i think we have all had to deal with bullys at some point in life.
when we moved into a new neighborhood years ago and my boys were
7 and 8 some teenagers decided they were going to bully them. when i told them that if they did it again i was going to smack them silly they stopped.
it is the only language that bullys understand imo. self righteousness imo is a form of arrogance. bottom line i guess in the interactions here is do u like the people u are interacting with. if u do before u post anything u will consider your words. and again were communicating on the internet . it is not a real life conversation. and again we reach an impasse as there is a basic difference in points of view. but at least now i understand the points of view of some others are really and truly different than mine. that doesnt bother me at all my best friend is a buddhist lol and we were just talking yesterday about the may 21 date for the return of christ that so many were talking about . i told him and he agreed that when people say the return of christ what they are really talking about is the establishment on earth of the kingdom of heaven. and i said it is really and energy that people want they could really care less if christ came back and brought peace on earth or if it was lee iacocoa who came back and brought peace on earth. would christians be dissapointed if buddha came back and established a kingdom of peace and ended all war and all suffering . i guess some would be but not this one i would love it. what i personally am looking for is the energy of love in human interactions and the placement of our priorities on the welfare of people and not the ridiculous accumulation of wealth where some have billions of dollars and others have none. and when i say i am a christian i mean i follow most of the teachings of christ. i disagree with some of the stuff i see written down that was said by christ. and if i met christ personally and he didnt like me i would have no use for him. if it was an effort for him to interact with me and he was condescending to me it would be the end of my relationship with him. and i truly like people . i like people at work i like people in my family i just like people i see a lot of good in most people much more good than anything else. it is just that society encourages us to be competitive with one another that pits us against one another. it seems we have this feeling that we have to outdo each other and sadly in the course of doing that we put others down. i dont have to outdo anybody . because i like people and i am sensitive to their needs i am careful of how i communicate. i dont make fun of or belittle others as their pain is painful to me. i really and truly hope that all on this board find happiness as i can see good in all here. if u disagree with me fine no problem just please express it gently.
anyway everybody have a great day
