Acceptance and Will

[Monica]

Monica, I can't go point for point, it's fruitless.

You keep returning to "quickly enough" as if something must be done immediately or ____ (what?). You are afraid of what may happen. You are afraid of death. You are afraid of not doing enough.

Monica, listen to me, sincerely, you must forgive yourself. The burden is not yours.

You disparage my personal experience.
I was the "victim" as you would have perceived it. What you are missing is that I wanted that experience. I am grateful for that experience. I needed that experience in my life.
There is now a unique bond between he and I. Although we never see each other, we each share a memory of this together and we have an invisible bond that connects us at this very moment.

Wow, 3DM, we're just having a friendly discussion! No need to take anything personally or start analyzing another person.

You are mistaken in your assessment of my views. I definitely didn't intend to disparage your experience! Wow, I am astounded that my comments were perceived that way! I'm very sorry for whatever I said that came across in such as way that you would think such a thing. I wasn't even thinking about your personal experience at all. I apologize for inadvertently triggering any hurt feelings in you.

There's no reason to jump to conclusions and make such a grand, sweeping statement as "you are afraid of death." Quite simply, you are mistaken in that. It's not about fear of death at all. Not at all.

It's about a very fine distinction in concept, which I have failed to convey.

We aren't connecting. That's ok. Please just accept that our points are not being understood or accepted by the other, for whatever reason. There's no need to assume that the other person is in a state of fear, or whatever, just because they have a different viewpoint. I feel that my points haven't been understood, and your latest comment (which I see as a misinterpretation) confirms that for me. You apparently feel that I'm not understanding your views, even though in my mind, I am understanding them but just trying to make a different point.

So, let's just leave it at that. I gotta run anyway.

Peace, brother.
