Yup, I can see how your belief that "most" people are like this attracts those types of people to you all the time. I prefer to offer advice that will help the ones that aren't like that, even if it's just a few of them, instead of offering advice that is "safe for everyone". As for the "sheep" that you speak of, perhaps they need a few "disasters" to teach them the ways of life. Either way, they learn.

That is why I continue the mantra of... "massive action." Just as you... I can only speak from where I come from...
Been there done that. At the expense of my health and personal relationships. I did see success, but I didn's see the type of success I wanted. "work hard" used to be my mantra too, then it got replaced with "work smart", and then when I discovered LoA it changed to "Play". Playing is so much better than working, you have no idea. When you "play", you don't need to focus on "massive action" as the means towards inflicting change in this world; you grow past that. Does one have to "work hard" and "take massive action" when they are having fun with their kids for example? No, it's just PLAY.

The very best to you... it's an honor to cross sword with you...
Thanks. I don't see it as us crossing swords though. If anything, perhaps lightsabres. But even then, I attracted you into my life so I wouldn't fight against such a person, I'd try to learn from it. I wonder why you attracted me into your life.... perhaps "massive action" doesnt' work in solving every problem.... who knows...
