I dont care if my MA instructor can fly and shoot lightning bolts out of his ears, if he acts in a way I cant respect . Some actions speak so loud you cant hear whats said.upnorthkyosa said:As MAists we regularly bow down to those who have more information then us. We respect that knowledge and we work to further our own. Do we expect to learn everything our instructors know? How about if they dedicated their lives to the practice? We just may not have the time.
The same can be said about people in debates like this. We need to respect the fact that a person just may know way more about a subject then we do. And then we need to find the humility to admit that we don't know as much. This humility could also extend to the concept of using that source to form new beliefs. Isn't that what learning from each other is all about?
