I am giving Pablo the opportunity to hook me once again. I keep telling myself it's because I want to be understood but why would I value being understood by someone who has no interest in understanding me? It reminds me of a horror film. You are all screaming, "Don't open the door" and like a dolt I do it every time. Oh well, here's what I told Pablo.
Pablo,
I’m sorry, did you have something else to disagree with me on?
While you think up of some new way to twist my words so
that you can cram me into the pigeonhole you think I belong in, I’d like to
share this poem by Shel Silverstein with you, Titled, The Meehoo with an
Exactlywatt. It reminds me our dialogue and our inability to communicative
effectively with one another.
The Meehoo with an Exactlywatt
by
Shel Silverstein
Knock

What's
what you want to know?
Me,
WHO?
Yes,
exactly!
Exactly
what?
Yes, I
have an Exactlywatt on a chain!
Exactly
what on a chain?
Yes!
Yes
what?
No,
Exactlywatt!
That's
what I want to know!
I told
you - Exactlywatt!
Exactly
WHAT?
Yes!
Yes
what?
Yes,
it's with me!
What's
with you?
Exactlywatt

Me who?
Yes!
GO
AWAY!
Knock
knock...

Very interesting, Pablo. I would say you did a good job at keeping in the discussion category :) It is sad that he can only believe in what he can see in front of him. I felt a little sick inside reading his views.
Yeah...that "little sick feeling" is what I felt when I read the book The Infidel. I would have loved to explain it to him, but he wouldn't listen to me.
FYI: the book that spurred the discussion/argument was "The Infidel"
I read your discussions with Pablo and thought you handled yourself beautifully. I read people like him and I just figure they'll work it out eventually, but you really go for it! Way to go, G!
Ugh. I cannot believe I got sucked in. I feel dirty.
