In Reply to: I beg to differ with the critic posted by PS on February 27, 2003 at 07:31:18:
: : connecting with others is and never was and never will be a formula,and god forbid that we end up reducing it to such in the future.
: True. But people need a method to actualize their good intentions in many cases. It is easy to say "you must do this," but the average person's reply is, "I know, but how?" To give practical and constructive advise about how to begin building relationships is not reducing relationship to a method. I learned to play guitar by rigorous practice for years according to a method, but I assure you my music has not been reduced to a method.
: Think about it.
: You too have many things in you and in your life that you wish you could change but you don't know how. If someone gave you a workable way to attain your goal, would you throw it away because it wasn't completely spontaneous? That is just silly.
: Also, you should consider giving your real name for such a post. That makes your critique seem much more sincere and less subversive.
: Pastor Steven
oh you know me pastor steven...i just figured id post under a different name..i wasnt tryin to be misterious but rather postin under a different name just cuz of personal reasons.
think about it..you know exactly who i am...an old church goer lets just put it at that..
el senor de metal.
now you know...i figured yall would just would have made the conclusion that it was I...well i guess that i can't go thinkin that anymore..
i also posted not in my regular style to see if anyone could find out if that it was me.
well anyways i hear ya and stuff..i just am sayin that some people do happen to get caught up in formulas..and maybe i am on the other extremity of things...i just have this way of doin things in where i try my best to not get caught in the functional formulas...granted in some instances they are needed..i just dont want to reduce my connecting to people as a formula..because i feel that maybe i will miss it in the process if i do such a thing..in other words i feel that i will make it a mechanical function and there wont be a natural flow in it.
