What was it? What was Alex going to say? What did he say, and then backed away from?

This was posted on my "Filler Episodes" post, which seemed from the idea of filler episodes from Alex's own "Filler Episodes" post. 

Looking back, Alex's post was all about how he didn't want his life to be full of filler episodes and how he wanted zero filler episodes in his life. My post was about how our lives are filled with filler episodes and how we need to embrace it. In other words, looking back, my post kind of seemed like an attack on his ideas.

I want to be clear: I loved Alex's idea. I wrote my post not to tear him or his ideas down, or to bash them, or to say "well, those ideas stink. My view is better." Because I don't want to tear his ideas down, I don't want to bash him, and his ideas are awesome. But maybe he perceived my post like that, and write a comment along the lines of "Andrew, what the heck? Why are you attacking my very passionate blog post? How could you tell me to 'get over it' if my days weren't productive? Not cool dude."

So I want to apologize if that's how my post came across.

I think both of our ideas co-exist. Alex was talking mainly about progression, and how he didn't want a single day of his life to be spent idle and having life pass him by. The entire idea of his post, I feel, could be summated in: Keep progressing, every day. Which I agree with. The gospel says we need to continually progress, and if we're not, we're actually regressing. So Alex was on point. My post was saying that we need to live our lives today, or else we'll find our yesterdays empty. Which is also what Alex say saying: if you don't work at living your lives today, you'll find your yesterdays empty, nothing more than filler episodes on what should have been a chance for you to grow.

TL;DR: I'm afraid that I offended by brother by one of my blog posts when it wasn't the intention and we actually have the same idea on the topic and I wanted to apologize.

Or maybe I'm looking WAY too deep into this.
