You may find it hard to believe, but I would LOVE to be proved wrong...if I can have an explanation of how it works that doesn't rely on poetry and linguistic weaving to clarify the matter.

You'd "LOVE to be proved wrong". Ah, now I see. You are insisting that others provide you with the elusive "explanation" you'd find acceptable.

Why assume this stance?

Because it not only creates ample opportunity to indulge your real passion, your true LOVE - the mental power struggle, that (endlessly futile) war of words, the "winning" and "losing", the "proving" or "being proved wrong"?

Perhaps it also fuels a hope that ultimately, someone else might do your *required* spiritual *homework* for you?
