>Somewhat. The thing is that the catchy but inadequate phrase "you have reprogrammed yourself" is drawn from the context of how this conversation, right here in this thread, was going when I steered onto this course. Depending on where the conversation comes up the "actual wisdom" might be described as something totally different, because since it actually has to be experienced there really is no valid binding description.
Yes, that makes total sense to me. Of course every wisdom sounds conventional in the context of a forum based opinion-exchange anyway, unless your name is Kyriakos
>I don't mind, because I myself used all of that and more to try to derail the conversation when it was me on the other side. It's interesting that you say "that my
friend bestowed on me" because we weren't friends. Looking back I am always astonished at the commitment shown because I was just another face in the crowd to her, really, and an unruly and difficult one at that. We certainly became friends after and had plenty of laughs about how I chose to go through the process, which she describes as 'kicking and screaming all the way.' But, ultimately, pretty much everyone I've seen through it can be described that way, to some extent.
Not only did I wrongly assume the person, who you did not call your friend, was a friend, I also assumed it was a male. What that says about me.. Let's not get into that
It's odd really, only one person has ever really given me an epiphany, but even then it was not in the context of a conversation, rather just by the virtue of being a partner. All those epiphanies they come to me at the most unfitting moments, almost always when I'm alone and not thinking too hard.
>I also wouldn't use the phrase "turned life around." That falls genuinely short of the quality of the disconnection. How I be human since is not "turned around from" before, it is unrelated.
Yeah, poor choice of words on my part. Disconnected fits much better. Anyway, thank you for the conversation, I hope I could show you that the driving force never was to question/argue your point, rather just genuine interest.
