It's not hard to fathom. It's very easy to understand what you are promoting: the age-old mystic fallacy of denying and subordinating "self" to some other person, object or fantasy. Since the self is central to judgment, identity and morality, all you are calling for is a kind of spiritual suicide in the name of selflessness.

I am not confused. My world is not fuzzy, and I take real risks everyday. If you have renounced your "self" then what you said about it is true: For anything "I" say doesn't matter a crock. But those who have a clear world picture, a philosophy that is objective and understand that words have real meaning attached to them, will not fall into your marshmallow. mystical trap.
