It is a mental evolutionary process. I spend a lot of time mentally jousting with myself. So a lot of the things people would attack my ideas about I likely have also attacked myself before saying anything. Though I still am often surprised, and I am often wrong. I actually like being wrong. I forget most of the things I was right about, but the things I am wrong about tend to alter my mind.
I like it.
I didn't always... it's an ongoing process.
Thank you for your kind words. I often wonder if I am making sense. So it is nice when someone indicates it did make sense.
Though challenge is good too so I can evolve the ideas further outside of the confines of my own mind.
It makes superb sense!
