As usual, you accuse ME of doing something:-
1) Without knowing ANY of the facts!
2) While committing EXACTLY the things you accuse ME of!
For your information.... unlike YOU.... I do NOT believe I am ANY sort of SAINT! I am fully aware of MY faults as I know them SO well! Like most people, I fall WELL short of my own expectations.... but unlike YOURSELF, the action of 'failing' does NOT suddenly make it ACCEPTABLE J*U*S*T becasue I DO it!! I do NOT need to pretend that what I actually DO is any sort of 'Icon' that should be FOLLOWED!
This is a difference between RATIONAL and DELUDED people:-
Rational: I fail, I KNOW I fail and I will try my BEST to STOP failing.
Delusional: I KNOW that I fail BUT... I will PRETEND that I have some sort of RIGHT to fail just so I can feel like a SAINT about my failings..... by pretending they are NOT!
*******
Secondly, I have known Dave (QoT) for 40 odd years and we have DRIVEN together. I know he is a VERY responsible driver (I've even let him drive MY cars!) and HE knows that I am NOT a saint! However, WE both realise that what we DO does NOT allow us to JUSTIFY our actions.
You really COULD learn from Dave!
