Like in that debacle of a thread I posted some days ago, I absolutely loved the raw and honest emotion that was being expressed. The reason is that I don't take it personally which is why I thanked them for it. I take what people say and analyze it to see if what they are saying is based upon their own imbalances or something I'm not seeing within myself. A lot of times, it's a bit of both so I hope they are benefitting as much as I am.
What if they are not 'benefiting'? What if, in fact, you're encountering someone who is seriously looking for a compassionate community of like-minded individuals but hasn't quite progressed to your level of self-awareness? Or what if the communication style of the individual you're in dialog with is such that your direct words are misinterpreted?
In this type of forum, it seems to me that it would serve others more effectively to not 'hope they are benefiting', but to be sure what we share doesn't, in fact, hurt or push away the individual who is searching in the same way we all are.
Just sayin......
Namaste dear Jeremy.
