Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

*Do you believe that you have a right to strive for “your fair share”?
*Do you listen to others merely so they will then “let you be”, or tolerate their
“neediness” so they will then leave you alone?
*Do you evangelize your spiritual beliefs, trying to “save” them, “witness” to them, or
otherwise persuade them to adopt your religious views?
*Do you quickly reject new ideas or dismiss others’ beliefs offhand when they seem to
contradict your own?
*Do you reject offers of assistance from family, friends &/or associates?
*Do you primarily associate with people who are “equally enlightened”, “similarly
inclined”, or “of a like mind”?

research or fresh ideas that do not fit neatly into your preconceived beliefs about Reality?

*Do you label those with differing points of view as “less intelligent” or “lacking in
understanding”?
*Do you inform others whenever they make mistakes?
*Do you identify people by first “sorting” them into general categories?
*Do you judge others (e.g. “She works too hard”, “He is so negative”, etc)?
*Do you believe you know “the facts”?
*Do you use the words “should”, “could”, “must” or “ought to” in your every-week
speech?
*Do you use the words “right”, “wrong”, “true”, “false”, “good”, “bad”, “better” or
“worse” in your every-week speech?
*Do you get angry or irritated when another person rejects, condemns or analyzes you?
*Do you praise others whenever they do something “good” or “right” or “properly”?
*Do you avoid eye-contact?

remarks?
