L.E: I'm geting tired of this conversation. It is getting too argumentative

and kind of rude, and your writing problems make it even more difficult.

I've explaind how I see it, and you've done the same. I really don't want to

trade insults.

 

GRAMMAR PROBLEMS

 

But when you complain about others, (and) the state of the world, XsoX (you

are)

desperately seek(seeking) appreciation, XhereX: (and) you are falling back

again and

again into the patterns of a child, which needs to be feeded (fed) in order

to survive.

Yes, this was already my feeling when you wrote that private mail. It

can be exhausting to be confronted with a mirror. But as I told you:

you decide how far you go. You are a very sensitive person, I can feel

that, although you are trying hard to appear tough.

 

You are also a funny guy though... you mention insults in the header.

Do you wish to insult me? Do you feel anger? Yes, when one is

confronted with truth, such defensive mechanisms often take over. They

make things appear as if they have an emotional aspect which only you

can see.

 

One thing about grammar: even I, as a German, can see how your

postings are full of mistakes. And it does not disturb me at all! I

have had conversations here in the past with a Spanish guy whose

English was like gibberish and I enjoyed it tremendously! I work here

in Greece with musicians from all over the world and our English

sometimes sounds like the Babylonian confusion. But we communicate!

Why do you care primarily about the external aspects? Here we care

about what someone has to say, not how he says it. What someone shows

about himself, what inner treasures one has to share and how open he

is to learn.

 

Honestly, collega, if grammar and literary aesthetics are of so much

importance to you, you should work on it more seriously. But please,

not here! I am sure there exist groups for it, where people correct

each other and you can develop your skills. If you want to be

creative, never stop to sharpen your tools! But here, where we are

digging for truth, inspired from a brilliant and at the same time very

humble guy called Nisargadatta: here we also have tools, and you still

have a long way to go to discover how they are used. And I honestly

wish you all the best for your journey. You have very good chances to

make it because really, thats what I feel: deep down you are a young

rebel. I know what that means. You just have to become stronger to be

able to get out of your self-created quicksand.

 

With my best wishes for you in 2006

and for the next 200 million years :-)
