I don't think you are always wrong. I think your intentions are sometimes mean spirited. Call it blunt if you want. You claim to not sugar coat things, so why coat it in arsenic? You must know that words can be very powerful. This is one of the differences between you and I, so yes, I am surprised when your comment is logical(and well phrased) from my perspective.
The wise accumulate knowledge through experiences. Scientists acquire information through study. Just being a scientist, doesn't mean they understand all sciences. One of my best friends is a physicist, yet he does not know how to maintain the compost bin. He understands what is going on a hell of a lot more than I do, but he doesn't know how to make it happen. (Yes, I'm really good at making fertile soil.)
Do you understand humility? Someone who has wisdom, does not run around saying they are wise. Of course they have it, but they prove it by being wise, not telling people they are. Same is true for scientists. Saying and doing are not the same action.
You'd be surprised with the amount of "battles" I have had. You may even call them "conversations" if you like. I like to make people ask questions. I like to make people look at a situation from an unfamiliar position. And sometimes, I just like to be the devil's advocate.
I am not an expert on psychology and don't like the field very much. But I do get the sense that you were forced to grow up rather quickly, yet are still very young. (Not trying to be patronizing- but you are young) You have probably seen more painful aspects to life than I can imagine and I am sorry for that. But we all our own experiences that shape us. I do not take this life I have for granted. Why are you so focused on the ugly things that make up this world?
What makes the desire too big to attain? Is it an unrealistic goal or lack of faith in oneself? What do you think is too big that you give up on before even attempting? How does that make you feel?
So I leave you with a quote by Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
I got up to about half of it and couldnt be bothered reading more. Its not that its boring its just I get bored easy, dont think you have said something that I cant say anything back to because there is a few things I can say against what you replied to me and there are just as many good points you have proven against me. I got up to the third paragraph and was too lazy or bored (take your pick) to read the rest.
I want to murder someone.
