When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you.

Moods should be heard but never danced to.

A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.
