You suggest that if a car were to hit you and you didn't see it, or know it killed you, then you didn't die. You suggest that if you don't know you are dead, then you aren't dead. You are dead, because other people see you dead. Plants don't grow from partial seeds. They also need water and light. No man can pick and choose from another mans ideas and agree on the same theme. Their themes will be altered. If they cannot agree, then peace will not occur in that conversation. We continue to speak to reach an understanding. If we reach no understanding, then our only understanding will be our disagreement.
You say:
"You make a lot of assumptions. Why do you think I am trying to convince you of anything? Having a conversation, in my world, doesn't mean trying to convince anybody of anything. It means exchanging opinions and points of view."
Then you say:
"The reason why I blog and provide my points of view is to learn from others that might show me different points of view and help me grow. It is also to share the results of my inner research, which might benefit others."
I can't understand you when you contradict yourself.
Why are you trying to grow this seed, if you are only picking and choosing what it needs to be nourished by?
Why do you say it is for you to decide what nourishment makes you grow, when to grow the best way you need the right nourishment? You can help a plant or anything grow better by giving it the correct "ph" level. The ph level has to be the correct one, because you can't just choose what ph level it will grow best in.
