Mike, You wrote that you felt that you were of no importance and that all you wanted to do was make other people happy. This sounded like your own happiness was unimportant to you, that you would not attempt to make yourself happy, only others. I never said that I thought you were, or that you said you were, unhappy.
I was asking you if I understood you correctly and I was expressing how I felt about what you said in my own life and put forth what associations came up from my own studies, thoughts and experience. I appreciated what you said as a philosophical approach to life and thought there could have been an interesting dialogue about it. I am used to having abstract and philosophical discussions. I enjoy them - especially when I’m talking in a friendly way with someone who disagrees with me. It helps me to grow. I have met many people who have changed my life in fabulous ways through discussing with me why they believed or thought differently or how they looked on things from a different angle.
If you don't want people to respond to you, this probably isn't such a great place to write out your thoughts because people do respond on sites like this and ask questions and try to interpret what you are talking about and then comment on it.
I will just chalk up your hostility to youthful insecurity or inexperience since you say you are only 21 ... and/or my lack of communication/writing skills. You say that I would be happier if I wasn’t “so concerned with how others live their lives”. Usually, it makes me very happy to get to know people, care about them and learn from them. I will not stop being interested in or concerned about others because you did not appreciate my attention. You seem to take what I say as personal affronts and challenges, and your reactions have gotten quite intensely negative therefore, I will do what you have asked me to and “let it be” – at least when it comes to you. Now that I have explained to you that I meant no affrontry and no harm I would like to end this and any other conversations between us for now. Maybe we can try again at a later date if it can be done in a kindlier spirit.
Wishing you light, happiness, blessings and all good things,
Greenbunny
