I didn't mean to address you in particular. I was just making a joke about a general vibe on this forum. In general though, I think it's prolly impossible to say, I am enlightened without sounding like a pompous ass for a lot of different reasons. So that puts someone who thinks they're

This time, Rory, you are not speaking from any kind of experience. Have you seen war? You may be able to argue that most of us are living in a world of psychological misery of our own making because we are not enlightened, but we are still spoiled Americans with the money, leisure, and comfort

Yes, excellent point. I've never seen MMY actually communicate with anyone. Jim and Rory may well be enlightened, but they don't seem to have enough self-awareness to notice how they come across. Maybe they just don't give a shit. a TurquoiseB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Yes, there is nothing I can see that isn't part of me. I know condescension because I have been guilty of it. I know what it feels like. That we are what we behold is a given. Within that given, however, there are distinctions that a well-trained literary critic can make. I don't know you at

The thing about being enlightened that I personally don't like all that much is that I am surrounded by unenlightened idiots. How could this have happened? I'm incarnate in a sea of idiots reflecting all that profound idiocy back to me??? Incredible. new.morning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
