He is a fascinating individual to watch and he is a great example of what NOT to develop into.

I would assume that you personally know a good working definition of narcissism but just in case . . . and for those who do not . . . inordinate fascination with oneself . . . excessive self-love . . . vanity . . . (psychoanalysis) erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes . . . Excessive preoccupation with or admiration of oneself. synonym: conceit . . . personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.

It’s a phase we all go through at one time / lifetime or another . . . and it can be tweaked any number of ways and last for lifetime after lifetime.

Most people however will not realize that they are so fortified while in that state of consciousness. He is quite proud of where he is . . . and his perceived superiority over everyone else. LIFE will be the only teacher to lead him down a LONG path to correction . . . whenever that is. It won’t be pleasant. Until then . . . he will neither listen to nor consider much of anything we underlings have to say. He has clearly stated that he loves word bouquets . . . especially his own.

On we go.

"I have become all things to all people." (1 Corinthians 9:19-23) comes to mind.

davidsun . . .

If you believe that to any extent . . . you are more enamored with yourself than I thought . . . but then again . . . there have been many throughout the history of mankind.

Without a doubt . . . you wear your status / superiority openly and well . . . as you stroll along behind your barricade of words.

Enjoy it for as long as you feel it necessary. By the time LIFE begins to drop IT’s life-altering hints . . . you will not remember what many on this site have tried to show you.

I hear/understand the reasoning which leads you to forewarning me so, zorkchop. I sincerely hope you have heard/understood the reasoning which led me to say all that I have said to you.

Um . . . no you dont . . . yet here come the games.

There are facets of Self that are much better suited to gaining insight into what is being expressed by many than “hearing.” You clearly show you are not interested in learning. Odd that people like you always consider such options and occasions as impositions or defeats . . . not as opportunity to learn lessons that you will undoubtedly have to deal with at some lifetime or another.

The only thing worse than someone who takes such gamesmanship and pleasure in not seeing / hearing / considering . . . is one who delights in doing so. Ego knows no bounds. It is also very blind and deaf.

I am done with these exchanges.

I wouldn't call what is isn't happening between us 'exchanges'.

FWIW: What you say comes across (to me) as 'pure' self-projection.

You misinterpreted my meaning when I offered “Well Played” . . . for it referred to the complete gamesman that you are . . . played from a defensive position . . . to resolve all responsibility for looking inward rather than choosing to point your finger outward. You played a faddish cliche to keep yourself safe.

Well played.
