too much criticism...

[starry-eyed pirate]

...can cause a person to fear failure and failure is an indespensable part of life.  It enables us to learn.  The criticism in $tr8 was relentless.  Fear of failure; fear of criticism, fear of abuse, paralyzes a man when he should act.  

...Relentless is putting it mildly...ruthless.

that kind of abuse just kills the spirit; makes one want to disappear, be invisible.

had to post it.  Peace.

I agree with your statement, and would like to comment on it........

Many of the most successful people I have come into contact with have said that they have learned more from their failures than from their successes.  If the possibility of failing is not present, there is no incentive to succeed, and conversely, success is cheapened and demeaned.  If there was no risk, then there was truly no reward, merely inevitability, and therefore nothing admirable in the pursuit of excellence or success.  The fear of failure in Str8 (and it's attendant consequences, DEADINSANEINJAIL) was, in my opinion, a way to "de-incentivize" individual thought and action, a means of enforcing conformity to the will of the group (which they called "God's Will", a code name for the program), in order to create more stringent programming in the Robot Factory's products.


A rather thought-provoking post, Pirate.  I will smoke on this and comment further at a later time.......Peace out, (and find my Stones DVD.....lol)

LOL :rofl: .  It's in the works brother.  I recently remembered that I think I stashed it somewhere so my daughter wouldn't find it...I just have to remember where.  So there has been some progress toward the recovery...

...and yeah, you're onto their tricks red temple.  Thanks for what you wrote.

Sorry, though about my phone, that was the end of minutes, I'll have to call you back.

right now I gotta run.

When you say successful I wonder what you mean...  maybe it just means accomplishing what you've set out to do...

"the fear of failure in Str8( and it's attendant consequences, DEADINSANEINJAIL) was, in my opinion a way to "de-incentivize" individual thought and action, a means of enforcing conformity to the will of the group(which they called "God's Will", a code name for the program), in order to create more stringent programming in the Robot Factories products".

Yeah.  This looks like a good place to dig.  I eagerly await your expoundation.
