As I said last post, there’s a light side to the deficits I enumerated. It’s not in my nature to look at them as negative unless I see them as something to be modified or corrected, so now I’ll delve into the yin and yang.

Superficial, aka Visually Oriented: No doubt about it, this is something that needs modification. The only upside is that this informs my photography and art appreciation. It assists my composition and allows me to tell you exactly how and why I like or dislike a piece of art. When applied, it allows me to dress and carry myself with aplomb. However, I definitely need to work on the distinction between necessity and th inessential, that which is required for a composition to work and that which is an ornamental splendor.

Consumed, aka Passionate: I genuinely love all sorts of activities, which means I naturally connect with a wide range of people and personalities. I’m never at a loss for conversation, or having some new interest sparked in me. I have pursuits that lie outside of whatever inter-personal relationships I’m involved in, and if some event, date, or occasion falls through, there’s always something else I can do that I love. I’m not clingy.

Elitist, aka Knowledgeable: When I’m talking about something I love, I usually know my shit. I don’t assume knowledge about things I haven’t trained and/or studied extensively in, and am more than willing to ask for information, opinion, advice, and insight. But when you’re in my world, I’ll generally give you damn accurate info.

Lack of Expression, aka Genuine: When I do express myself with words, what I express is my complete and utter truth, it is an unfiltered slice of myself. I never bluff, I never fake it. And if you’re aware of my actions, you’ll see more expression than most.

So, who wants to hang out with a visually oriented, passionate, knowledgeable, genuine person? Line forms to the right….

What are deficits? How can they be viewed as assets? Enemies versus allies? Can you determine when which is which? Yeah, there’s always a lesson in there somewhere.
