I'd be careful about interpreting truthful disagreement as being purely oppositional. Conventional politics is just gratuitous and unreasoned opposition.Marsha wrote:
Truth is the understanding of the root nerve of thinking. It is the willingness to disagree with whatever status quo, no matter the cost, when that status quo has become stale.
If sagehood were ever a status quo, and the majority were as wise as could possibly be, only the unwise would try to disagree with wisdom. They wouldn't succeed in disagreeing, as they'd always be incorrect.
The understanding of the Absolute is never stale, unless it is not correct.
If one is looking for some way to pass time, and be entertained, then it would be better to check out why one is feeling bored.
This forum is not a place to hang out and socialise. It is a resource for people who seriously want to correct their own intellectual flaws. Thus, the only people here ought to be serious students, and those who are developed enough to help them reliably.
The American way of babysitting everyone via constant entertainment suppresses any real learning. I would suggest that the lonely hearts go away, and do a bit of private thinking.
If this occasions a feeling of hurt, please read my previous post above, on how to help yourself to grow and heal.
