Thread Name: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
Subject: RE: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
The main reason I am having others judge the profiles was stated best by Richard Feynman: "the easiest person to fool is yourself", and from my life history and prior circumstances, I know that I am quite capable of fooling myself.

Likewise, TIA. Everyone's great at fooling themselves! And yes, there's been a few times when other people's observations and opinions about me and/or my personal life have proven helpful ie during a particularly difficult or crisis situation, when it's hardest to stay objective and keep a level head.

But honestly, other people's opinions usually turn out to be a distraction at best, harmful and misleading at worst. A few decades of trial and error have shown that life is much easier when I avoid seeking out other people's opinions and "advice" (??) about my own personal affairs as much as possible.

I shudder to think that I'd allow anyone else to direct, least of all dictate my choices or decisions or judgements re websites, or personal astrological reports, or posting on Mudcat, or playing the piano, or anything else I might be interested in pursuing! But then again, I do make it a point to trust nothing but personal hands-on observation and experience when investigating subjects like astrology.
