Jeez... I'm away for a while, and a philosophical debate breaks out. Wow.

Been kinda trackin, but I'm dealing with the Devil's own schedule (end of year paperwork out the wazoo), as well as some medical issues (severe Barrett's Esophagus, hiatal hernia, dysplasia).

Ain't stopped me from vaping, though...

Tribalism is the feeling or state of mind of belonging to a group, and the strong loyalty to that group. You'll find it everywhere. Fans of a sports team, adolescent cliques, political parties, religious sects, etc. I would imagine that calling someone a "tribalist" is implying that they can't function without (or in spite of) those social constructs.
I always thought tribalism was a beat.

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing. [emoji38]
Nah... this was a pre-release pic. The shelves are filled with wick, wire, tools, batteries, and chargers.

Also, I don't mean to imply that I never feel hatred or anger. I absolutely do, in fact probably more than most, I merely have tools that work *for me* as I personally don't enjoy those particular emotions particularly when they hang around a long time, but I'm a human being like everyone else.

Vive la difference! I say.

I've been handling my father-in-law's estate now for what seems like forever and that's taught me a whole new meaning of the word "hate." This are my wife's sisters and brother-in-law aka Cerberus, the dog that guards the gates of Hell:

AA teaches to pray for the people you hate (along with wishing yourself and loved ones much success and happiness as well). It works. It may take a while but it does. Of course, since anger/resentment is probably one of the major things that can take you back out into ETOH/drug land, it probably makes sense.

I guess I've been practicing that one too long now, as it works, and I find my life is easier along the way, to wish only my beloveds and myself goodness, happiness and a better life.

With that said, that's MY opinion, and also, often as I'm praying for the bad person they either 1)Mysteriously are no longer in my presence/thoughts anymore and 2) Sometimes something bad will happen to them if it's a needed consequence. I'm merely pointing out what said actions do for ME.

I went through a very angry period. I felt like I was burning up from the inside. I had to learn forgiveness to survive! And, you're right! The people you forgive tend to suddenly no longer be in your life. Like magic!
And this is an exercise in moderation; picture dos not include one liter nic (broken down into smaller bottles) in storage, chargers, and nemmy/kayfun in hand. Notice indications of flavor-flitting.

So, he who calls you a "tribalist" is sort of the ultimate group think tribal member. He will never stray from the wisdom and control of the tribe.

You got that correct. I don't know if I'm blessed or cursed as of my three best friends one is on the loony left and another the kooky right, only one hangs in the middle.

Thanks for posting this. It will prove to my wife that I don't have all the vape gear on earth. Impressive!

I am not sure if I should post a picture of the next vapemail or not based on this.
