The Neglected

Background.
In any field of inquiry, I generally mean the framework, the context, the implicit space of an event or view. or perhaps a historic background. It's often what we ignore. So we might talk about planets but it is more difficult to talk about the space surrounding them. Or we might talk about a love affair but neglect the environmental factors that determined the course of a love affair.

Backlash.
I mean the social pendulum swing due to imbalance. It's a social reaction. If liberals take over the media and for years you see Lisa Simpson make a fool out of Homer Simpson, the macho conservative types will come back for payback (like Fox News). Or Tom Leykis types to Women's Liberation.
Like the background, the backlash is often ignored, and it occurs when people are not aware of the consequences of their behaviors. ("people will tire of the quantity, and will start to go for quality." this is a backlash in the market).

Inherent Contradiction.
All concepts have binary opposites. The presence of their opposite is already present in the concept. It's the tiny embryonic seed of the opposite embedded in the concept, as you can observe in the Yin-Yang symbol.
It's the implicit opposite. Like when you say 'i love you' and she senses the inherent selfishness in that statement. It's the absurdity of life philosophers talk about. Normality already implies there's something strange going on.
Again, like the backlash or background it is what is generally ignored. Like when we want a girl so much, we fail to see her imperfections, her inherent contradictions. You need to integrate the inherent contradiction into your desires. In desire manifestation it's about integrating the inherent contradiction to make your desires more realistic. It's the difference between an infatuation and a mature love affair. You recognize all the shit that a relationship can bring.



As we explore areas that are neglected, we make discoveries that others can't. Looking behind the headlines, the obvious, beneath the surface, the too complex, the depths, the frightening, the confusing.
