How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Frankly, people who are annoying are like Socrates who try to Understand what the other side is saying/doing....
In fact I've annoyed librarian and book club organisers because I'd ask: But HOW do we know that this group is really making participants gain-to-make-life-richer than before. There need to be something like parents of KG classes who insist on being shown progress through vocabulary, play participation and socially acceptable behaviors etc.
So, cheers, you made me feel good that at least there's one person annoying-enough-for-the-right reasons!

Good morning, Sisyphus. I’m feeling a bit like a poser after reading your comment referencing me in the same sentence with Socrates. I admit, his teachings had an impact on me when first introduced in high school. They were troubled times for me until I ‘met’, Socrates. ‘Know Thyself” fostered one of several seminal moments over my lifetime. It gave me permission for self introspection and helped me find a place in my world at that time of life. I could be myself and not have to fall in the shadows of my siblings or try to fit in with the popular kids. 🙃 I did ask too many questions to be ‘cool’.
But in this case, nah…the comment that “You’re pretty annoying” really doesn’t miss the mark! 😅
I’ve been enjoying reading your philosophical comments this morning and appreciate the moniker you’ve given yourself; Sisyphus, a man with a passion for life, cheated death only to be rewarded with an eternity of hopeless struggle.
I hope you don’t mind, but for any member who isn’t familiar with you, I’d like to post a link to your first comment in the forum so they can also learn more about you and your philosophy to a happy life. You’d be a fascinating lunch date.
