I have read 3 of your books. I enjoyed them all. You are very talented and deserve to know you are.

I wish you peace, love and better body image. You are not a fat fuck. Get over that.

Yup, we assign value to words. The other person could be saying those words in a different language, screaming, and we might look at them and laugh at this crazy person in front of us. It is us that places meaning/value on their words. This leads nicely in to another thought... That we are the creators of our own reality.

I am proof as well. I had quite a temper young, but have mostly reformed.

Outstanding piece. Love it. But as you imply, it takes years of development to get to this point. We might need a different solution for young people who haven't yet had the opportunity to develop.

I completely agree. Anger poisons your thought process. I believe in God. I also think Jesus was right that we should be kind to each other. I really like (love?) your internet site.

More living proof right here. Used to be a wrench-whipping hothead, and I sure don’t miss acting that way. But, I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t creep up on me sometimes—it’s still a challenge to manage but feels good to put that nonsense to bed.

Well done. Borderline "Genius". Hell, it was "Genius". Enjoy reading your thoughts both financial and non-financial.

This appeals to my libertarian leanings! I don't easily get "offended", hurt perhaps but that also takes a ton of effort and I can't remember the last time I was. I do believe in community standards in the public square but I don't wish to impose it on everyone unless you're hell-bent on screaming fire in a crowded theater.
