    I’m going to take a break from the forum for 3 weeks. Be well.
  3. Everything is perfect?

    Exactly. Sweeping statements attributing them to ā€˜we’ . Please exclude me from your ā€˜we’. Wee wee pee pee.

    Every cloud has a silver lining.
  5. "Spirit" in the DDJ

    Yes, very true. This is a pitfall for native speakers. But it doesn’t affect me as I do not use a modern-mandarin dictionary. Anyway, I leave it up to the palaeographers to sort all that, way beyond my scope. I just use their findings as they are presented in the Kroll dictionary.

    Exactly. I’m not going to slag off my old self with my new self. I remember the old self was well-intentioned.

  12. Let's Talk About Enlightenment(s)

    I agree, it’s one’s ā€œfeelings and beliefsā€. I agree. Thank you very much for sharing. I haven’t read ā€œAll of western philosophyā€ but as far as I have read, I am inclined to agree.

    So do I , ime it prevents futile arguments
  14. Broken Tulips

    @Unota Huh … why the like? I am being serious, that’s my opinion.
  15. Broken Tulips

    @Unota I knew about it. I’m against all forms of interference in the sex life of plants (and animals too).
  16. You and Wu in Chapter One

    That answers my question. Thanks for elucidating.
  17. You and Wu in Chapter One

    Nice red herring. Now back to my question
