Thanks for sharing. I have been around closely like-minded people actually. I say closely for a reason. The perspective I have has to do with people and what makes them tick. I'm not referring to actions, but emo's that result in such actions. As well as it's one reason that makes it all the more important to forgive and love one another. Doesn't mean one automatically condones the action. I learned many years ago that while I can't stop what others do I can do my best to do my part not to continue what otherwise would be a continual cycle of such things. Make sense? Even those who hurt us have been hurt whether they chose to admit it or not. Then when we get hurt we tend to do the same or essentially similar, even if it's in a different form. I know many would care to disagree with my following statement, but none the less I believe it's true-2 wrongs don't make a right. Takes a bigger person to treat another kindly despite their pain than it does to "payback" (usually not at those who hadnt commited the initial offense). My son came to my place a few wks ago all excited Bin Laden had been killed. I said how is that good news? He said cuz we got the guy who ordered the killing in NYC. I said I get that, but now we're on alert again. It keeps the cycle going. How is this good? Where does it end? That's a large ie, but it does express how I see at least it works. I could go on and on, but for now I'll stop. Thanks for listening.
