You never ask questions? Why not? How do you learn what is reasonable or not if you don't ask questions? Did you get born knowing what was reasonable? Did you join this community knowing everything that is reasonable? Will you know the same next year about what is reasonable as you know today? I was commenting regarding sexual content and topics that can be comprehended only through experience, as different from maturity. In terms of maturity, I heartily agree with you. Age is no indication of maturity, but in most cases it is an indication of experience. There are always exceptions, but one could be conservative without offending anyone. With reference to the difference between someone in their teens, in contrast to their late twenties, or even late forties, there are differences in viewpoints that are not attributed to maturity, but experience. There are obvious exceptions to every rule such as this, and I don't mean to shut someone out. But when dealing with some people who cannot view sexual double entendres because they do not have exposure to sexual experiences and sexual talk, is a factor most attributable to a physical point in age. Also when discussing elements of politics to someone who has not had the need to learn politics yet, that is also often the attribution of age. When discussing many topics that affect the life of a fifty year old, it is often the case that a fifteen year old cannot comprehend it. They may be mature enough for having the will to try, but they are often limited. There are always exceptions, but clearly, the exceptions are just that, exceptions. > Also, you say peace is your responsibility. Peace is > upheld with sincerity, something you obviously lack. I am not warring with you. That is my peace. Peace is upheld with good faith and respect. You could view my sincerity in ways that are in front of you, but you do not seem to wish to. That is not my fault. I don't know you, and you do not know me. If we met on a bus stop someplace and got into a neutral conversation we may be amicable enough to understand that we don't know each other. Too much acceleration is built into these illusory communications on the board. You still have no real knowledge of me. And I, you. To know my sincerity is different than to know my rightness. I could be wrong and be as sincere as if I was right and sincere. The fact of my sincerity is clear in everything I write. I could write in a way that could bring it into question: short brief, unspecific phrases, quick retorts, and the like. Those can mask insincerity in such a way as to almost prove insincerity. But the fact that I use my thought and time to communicate, is proof of my sincerity. I care. Caring is the most important element of sincerity. | |
