RE: A Real Partner
A little tip Mike (@rortian): I notice that you often write the name of the person you are replying to without the @ symbol. If you want to tag that person in a way that they will see it, then it is better for you to use @ and the username. In this case, @zeusqraqen. Hope that helps!
Sure it helps. Thank you.
Even hearing your "voice" is important to me at this point. I've been wondering about how you've been doing, and I've missed hearing from you.
I trust that you'll get back to us with your next chapter when you'll be ready, @yvesoler.
best regards and best wishes
I have class from 9.00 to 19.00 on Fridays and Saturdays, so I tend to stay away from the computer. My intention is always to jump back on on Sundays, but while I do get here, my brain is not prepared for deep thought as I am still processing what my professors taught the previous two days and getting ready for the week ahead. Hope to be back in critical thinking mode by tomorrow!
I trust that you win't hurry on my accoun!
Here's how I deal with abstract values like patience (or goodness, or moderation or any good idea) that I want to apply as a commitment.
I'm striving for infinite patience (which of course is an ideal abstraction, like any value), while understanding that nobody's perfect and that it's silly to equate practical results with abstract values.
They occupy different metaphysical spaces. They're comprised of different substances; that's why nobody's perfect, faultless, or saintly (well, not in my experience, and in not in my theory).
This is a preamble to my diatribe on labeling, categorizing, soon to be made public. I'm working on a list of things to blog about while I sit back, listen, and chat.
So, please burst into prose whenever you've figured out what you most want to get to next and what your approach oughta be.
BTW, do you have an opinion about my very bold assertion about being a judgment-free zone? I suppose that I should publish a caveat about my commitment to imperfection before my friends here are turned off by my claiming the impossible!
In all honesty, I am not able to keep up with all the posts, sorry. This is your main area of research, so it makes perfect sense for you to crank out a post a day plus long comments on these topics. Mine is different, so I am falling behind trying to keep up with the emotional and philosophical exploration in addition to my already full plant research plate. Someone has to bring home the bacon and solve the world's problem with plant blindness around here! :)
I may need to take a step back and slow down my rate of response. I still want to connect, but at a pace that is friendlier to my own future developments.
OK. No worries.
