I meant responsibility as in the fact that the student is responsible for their own life, and they would be well advised to not hand over that responsibility to any one, no matter how strong an emotional bond they have. True intimacy cannot flourish when anyone is abdicating themselves to the other. I don't think you'd consider that usage a Semitic cover-up for finger pointing.
My point wasn't do not love your teacher, but do not allow love to delude yourself. Along the lines of, be a lamp unto your self. --Chris On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 8:57 AM, ED <[email protected]> wrote: > > Chris, these matters are beyond words.
