Judge not lest thee be judged and found wanting. Do you really know what you think you know.
A worthy sentiment. Try to remember it
‘tu quoque’ as Pope would say
Touché
‘Coup de grace’ more like it. You can figure out the probability of being correct by learning the Trivium. Adults usually start with the fallacies and biases.
Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
I was being kind. I didn’t want to point out that there was no logical fallacy in my reply because I wasn’t refuting your position, but agreeing with it. I was reinforcing that we ALL need to have some self reflection involved when we seek to be judgemental.
You seemed to interpret correctly that I was holding up a mirror to you, hence I was congratulating you on both noticing the reflection and seeing my point. It was no “coup de grace”
I wasn’t saying you were. I was giving you my method of reflection. ‘Try to remember it’ is hostility, not agreement. Something to reflect on ;P
“Hostility” is a strong word – feeling a little sensitive? I’d see “a worthy sentiment” as agreement. But must the two be mutually exclusive?
Roman saying: “Si vis pacem, para bellum” (If you want peace, prepare for war)
Tempus fugit!
Not according to Zeno of Elea 🙂 and that’s why I listen to the other Zeno.
I’m sure everyone is so impressed!
