intense feelings of homesickness

[Meerie]

That is lovely, Ankh! It somehow reminds me of the story of Gurdjeff, and his disciples... one disciple was lazy, insolent and unreliable... all the other disciples were complaining about him and wanted him to leave. Gurdjeff even paid this disciple that he would stay. he then said, "well how else would you learn love" or to love unconditionally.. do not exactly remember the story.
one thing for sure... all these "disruptive posters" provide us with a lot of catalyst.
Nevertheless to love unconditionally does not mean you can never say "no" to that person or to tolerate all kinds of obnoxious behavior.
I am trying to put myself into the mind of someone who sees that many others complain about his style of posting... in that case, I guess I would humbly apologize if my behavior caused hurt to others and I would try to be more friendly in the future.
Unless of course I was trying to disturb on purpose.
I just think with harvest approaching, more and more people will try to polarize, be it positively or negatively. What better way to polarize negatively than to enter a spiritual forum and try to cause dissent among the positive ones? Engage them in debate and disperse their energies?
