Fake Know-It-All

[ArthurHung]

Since I was very young I have not really been too wealthy in the general knowledge department. Not well travelled, and unable to be a truly good understander of the stacks of books I would read at any one time in my life because of a lack of experience. Even my last post regarding Steve's visualization technique was tainted by not properly reading the post, thinking that it's such a simple thing when in fact I have never done that thing!

referring to: feeling blessed

I have for quite a long time, until since... yesterday, thought to myself that for certain things "I just knew the truth". I would think that, if certain people just fixed that one major flaw within themselves (stop smoking, lose weight, quit their job, leave their abusive spouse etc) they would magically improve their lives by 1000%. However, nowadays I'm more inclined to think that, largely through talking with friends, that what I consider "facts" are simply my opinions. And that you don't really know someone until you've known them for 10 years +.

So I'm having trouble deciding how to go about "bear bombing/fireworking". After reading that post last year, I was quite actively doing what I thought was that, however, after some revelationary conversations, I realized that while that may be good for someone like Steve; perhaps that's really not the medium in which someone like me should use to help others. Or maybe I'm just not at that level yet? I'm really not sure.
