Expect to find curse words, nudity, (occasionally explicit) talk of sex, and angry ranting, but NEVER slurs or sexually violent language. I use TW when I am aware of the need and on request.

abstract concepts: my definitions of art and craft
icon: "writing (a relief carving of Seshat, overlaid with my fractal "Colorflight")"


art:
a unique (not mass-produced) creation made as an aware expression of self or observation of that which is outside oneself. Awareness is necessary for art to be good; regurgitating societal norms without change or critique is not art, it's propaganda.

craft:
a unique (not mass-produced) creation made to be used in some practical manner. Some crafts are art, some are not.

abstract concepts: my definitions of confidence and conceit

confidence:
Trusting oneself and being aware of one's own skills, while being able to easily handle being wrong. Not needing external validation nor the status of being right.

conceit:
Lack of willingness to look at one's own undeveloped spots, assuming that one's own ideas & perceptions are the best without ever testing them.

compassion:
valuing others' needs as much as (NOT MORE THAN) one's own.

evil:
valuing benefit (especially luxury benefits) to oneself over harm (by neglect or direct damage) to others.

luxury:
something that brings pleasure but would not cause damage if one lacked it.

something that is necessary for physical or emotional survival.

poverty:
not having access to getting all of your basic needs met. This can mean that you sacrifice physical needs to meet emotional ones or vice versa, or that you don't even have that option.

wealth:
having so many resources that you can easily meet all your needs each month and have some left over, and are also able to manage unexpected expenses without sacrificing any needs.

abstract concepts: my definitions of deity and spirit
icon: "writing (a relief carving of Seshat, overlaid with my fractal "Colorflight")"


deity/god/dess:
A self-motivated sentient being with massively more-than-human awareness, ability to move its consciousness from place to place, ability to communicate with all living beings in a meaningful way, ability to deliberately maneuver energy, and ability to harness the power of randomness.

spirit:
A body/blueprint of energy with its own consciousness. I believe every thing has a spirit, whether animate or not.

happiness: being fully present in an experience that is nourishing.

joy: happiness that happens without effort.

I have found that defining abstract concepts helps me to implement more of what I want in my life and move away from what I don't want. So I'm going to try and make this a regular thing; after this I shall post a pair every Sunday. Feel free to comment with your own personal definitions!
