I'll tell you what. I'd be a big ol' Narcissist if I ran around claiming that I was "there" or "anywhere", for that matter, which unfortunately may be the very impression I am giving (sigh!) by writing with a certain conviction, provoked rather by passion and interest rather than taking a bit too much of a fancy to the podium. Oh well...its either that or try to figure out how to communicate in a "ponerologically correct" manner, which I wouldn't know how to do if I tried. Trying to tone myself down to sound less like a windbag...I would be too busy second-guessing myself to even think.Laura said:Well, I don't know if I am there yet. I still tend to want to stay open "just in case" I am wrong. I am also quite often so deluged with emails that I may interact with an individual via correspondence for some period of time before I realize that I am being "taken in." But eventually, they DO give themselves away one way or another. One, two or three very small clues. Usually, I don't even know what the clues are, I just know that I am uncomfortable and something is bugging me.
Humility and Pride are just two sides of the same coin, and it's a coin that doesn't really enthuse me at all, regardless of the impression. Actually, I don't really give a hoot who has what or where anyone is, including myself. I get confused by such references, and it seems such a chore to keep tabs. I'm just happy for the learning/dialogue.:)
Anyway, it would be nice if we could reach a stage, as something to look forward to, where we would not have to waste time in self doubt, regarding our selves and all others including psychopaths. And I guess that does mean being open to all input and all possibilites all the time. Well, theory is theory, and practice is tough...
