It’s much more my style to make the relevant points and try and point folks to learning principles that they can better apply in their lives.
. . .
I’ve found that folks who are eager for growth are very quick and able to get the meat and spit out the bones from whatever I offer.
And folks who balk, kick up a fuss, rationalize 12 ways to Sunday . . . are unlikely to be persuaded by a 12 foot high stack of solid research and other “proof.”
OK, it's a deal! I'll scale back my unreasonable demand for 12.0 feet (3657.6 mm) of evidence to instead just one single piece of evidence from MM's writings that his mother is guilty of child abuse (but only do so if it doesn't violate your style).
