It’s hard to quote everything. But it’s a substantial part of the conclusions at the end of the article “Suddenly a Person Rises in the Morning and Feels That He Is a People.”

Once again I made the mistake of agreeing to indulge a questioner’s laziness. I asked for a quote, and you didn’t bring one; instead, you were satisfied with declaring that a significant part of my article says that. I went over the whole thing again and didn’t find even the slightest trace of such a statement. There is one note, and even that isn’t exactly this.
So now I won’t answer until you bring a quote with its context and define the question clearly.
Sorry for the sharpness, but this happens quite a lot and it’s very irritating.

I was hurt. Innocently, I understood it that way from the last two pages of the article and the final note. It’s really hard for me to quote two whole pages—isn’t that legitimate? (It really is a shame that you can’t upload photos of pages here.) So apparently I didn’t distinguish the points clearly enough. But the aggressiveness is upsetting. All right, though, I understand that there are a lot of bothersome and lazy people, and that’s what made you angry. Fine. In any case, I’ll look into it during the day. I hope to find my mistake on my own. If I can’t, I’ll ask.

Thanks for everything!

Shalom,
he wasn’t angry that you understood it that way innocently. He asked you for a reference to the exact place where he said it, so instead of going back to read and look for whether it was really written there or not, you said, roughly, this: “I understood it in a general way from the article, so I’m not going to bother looking; now you go look for me.” When you come to someone and ask him to set aside time to answer, you should try to reduce the burden on him as much as possible. When he explicitly asks you to look for something, don’t leave it to him. That’s rude. So yes, he gave you something that challenges you a bit—to find out whether what you thought was written in the text is actually written there, meaning to read it carefully and check whether you understood correctly or maybe made a mistake. You can give up on the question because you don’t have the energy for it, and you can check, but dumping it on him is simply rude.
