People say I aint personal enough...Heres my first genuine tiff (verbatim) with my G-ddaughter [16]: Me: Of which one of my many virtues might there still be something left to improve upon, Colleen? [Thats what I call Marley...her nickname] Marley: I would say that you dont know when to let things go! For example, my [Alice in] Wonderland epiphany... My point was that I had found a new way of thinking... However, you brought in logic, where I had already made my point... There was no need to take it further. [Note: her use of ellipses...] Me: So my virtue would be that I want to understand people and communicate my understanding of that understanding back for their understanding, like that Habermas guy... But, your point is... that sometimes I might decide that such a transfer of understandings, while they have no limit by rules, are extended, ad infinitum, only by fools.. Marley: You take things too far. Me: But....Aint I funny doin it? Marley: Yes...But there are times when you arent!
