[b]"Compassion can be a weapon too, and is often used as such. Do you pity yourself, too?[/b] _Pandora
No, that’s more your projection and usually from someone who conflates elements which for some reason or another they can’t handle separately. Did someone ever use compassion as a weapon on you?
If I really pitied myself I wouldn’t even bother being in this discussion. I’d be shooting up Heroin and reading, 'Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?"
Thankfully, for myself it’s more like decaffeinated green tea and reading, “Horton Hears A Who!”
[b]“Your arguments revolve around promoting self-pity, compassion (another form of self-pity), and ultimately, dependency.”[/b]
Seems like a neat little package you got there, but it’s a self-serving one. Very few things in life are as simple as wash-rinse-repeat.
Anyone who has really read my initial response to Mr. Horde will note that if I promoted anything it was information about the manufactured higher levels of THC through hybridization and the consequences of that in the increase of cases involving withdrawal symptoms. And along with that the matter of personal information and issues about dispensary/government use of information. If I promoted anything to Mr Horde it was caution, but he seems more than able to recognize such and so it’s simply another talking point in the discussion.
[b]“For such people, the latter serves as an easier excuse to stay in their comfort zone of being innocent victims of external events.” [/b]
Too bad you weren’t around to counsel someone like Richard Phillips about comfort zones.
[b]“Yes, that’s what the future Muslims jihadists who will be terrorizing your children and grandchildren will be saying too.”[/b]
Be so kind as to explain to me the connection between the horrible injustice of caging innocent children and Muslim jihadists. Or would that be too much of a personal exposition?
