You Know That Saying ... (T/F?)

C0LLETTE · 10-18-2017, 10:18 AM

I've never been employed...ie I've been self employed for about 50 years. The only rat race I really know personally is that of the world of homo and femo-sexuals who see opportunity to exploit the loneliness and kindness of others. It's a race to devour vulnerability. Rats are the detestable, sociopathic creeps amongst us and those who try to invade our "planet" because we are such vulnerable and open emotional beings.

Far as I can figure, this is the right thread. Never occurred to me that "rat race" only referred to "job" situations. I was simply suggesting that "rat race" is also useable in terms of where we struggle in communities of relationships where primacy is often based on "doing what it takes" to "get along" and pleasing
some so get accepted amongst others, and to have had the courage to "step out".

To me, "rat race" is the obverse of being drowned at the bottom of an unaccepted, pool that you just didn't have the social skills to avoid.

I'll make it simple...so many of our most wonderful, interesting and surviving Sisters got left behind behind they when they simply couldn't find a way to do more than be tossed into the mass of "interesting" examples used by "successful leaders of the movement in their own rise to the top.

'Bite Your Tongue' .................

Keeping yourself from saying something! Holding some restraint for responding either in a nasty or sarcastic way to something being said you disagree with.

"Serious As A Heart Attack"..............

To show that you are serious, and not joking.

goodness sakes!

I have an lifelong friend who is blind and I've actually had an blind anesthetist on two occasions. My blind friend and those two blind medical professionals have better sight seeing abilities than those who are not sight impaired.
