: : The E'gr is about self-discovery.

: The enneagram is not "about" anything. The enneagram is a thing, a tool, a
: psychological construct. It's not a work of art or literature with a
: built-in theme. We each use it in our own way. The above statement
: expresses a desire originating from an aversion to external judgment, not
: a fact.

: Am I the only one who just HATES those folksy TV commercials in which the
: narrator is saying, "It's about X ... and Y ... It's about P ... and
: Q ..." (always with that same infernal rhythm). I just want to scream:
: "IT'S A CAR/BREAKFAST CEREAL/INSURANCE POLICY! IT'S NOT *ABOUT* ANYTHING,
: GODDAMNIT!" Then I take a deep breath, ask myself why I'm watching
: television in the first place and shut it off.

Geez! Do you have a little pent up frustration? Just out of curiosity, are you a one? Getting really critical of TV commercials seems like a "one thing" to do.
