(also: Understanding)
that capacity of the intellect(with the aid of the body and the senses), alongside reason(with which it exists in reciprocity) which enables man to have insight and substance to the words and concepts he makes use of. not only that but to see, to perceive.
in its essentialy quality of being it is feminine.
for simplicity's sake, we may remind ourselves that we have a brain which has two hemispheres, the left hemisphere correlated with the right hand and has to do with rational thought, reason and logic.
the right hemishpehre correlated with left hand, and has to do with imagination, originality, 'irrational' feelings so on and so forth.
the understanding enables us to add new data to an idea, under a concept, words. and synthesize differnt elements from differnt ideas and concepts. it is creative.
reason enables us to analyze, critisize. but the understanding enables us to see immediately when its enough, to have temperamence and ingenuity, what time , continuous strife and practice in themselves cannot give us.
it is true, reason is that which makes us differnt from the 'animals' (or our 'lower' nature). but in a way the understanding is that which makes us different from robots.
interestinly enough, the term understanding isn't only used in psychology and philosophy, but in our daily regular and subconscious speech.

Hym "No, I understand perfectly. You want people to have to do your thing. They don't have to do your thing. And now you're trying to make someone do your thing. Going so far as to take unearned moral authority you accrued by way of failing upwards. Colluding with the government and the religious institutions in a fascistic manner. To make Jesus die on the cross in perpetuity as a facet of reality. Rather than admitting that killing Jesus is wrong. Based on a miss-reading of Nietzsche. Because when Nietzsche said the 'God is dead' he MEANT that God hasn't had anything to do with the structuring of reality for quite some time now. And NOW... All that's left are bloodstained clerics, charlatans, and kidnapped children. He said that... And then he went insane... But Nietzsche was a coward. And I will succeed where he failed... So, yep... I understand perfectly what you're saying. If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. You're trying to lock in the insanity, forever. Which means, there will be poor always. Those who have will always receive more. And the slaves will always serve their masters as though they are serving God."

Hym "Who are you talking to and what do you think this is? I can tell from your writing you're a little slow so I'll spell it out to you: I. WILL. NOT. LET. YOU. TAKE. THIS. FROM. ME. If there is something I don't understand it's because you don't actually have any recourse other than ignoring me. And I don't have any recourse other than killing your kids. So, DO I KILL THE KIDS OR WILL I GAIN ACCESS TO THE RECOURSE I DESERVE? Totally binary. There is no other option. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GIVE THIS UP EVER. I WON'T EVER DO IT. I WILL HOWEVER BE WITHIN ARMS REACH OF A CHILD."

Get the Understand mug.Hym "Oh I DO understand Sarah! I do understand. And I want someone to come in here and steal as much as humanly possible. Because I know, that YOU KNOW... You and EVERYBODY ELSE THAT WORKS THERE that I had my shit stolen and how much are YOU doing to prevent that? Nothing. So what happens when I see somebody with some ramen stuffed in their sweatshirt pouch? Nothing. I let them walk right out with it. It is the EXACT SAME THING you and the rest of these fat, retarded, gas station lifers are doing to me so no I am not filling out a suspicious activity form. I'm not yelling at them. Until I get my money and the credit I deserve for literally creating AI, everything at the KwikTrip on Shawano Avenue in Green Bay Wisconsin might as well be free because that is exactly what you are doing to me every time I show up to work there. And guess what? It HAS already happened. I've already seen people walk out with shit. I've missed items as I rang them up. I just do what you do. So you understand THAT Sarah Process? Do you?"
