The real meat of Bruce's philo is that you EXPERIENCE and RESEARCH truth. Don't simply quote Bruce and think now you know better than all religious people, philosophers, and martial artists because "Bruce said so." Find the cause of YOUR ignorance.
You are right to many people do that and I just realized that I often do that myself.

But then I have a dilemma. Should I qoute Bruce? So that people may see a connection from what he was all about to what I am discussing and then be jugded as ignorant. Or should I not qoute him? And risk that people miss the point.

I pretty much agree with you.

Just interested in your view.
