Black heart day
yes, I did have a bad day. And yes, I am venting. Which is why I posted here.
DalekTek: You said, “I think you engage in flights of fancy” during a chat. And you did not further explain yourself. Instead you said, “I am the most logical person you will ever meet.” I was feeling pretty mellow that night, and didn’t want to deal with such statements.
I let it go for a time, no big deal. Then I get hit with these three stories in one day, taking me back to the subjects I brought up in that chat. And then I remembered your statements and I got a little more angry. Then I thought of that little crack about logic. And then I thought about dreamers, Da Vinci, Gallileo (sp?), Michealangelo and the people who thought they indulged in flights of fancy when they should have been in the fields or the stables. I’m thinking about a young man sitting in the middle of the United States who seems to be too logical to admit to being a human.
Aleck didn’t “get to me”, your attitude did. Your opinion counts as does mine. But your opinion counts a little less when you use demeaning phrases like “flights of fancy.” It is further diminished when you say “I am the most logical person you will ever meet.” A wise man is a humble man. Let your intelligence show through and the people around you will form their own opinions. Don’t encourage bad opinions by insulting, demeaning or trying to make someone feel they are less than you seem to feel you are. That will never get you anywhere. No person is BETTER than another, only different. It would do you good to remember that.
