I'm sorry the on topic remarks I've made here haven't been sufficiently meaty for you. I don't know whose "tribe" you think I'm fighting for. I agree with G.T. and now Ding that Jung's theory--that what we hate in others is what we hate in ourselves--is not always the case.So you can see me! I figured I was on ignore.Old Lady: will you knock it off, with your duplicitous backstabbing. Please.
William Hazlitt was an English essayist, drama and literary critic, painter, social commentator, and philosopher. He is now considered one of the greatest critics and essayists in the history of the English language, placed in the company of Samuel Johnson and George Orwell. Wikipedia
Died: September 18, 1830, Soho, London, United Kingdom.
So he was a man of his time. He also wrote a book about plain speaking. Something you do not do, instead,resorting to mean spirited sideswipes.
What have you to say about the Great Man's ideas, Mindful? It's your OP. I honestly haven't seen you do anything but Mindlessly quip nonsense with ding and G.T. If I missed something of substance, I apologize.
See? You did it again. You just can't help yourself. Judgemental and sanctimonious.
Neither of them, as yet, have put any meat on the table, for me to get my teeth into. Nor have you.The narrative has to be on their terms. With a sprinkling of gotcha games.
I realise you are all tribal. Hostile to interlopers.
I felt sorry for Hazlitt, reading that excerpt. He sounded frustrated and defeated, to me. I didn't mean any disrespect to him.
I don't agree with Ding's theory either.
But he and GT were ramming their own egos down my throat, I hardly had room to breathe, let alone find my way around their rabbit holes.
