betty: The fact is I am losing patience with trying to engage with people who do not live in the same world that I do, who speak an entirely different language, who think like machines. (I am not a machine!) This being the case, real communication is impossible.
Spirited: “It is better for a man to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool in his folly.” Proverbs 17:12
Lacking free will a bear does what a bear must do. Fools freely choose folly and then rationalize on its’ behalf.
So true, dear sister in Christ! Also, bears cannot lie. Either to themselves or to other bears. Only foolish humans can think lying can bring any good into existence. They do not understand that any lie — "white" or "'black" — constitutes a defacement of the Reality in which they themselves must live.
JMHO FWIW.
Thank you ever so much for your insights, dear sister!
