[djh] You're more than welcome to ask questions of me. So I apologies if I ask too many questions but I'm just interested in your values. In regards to this - what if you have better values than me and I simply fail to see it because as you say 'we have different static pattern histories and differing circumstances'. I want to become a better person right? How do I see the potentially higher quality of your values without having your personal life history and different circumstance? As far as I can see the only way I can see your values if at first appearance I cannot see the quality in what you say - is explain how I see things and alternately - you can explain how I may be wrong in my understanding. Isn't this the great thing about intellectual discussions? By working *through* our different understandings like this - we can both become better people and learn about values we might not have understood due to our 'different static pattern histories and differing circumstances'. Yes? No?
