I've tried it. Finally I had to tell a friend that I really didn't want to be their friend anymore. I told him it wasn't about him - it was about me- when really I thought it was about him. But now that I thought about it, it really is about me. Him and me we didn't get along. I was tip-toeing around too many issues, and he was constantly picking intellectual debates that I was in no mood to fight. In short he was a tool. So I told him so. Best thing I ever did. Ever. If a person really is a jerk all you're doing them is a disservice by not telling them that they're a jerk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1159904040960354792006-10-03T15:34:00.000-04:002006-10-03T15:34:00.000-04:00I still prefer the slow fade. conflict is annoying...I still prefer the slow fade. conflict is annoying if you no longer have interest in the person. <BR/><BR/>and stop punching little girls in the face TAN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1159903525119097652006-10-03T15:25:00.000-04:002006-10-03T15:25:00.000-04:00many good points you make TAN. we do avoid conflic...many good points you make TAN. we do avoid conflict, and conflict is often good for us. but not always right? there have to be some times when letting things go, or avoiding confrontation is good. what about a mugger sticking you up? are we supposed to engage in that conflict?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1159902566288957812006-10-03T15:09:00.000-04:002006-10-03T15:09:00.000-04:00awesome TAN. you're funny, but I really like your...awesome TAN. you're funny, but I really like your philosophical posts. they seem to come from an everyman perspective, it belies the whole black/white game you play and speaks to the, as you mention, the human condition. <BR/><BR/>keep it coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1159902410724449762006-10-03T15:06:00.000-04:002006-10-03T15:06:00.000-04:00That wasn't too long.

Now I hardly ackowledge them. Last 5 years have been crazy and they played dead as usual. No experiences shared. They never learned my doctors names much less tried to help me. Can your equation work in negative numbers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
