Having this experience has given me context for the Confederation's lighthouse anaology. And that is exactly what I intend to become. A bright one, at that! I still intend to share my interests and thoughts with others, but on a much less serious basis, and only when I suspect highly that such a person would be interested to begin with. If I share any thoughts at all, I will not peruse the topic if mutual interest is not shown.
Thanks for sharing. LightHouse is a great analogy. A light house does not choose to where or to whom to show the light. It just stands by the sea shore throwing light around even if there is no one to heed any attention. It just radiates in the way it can to the best of its ability. It does not turn on and off and try to strategize how to throw the light. It is just being.
I think in the above thread you are talking about having no expectation of any results. You are not hell bent on convincing them that you are right and they are wrong. It is not a contest. You share and then you walk away. Like Jesus said- 'give from the right hand and even the left hand does not know about it'...Or you may chose to just share your presence with them as they are not ready for anything else.
