Great Swan, I haven't taken the time to search for all your responses to my posts, lazy here, but could you please inform me why you have taken the time to smack at my ego? It's not just my latest post that's triggering you, but instead, it seems my whole history of posting has your chain pulled -- and not in a good way. Yeah, my ego deserves a smack, by why did you elect yourself to be the one who does it? Seems to me that your ego is, um, thinking highly of its own opinions too. As for my suggestion, sue me, but I like this kind of "silly analysis," and if my ego finds some sort of rationale for thinking itself "better" than others' egos, say, because I valued my prolixity over the brevity of other posters, what the fuck is it to you that I'm indulging in this "egoic sin of attachment?" Er, are you my guru, my psychologist, my punisher, my teacher, my WHAT???? Or, are you flogging me publicly for the general instruction and common weal? Are you sorta a Don Quixote tilting at my windmills? Of all the ills of the world caused by egoic attachment, I'm your target? Why am I so special to you when the whole world's darkness is founded upon the much more potent attachments of others in the world? Should I be "honored" to have gotten your attention when life is awash with far more odious examples of ego? Seems to me, since I don't think I've personally attacked you in previous posts (inform me if I have done so, please)I'm thinking maybe you have an issue that has little to do with me. I do read all of your posts, and do so eagerly. I like how you tick. Get it? I'm wondering why I like you so much and have agreed with you so much, yet still, despite that harmony, I've managed only to achieve your disdain. Can you clear all this up for me? Did I get nasty on your ass in the past and I'm still being punished for that, or are you, like, dusting the FFL furniture -- just a little job to keep things tidy here? How do you see yourself in all this? Edg >
