Okay, so, we agree: I'm already my own internal source of happiness and I don't need this stuff! Cool beans :)
We also agree that you offended everyone because your artistic excitement about your new thing caused you to say things that you didn't mean and still don't think you said, despite them being interpreted exactly the same way by every member of your audience. I forgive you and pat you on the head!
Sorry, still gonna fight the eventual dissolution of my Self, though. Kinda makes me happy, squeezing every ounce of experience out of the possibilities around me. You can go on thinking you found a better way than me, though, if that makes you happy as well. Please don't tell me I'm not secure and at peace with death, or that I am frustrated and need to be better able to appreciate all the time I do appreciate. That's insulting and wildly incorrect, and assumes vast amounts of data about me that you do not have.
I believe you have the potential to be able to talk about your new religion in ways that do not casually insult everyone who does not follow it. Today is not yet that day, tho. Maybe one day when you are finally the Best Despanan You Could Ever Be...? Except that we all already are, right? Wait, nm, don't answer that please.
You will, won't you. Your last sentence said as much (damn good at selling for a living, and will talk about this all day, but definitely not selling it for these are unrelated clauses!), and you've already said in this thread that you would not consent to a truth even if you believed it. I can't imagine WHERE I ever got the idea that you were becoming a proselytizing evangelical, tho.
