In my opinion peace and prosperity between two sides is rarely achieved when one side tells the other that they are wrong.

you are wrong, as demonstrated in your above dubbing of the very fundamentals of existence, thought, emotions and interactions not only in this solar system, but universe at large, as transitory. End quote.
In my opinion when engaged in an argument for your point of view it would be more helpfull if you presented your opinion and then left it at that. Allowing the other side to observe and hopefuly consider your proposition and then decide wether(Sp?) or not they are willing to change their point of view to encompass the new material. What I see you doing is providing a different point of view which is different or opposite then the other side's Pov and I am thankful for that. It helps me to see the subject at hand differently then I would normally have seen it, and that is very helpfull. So thank you. However the way you present your Pov (at least the way I see it presented) as being correct and true and therfore it is correct and true for everyone else, is very likely to rub other people who see the subject differently the wrong way. And this can then cause friction in the group and possibly hurt feelings. I thought that the whole point of setting up an online community for TLOO was to discuss all of our different points of view in a safe and welcoming environment that was welcoming of others viewpoints and accepted them as valid to that person. And for the most part I see that, but over the time I have been here I have occasionally seen the type of behavior that is characteristic of other forums such as ,putting others down for having a different viewpoint that doesnt jive with ones own, telling others they are wrong(which implies(even if it isn't true) that one is superior to another and that their viewpoint is correct and others should then belief the same), and letting arguments(disscusions) become arguments(fighting for your viewpoints superiority). I would also like to point out that Quo always says to use your own discresion when reading their words and to let whatever doesn't work for you drop away and to move on from it. So why shouldn't we do the same? I mean,yes let's discuss different aspects of TLOO but let us not start fighting because our viewpoint is threatened by another's. Why can't we just accept another's viewpoint and move on if we feel friction? Or better yet look inside and figure out why we feel friction in the first place. This is not just directed at you Unity but also at the rest of the form. I have seen an increase in the behavior of my Pov is superior to yours and I will now do everything to make you believe it to. And I feel sad that we all can't get along. Personally I see all Povs as valid as we are all in our own little bubbles of reality that keep bumping up with others and exchanging information and sometimes love. Of coarse this is all just my opinion so if it doesn't work for you just let it fall away like a leaf in the wind. . So that post got away from me and I don't even know if it was all about the same topic. I just wrote what was coming up from inside as a constant stream of thought. Anyway
Thanks for reading my thoughts,

And may you all have a happy and bountiful day
I suddenly have a huge welling up of affection for all of you even though I don't personally know any of you.
