ABC please stop acting like I'm your pupil. It comes off as condescending and arrogant.

That is perhaps one of the biggest things you fail to see in the politics thread, Warb. We are all pupils in this life, and everyone around us is a teacher. What we learn from them and take from our interactions with them is up to us, but even the most worthless person has valuable lessons to teach us.

You youself have taught me many things in our interactions, and you've more than once put me to shame and made me realize what an awful student I can sometimes be.

I still feel that negative mental intake can be, and probably most of the time is, quite detrimental to emotional peace.

I know it's gonna look stupid but, why don't you try to feel something else ? ;)

I guess you have a point. I may very well be trying to "attack" things that I suspect are my greatest foes, when in actuallity, the problem lies more close to home. Taking that first step to calming down is where I fail the hardest.
