You know. I full heartedly agree with what you said. I noticed that when I've spoken to some amazing philosophers I came across, they were, *******S. Egocentric fools who had knowledge but couldn't manifest it in anyway possible, except to make themselves seem better than me. I was at the level they were without the big words, and those interesting adverbs people use alot. I am limited in what I can do, but I am not limited when it comes to manifesting the very idea. I have emotions, I care about people and never do I wish to be higher than anyone. I believe people who are ''higher'' are just people who can't get their head out of their *****. It's an egotistical game now, nobody seems to be doing it for the good of mankind while I like to think that I am. I want to improve the well being, and understand more about the people, and this world we live in. It's my passion.
That's pretty righteous and I hope you turn your passion into action because what you describe seems to me like a rare quality found in very few people. I think one of the hardest things to do in life is keep control of ones ego, especially as you gain more knowledge about things.
Is this why you completely jumped down my throat last time (or as I thought)? You thought I was one of those ''philosophers''?
I don't really judge people like that, especially online. Sometimes there's the occasional poster who practically describes who they are with every post, but it's pretty rare. Even then, it could be a completely fake personality they are portraying, so you never really know. Even when you know a person I guess you never really know, but I think it definitely becomes easier to see who a person is when you remove the anonymity of the internet.
As for why I jumped down your throat last time...
I'm not even touching that one
But I will say this, I wish you the best in regards to your future posting, considering the ridiculous first impression you left most people on here with lol.
Who are grey, made out of stone, and don't know how to do anything for others but themselves. They've convinced themselves that being boring and dull is the way of life when I personally think they are hypocrites that are hiding from their own emotions, because they are too much of a coward to handle their emotions regardless of the interesting things they have to say. I disagree that it's pseudo-science though. I believe that dreams are deeper than just images presented by the brain reflecting off things, and that humans have patterns. The things these philosophers say are indeed intriguing and spark a lot of things that are true to this day. It's poetry in a very grey sense.
Actually the phenomenon you're describing where people seem to think that being boring, dull, and emotionless is the way of life is something I often think about. I'm not really sure why it occurs but part of me can't help but feel that institutes of "higher learning" are partly responsible. And I haven't done too much research into the legitimacy of the science of dreams but at this point anything is possible because the inner workings of the human brain are still largely a mystery. Whether or not dreams have deeper meaning or origin is definitely an interesting topic of discussion...but definitely one for another time or thread.

As for bullying, teasing, ect...I don't think it's going to have any lasting effects on your mental state unless you hold onto insecurities that it created or reminded you of. I have been bullied in the past as I'm sure most people have, and yeah it bugged me at the time but looking back on it now I just laugh at myself for letting it get to me. Unless it gets violent and ends up in a person getting seriously hurt, bullying to me is
not a big deal at all. I definitely don't condone it, but I don't think it's fair to assume that every bully enjoys hurting others.
