Disclaimer: The names of people and/or organizations have
been changed to protect myself from saying something stupid about someone I
work with on our blog.
Also Disclaimer: Some facts may have been changed do to a
false memory and/or in order to make a better story. But when you think about
it, memories aren’t really fact based anyway; they more deal in feelings and images.
But our reality is shaped and built upon memory. So really, what is a fact. My perspective is only one version of these stories—the
validity of which is only determined by the reader’s personal narrative and a
well-written disclaimer. But even this
disclaimer is subjective! Disclaimers are meant to make you aware of the
circumstances you are about to encounter so you can better enjoy an experience.
But who am I to try and mediate your experience with my stories. I can’t
control your perception and to try to do so must stem from some sort of
insecurity.
Not Disclaimer: This story is exactly the way it is and was
always going to be, as is your experience with it; unless of course there are
alternate universes.
Disclaimer for Alternate Universes: Depending on how you
experience the world you exist in, these stories might seem very strange to
you. If there even is a you. Maybe
you experience things as a collective, you
is we and all things. In that case
you; my stories; your experience with it; and this disclaimers are all part of
the same consciousness. Making this disclaimer just as much a story and
experience as anything else. So this disclaimer is really a story. And a story
is really your experience, which is a collection of memories. So disclaimer is
just a memory, which is everything.
this blog post is everything and nothing; hilarious yet with no substance. I might go as far as saying that even though it made me dumber, it made me a better human being for bringing laughter to absurdity.
ReplyDeletethe disclaimer of all disclaimers. i would theorize that there is a you, and i am a me, and we are bumbling about through the world and life experiencing the world separately in our own heads and bodies, and through good storytelling with an aware audience we can get a glimpse into another's experience and interaction with the universe, and through that glimpse we can learn more of our own perspectives, and see those perspectives from other perspectives. And moving forward we will either build some understanding of everything, or obliviously dig ourselves deeper into a pit of our own delusions and further from the objective reality that I believe exists around us, though in fact it may not exist at all.
