciies that calls itself human. I love the study of the use of words and how they connect to thought.

It often amazes me how much two opposite sides are alike (in terms of what they ultimately seek).... it is the journey to get there that causes the conflicts/misunderstandings and contradictions.

I say what I mean, think what I say... and understand it is all self-important bullsh@t at the same time. Did I say bullsh@t?! I meant, MY truths... and being I am a human they may often seem like a contradiction.

I invite people to comment, and join the conversation, for my purpose here is also to hear from all of you, and to have others hear you as well. One thing I do ask is if when commenting you could refrain from using profanity. Of course I use it in my life, but dropping the F bomb to prove ones point seems pointless in a real conversation. Respect and thanks.

All thought derives from somewhere (I believe) it is rare anymore that we have a TOTALLY new thought (comments?), so I never actually think "wow, my thoughts are so new, so individual" They are... thoughts. Mashes of all I see, hear, read, study and experience.... They are all of you.

My purpose for this blog is to share my thoughts (based on all things I see, hear, read, do and so forth), and to also post ideas from others greater than me in their thinking (to which I would give the credit)

To those whom may read my randomness, I thank you... you honor me. Thought I probably will not reply to comments posted about what I post, I highly encourage all to add their own ideas to whatever I may post. That in itself is a main purpose of this blog... to keep the conversation going. Like-mindedness is not necessary (for me) to engage in thought and sharing and I always enjoy reading the thoughts of others... agreement or not.
