Over the years my ambition has been to achieve the status of a 'professional small boy' and maintain that joie de vivre. After a lifetime of enjoying toys,I've deiced that there are those that give a lifetime of enjoyment, and those that tend to go away.
The key is to not let them own you!

I'm less impressed by the pseudo-intellectualism than I am by your forbearance and your understanding of Matthew 7. I would also add:
"But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?"
