Some make the same mistakes repeatedly. Are they simply not paying attention? Why do they repeat what ALWAYS fails?

    I just answered something you asked on here about kind of the same subject.  I am going to say that while I answered the last question using me and my past drinking in my 20's as an example, I wonder.  I wonder if that chemical imbalance that made me a drinker, also makes people do the same dumb things over and over.

    For instance, I would NEVER EVER be dumb the way Trump's BASE is DUMB. That is OLD SCHOOL'S SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID definition of DUMB.  

    But is their special dumbness more in line with my inability to put down the desire to drink?  I was hooked on the idea of how booze made me feel, rather than the REAL things it did to me afterwards, long after the good effects were over.

    Trump's base operates the same way.  They cannot see he is not GOOD and They cannot see that he has made them hungover and sick and angry for 3 years now.

    Thank you for your reply Sharon and the graphic. I think self-analysis is essential and far too many people never do it. Happy Sunday.

    Mistakes are like a way of learning.  Some people fail to comprehend the lesson being taught, and therefore must "repeat the class" until they get it.

    Part of it is also thinking there is nothing wrong with it and in fact they exult in it. A good example is 4D and his fan base. The anti 4D folks believe he is a bad guy and his base is puzzling. But the pro 4D folks have said he was send by GOD. So it is a stalemate. If you weigh 400 lbs and think there nothing wrong with you keep eating. From a healthy-wise point of view weighing that much is not as good as not weighing that much.We justify and rationalize and pretzelwise to make us always "right" about our choices. It's Complication. That's the answer to so many things Shuhak. As if that mean it's hopeless. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
