go in peace my friend, for the waters of your serenity have been perturbed and need to return to calm, then we can reflect in them clearly!

Exactly Robbie!
However I am a proponent of dharma, and I reckon we all have to fullfill our own dharma.
While "peaceful" is the way to go most times I have also read the Baghavad Gita which deals with the issues of war.

It is entirely likely that the pearl is just as irritating to the oyster as the original sand grain was. I am fairly sure that it is not 'beautiful' to the oyster and if anything is likely to put the oyster at risk of being killed for the pearl.

What you must remember is that insults get most of their power from the fact that you respect the insulter's opinion. If you simply ignore him then it will loose most of its sting.

my dear friend, you do not think that the pearl is a valid illustration?

i am unaware of these things, although friends like you and beetle are wont to educate this miserable theist!

You're entirely right as well ,Twitehead. Seems Seitse has put me back on his 'ignore' list and furthur insulted me.
I had asked him to apologize to generalissimo as well and then I would put him back on my 'neutral' list.

I think he thinks I'm going to take the bait and get myself banned.
i would like to post a smiley face but that would just be a lie at this stage. 😕
