Subject: [K-list] Essay: My Brief Period As A Moderator
From: David Bozzi

(in the spirit of the "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" essay)
- by David Bozzi

My brief experience as being a moderator on a YahooGroups email discussion group was fun.
I learned alot. I learned that being a moderator is not what it's cracked up to be.
Initially I thought being a moderator was going to be hard with occasional periods of
skull-cracking to put boisterous members back in line. I had none of that. My group was
nice. There was this one member who acted like a bickering wife who taught me that
despite having never been married there is a bickering husband inside me. This verifies
either that I am schizophrenic or that channeling disembodied entities is a real
phenomena or that the phenomena of bickering wives and husbands is a genetically
dictated trait that none of us can escape without the aid of innovative genetic
engineering.

Occasionally, on other lists, between many posts of mad babbling I would write something
that someone interpreted as wise or as something an enlightened person might say. Those
who wanted to find an enlightened one saw me as enlightened. And those who wanted to find
someone crazier then themself believed they had finally found what they sought. It was a
win-win situation. Everyone found what they sought.

Then that got me thinking. Don't we all do that? I mean I know people who think some
people are just great and so they put them on a pedestal and claim that they are supreme
examples of someone to emulate. While others see the very same person as full of
bull-puckey.

I say, don't put anyone on a pedestal and at the same time don't think you are any better
than anyone.

That seems to work for me. This way I have fewer delusional fantasies about perfect
people and can notice the divine more in the average person.

After a while of experiencing life like this you begin to see that there really is no
difference between a Ramana and a Manson.

That could be really bad or really liberating,
   ...depending on your perspective. ;)

Love,
David
