Every time I read the comment section I see the same dozen or so lackeys fawning over every word and praising every sentence of yours regardless of the substance or the quality.

Even when I think you are making mistakes, it often clarifies my thought processes to understand why and what you are doing/thinking wrong.<BR/><BR/>Chazal speak highly of taking the impulses of one's yetzer hara and using it to do good. The same bloodthirstiness that might make one person a murderer could have made them a surgeon. In your case, you use your need for attention to produce interesting and insightful posts which you share with others, thereby enriching them. Compare that to those needy people who get the attention they crave by suicide attempts, G-d forbid, or by becoming a celebrity ala Paris Hilton or Maddona.Larry Lennhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578073969473815180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-5238335168113302792007-08-08T04:21:00.000-04:002007-08-08T04:21:00.000-04:00BEST POST EVER.BEST POST EVER.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-48411499897735214142007-08-08T04:02:00.000-04:002007-08-08T04:02:00.000-04:00Lifehouse's Trying.
