@punishmenthurts @autistics "Stop giving me quotes. Can’t you speak for yourself?"

I didn't invent the #English language and I don't live in #Egomania #SelfCentered hate everyone who isn't my autistic type attitude.

I traveled of my own initiative and cost to live in Cyprus, South America (Chile), Middle East, Africa, (Algeria) Indonesia, Malaysia and didn't just hide that the air and water we all share on planet Earth isn't just me me me me. Even my own North America #homeland I have lived in over 30 cities in an RV for decades.

Why would I avoid far better teachers and writers? It's so self-centered to fixate on your own language patterns and native language from the current meme-speak #Mastodon culture.

.

How many times have I pointed you to Canadian Marshall McLuhan? "Can’t you speak for yourself?" I'm not using #Oral #Spoken at all. Are you #HearingVoices ?

"An individual has not begun to live until he can rise above the narrow horizons of his particular individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. And this is one of the big problems of life, that so many people never quite get to the point of rising above self. And so they end up the tragic victims of self-centeredness. They end up the victims of distorted and disrupted personality."

"Now the consequences, the disruptive effects of such self-centeredness, such egocentric desires, are tragic. And we see these every day. At first, it leads to frustration and disillusionment and unhappiness at many points. For usually when people are self-centered, they are self-centered because they are seeking attention, they want to be admired and this is the way they set out to do it. But in the process, because of their self-centeredness, they are not admired; they are mawkish and people don't want to be bothered with them. And so the very thing they seek, they never get. And they end up frustrated and unhappy and disillusioned." - #MLKJr

A quotation from A. A. Milne

   Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think.
   “If there’s a buzzing-noise, somebody’s making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you’re a bee.”
   Then he thought another long time, and said: “And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.”
   And then he got up, and said: “And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.” So he began to climb the tree.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 1 “We Are Introduced” (1926)

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

These illustrations suggest four general maxims, which will prove an adequate preventative of persecution mania if their truth is sufficiently realized. The first is: remember that your motives are not always as altruistic as they seem to yourself. The second is: Don’t overestimate your own merits. The third is: don’t expect others to take as much interest in you as you do yourself. And the fourth is: don’t imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any desire to persecute you.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)
