You're probably right about the ego food. Saying that, I feel that Wilde is being his true self-at least that's the impression I get from someone I don't even know. If I am being my true self and someone else comes along and chooses to take what I'm giving out and build their ego on that, should I stop being me? It's hard enough to "know thyself" and live by it without trying to second guess others. Reading all the posts displayed here, I learn a lot from all of you. Taking that learning I choose what to do with it. Are you responsiblle for that choice? Not in my book. I am. Sometimes I pooh-pooh all your posts(sorry), sometimes I watch your opinions fly right over my head, and sometimes the light bulb glows over my head. That all comes from me, not you. What people do with Wildes words is up to them.
OK,I'd like to hear all the other opinions. Just keep it simple, small words, and speak slowly. Some of us are still cleansing and in a brain fog.LOL
