Interesting. So you choose to cling to and profess a higher ideal while attacking others who have similar higher ideals. Are you certain that you're not simply attacking your own beliefs by proxy?
After all, people tend to most strongly fault others for displaying the traits this most dislike in themselves. The way you dismiss the beliefs of people in this
forum as crap, while putting forward equally unprovable and "magical" ideals, would certainly suggest this is happening.
It's very unlikely that you will find either Oneness OR Emptiness by provoking confrontation in this fashion. If you cannot BE the change you wish to see - rather than faulting others for having failed to achieve it - it's likely that you will struggle to ever achieve that change.
I love this reply. Can I hug you? It's beautifully written, plus it's pretty respectful and without hate, insults or the like. Love.

Indeed, you are fighting yourself. You come here to fight against yourself in a public setting. At least you are aware of it to an extent.
