I'm the smartest person in the room at least twice a day, usually after I've had coffee.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
I'm the smartest person in the room every night.

I will gladly own that. Me either. I don't think any less of Nym for hating him at all. I don't think anyone should feel guilty for feeling feelings. When you feel bad about having other feelings that creates a real mess. I don't think feelings should attach themselves to other feelings, ideally, I think it's unhealthy--I think instead feelings should attach themselves, ideally, to reality and people and events--but of course if feelings do attach themselves to other feelings, it's healthy to not feel guilty about that either [emoji2] [emoji106] Talking about feelings oneself has about oneself's other feelings of course. Feelings about other people's feelings is absolutely fine: that's empathetic! RE: The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

I am never the smartest person in the room. Unless we're talking common sense. It's those times when people's gardens of common sense are bare, that I have to think for them.
And really, I'm not getting paid to do that. Thinking for others is hard work. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.

Anger and hatred are an undeniable part of human nature, so no, I don't think any less of you for feeling that way... to each their own [ways of dealing with the world]. You have your way and I have my way so it makes no difference to me... I love you just the way you are But nonetheless, my way is different; I don't like being in anger, regardless of how justified it feels... I don't like how it makes me feel or behave, or all the stuff that it leads to... hate, blame, grudges etc. I don't want to spend my life in those states because they are unpleasant. So though I can get caught up in it just as much as anyone else, because it's human nature, as soon as I become aware of it, I try for my own sake just as much as anyone else's, to detach from it... to no longer feed it, even if it would be satisfying to do so. To step back from it and understand it and the situation as a whole, as objectively as possible. So as much as I've had grudges in the past, and wanted to and imagined getting even, I don't do that any more, ever since I realised that it was a short-term buzz that only served to keep anger, blame, and hate alive in the long term. A case of giving up a short term high for the sake of the greater good, and I've never regretted that decision... whatever shit's going on in my life I feel much more peaceful as a result. But this is just me... as I said, to each their own
