What I love is hearing all the different viewpoints. And I can't, and won't, say any of them are wrong.

Everyone who has posted so far is on the same journey. But we are all taking different paths. Sometimes we learn from another, and change our path a little, take a different road than the one we started. But in the end, we each decide for ourselves what is right for ourselves. We make our own mistakes, and learn our lessons, and keep going.

When OP comes back, I will be interested in talking about the original subject again. GLP is so fascinating in that it offers us the opportunity to learn about ourselves and others, on an emotional level. I have seen the "hydra" in myself, when posting. Not as bad as the examples given, but whenever I find myself posting in defense, or find my emotions are involved, that I want to prove someone else wrong, I try to step back and look at what is going on with me. If anyone wants to talk about that, I'd be interested.
