Yes, just saw it, thx. How bizarre, for an item about Arc it was very taxing on Paul. Perhaps it just shows how no one really gets it, and why bother explaining

Yes, just saw it, thx. How bizarre, for an item about Arc it was very taxing on Paul. Perhaps it just shows how no one really gets it, and why bother explaining if you do: those who know don't tell.
- kirubakaran 17y agoI think I too voted that comment down, as I felt that it was not addressing the intent/spirit of that person's question, however ill-formed it might be considered to be. From your comment : Perhaps it just shows how no one really gets it, and why bother explaining if you do: those who know don't tell. IMHO this is a dangerous attitude to have towards a disagreement, as it can cloud your thinking.
- adrianwaj 17y agoQuite. It's one half of a Zen proverb: a person cannot be told the truth- they have to realize it internally.
- kirubakaran 17y agoSo if that proverb is a truth, why are you telling it to me? :-) That is just a statement that Zen monks used when they were logically cornered, I guess. I used to use it on my sister when I was a kid: "You won't know. Even if I explain, you can't comprehend." I think I used this to get her to trade her real coins for some "wax coins" that I made.
