Has it ever occured to you that your "acceptance" of one thing or another does not weigh on its veracity?
Yes, it has. Has the same occurred to you too?
We are here to challenge each other, to stretch each other's minds beyond the comfy little cushions that they're used to.
That means you will be challenged to....like your uncontrollable urge to teach.
It is possible that you are wrong about yourself. It is possible that via your hoped self-image you have ignored the numerous little reminders that you might not be all you've cracked yourself up to be.
Numerous little reminders...lol. Whatever you saw about me was always dead wrong. You never accepted that, did you? So to you it was me rejecting all that free wisdom you offered me..Right.
You're reading this now seething that I'd be daring enough to point it out. And yet my gesture couldn't be more friendly.
Wrong again, it think it's quite funny to see you speak while you weren't asked anything. But I am already getting quite accustomed to your urge to teach.
Maybe you should question yourself: "Why do I do this?"
And when you see just how true that is, you will have become a man of knowledge. Right now your just a warrior; which is still better than just an average man. We all start out like that, full of our preassumed judgements about ourselves..and we get mad at the world for not agreeing with us.
The problem with that last sentence of your is that you have to be a (wo)man of knowledge yourself to know I haven't become one myself. You haven't shown me anything than prejudice. Just one (of many) example(s) : we both have discussed things, well, I was present when you wanted to cram your convictions through my throat. So what did you say - repeatedly- when you didn't succeed in converting me: that it must be a man/woman thing, like in me, as a man, not accepting that you, a woman, tries too teach me something. An utterly ridiculous assumption most likely based on your own kneejerk responses to men.
I've talked a lot with women who were much more knowledgable on certain subjects than I was, and had no problems accepting whatever they said. Maybe you don't understand that there is a difference in explaining something and coercing someone to accept whatever you say.
