Fair enough. I do not agree with you but as I said before I accept that our opinions differ and respect yours. Especially since it is carefully considered from what I glean from our conversation.

As for caring about you - I honestly care about people unless they give me reason not to. I found out a long time ago that it was pointless to spend time after time making gradient judgment after gradient judgment immediately the moment I met people.

It's tiring and a waste of my time and energy. Somewhere in my mind I've a medium amount of criteria that determines my opinion of if they are good or bad in the people I meet. It's instinctive for me now. I now assume people are good unless their actions prove otherwise.

Sometimes people prove that they are bad immediately - sometimes before I even meet the person. Such as seeing their effect on the people/things around them.

Sometimes it takes a long time for them to prove to me that they aren't good people. Just as long sometimes to prove that they are no longer bad. Sometimes there are shades of grey as well though I try and distinguish them afterward.

And yes, sometimes I get screwed.

But in my book nothing else is a worthwhile path.

So yes - bizarre as it may sound I care about you after a fashion even though I don't really know you.


As an aside could you please give me a link for the definition of "moos" in the context of our discussion? I've never heard it before?
