Also: I’d like you to notice something, something easy to take for granted:
Are you working on changing the world at present in this conversation?
Or are you working on influencing my way of thinking?
*YOU* are working on the same thing I’m working on: influencing what you can, which would be me.
Are you bowing out of the world by taking the time to influence me?
Am I bowing out of the world by taking the time to influence you?
I don’t think we are at all. Points for consideration, dismissible as well.
