Too few rules is as bad as too many rules in my opinion.

I've spent a long time figuring out which rules are important and which ones aren't, both in regards to myself and to others.

You're not actually that obtuse are you?

Do tell? Yes--I am that obtuse. Just ask xoxoxoBruce. He'll vouch for me.

Don't mind me TS--I am just reading THE ALPHABET VERSUS THE GODDESS and feeling right-brained, iconic, cyclical, and matriarchal right at the mo.

What the sense of having rules if you just pick and choose which ones you want to go with and which ones you discard? Shouldn't, in that case, they be called suggestions?

Brianna? Obtuse? Probably pig-headed is more apropos, but obtuse works. ;)

I'm trying to read that right now too. I keep falling asleep though. http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/redface.gif

That is sooooo cool! I feel smarter already! Just take it in teeny-tiny doses--I usually chop the chapters up into 1/3 or 1/4 if real intense...coool!! :ivy:

TS is a Capricorn. He can't help but need rules and regs, and can't help but think he's always right on everything....it's not his fault. It's society's fault....don't condemn him 'cause he's inflexible.

:haha:

The idea is to take the time and figure out which ones work best and which ones are dross. Ideas should evolve so that they can retain their applicability. There should be room for change in the rules because situations change.

I'm not just going down the list and picking and choosing. I'm searching for a core of ideas that are valid across a spectrum of situations but resilient enough to stand the test of time. A solid core with fuzzy logic buffer if you will.

Hah hah hah... :meanface:

I'm not inflexible, I'm stalwart, yeah stalwart, and forthright, and stuff like that.

And I am always right. :stickpoke

That's what everyone lets you think cause we don't want to bruise your fragile ego. We figure, let the old man have his moment in the spotlight, what can it hurt, ya know?
