Doesn't mean they are better people. "Toxic" people just need thought readjustment... nicely written! :) very nicely written. i’ve always thought this. it is so annoying when people claim they are “positive”. it’s more like people delude themselves into trying to act like they are holier than though and never have a negative moment. that is not only complete delusion but stupidity in a pure raw form (lol). some people have more positive moments than others. a lot of that can be fueled by how they think, their upbringing, who they are around, and how they see the world at large.

]]> Comment on An Opinion on the Enlightened Warrior Training Camp by Bintheredundat http://drewspective.com/2009.11/an-opinion-on-the-enlightened-warrior-training-camp/comment-page-1/#comment-492 Bintheredundat Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:46:26 +0000 http://drewmaughan.com/weblog/?p=753#comment-492 I've been there EaglesGift. I suckered into the hype. My advice to anyone looking at Peak Potentials and any of T Harv Eckers programs is to go to a free MMI seminar. What you'll experience is a whole lot of motivational yammer yammer interspersed with hard sells to sign up for more $2000-$4000 courses. They'll tell you that you're doomed to failure if you don't. They'll hype these courses up like they're an essential to life. I did the Warrior training. For me, it fell far short of the price tag. It didn't live up to the hype, and was certainly NOT worth the money. Peak Potentials is about 1 thing, and that's raking in cash. They're not 'enlightened people', they're just scammers. There's nothing you'll do in Warrior training that you can't accomplish on your own. By the way, EaglesGift, you make a pretty poor example of an enlightened warrior.

]]> Comment on Why Do Women Still Choose To Run Away? by Drew http://drewspective.com/2012.02/why-do-women-still-choose-to-run-away/comment-page-1/#comment-473 Drew Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:34:22 +0000 http://drewspective.com/?p=2484#comment-473 Thank you for your response! You've made some very good points, particularly the "I've had enough" scenario: it's a good reminder that running away is sometimes a last resort, and may even be necessary. I generally think that, although there are certainly issues with upbringing - and let's not discount the idea that some people don't know how to handle certain issues, because they were never taught how to - the decision to run away from situations is more to do with personal choice - especially if we consider <i>how</i> they run away.

Western (USA American) women seem to ALWAYS run away, be it literally or figuratively. My guesses are (currently): Pity/sympathy trying to "spare your feelings", trying to "be the better man (woman)" by walking away; Preventing their animal/carnal instincts from taking over and them beating the tar out of you or verbally tearing you to shreds; Complete and abject irrational fear/terror; Cowardice; Confusion/ignorance/obliviousness and because of that knowing absolutely nothing about what next to do: so they run; The notion that if you "run away" you "win" the argument (when in fact you lose and everybody loses, because you're (the woman) just stewing in your own anger, and becoming more sequestered in your own emotions to "make you think you're right" rather than rationally dissecting your emotional state of mind and wordings/mental twistings. And finally, the "I've had enough" response, and the only recourse is to leave, because the other person is being irrational, or the first person is becoming emotional and knows that they can't possibly contribute rationally to the conversation anymore (truly in this case, at least ONE or both parties are behaving wrongly-- but I find this one to be the most common, and potentially added onto by the previous cases simultaneously). Thanks for listening; I love that more people are coming out about this, after how long? It's been like 20 years since the Internet's been around, and finally women are getting their 'argumentative failure' picked on in the USA. Or ... we've been censored by anti-male anti-men anti-Christ spirits who control ALL the "moderation" (censorship: "sexist") powers of the Internet? Who's to know: keep watching this and other posts, LOL. Ambiguous User P.S.: I was actively avoiding this, because I think it's generally either not true, or overridable by upbringing: alternate biological explanations is that they are the gatherer of the hunter/gatherer group, and gatherers Run Away, or they get eaten.

My guesses are (currently):

Pity/sympathy trying to “spare your feelings”, trying to “be the better man (woman)” by walking away;

Preventing their animal/carnal instincts from taking over and them beating the tar out of you or verbally tearing you to shreds;

Complete and abject irrational fear/terror;

Cowardice;

Confusion/ignorance/obliviousness and because of that knowing absolutely nothing about what next to do: so they run;

The notion that if you “run away” you “win” the argument (when in fact you lose and everybody loses, because you’re (the woman) just stewing in your own anger, and becoming more sequestered in your own emotions to “make you think you’re right” rather than rationally dissecting your emotional state of mind and wordings/mental twistings.
