Just thought I'd share something with you that I think you'll appreciate.
First, if you have never heard of the blog called Wait but Why, you need to check it out beyond just the article I'm posting here. Some GREAT stuff on there.
So, this particular article is one that I think you all will enjoy if you have the time and patience to get through the whole thing. It's pretty dang long, but worth the read.
Pretty much everything he says here is stuff I had already thought of, and you probably have too... (and ironically very relevant to my faith, so perhaps we're not so different after all!) ...but the way he illustrates it and lays it all out is pretty awesome!
Take a look when you have some time, you won't be disappointed, I promise!

Any thoughts?
I'm at work so I only got to skim but I'll read its entirety later.
Initial thoughts;
Seems like a self help blog post for people who want to ascend from the mire of shitty/basic human behavior. Personally I found the language just vague enough to make me think of Chopra but I might change my mind when I examine it more closely.
Cool, I hope you find it interesting!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
