ORIGINAL: DaegonNeo I don't have the energy to argue this point. I regret jumping down DMFParadox's throat. I thought he was trying to just press buttons, and obviously I was wrong. I thougth I'd already said I was. I obviously will not please everyone, reguardless of what I do. Yes, it's possible for me to please everyone some of the time, and some all of the time, but I won't please everyone all the time. Period. I've been fairly respectful so far, although I admit I've been a little bit of an ass in some of my posts. I haven't sworn, or insulted anyone, or even been hostile towards anyone. The way I talk might make me seem as though I'm angry, or spiteful at times, but that's only because I can't give my usual tone of voice, and I can't say that any one of you really knows me yet. Now, I'm going to be working on my attitude, but to be honest, I'm a little tired of sugar-coating everything, so I'm either going to be somewhat blunt, or I'll just refuse to say anything. I've explained myself away, but it seems like a lot of you still want to put in your two cents on my three-sentence posts, instead of actually reading what I've posted. I really don't have the energy to respond to everyone, so if you'd like, consider this consession your own little victory. At the same time, thank you Zevar and January for your input. You two have at least read part of my post, and are pointing out my mistakes. I am seriously grateful for that. Seriously. It's very hard for me to not come off as sarcastic, but I'm being honest here. I will take both of your advice, and adjust my attitude. I need to not come off as too strong. I got it. Please be patient while I put it into practice. Attitudes aren't alterned easily. Any other constructive critisim would be welcome, if either of you have anything to add. Thanks for your well-wishes, but I don't see very many people here looking past my somewhat rough first impression. To begin, I would like to commend you for making a public acknowledgement as is noted in your words regarding the crux of my replies to you. My entries were indeed aimed at hopefully being received as constructive input and not viewed as arrogance, shaming or some cheap shot toward you. I have NO interest or right in speaking in a manner toward anyone in a way that would shame them for where they are in their journey or for any reason, period! It is noble that you realize your weaknesses, as in doing so they can be transformed into strengths. I strive to acknowledge my errors and human weaknesses as without doing so self improvement is impossible. Regarding you mentioning your desire to check your attitude, do know that I have no interest in advocating speedy change. I do hope you realize I was not saying such toward you in my entries. I am a firm believer if that which is not fully integrated within, where it is fully understood on a practical, then it becomes altogether worthless for ones personal growth. I encourage you to remain receptive to constructive input while increasing in your ability to discern the differences between shaming someone VS genuinely speaking into your Life in a constructive manner with no ill will toward you, whatsoever. I fully understand where you are in your process of manhood. I too was a young lad at one time in my Life. No harm done at all. Though I am older now I can only strive for the same as any man. To become wiser as I mature through my choice to yield my human ego unto the power of humility, aye! I wish most well, Lad!
