> I do it anyway, because I'm clean-shaven, and need to look at myself, every morning. I really appreciate this point. I do this not necessarily to win the argument or change how the other person is thinking/feeling, I do it mostly because I feel better when I do it. Believing someone is out to get me can cause me a lot of fear. Believing they don't care about me can cause me a lot of loneliness. Believing they're trying their best and are swamped with suffering? I actually feel relieved and maybe even grateful that they may have tried so hard to help me. Will I ever know their deepest intentions? Probably not, but I sure feel a lot better when I believe they have good intentions for me. Glad to see you comment on here, you're one of the few names I recognize on HN and appreciate what you said and what you often say, thank you.
