      I didn't consider that term, that's what a real "teacher" is.

  Yea, the best teachers are not the one teaching, but those who inspire you to want to learn about any given subject. And there are many approaches to this, even provokation heh he hehe he, one can be inspired to challenge a "truth" which may open up unknown door's. Another thing is also that, following a strickt curriculum is knowledge that one usually forget minutes after the graduation, while knowledge accuired through inspiration (as in "you want to know", opposed to "you have to know" heh he) last forever...metaphorically speaking of course :)

  I think the key is alowing. In my view, disagreeing is fine, wouldn't have it any other way, but one must also be big enough and have enough unconditional love to alow for a difference of opinion/belief/*whatever*.....if you know what I mean :)
  
  That could be easier said than done, but if you have a certainty of your own, why feel "threathened" by an opposing view?
  And of course, I am not telling anyone that they should, only offering a suggestion, but you could try and keep this in mind the next time you get provoked and in turn, when you are going to repond to a imagined provocation....or the bull of others heh he hehe he he ;)
  Coz y'know, everything is bull anyway...right? So there's no need to feel or be uptight about anything, it is supposed to be fun :D
  
  Which leads over to, if you're not having fun, do you blame other's for it or do you question yourself why you bother to care (to the xtent that it ruins your fun) so much about the bull of other's?
  
  To come full circle, it is only fair that everyone get's to bullshit if you are alowed...right? and if noone cares about your bull then why should you care about theirs? If you manage to get into this mind frame...well, then you've come along way in regard to unconditional love, which in it's heart is about alowing. Alowing other's to be and do what they want, be it mistakes or being right (whatever "right" is...right?).
  
  And just to avoid misunderstanding, alowing other's "to do" does not imply that it is OK to be mean or abusive of other's.

  "If people judge you that's their problem, not yours." - Will
  
  I feel like this is an issue that we should target..
  
  If everyone is god, then it is reasonable to feel a need for acceptance from these little god shards..
  
  It is enough to make you shut down towards yourself when you dont always meet with approval from your peers.
  
  This is when I feel most enlightened.. when Im not concerned with aquiring more content..
  
  But, there is a fundamental aspect of having peers in your life.. for example, if your bad in prison.. they take you away from all the rapists and murderers of society, and lock you up in solitude!

    The need for acceptance from others is the perfect recipe for co-dependent relationships.
    
    Not that there's anything wrong with acceptance or relationships. It's just that one must learn to accept themselves first, and then people who accept you for who you really are will come along.
    
    What you seem to be advocating is denial of self so you fit in with others who deny themselves as well. That only feeds into a self-destructive society.

      But who you really are is always changing.. it is a child, it is a father, it is a mother.. once you meet someone who acts this way in front of you, you see them as foolish and annoying.. (at least this is my experience with the self around others)
      
      My advice to myself would be: Play your part, and don't take life so personally..

        But? But what? But is usually indicative of a contradictory statement, but what I said above allows for a "who you really are" that is always changing. In fact, self acceptance and not trying to bend who you are to fit someone else's mold, actually encourages this.
