Strawbridge, you again amaze me as a wonderful teacher. I learned a lot from your piece. My reason for not sharing my innermost beliefs has more to do with the fact that i have spent years, dare I say, decades, developing my philosophy and being. I am not wont to share them with folks who are casual listeners, and who do not realize the high value I place on thought.
Thank you. I am so glad you liked it. I totally understand what you mean. It feels a little insulting to share something precious to you, that you have worked on for a long time, just for someone to regard it as just throwaway information. Right? I mean, that’s how it feels to me. We don’t disclose things to protect us. To protect the most valuable things. I don’t think you’re wrong at all to feel that way. Thanks again for your encouragement.
I’m a big believer in keeping things private. Maybe it’s because, in our culture, we have the concept of the evil eye, or perhaps it’s just my nature. I don’t enjoy answering or asking extremely personal questions unless I’m close to someone. And you’re absolutely right, speaking without a filter isn’t ideal. You can be straightforward without being mean.
I like that concept and feel it’s very wise. The evil eye. I felt the same before I had heard of it. Thank you so much for reading and offering your insight. You always add something great.

You worded it perfectly: throwaway information. Exactly my sentiments.
