Self-importance IS who we are... we're always acquiescing to that... no matter what we call it... *engagement* is just one defining word. It just seems to me you have a push-pull facet in your *engagement*. So close... yet so far. ~A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when for exmple I am pondering what I could invest in my identity 'to be someone' then the idea can arise to get engaged in some social activity which has got some high reputation. And now the situation is totally different. It is the cunning mind which makes the difference, isn't it ?

I thought the reason (cunning mind?) we are on these groups (since there is no immediate suffering child to save but our own inner child, as it were) was to *communicate*. As such it seems to me that you are hell-bent to avoid communication on any terms save your own. Just my opinion, my 2 cents. ~A > > > > It just seems to me you have a push-pull facet in your *engagement*. > > > > So close... yet so far. > > > > ~A > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
