Just continue teaching people, like you are doing now.

No, that's not the point at all. If it reads as condescending, you didn't pick up on the last few sentences well enough.

I've done plenty of stuff that I regret, some of it worse than what I'm sure the average person has done.

Actually, I was trying to be sincere -- our actions have consequences on other people and the world at large.

The flip side is that we become observers when we don't take any action in fear of affecting the world.

Other times, we may think that there may be a certain consequence, but the actual outcome ends up being considerably different.

Reference experience becomes important at some point -- it ensures that we take action, make mistakes, set boundaries, and live in the world.

You come off intelligent and thoughtful. I'm not sure where you are located but I'd love to connect with you. I'm Sarkis -- skarayan@gmail.com

"If I sound condescending, it's because you just didn't understand what I was trying to say"

wow.
