RE: Advice To my Daughter on her 18th Birthday

in #familylast year

Since a lot more was said in the text than that, I wonder why you are commenting at all?

Well, I only raised a question in my comment. Yeah, maybe one a bit skeptical. So I'm not sure if I completely understand what exactly are you referring to in yours. Would you mind to clarify your comment better?

Sort:  

The tone of your scepticism casts a doubt on whether you even want an answer is what I meant. I can be wrong, hence my question to you. It is indeed difficult, also for me personally, to see 6000 years as a factually credible number. We online commentators tend to disagree with a statement, often without seeming particularly interested in the rest of the text. I noticed that here.
No offence.

Well, it only happens that I know pretty well who Dan is. And for the same reason, I reckon he would be willing to answer my question regardless of the tone of my scepticism. In fact, I suspect he would prolly be interested in that me and everyone else here would know what led him to include that controversial statement that I am questioning in the body of his post. :)

Oh, better you have no doubt that I was genuinely interested in the rest of his text, which I read and digested it all in its integrity and that's precisely where my question came from. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even bothered to comment. Don't you think?

I noticed that here.

What makes you think that what you noticed is what really happened in this case?

No offence.

All good babe. No offense has been taken!

I wouldn't know if I can think that unless you are telling me. Which you did and now I know. Thank you.

It may have been a correct observation, though. Since it is not and you told me so, I see that I was too quick with noticing. HaHa! :D

I am curious now if Dan is going to reply.

A long time, since someone called me "babe". LOL
Greetings.

Exactly! of course. And that is precisely what you did. How else could we know something and be sure we are right... if not by asking?

In my book there's no such thing as being too quick with noticing. That's precisely what leads to authentic, very interesting and healthy debates from where one can learn new and truly valuable things. You know?

I am curious now if Dan is going to reply.

Well, if I'm sincere, I have the sneaking suspicion that he didn't have the slightest intention of responding to anyone about anything after hitting the publish button. ;o)

I could imagine. That's why I, who am already too old, thought to giving myself the license to break with that unforgivable omission. LoL

Greetings.

Same for you babe and always in good health! Cheers!

Thank you, I appreciate your reply :)

I wonder. For me, I am always inviting people to comment and I like to be challenged. A good debate is like a fair competition if it is lead in this spirit.

That's why I, who am already too old, thought to giving myself the license to break with that unforgivable omission. LoL

LoL indeed :) I am old too, so the "babe" doesn't hit its target. HaHa! "Confessed woman" suits me more. But I take it sportily.

Come over to my blog. You'll find a very lively and interesting comment-section on my newest publication. I would like to hear your thoughts. Will you?
