momo said:My intellectual center has been busy analyzing, but since I am quite careful with what may be stated as "truth", I don't feel quite competent making written statements - in Austria we say "was liegt das pickt" meaning - once you wrote it, you cannot change it. So I will just take some time reading in here - and I will give my best to contribute whenever I have something meaningful to say...
I don't like that saying, and I really don't think it is objectively true. Just because many people said it for many years in a certain part of the world, doesn't mean much. Where I come from a popular saying is "drink wine to have good life", but I don't remember either my life or health being any good when I followed that saying
In this forum it is very well understood and accepted that people can change their mind after they receive feedback from others, or if they wrote from a certain emotional reaction, and then, when not under the control of that reaction, they can see it and come back and write again, this time with a different understanding. So you can write something, but you can change your mind about it and say so in a later post, and that will be most welcomed. It's not written in stone after-all, just on a computer ;D
You will not be able to delete the original post of course, but it will remain there for others to read it and learn from you. Like this thread for example. So "Once you wrote it, you cannot change it" does not apply here, thank goodness. What a rigid saying!
