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.
Hugh Prather
I talk because I feel, and I talk to you because I want you to know how I feel.
Hugh Prather
A messy mortal is my friend. Come walk with me in the mud.
