Great thread! +Karma for OP.
Please, more threads like this on GLP.....less threads about racist, violence, delusion and anger!
Quoting: TheSuperMarket that will never happen, way to many "PAID EMPLOYEE'S"
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1462016 Everyone calling each other shills is part of the problem, too. I've been called a shill, and I've seen people called shill or whatever-tard in at least half the threads I open. It is sickening.
Usually people only call others shills when the person disagrees with them or reaches a different conclusion.
If everybody worried LESS about what others post, and instead strive to only post threads , and replies with the BEST of intentions, we'd be a LOT better off here ;)
Quoting: TheSuperMarket I completely agree with you and think people on here have gone too far with this "shilling." I like number 8 from the list that talks about learning from those who have opinions different from your own. GLP is a great place to find people at all levels of consciousness; however, we must know how to take the good with the bad.
8. Conscious People
Conscious people raise your consciousness. Unconscious people lower it.
Seek out others you perceive to be at a higher level of consciousness than you are. Talk to them, ask questions, and enjoy their presence. Allow their ideas and awareness to infect you, and you’ll find yourself expanding in all directions. You’ll become more honest, more courageous, more compassionate, and so on.
But spend time with people at a lower level of consciousness, and you’ll gradually sink to their level. Their thoughts will infect you as well, causing you to become more dishonest, more fearful, more apathetic, etc.
Strive to find a balance between spending time with those who raise your consciousness vs. spending time with those you can help. Learn from those who are a little more conscious, and help those who are a little less conscious than you. In this manner you serve the highest good of all, expanding consciousness everywhere.
