occams razor, sculpted my point of view fairly well......to a logical extend anyways......

but occams double sided blade also cut meaning from my life by the pound......

Well said
But the principle of parsimony should only be applied to
'objective function' But it works to a degree in human relations

If the blade cuts meaning from your life.
Then what was that meaning worth if it can be so easily
cut away.?
Maybe the bottom 2/thirds of your list of a hundred important things.
DID you really need them?
Thats a few pounds of crap you dont have to think about any more.

Occam has found a 'point of fracture' where occams razor can truely
change ones life.

You must cut away the mental link
between

1. Other peoples opinion of who you are and who you should be..and
2. Who you really are.
