  You need to guess less and think omre.

| I'm sorry to read you have such a negative view of human nature.

  You need to guess less and think more.

| People can be so nice when treated with respect.

  Now, how does that _really_ differ from what I said?

| you.

  Well, I think this is an excellent idea.  However, in keeping with
  the very simple concept of "puting your money where you mouth is", I
  wait for those who proclaim a principle to apply it to themselves.
  Anybody can expound on some principle he wants _others_ to apply,
  but if you refrain from applying it to yourself, you communicate a
  quality of the advice given that is extremely unflattering: If it
  isn't good enough for yourself, why should anyone take your advice?

| That's when they will often start to respect you at a deeper level.
| (That's my reality anyway, hope it will be yours too one day!).

  It amazes me that you start off your "respectful" message with a
  disrespectful grin, instead of just _doing_ what you recommend.
  Such hypocrisy is utterly _disgusting_ to watch.  Just quit it.
