I know this is a forum and it's hard to have long conversations. Dialogues also have clarifications and need to be cut into pieces so the reader, like myself, won't have a chucnk of information and try to figure out exactly what you're trying to say.
It's like christians dumping verses and expect you to "see the light." Dialogues don't work that way. It takes patience, interest, and clarification on both ends. Without that, what's the use of conversing (or debating with others for that matter).
My original question was how was Lover's comment and post from the sutta (the book of discourses or Dhamma, case in point) a contradiction to each other?
It seemed like you were refuting his post with another post in the same Dhamma (Buddha's discourses on Practice). Unless the Dhamma contradicts each other (I wouldn't be surprised since it's not "holy" scriptures), what was the point you were making with Loverofhumanity?
That's all I wanted to know.
Peace.
