True love is very humble, it doesn't shout its own name, it doesn't call attention to itself, it speaks in deeds rather than words. But all things in good time. Tuning down self-promotion has to come first, before vociferous love, becomes silent love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuning down self-promotion > has to come first, before vociferous love, becomes silent love. > I was going to find it very easy not to respond to you, Pete. But then it didn't feel very loving. I guess I feel most comfortable sharing my honest thoughts and feelings. Your responses seem like such obviously infantile projections, that it seems as though you'd see it yourself. But I realize that your mastery of the English language puts you at a distinct disadvantage, and thus you must continually feel very vulnerable, like most children. (That's why we call such jeering responses infantile.) So, it would probably be futile for me to ever expect you to ever calm down enough to offer yourself and others a certain level of nominal respect. It would be hypocritical of you. I don't think you respect yourself, too much. But I respect your freedom to be contemptuous. I suppose there's a place for that, both here and elsewhere. It's actually kind of cute. Peter and the Wolf. You must have been brought up in a very authoritarian household. Reminds me of Europe. Here in America we're not supposed to eat humble pie. But it's interesting how you move from one extreme to the other. If you believe the things you say about me, in any case, just know that I'm assuming that that's how you experience, not just me, not just the world -- but yourself. Doesn't sound very comfortable. Well, here comes another round of abuse from my pal Pete. Let 'er rip, big boy! love ya ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
