joe.. and edgar....
don't be too hard on edgar joe... he has his points to make and i appreciate his input.. all helps with my own clarification of who or what i am...or might become.. we are all here to learn from the Great Teacher who is us ..and that is Life.. when edgar speaks he speaks surely from the great teacher... his observations and insights.. from reason which he has so very clearly marked out as his all time favourite tool of "getting by" in the world.. and it's not so bad... after all irrational behaviours are surely the mark of a stupid man... and may cause havoc and chaos however all in all.. we open our hearts as we journey through life and surely the heart is the centre of our being? merle Hey, Edgar, ...was a time when you praised Merle before all of us, as an example, because of her wonderful heart, and her openness to the world, and her willingness not to complicate it. And now, when she notes the dearth and paucity of those things in you and encourages your incorporating them, you claim Merle has a psychological condition, which no longer sounds to me as flattering -- but is still as self-serving -- as your earlier praise. Merle has brought children into the world, and I believe she must know a lot more by experience about the functioning of compassion, and its importance, than you. So don't advise her about it: it's just unseemly. I would have hoped you'd know better than to cast aspersions and create the fiction of a "complex" to apply to someone who is obviously much more experienced and advanced along the path (any important path...) than you are. Oh, well. Pls. leave "Christ" out of it. As you know, he didn't die for you. Your stock has fallen again, even on this day when the Bulls are running on Wall Street as never before. Oh well; Oh, well. You'll get over it, I know. As if it touches you at all (what Merle sees clearly, points out, and kindly and concernedly advises).
