Just because people don't agree with your position does not mean they don't understand you. It is a possibility that they both completely understand and disagree with you

The misunderstanding I was referring to was the rampant selection and raping of one thing I said, not disagreement with my position in general.

I witness this perception of "placing other people's comfort before my own is a weakness" in more than one of your posts. I'm sure there is a reason for it, and it appears to color many of your posted views.

You're right. I never place anyone before myself. This is my life, and I only get one. If I
can do something for another person, then by all means I will. But if it means placing something I view as important below what they view as important -- I'll win.

Being willing to voluntarily place your own comfort below that of others is not a weakness, but a strength

Why? I used to be this way, and I cannot fathom it being a strength. Unless of course we're talking about silly things like letting someone else go first in line or doing something for someone when you're very busy -- they're issues of convenience rather than comfort, to me.
