People are not in reality what you perceive them to be here. Look at Shav! One of the kindest and caring of men,.. but hash/- he's full of defilement isn't he? Alas, no! In real life he is indeed not!

Why do my posts appeal ...[text shortened]... ely abundant to pursue unscorned 🙂

Then again, there are some good "characters" here! 😉

I really love tripe. My mother had a recipe for tripe from the old gold-mining town where she was born, and I wish I had the sense to get it from her before she died, but alas, good sense was never my forte.

One major cause of human misery is the arrogance of unrealistic expectation. Many who are not treated the way they would like to be

treated or loved the way they want to be loved become frustrated, angry and bitter. They compound their plight trying to change other

people by nagging and whittling them down. They develop ...[text shortened]... nted psyches. Far better to think rationally in terms of sanity without illusion.

I agree completely GB. People should recognize that other people will never be as smart or caring as you want them to be. So, you should change yourself to be just as much a jerk as they are. It's the only way to get through to the masses.

Treat everyone the way they treat you and you'll never feel bitter again folks. Excellent advice gb

It's actually a mutilization of a Carnegie quote (who himself took it from somewhere else but that's another story)


"When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."

Your reply sentences: #1. Mildly sardonic lie and foil. #2. Shallow non sequitor. #3. False conclusion, unsupported by either effective

dispute of the premise or the corollary facts. #4. False again. The masses read between the lines. #5a. Wrong inference. If anything

treat others better than they deserve. Why stoop to their level. #5b. Nothing in the original post implied anything about feeling bitter.

Your amateur psychological mojo actually provides an object lesson... in how not to think rationally in terms of sanity without illusion.

I suppose it has become traditional to expect marriage to become a manifestation of human misery after the "honeymoon" is over, and therefor many people set out to fulfill that expectation because we certainly become what we think about. On the other hand, some of us recognise that marriage is the melding of two compatible souls who both realise that they w ...[text shortened]... put asunder" The separation of two such souls will indeed be a major cause of human misery.

Way to run a good laugh with a dose of reality! 😠

My dear wife Evelyn used to prepare a 200 year old New England tripe recipe which involved soaking, seasoning, patience and mustard.

Come on GB. Think Bigger.


Your original post was generally speaking about the failings of others. I respond with a failed interpretation of your message, thus proving the original point of your message. I supported your message by providing an obvious foil.

A little disheartened the message didn't get through I am. Perhaps Carnegie was right......
