Well Ann has already beautifully addressed the ridiculousness of this scale but Lester is promoting the same old, stale paradigm that's being peddled by millions of others - it's nothing new.
I say he can never guarantee that his peace, his humility is not tainted. Too bad Lester didn't meet me I would taken less than 10 minutes to expose his pseudo-peace and humility. These idiots are the easiest for me to rip apart. Whereas my pride and arrogance is untainted. Arrogance reveals, humility masks. Arrogance, pride, anger are authentic expressions. It's easy to find comfort in scales, ideas wrapped as belief system, as a way of living to ease the pain, suffering and burden. It's much harder to live in that metaphysical tension caused by the conflicting, opposing emotions. The secret of paradise, bliss is here - that there exists such a metaphysical space, where you languish, wallow, indulge in conflicting, opposing emotions, where you are never numbed, frozen, rendered immobile by your ideas, beliefs, one which leads to self-freedom and self-knowledge.
