No matter what you meant to communicate, the response you get indicates what you did communicate
M. Micheals

ok, I've ranted in this journal, I've raved and I've got reactions.

What I achieved though all that besides publicly stating my position and learning valuable lessons about consequences and responsibility as a result of doing so, is questionable.

So let me point you in the direction of somebody a little older and I suspect much wiser than this poor fool.

[link]

"It is really not important to be right, nor shameful to discover one has been wrong. Each of us has a right to decide what to believe, and none has a right to insist that others believe the same.

It can be helpful to offer information. But don't forget that in most cases, if the person who rejects your viewpoint is really mistaken, he'll know it eventually.

Be at peace. Differ gracefully. If a friend seems also occasionally to be a fool, remember that the Divine Fool wears a lot of hats and is bl3essed in any of them."


I can recommend all of the Amethyst Lectures.
I guarantee they will give you food for thought and it's pretty wholesome food in my opinion.

Let me know what you think.

I checked out the link and read a few of the lectures. I really enjoyed them. When I have more time, I will finish reading the rest. Thanks for the reference! :heart:

Glad you like them :)
I keep taking little bits away and pondering them and then going back for more. There always seems to be something new.

I can see why. I'll probably be doing the same! :)

I'm totally into self-improvement and becoming a better person. :)

What a fantastic reference to share! I really like the quote you opened with as well. The same idea was presented to us in the Art Institute when discussing "artist's intent." One of my profs told us whenever we look at our work to consider if it is complete, we must ask ourselves a hundred years from now what will the viewers of it think? What does it convey? Because we won't be there to explain it....and the little museum card with our explanation might be lost....and it may be nothing more than a scribble on canvas or a strip of negatives, or a dvd or a book missing its cover.....so...is it done? Does it really convey what you want it to?

The other students hated him. They thought he was mean and harsh but, I loved the guy...because I always thought he got it. you know? He got it.

I learned a lot from him. And I learn a lot from you too. You are a very deep person in the shallows of our intellectually thin society. :D

:hug:
That's how your comment made me feel when I read it, so I'm sending one back :D
I think I'd have liked your professor.
