Shown in this dramatic illustration is what happens when Rhinos forget to do their own thinking, allowing somebody else to define or limit Mental Activity.
The results are not pretty. Trust Us on that.
Unless you’d rather think it through on your own, to see if you agree.
‘Tasty’ conventionally refers to Flavor Appreciation. Rhinos are as susceptible as any other Critter to a good time in our mouths.
But given our Rhino Discernment in so many fields of interest, We often think of ourselves as Tasty, as in typified by Taste.
RhinoTaste; so much more Flavorful than Tasteful.
Rhinos are always being asked if We know Everything there is to know. We respond with gentle smiles, and admit that there are probably things that We don’t know, and are unlikely to learn.
That way, if and when somebody discovers something We don’t know, however unlikely that would be, We can murmur, “Told you so.”
(The Presumption here is ‘Everything of Interest‘.)
Rhinos spend a lot of time Pondering. Weighing. Analyzing. Chewing. We might like to say that our thinking is free of Subjective bias or passion, but We have never figured out how that could be.
Objectivity seems to deny Us ourselves in relation to our subject matter. We are to stand aside and assess. Get Scientific.
Well, er, um, it is Not a Rhino Approach.
Sisyphus was doomed to roll a rock up a hill, and when he let it go, down it rolled, damning him to repeat his effort, forever.
Rhinos are familiar with such Procedures; We see that our Course of Action does not work, and never will, but do We find another response? Sadly, seldom.
Does this make sense? No. Who supposed it might?
Rhinos have unusual sleep patterns; none of this 8 hours a night business. We just go to sleep when We are saggy, and fidget forth when We are awake.
Also, We have other mental states, where the edges are fuzzy. Sometimes We are Asleep-ish, or Awake-ish, though the states are not identical.
Or Hypnotize-ish. Though just how that works is hard to recall, for the most part. Rhinos are pretty Suggestible.
We Rhinos don’t have names as our Readers do. It is not a system which would work for Us, or give each of Us the distinguishing qualities We insist on.
Of course, We know one another by Scent, a series of sensations with so many varying levels that mere words could not pinpoint any one of them. Like a swirling ball of Impressions, Reference points, and Intimations. A Symphony played upon a harp, each glissando setting off its own meaningful ripples.
Rhinos are Natural Works of Art, each in a Gallery all our own.
Rhinos always feel that a Point of View can flavor Experience, which is, after all, what it’s all about, right?
Now and then We find that our individual Repertoire of POVs needs refreshing. What has a Rut got to recommend it?
Consequently We are always in the market for a new Frame of Mind.
Bwa-Ha Ha HaHaaaaaaaaaaaa. Or something along those lines…
Today marks the one year Anniversary after the third year of publication for “YourInnerRhino.com”. Sadly, We Rhinos do not use numbers after Three (which accounts for the misunderstanding in the picture.)
In the 1,461 days since Oct. 20, 2014 We have published 1,451 times. That’s more than 99% delivery, though We did have to farm out the mathematical work to the Experts…
Rhinos, both on the hoof and our Staff, rejoice in Reader Support, and plan to give the Three years plus Two, too. To you and you. And you too.
