Dear _psy,

I do not think that you are being wise to reveal yourself to be scrutinized by anyone who happens to read what you have written about yourself. Honestly, you do not know what is in the mind of the person who reads what you have written. There are no doubt, some that read what you have written, have good intentions. Then there are others, whose intentions you do not know. I write this, to make you aware that the readers here, are all different, and that you should proceed with caution, whatever you write about yourself.

we like dark areas





write what you want
we'll analyse



people are honest though, so make sure you want to hear the truth

rich, I'm surprised...I expected at least you to be totally honest...
There is a saying which, in my experience, has some deepness, that a man sees the world through his eyes... with other words, he's expecting from the others what he is prepared to offer.
When I joined this forum, about half a year ago, after reading some threads, I felt that most people are not totally honest, not sharing without limits, but being careful, and timid, like stepping on ice...
This not about common honesty, but about that honesty in fully sharing your thoughts, feeling, experiences and hopes...
This is why I got a bit mad on everyone, saying that "you're avoiding the real debate", you're saying what others thought before without believing it truly, only because it was some big name
....but I DO NOT CARE...I will still say what I think, even if it's stupid or wrong...because in fact this is what philosophers do...describing the world adn life they experience, filtered by their minds...if it was a genius mind, it had a chance to be remembered by posterity, to have his thoughts and ideas shared or respected by the others.
In time I realized that, in fact, new personalities are being created, new images of yourself, here on this site....you all are trying to protect your image inside here...to avoid contradicting yourself... trying to be consistent along the way....
I felt the same need at one moment...got a bit caught in the same wave of my own image...tempted sometimes to refrain myself in being completely honest… but I lost contact... I felt the need to quit for a while to digest my own sayings.

I'm coming back; from time to time... when I feel I have some more experience and thoughts to share...when maybe I fell the need to be shown right or wrong in other people’s eyes...and I’m honest. I’m more honest here than I’ve ever been with anyone in my whole life…because I do not share my life or my name but only my thoughts…and I try not to be afraid.
So, _psy… don’t listen to them…do not by “wise”…you will not find what you’re looking for, being wise. Be honest…and you will get some honest feedback. And I can assure you…there are more like me inside here among members…and a lot more among the watchers.
