We've all seen what acting the other way accomplishes. |

TY but no I gave credit to the authors.....Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval...... I was thinking of people like Josie in here when I came upon this... Changed it a little to fit GLP.... In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. ______________________ "When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

Sudel_Tekneeq User ID: 210340 United States 03/23/2007 06:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Haven't read the article you posted OP, but I would like to say something. I've had depression, anxiety throughout my entire life, recently having it cured somehow. I've faced death at an early age multiple times. Eventually, and now.. I've realized what I personally should change about myself in order to live a better life. And being kind and tolerant of the environment and people around me is one of them. I'm intolerant of MANY things, and I disagree or dislike A LOT of things in the world today. But because of my troubled past, I find it somehow easy to ignore the anger and hatred, and express it with kindness and generosity instead. However, releasing anger from time to time IS healthy - as a recent scientific article does suggest. So what I do for that is debate very important issues, with friends, classmates, etc.. that does the same to me as releasing pointless anger does.

Quoting: Sudel_TekneeqYou are a very advanced soul, truly. You are becoming self-aware and you are discovering what makes you emote. Next it might be good to explore your 'programmes' and go within to discover the joy that's inside you. Any one of the spiritual threads here may suit you. I admire you for your spirit and your honesty. Good luck and much love on your path.... Divinity OP - your wonderful thread has proven how easy it is to link with your brothers/sisters. Kindness is always more powerful than violence of any kind. Thank you for highlighting that fact.

Random User ID: 213159 Ireland 03/23/2007 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Loving-kindness and forgiveness are what a complete human being offers his brothers and sisters...but if that is rejected and rebuked and violence threatened, only a fool doesn't know how to defend himself and, if necessary, destroy the enemy. One might achieve this completeness of action and being in ones short, surreal life: but don't expect everyone to be the same. Evil exists and must be opposed on all levels and senses, including violently if need be. NO great lover of Man has ever been less than a great fighter also... |

I know their day will be better just because I listened and chatted for a few minutes. |

I've been trying to say this here at GLP for a long time and I have to admit there are some rude and nasty people here and have gotten many nasty replies in the past. I think it's time to start here and now. I'll never understand why people have to be so nasty to one another. |

I was always really nice, handsome, a good employee ..... I was an idiot. It does not pay off. Since i use my ellbows, act as ignorant asshole and do a lot of secret mobbing there is much more money in my pocket. Forget *positive thinking* and all that crap. I doesn´t care if people like you or not if you are good in what you are doing. Only stupid people have to act friendly because there is no background, just fassade.
