And if you complain about windy generalities that is because you are afraid or part of a sucking black hole.

It's a completely circular and self referential world for Mr. Smart. I don't think there's anyway to break the cycle of endless platitudes.

Jibbee....

>>Forget about you? Then why don't YOU forget about ME?>>

Because I chose not to. I will remember you for I chose not to judge you and your contributions.

>>Perhaps your "YOU" is addressed to the world in general, not me specifically, but it comes across as very condescending and very offensive. (And very "labelling.")>>

You want to corner or pin "me" down. I'm sorry I'm not playing these games with you for my focus is not on "us."

>>For example:

But if you take a moment to risk helping and serving someone I think you will find this yourself.

Such effrontery! I'll bet you dollars to donuts that I have taken many more such moments than you ever have.>>

It doesn't matter how many or few moments any of us have had. For love does not keep score. The last moment is all that matters.

>>To every concrete situation, you respond with windy generalities.>>

No, I just chose not to pick up a gun. Why? Because I have that freedom and I chose to go higher than this quid pro qup, tit for tat, judgmental score keeping.

Do you know how easy it is to turn on a light? Even if I chose to NOT turn my light on, you can and vis. versa.

There's not point to dividing, judging, labelling, defining and conquering. And if this sounds "windy" I'm sorry.

Here I am jibbee. I'm chosing a fellow over there who I can help. If you chose to not be part of this now then fine. There's always tomorrow.

Peace.
