“There are two types of people in the world. One type is people-oriented. When they make conversation, it is about people — what people are doing, what someone said, how someone feels. The other group is idea-oriented. When they make conversation, they talk about ideas and concepts and objects. Idea people are boring, even to other idea people.”
“When a person talks about people, it is personal to everyone who listens. You will automatically relate the story to yourself, thinking how you would react in that person’s situation, how your life has parallels.”

The “self” may be the only thing that is real.
Sorry. It’s all in your head. Literally. The “self” is a delusion created by the mind to protect the ego.
“You” are much more than an idea. You are tangible. Ideas are not.
And what is a a “you” but an idea.
And yet this post ended up being about a person.
You.
Wow … this pretty much sums up a lot of my interactions with people. While I am concerned about their well-being and want to help them any way I can … it’s the ideas about anything that make my brain smile … well … if my brain could smile. ;)
