Egotism is the anesthetic that deadens the pains of stupidity

   It lowers the shield that lets one think they have complete validity

Ain't that the truth! -- we can convince ourselves of most anything...when we are our only judge and jury. Blessings my friend.

Thank you, Joe. Denial won't change the truth, but it will disguise it to those who don't see themselves for what they are. I appreciate your comments.

Ha Ha Jeff. You are certainly not stupid nor have I ever detected an ego. Thank you.

Unfortunately the egotist won’t have a clue what you’re talking about here Lin, or am I missing the point lol! Brilliant cheers David

You're absolutely on target with your discernment, David. The ones with inflated egos will never admit they fit those shoes. Thanks for shining a light on this one. ;-)

Ha, when addressing such people, we can say anything, and they'll never see themselves in the lines. Thanks, Jan and thanks again for the card this morning!
