I'm not saying we instantly get there, and I'm not saying that you can ever reach perfection/utopia. I don't think that is possible. In short, far from fundamentally disagreeing, I agree with you there. I just want to make steps toward improvement and change that aren't actually steps backward.

I'm not saying you're stupid, and I'm not saying, even, that there is something inherently wrong with emotion. I never said you were a dumbass, and if you feel like one, I refuse to take blame for it, as I really do not think you are, nor am I arguing that you are. As for the rest, I don't think I can say anything productive, so nevermind.
