@sardonicsmile @Tfmonkey uh oh you got rollo'd. Your philosophy is invalid. How does that make you feel. Without a validator how can you be valid. Are you saying you are self evident validating yourself to be valid! Have someone else have respect for yourself!
@Tfmonkey @MrpoopyButhole
I agree that self actualization will take priority over respect, for the Thinking Man.
When we are interacting with others and require their trust or cooperation, respect must be established. You cannot just tell someone who has authority to make decisions that affect you to, "I'm self actualized, so nothing you say matters to me."
I hope I wrote that correctly...
@Tfmonkey @MrpoopyButhole Yes. Makes sense.
@sardonicsmile @MrpoopyButhole Let me explain it this way. People judge you on what you achieve. Respect flows downstream of achievement.
Caring about respect is like chasing happiness. If you chase happiness, you'll be unhappy. If you live a meaningful and purpose-filled life, happiness will happen on its own.
Self-actualization doesn't need to be bragged about. It won't matter to anyone else. Maybe you'll achieve great things and they'll respect you, or not. Who cares?
Hope that make sense.
