And if not ever, that's fine too.(September 23, 2017 at 3:03 pm)BlindedWantsToSee Wrote: I'm sorry. I assure you, no offense was ever meant by anything I said.
I said "normal standards" to avoid specifying that I am OK emotionally, financially, in family relationships, health-wise, etc; but not OK by the standards I postulated in my writings.
I'm not sure what you mean with your question, but I think I can tell the difference between an assertion and it's evidence. I rely on the evidence and advise everyone to do the same. The assertions I make are my best attempt (I know they are lacking, but that's the best I can do for now) to describe the reality I perceive (my interpretation of the evidence that I experience). I don't want to convince anybody of anything. I just hope people will start seeing things for what they are, and will make their own deliberate decisions regarding what to do with their reality.
You neglected to mention psychologically, and that's where the primary issue that you're causing to be suspect lies. This woo-crap you're spouting, religiously based or not, is evidence of a tremendously unhealthy mind. I was not exaggerating that my preadolescent self would think you were crazy or stupid based on what you're claiming here. Since you're claiming you're not religious (and I'll uncharacteristically take you at your word here) then I can't also assume that some form of indoctrination is what made you this way (although it's possible it did, and you escaped whatever form it took and just latched onto something else because of all the damage it did to your psyche) so whether you've just got some defect making you predisposed to believe in utter nonsense or you've been trained like a seal, it's very, very clear that something is not right upstairs.
Your denial of reality notwithstanding, it comes across as enormously condescending when you intransigently claim you've got the right answer and offer spurious 'reasons' for why that is so. You are pretty far behind on your apologies for this disrespect and seem to have only superficial remorse without actually understanding the nature of what you're saying that is so irritating and insulting.
You should really stop, demolish this whole inane hypothesis, go back to the beginning, and try to build it back up. When you realize you fail to do so, you'll be ready to sit at the adults' table. Until then, go stand in the corner while the seven-year-olds tell you you're too little to play with them.

You may disagree, but I think most people will agree that "the whole thing" is singular. It is referring to one thing. In other words, to all individual things taken as one whole thing or system. This discussion is silly.
