Its true ... we all find ourselves retaliating from time to time ... whether it is in our best interest or not is a decision only we can make ...

Yes I agree with that in essence ... you make a good point and to add to that we do well to remember that we all demonstrate the potential to adopt/develop a chronic attitude from time to time ... its the nature of the beast. Also as has been mentioned on numerous occasions forum discussion lacks those 'other' aspects of communication which convey intent and meaning with greater accuracy.

And this is what I mean, Bob... not allowing for any view other than your own and feeding conflict rather than communication. You are certainly free to act from this position, but then why are you surprised with people react negatively to your negativity?

I can only post my 'opinion', see my signature line.. i cannot prevent anything or anyone from appearing on the monitor in front of you.. you don't like my opinions, but you can't ignore the truth in them, which is why there is so much contention.. no on e makes you get all caught-up in my posts, but.. Truth is compelling.

Be well..

Sorry Xan and others who may find this offensive but... 'So what?' nothing stopping you from objecting to Tzus way of 'disagreeing' ... same difference my friend ...

If you're talking truth and not feeding that hungry dog, not helping that man who needs an ear to listen to him, not carrying an old woman's bag of groceries, not doing and taking action when it comes, not coming from the heart when it says "Love!" then your truth floats on top of the sea, with no substance, no life, no reality.

The physical may ultimately be an illusion, but it is also God. All is sacred, and that little snake on the road, sunbathing, is taken off the road and put in a safer place- because you love.

Most awesome post! IMO

that goes with tzu too.

and then we will trash talk everything we've done here together in SF.
the same we trash talked our childhood or high school buddies about their crazy stuff back then.

I'm glad you posted this about yourself Hybrid. It is pleasing to know this side of you. It shows me how little we sometimes really know each other here.
Nice to meet you!

Yes, out of context, I would say "so what" to this as well but respectfully I feel that this conversation is much deeper than that and I personally don't think it could have been played out any better or more precise than it has.
What happens from here, if anything, with the main characters involved, only time will tell.
I hope that peace and understanding will be the last one standing.
