Words are funny things; you can think with them without believing them; they can appear and suddenly be forgotten; and though the order and sequence of them have likely been exhausted by now, after centuries of linguistic evolution in the making, somehow, poets and novelists continue to rearrange them in ways which still tell new and interesting stories.
And, for the most part, you can believe in them across a spectrum of passionate longings — from “not really” believing in the words you think to “really believing” in those compelling systems which trigger your passions. But so long as you don’t “act” upon the words which float in your brain, it really doesn’t matter all that much.
Do you remember the story about the California Guru who had a cult following about being able to live without eating actual food, but by just breathing in the nutrients which are prevalent in the air? He was later caught and seen at a 7/Eleven buying one of their chili-dog specials. When asked about it, he fled the scene, leaving a trail of delightful scents pervading the nutritional cloud of hot chili and pork.
What was the “after-story”? No one knows; but, likely, anyone who can persuade others of such nonsense will have been able to give a convoluted explanation without losing any adherents, like: “The air particles around me did not provide enough nutrition at the time and so the power of the One prompted me to enter the human form and test the food of humans” — etc.
But how can anyone follow such a belief-system — words — when the hunger pains must by necessity reveal the falsehood of such words? That is when the dichotomy between words and reality persuade us that the words we apply must ultimately be tested against the reality of the world.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a medical condition which prompts the necessity for filing an effective Federal Disability Retirement application under the FERS retirement system, through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the dichotomy between words and reality is what must be closed in order to persuade the U.S. Office of Personnel Management of the clear and unequivocal validity of your case.
The medical condition must be proven as real; the law must be applicable; and any accommodation issues must be resolved. In other words, the dichotomy between words and reality must be matched.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill
