That speaks volumes of your character.
I read Lodewijk's comment as a generalised statement on the current predominant nature of 'Western' (perhaps all) people. As in "how things are" not "how I am and how I want the world to be".
Character attack is sometimes not be in the interests of constructive dialogue.
I said it spoke volumes of his character; kind of up to the reader to decide what that is, eh? I'm not intentionally attacking his character. I think it was an expression of cumulative exasperation. It feels as though we are speaking from different dimensions; just not connecting. I was also really busy when I wrote that. I should be more cognizant; it's difficult enough to convey ideas across the ether as it is.
Inspiration for a 'better' world is a good thing. Resignation over the current world is a common thing. Finding a point of compassion in our conversations with each other is something I have failed at too many times.
Another reason why you've rarely seen me comment in the political threads. Misanthropia needs to work on her communication skills, imagine that :) -Shelley
