So here it is Raca 3

Of course the Raca is hard to listen to.

One, the Raca pontificates from an assumed perspective of expertise.

Two, the Raca is given to buffoonery.

Three, the Raca mundanely reiterates the things that most people already know and do not care to hear.

Four, the track of the Raca’s own life has been uneventful, flailing or failing in terms of social success.

Five, The best record of the Raca’s accomplishment(s) might be found in various courthouse files.

Six, the Raca often speaks in complex ideation but always assuming prior knowledge or agreement on the part of his listener(s).

Seven, the Raca has demonstrated no intent other than his own self interest.

Eight, the Raca has been bully more than his allowed term.

Nine, the Raca has shown very little ability to maintain the even keel.

And

Ten, of course there is at least ten, the Raca is known for many, most, or all the above and is proud to claim some other person’s accomplishment as his own.

Of course the Raca is hard to listen to. He isn’t the voice chosen to authoritatively deliver the message. Usually. Do you notice the phonetic similarity of the Hebrew raca to our own rock? Dumb as a rock?

Yet, I wonder, have I been the object of someone I perceived as a raca's throw?

This leads to the next topic: insincere racaism.

a delay

there must be a final Raca to bring things into focus...but later not tonight

Complete/Perfection

I may have to question to some degree the use of the word complete. While one of its nuantic meanings is perfect, it also and more primarily means finished, over, done. Ish may be fulfilled when joined with Isha, and, while without sin, Adam and Woman may have been more nearly perfect(complete?) had they eaten of the Tree of Life, but they ate that other fruit, whereby they realized their incompleteness(sin and guilt) so the Tree of Life was kept from their diet and thus they remain incomplete yet perhaps fulfilled(less lonely) in each other. As to: Were they 'complete' meaning perfect? Not for long, if at all, and only in that euphemism called 'potential'....

that other aspect of completeness-finished and done--keeps raring up and mok=cking me in this situation because when you look at the progress or perhpas devolution of man into a techno wonk and his frequent neglect of others and even God then complete seems a little out of the question. Now if complete means largely and almost exclusively capable of fending the world for themselves without thought or care for eternity and no shadow of "not gonna change nosiree" then complete is a good word for the state of man at alomost any time in his history.

Raca 2 as messenger

I thought I might begin again to explore the blogosphere at my place here with an essay or two from the perspective established by the previous post, namely ‘raca that I am’. So to that expect I purport to you that you have no reason for acknowledging my ranting and raving other than you might want to gather ammunition with which to further extinguish than I and others already have my reputation for being one who should be summarily rejected as to having any noteworthiness whatsoever and even go so far as to quit your reading now! Thereby leaving me to write to and for myself and worry not whether some one or another might agree or disagree or just think ‘what the hay’! But to halt the feeble attempt at humility and go on to the point of writing this attempt, it comes to my attention, from regions not mentioned for purposes of secrecy alone, that I might be one of the more obtuse thinkers of my time and somewhat unable to stir up any emotion of clarity or thought of focus in myself, let alone any other superficially or deeply interested block of grey matter connected by neurons skeletal structure and such to motor response mechanisms which could then act or react to my grating, halting, jumping and thumping line of thought. So, without aver I go to the point that it matters not so much the skill or reputation of the messenger but rather the message itself, if founded from sources which are respected and listened and adhered, then some means will be established by the receipt bearer to reckon the validity of the message and ascertain its appropriateness by those who are worthy of receiving it. Their worthiness of being messaged then will reveal itself in their ability to translate the conversation into its intended meaning and act, react and respond accordingly. While I might have at one time considered myself one who whould not be summoned in a way or some other personally percepted reprehensible way, I now am convinced that whatever the message, it is the source which determines its worth and not the medium in which it is delivered.
