[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5280609, member: 18280"] Perhaps not, but being adult enough about it to allow your horizons to expand should not only do well for your ego, but make your ego well balanced with a speck of humility. That's what it does for me. :lol: ;) Now on to the interesting stuff! Saying something you believe to be true is never lying, although it might be mistaken. Whether or not there are objective criteria for valuation is, AFAICT, not something that we can know...but I suspect that there are. I suspect that the writing of Shakespeare is objectively better than my own, and that the painting of Rembrandt is objectively better than my own. So, when we say "It's all subjective" or "It's all a matter of personal preference" we might also be mistaken. There is no great sin in being mistaken, IMHO. Being mistaken is not lying. And we are, AFAICT & IMHO & IME, mistaken so often in real life that there is no point on jumping on anyone for making an error.....assuming no malice is involved, the error is not caused by/does not cause failure to meet an obligation, and no one is unduly harmed. The fact is, people are often in error. Even when making statements about their own experiences. That goes for me as much as for anyone else. Well, barring an "anyone else" with a medical condition that makes such error more common. IMHO. IME. AFAICT. YMMV. RC [/QUOTE]
