| This reads like something Ayn Rand would say. Take that how you will. |

| I have a friend who reads ayn and agrees with her drug riddled thinking. But I still try to connect with him through empathic understanding (understanding with a person, not about him) and that lets me keep up the relation and not destroying it by pointing out and gloating about every instance where he is a good selfless person. :) |

| ▲ | BolexNOLA 5 days ago | parent [-] | | You’re right, there are nicer ways I could have made my point. Though I can’t help but point out there’s a little bit of irony in throwing a “:)” at the end of your comment when commenting on my tone haha | | |
| ▲ | mnsc 5 days ago | parent [-] | | Oh I don't meant to do that I think. I just thought of that friend due to how hard it is to emphathize with him during discussions about rand/objectivism. It's so non-human to take egoism to that extreme. But I still try and I don't consider him stupid/inhuman for holding those beliefs. | | |
| ▲ | BolexNOLA 5 days ago | parent [-] | | It’s all good! Just funny in context. I didn’t take it as particularly rude or anything. And yeah it’s good of you to do that. A little empathy/softer language can go a long way |
