Hi Diana, I do appreciate your feedback.
It's interesting that you bring up the vegetarian threads because I actually see a huge correlation. I had a discussion with Monica once that was basically the same thing - that she was being too forceful and borderline cruel with her opinion and in actuality, her condemnation of those that she was trying to help was pushing them away from the point she was trying to make. Her MO was telling people that they are "participating in separation" by eating meat. And while I agreed with her, I still stood up for those who I could tell she was obviously causing pain, and encouraged her to take a gentler approach, for their sake.
So, the irony hasn't been lost on me, that we are all mirrors, and I am harping on others to be nicer/softer/gentler. Obviously this is what I desire for myself most of all.
