Not seeking to gain anyone's trust or appproval as,in life, you must, if you are a self-respecting person who has achieved independence reach a point where you realize you don't need approval.
Trust? I know we use the term "earn" to describe a process of gaining it. I recall the OLD commercial for Barnes and Whitney, where the actor says trust is not gained but "EARNED". I know they seek, in the commercial, to use double-entendre because they are about money, but I have trouble with that concept because it implies a kind of subservience.
Am too proud to accept that role. But I can accept the concept that, by one's actions, establish trust one encounter at a time. Each day is a new day that starts with even odds.
I know people at work who treat some people with a less regard because those people can offer them nothing because they are a subordinate or their equal. They only respect those who have something to offer them, like help or career advancement. We have all encountered them. There are some even here in Research.
You may have guessed, I don't like that type. My advice to Anons over there would be to engage a newbie who asks a "stupid question" with a quick answer. Instead, they waste even more bread with a non-responsive ALL CAPS rebuke to "lurk moar" -a wasted opportunity to teach.
My knowledge- I have been "awake" to the globalists since around '84. Used to have subscription to NewAmerican magazine. Can talk on most everything and you won't have to lower your conversational register fot me to keep up.
Been following Syria situation closely since the beginning. Regular follower of SouthFront on Ytube to get the other side, and quite frankly, the truth. Sometimes go to RT for the same reason.
Still, one wants to contribute. I am still very interested in researching the Therapists. It has all the elements of intrigue I like. BTW enjoy J. LeCarre books.
Have some fiirst edition books by David Livingstone, Henry Morton Stanley, Samuel White Baker, Dr. John Kirk, Reginald Copeland, so I know a bit about Afirican exploration, the Slave Trade and efforts for its suppression.
If you are having trouble getting an image online, just post a request. I may "dox" myself in doing so but not worried who knows me. Unless you have any tips for posting images without doinh so.
BTW saw you "carpet bombing" over on TTDDTOT. Good job.
