They are.
Of course, if you live to 79 and have accomplished a lot of significant things then you would also be proud of them fren. People are often uncomfortable with others who have pride in their lives, who have lots of adventures and success, and their own insecurities make the lash out like you are doing.
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. "Rudyard Kipling (1865--1936)
Your continued ragging on me is getting tiring. You are offering nothing of substance but judgement. No questions, just accusations. Get it?
You are now just talking out your butt. I have read hundreds of books as well as writing four as I said. I can tear down my macs to their frames and rebuild them and hack my OS. You are fantasizing some bumbling old guy here and you are way off target young dude. I ride a motorcycle, lift weights, make love with my 38 yo honey, and more. You are out of your league ragging on me.
That is honest and I would offer that it might be something for you to examine, why you would assume that someone is “looking down on anything” because it has the indication of a wound of some sort. Yeah, I was a psychiatric social work specialist so I am coming from that discipline.
I hope you show the restraint that I have shown with your constant attack and assumptions on me.
When you say "I have a real life", I know everything I need to know about you. Its the biggest tell on the net. Maybe go look up hedging in chat. You've been around the net so long, you should get the concept, right?
Stay frosty out there.
I'm not trying to reduce ANY risk fren. I have taken them all my life and have the scars that remind me.
The difficulty of comment box philosophy is it limits the communication process. I write something, hours later I get a reply, hours later you get mine, etc. :-/
From my perspective in actual life experience there is a significant difference in generations. I often sought out older, wiser men and women to harvest their ideas and insights. Not that I would embrace them all but they would be tools for future experience.
The people under maybe 50 or so that I encounter have a lot of difficulty in accepting someone else may know more then them. Elders are no longer respected for their gifts. It is a youth oriented society. From my counselling days I would say it is a narcisstic condtion. Unable to empathize, appologize, must always be right, etc.
Having studied with Native American and other tribal elders I 'get' what it is about. With a high IQ and high level of curiosity I have filled my life with a quest for knowlege and truths.
When I encounter on line some young guy who has a minimal amount of life experiece and consciousness exploration it is very frustrating. I get the similar responce as the guy above. Insecurity leads to striking out. Sort of like "Piggy" in the book Lord of the Flies.
Best for us all now...
