Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Quote from TraderD:

Context...

There are 2 classifications of context:
a) initial and true context leading observer to the same insight which was put into painting by artist
b) other contexts which can influence perception of observers

Nyse, what is our goal here?
Find what Picasso was thinking? Can we?
Or find what people would think given the context?

"... I have understood my time and exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine, more painful than it may seem. But, at least, and at last, it does have the merit of being honest." - Pablo Picasso"

Given above, may be Picasso was thinking about his paycheck, or the fish he will eat after finishing this paiting.

I suppose every one will look at it differently.

When I looked at it, I said to myself, why the fuck would someone pay a large amount of money for such a weird looking fucking painting?

Why the fuck would they do that?

Is it an investment, as the painter is famous?

Is it for show, just because the person that can afford it has tons of money?

Does the person really have an interest in life and existence - and maybe gets great joy and peace by just knowing that those who will see it "can" appreciate what the painter is conveying on canvas, and it brings some sense to the silly world we live in.

What the fuck is going on!

Well, just maybe, it is all of the above – what is, is!
 
Quote from TraderD:

I am glad to see that. New Thought may be useful for a bit of time and it attracts attention initially, but it does stumble eventually. When you first mentioned New Thought somewhere earlier in the thread, I was surprized that you took it serously.

I might have said this before, and it may help some - read and extract what is relevant, then dump it in the rubbish bin and move on!

Like trading, do not get attached to anything, just look, see, act, and then fuck off and enjoy yourself - imagine all the nice birds you could be taking photos of - the feathered kind of course, just in case, again:D

Might that 6 letter word be action?

It might:D

Well milktruck, all I can say is that is the exact word that I thought of, very observant of you.

All the bullshit words on earth are of no use to someone unless they get up off their big fat arse, and act!

However, in trading, it IS different to other "normal" things, so you MUST think before you act.

Many say you must act without thinking - what kind of a stupid fucking dim wit statement is that.

ACT WITHOUT THINKING

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE - ALL ACTIONS ARE PRECEDED BY THOUGHT - SO MAKE SURE YOU FUCKING THINK RIGHT BEFORE YOU ACT

"Monkey see Monkey do" come to mind:D

Thank you RN - I had lost control there for a minute:D

Now, back to normal mode:)

This is my favourite from today - I don't know why, it just catches my eye!

RN, I have one more photo before I go - this one I think is good , as it shows what becomes of the wiggly worm when he pops his head up at the wrong time:eek:

BTW - the novice has been introduced to the wiggly worm, but he will have to do some real thinking now:D

Yes RN, at first I thought it was an alien bird or something, and maybe that was why the swallows were acting a bit strange, but when I got closer I saw that it just a poor chicken that tried to get to the other side of the road, and when the car hit him he was flung up into the tree:D

Is it not amazing how deceptive a picture can be:eek:

Adiós, mi amigo
