It suggests that women are more compassionate than men.  You are apparently
neglecting all of the compassionate men in the world.

I am?  This is illogical.

Here, Tom, is a good example of why Mindfulness is better than "truth."

On the one hand, there is Jerry Schueler who has spent a lifetime in arcane
and other studies.  He has written many books on magic; however, one can
almost be certain that he has not put everything he knows into them.
 Undoubtedly, he is holding back at least a few of his best secrets--most
likely the really powerful ones which involve techniques and practical
applications.

On the other hand, you come right out and tell him that his thinking is
"illogical."

Now let me ask you:  who is Jerry more likely to sooner or later share his
ultimate secrets with?  You who always has to be so "truthful" and
alpha-male, or me who is so Mindful of this future possiblity for scraps that
a talking dog under the dinner table could not outdo me in charming manner of
elocution?

Godspeed,

Richard Ihle
