I think I’m a better person now than I was 10 years ago, and I’m certainly a much better one than I was 20 years ago. That might not be saying much, but the point is that as we get older, we become more and more aware of our faults, and, hopefully, try to correct them.

I find that this forum, with its facility to say pretty much what you like to who you like, and to behave pretty much how you like towards them, provides an excellent opportunity to fast track that process of self-analysis. Being here certainly helps me to identify the things I need to work on much quicker than would otherwise have been the case.

To the people who have been most instrumental in helping me to identify the worst of my faults, I can only apologise.

I think you would make the best cs GREETER if cs had a front door. You could be waemly welcoming as well as demonstrate self flagellation for oneself with branches.

Technically you are me. Don't ask me to break that down for the layperson. giggle


A better person there cannot be, you or me; but, a more enlightened me in the sense of knowing thyself as they say.

Those who present some triggers (negative emotional reactions) to us are perhaps the most useful of people when you approach them with as much love of self as one can muster in order to discover why that trigger is a trigger at all. I call these blessings waiting to be unwrapped.

I have dated women purely because they triggered something in me. Of course there are other reasons to date women... like, great conversations, sparks of horniness, awesome meals, or beautiful quiet moments staring at the new port-potty you just bought for a cross country trip in the new mobile tiny house you built. batting

I'm not sure I would want to be in the position of warmly welcoming anybody when I know I might well find myself deeply upsetting them soon after. sigh

'The consolations of philosophy'. This short book is a good intro into the philosophers for beginners like myself.

But, but ... then you saying you have identified the worst of your faults is like joe biden telling Americans that gas prices weren't on the rise until Putin invaded ukraine. sigh
