I believe I have been taking your words at face value. The dichotomy of some of your statements is where I get tripped up. And yes, I hear your statements of good intentions and do believe that if you were aware of better ways to do what you do, you would do them. Many things are done for good intentions - not all of them result in the good that is intended. Ellsworth Toohey had the best of intentions, based on his concept of the society that surrounded him.
It is my impression that many of your statements are essentially harmful, whether intended as such or not. Maybe as time goes by you will come to understand this to be true. Or maybe you will not.
