Why is it that people in r&s dont actually answer the question?

And instead babble on about something else.

Do you people realise you aren't reading the questions?

    Because people come here when they're bored. This is a place where we vent our frustrations and argue that others are wrong and we are right. It's more like a chat room. Do you ask and answer serious questions in a chat room?

    perhaps a measure of wisdom is so being offered so never look a gift horse in the mouth they say but who are "they" one wonders.

    So what is your question then?

    I tend to do just this by answering one question with another that is the way it worked in higher circles of wisdom.

    it helps one to so focus on what they have asked in the first place and assumes that they may just know the answer already at the soul level. The soul does give thoughts to the form or ego nature as a prompt. Amen.

    It's call switch & shift.

    I not long ago asked a question , one person instead of answering proceeded to tell me why he thought I was asking but never answered the question.

    I can only assume it means they don't know what they are talking about.

    Also some just points game.

    1. They don't know the answer.

    2. They don't care.

    3. They can't read and don't understand the question.

    4. That's two questions.

    I look inside the question for the core issue that has motivated it and address that.

    Very often surface questions are just expressions of a deeper conflict.

    I read and answered your prior question kiddo, and it was a straight forward answer directly to your question.
