[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4610427, member: 63706"] You have to understand that the world is a complex place, certainly far more complex than any one person can ever comprehend. There are billions of different perspectives on the complex world, so to truly relate understanding from even one person to another is a huge commitment. I don't pretend to believe I can ever fully understand your perspective, nor get you to understand mine. For most it's a chore just to share their perspective, much less explain it. I don't mind giving it a shot when I have a little extra time, and I feel you are sincere and certainly less prone to sarcasm in these exchanges than I am. I feel like I do understand your perspective a little better, though it doesn't mean I will ever see things the same way. You have your knowledge and experience, I have mine, and there is just not enough time to share it all. This human inability to understand each other to a meaningful degree is a big reason why collectivism fails. I've been married over 20 years, I am still getting to know my wife, the fact that we keep at it despite the difficulties makes life beautiful. One of the biggest challenges in conversing with you is that you throw out a lot of information. If I try to cut off one head of the hydra of topics you bring to the conversation, two more take its place. If we can keep it focused to one or two topics at a time, then the conversations can have that much more meaning. [/QUOTE]
