You stand on the shoulders of giants and have the nerve to call yourself a hero? Please get your ego under control.

As I've already said, I am plenty cognizant of the fact that my achievements are not independent of other's achievements. This does not negate any heroic acts that I have, can and will commit. Everyone is entitled to be a hero in the myriad forms that they possibly can. Paradigm, you said you are planning to write a book on how to end world poverty. That is quite heroic of you, and I'd really like to see you accomplish it - even if only to succeed in publishing the book itself, so I could take pleasure in adding a special book in my collection - special because it would be the only book ever published by someone that I've had the pleasure to converse, debate and communicate with.

At any rate, I understand that you come from a religious/mystic bend and as such, you will undoubtedly [as evidenced here] dissent against any prideful exhibits of egoism, as you percieve it to be "anti-spiritual" or something along those lines. Yet, I hope you realize the very own egoism in your own dissents against my own egoism. What your statement really boils down to is: "I don't approve of you, and think you should change yourself according to my demands." Well, gee, how very egoist of you - but of course, there is nothing wrong with egoism itself.
