What's with the Troll-Fest?

28. We aren't "evolved enough" to meet our sock puppy's requirements

so it returns to continually remind us that it is more evolved than we are by hitting us where it expects to find ego or self-importance.

Even though sometimes its attempts to goad backfire (as when it tried to hit my knocking HRH Dressage Queen Ann by mocking me...only to discover I'm in the last stages of grieving my loss of Algiers) it doesn't learn. (And in an honest, forthright discussion, I would remind sock puppy that HRH Queen Ann benefited greatly from dressage yet has done nothing to help others with MS and disabilities to benefit from hippotherapy, and in fact would deny them the treatment she can easily afford. I would also remind sock puppy that while HRH Queen Ann benefited greatly from dressage, she abused one dressage horse as well as cheating in competition by riding him into the ground while he was on surgery-level painkillers, and then when it became clear he wouldn't be competitive again, attempted to defraud a buyer out of $125K by drugging him in his prepurchase exam.

And even though it occasionally loses its temper, as in its hidden thread here, and shows its resentment and need to see revenge for its exclusion, it doesn't recognize that it is no more enlightened than we and it still must follow our rules if it wants to play in our sandbox.

And our rule is we don't deliberately kick each other in what we perceive to be ego or self-importance in order to wake each other up because no
ne of us knows the details of each other's lives and none of us knows what underlying issues may be causing what appears to be ego or self-importance. So we could inadvertently cause another severe pain instead of an awakening.

The bottom line is that, as with many un-evolved Sagitarians that I have known in my life, it thinks rules are for others and it refuses to play by our bottom line rules.

During election season, we don't go after our candidate. And there is never a season when we go after one another, even to awaken them.
