It's you who's wanting attention and affection -- and that's why you assume it's what others must need. And you won't ever be clear on truth while you're seeking attention and affection. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe self to be compassionate. > It's you who's wanting attention and affection -- > and that's why you assume > it's what others must need. I don't assume what others must need.

You pile silliness on top of silliness. So, what you end up is with your own silliness. > > Has nothing to do with knowing truth. > > > > -- Dan > > > Of course not, how could it? > The truth is what you believe to be truth and nothing else. No, that is just more silliness. You aren't capable of believing anything. You just think you are and assume you are. So, what you get is a pretense at a silly self trying to be convinced it can have something called beliefs. <big smile> Thanks for the conversation, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
