i couldn't resist one more thought here....

Jimmy's response to David says something even more telling..It is a though certain people cannot believe that others are truly 'high minded'...I believe it is because they have no reference points to heartfelt empathy. They are always looking for the 'trick'..And i see it alot on this website. It is like, "see, i gotcha now!" They want to prove that no one has ethics or morality, because they feel innately threatened by it.
Now, I wrote a response to a posting a few days ago, regarding an Israeli U.N. proposal that mimicks a palestinian proposal that was passed, regarding protection of palestinian children, because they are in a unique position in certain ways. The first proposal israel has made to the general assembly, and it was even said by the israeli representative, whose name escapes me now, that israel will now see for themselves.. Because if the U.N doesn't pass this israeli proposal, they are antisemitic, and have a double standard..I see this type of game the same way I see Jimmy's response to David..How?
The israeli just couldn't fathom the fact that there is a different and unique circumstance around the passing of the palestian proposal. Didn't even want to know, really. But assumes that it was passed as a way of condeming israel, just because they are so antisemitic in the U.N....Cannot understand that other people really did feel a deep compassion, and this is why it was passed. I don't think that even occurs to them,because they have no reference points to it personally.
Then, to use this as a way to play the game of "gotcha now!" Well, it is a real embarrassment ..It is a primitive attempt to be clever..But because they really don't understand the deeper context, they just look like fools. And , you see, this is where the intellect breaks down, if it is not supported by intuitive, heartfelt understanding..And this government plays that part out so often..Projecting its own lack of human understanding onto everyone else. Because they are stuck in a very narrow universe. They really are anachronistic...Wow, i sort of got off topic here...oh, well....
