It does not take too long for anyone new to the boards to decipher who the trouble makers, very insecure posters are by their responses or what postings they initiate. Nor does it Sykes long to meet compassionate, kind posters. I enjoy different opinions even if I don't agree. I don't come to the boards every day, but it does not take be long to catch up. I remind myself that posters are from all over the states or countries. From childhood, we all are raised differently with different values and life experiences. Everyone reacts from what they have struggled with all during their life that is ingrained from their past teachings and to present times. Some are wealthy, middle class or maybe poor. Who really knows? Some have a higher college degree and some barely graduated high school. That does not tell me who they are in real life as to how their they live or what their inner intelligence might really me. Their words do. Some have lived their life long dreams and some are working toward that. Some own their home paid in full and some are in the process of working toward that while others rent for various reasons. In life, I listen and learn from others, We all get angry, we laugh, we hurt, we celebrate, we have empathy, we reach out, we are rejected, we forgive and at times we must pull back for a season. The longer that I live the more I learn each day. Wow, such a magnificent gift! No, what people say or share does not bother me long term. Yes, it does for a few minutes. But they are in life's program, as well. We all get there in time, if we desire. No one should leave any boards to justify their feelings. It just does not work that way if we want to participate in life, learn and really live a quality life. We all have value and thoughts to share. Many blessings, good thoughts to everyone.
