{Let me start by apologizing to the other members of the forum. What follows is a, far of a deviation from the topic, as I can imagine. However since this started on this thread, I shall respond on it.}

If you disagree with the reasons I argue with then that is your prerogative but from the fact alone that I respond based on reasoning should tell you that I don't mean to be arrogant and it is just the way you perceive things.

If someones opinion differs from my own, it is not a problem to me but what you seem to mistake for arrogance is just me tackling an issue the way I am used to tackling it. If someones opinion is based on ignorance and they let it be known on this forum, then it's an invitation for that opinion and what it is founded on, to be discussed, disputed and even ridiculed if the opinion is silly enough.

Your statement drips with the attitude of which I have spoken. You are like a warrior, who can find no true enemy. Your heart becomes restless, so try to appease it by making your own battles. I fear that you will fight these battles everyday. You try to use your intellect like a weapon. However you try to fight to many enemies. You are unfocused. You have taken your war to too many fronts. Your words are still sharp, but they do not cut deep. They can not harm those, with even the lightest of armor. Without question, there are battles that need to be fought in this life. However one needs the ability discern, what requires the warrior, and what requires the teacher.

I know my words will not make you yield and change your ways. Also you are not the only one, on this forum, who shares this behavior. However I would be untrue to myself, if I did not share my observations. I worry for you and those others who share this path, for I fear it shall only lead you to sorrow. I sincerely pray that one day you shall find peace in this life.
