Do people ever tell you that you are wise, enlightened, the most amazing person, etc?

where's the somewhat option?
i put no. especially because you asked do you ever tell people that you are wise, enlightened or the most amazing person. nobody is better than anyone else. we're all just humans. we're all on the path to enlightenment, some people are further along than others, but who's to say who's further than who? it's an individual path, shouldnt really compare yourself to other people.
"That path is for your steps alone"

Enlightenment means something different to everyone. Some Jehova's Witnesses came to my door last week and told me they were trying to enlighten me and I told them I was already enlightened. They have theirs, I have mine.

Right, anyone can declare it but the real test is the extent to which you make people say WOW!

What matters to me is bieng on a path of enlightenment. I dont really know what it means to 'be' enlightened so I voted no. I guess to me enlightenment has more to do with the instant and process of learning or growing instead of a state of bieng.
Enlghtenment seems to come in moments and spurts for me. Maybe moments of enlightenment followed by periods of reflection.
I am still in school and this seems to be similar to my life style as a student learnign 'regular' stuff.

No, everbody that comes into being is another chance to be the best that ever was. And, hell, that is a damn lot of people every second, of every minute of all time.
--------------------
No ONE wants to know the ultimate TRUTH, as soon as YOU find IT out, YOU want to forget IT.
You are everything's way of feeling itself.
