On Judging Others

what do you mean he's heartless? DL is making the point that rendering a person as nothing more than an object of pity is wrong, and they are more than that even with the pysical problem they have substained i don't think he is saying what you are claiming, imo from his post he sees the fact that a person who feels empathy for a lost limb is not really very useful or meaningful to the person they have empathy for, so its more like "Wow that must have sucked for that guy, oh well.." if you think about it, whats the point of doing that? at work i could do the same thing from someone with a blackeye as an example, but the emotion would be better used by asking what happened to themyou call that offensive? i don't think you ever really thought about it from the pitied persons prespective, would you want to be pitied or talked to? or understood? i see a lot of people who have missing limbs and fingers and such and they want to be treated like normal human beings not pitied! you use the pc boogeyman so much this nonsense is meaningless, just give up on it and try to think outside the box for once

what do you mean dispicable? i would think with your level of cynicism that you would agree with DL, most people truely don't care if they think they can't do anything, so they watch to see what happens next, thats why people are trained to herd them to do things

yes because from your post, you show you arn't? i mean you show how truely mature you are just from this, grow up faith..

teach you to read maybe?, i wasn't calling people names, now was i? i guess as people have said you can dish it out but you can't take itas for judging others, it is making statements that apply to others but not to yourself, such as the pharisees would make laws that they wouldn't followEdited by ReverendDG, : addon

i could say the same thing about you, since you seem to not come up with anything resembling anything other than ad-hom attacks

i guess if you want to look at that way, i don't, i consider teaching to be a meaningful thing, and you are useful to other people i should have said the emotion is not very useful or meaningful not the person, the person can do more than pity the disabled, talk to the person for instance, who ever said it was always full of baby birds and flowers?
the people who posted about how happy in the world they are focused on the happy things in life, you from your posts, did not, that seems to be the difference

considering how bleak you started to make it out to be i can see why jar said the things he did no, that really wasn't 'balancing' anything, you make everything out to be arbitrary when a lot of things have a basis for what ever reason yes, i do, you got problem with that? my reason is you are tipping it the other way in to total cynicism when it should be a good balance of both struggle and joy, i agree its not all happiness, you shouldn't dwell on the pain though it leads nowear
