The Fastest Age

Originally posted by Ion Beza At my level, I despise -to their face- people who don't have the character to do things with the goal of improvement when they resort to cop out excuses and duck challenges in what they say that they do; To me, your constant bellyaching about the lack of VO2Max, and refusal to consider other suggestions smells of a major cop-out. Didn't you say you were athletic as a young man already, wouldn't that have give you some VO2Max development that would be at the higher level than someone who wasn't??? And, on a psych side, people tend to despise in others taht which they despise in themselves first and most. It's a pretty common emotional defense mechanisam, and even though on surface it makes you feel superior for a fleeting moment, it actually shows emotional inferiority. The fact that you get so defensive when people make certain suggestion actually goes in support of what I just said. Here is some good reading for you: userwww.sfsu.edu/.../ read up on this one especially: In particular, displaced aggression. I think you'll see a lot of things taht you can relate to. And this one: userwww.sfsu.edu/.../114.htm about defense mechanisams and their functional and dysfunctional applications.
