If I had to operate with your set of valuations, I would feel very queasy about the state of the "knowledge" that I had acuumulated. I know you don't agree with this, but I just couldn't do it.

You are probably correct in that many of the differences that we have on Crevo threads are due to the above lists and those differences are probably insurmountable.

The bottom line is that we have to be comfortable with ourselves, even while we are in conflict with others.

Indeed, furball4paws! That is why I am finding this thread so wonderfully illuminating. The more I understand you, personally, the better I can understand your posts and engage with you productively.

But how does one accomplish this? How can we be "comfortable" with ourselves while we are "in conflict with others?"

Sounds like the description of a bad case of hubris to me....
