Our pain,

Now I don't agree with much of Mr. Lennon's philosophy. but I do this particular one.

It sounds rather self-absorbed to me.

You say you believe in yourself. I wonder if you can explain all that is implied within that truth claim.


Your tagline is at odds with your stated belief ('in me"), for implicit within it is a distorted version of both the Golden Rule and sanctity of life principle. You see Vacquero, if all you believe in is yourself, then it becomes absolutely necessary for everyone else to not only believe in you, but to care about you too (worship you), in order that the safe society implied within your tagline could become a reality.

>>I just believe in me<<

This is the most meaningless drivel I have ever read.
