Sometimes I think there are acts of kindness that people do; like responding to posts is a good example. If you can share life experience, or comfort, or pointers, even hard truths than sometimes that can make a big difference.

I have seen people come in here full of themselves, angry, rebelling, looking for a fight, grieving, so painfully lonely, or even contemplating some really serious choices that effect not just them but their entire families and they just need honest feedback on. Sometimes they like the answers; sometimes not. Sometimes they listen sometimes not.

It doesn't happen a lot but over the years; most the times when people have and aha moment they are too busy to report it but I have had enough say you made me hesitate, check myself, ask the right questions, even quit conning myself because you said what you said to so and so or to me and that makes it worth while.

I know a lot of times my words fall on deaf ears or are written off as old fashioned, out of step, or unfair because they have convinced themselves they are the exception but if that is the case I figure at least I tried. If I am right well maybe I spared someone the skinned knees and broken hearts that were ahead on the path they were on. If I am wrong well very rare I tell anyone to do anyone dirty except to stop being someone else's doormat and I can live with that. I may be wrong but I have seen over my lifetime that the majority of times people need a second chance is they screwed up their own first chances with jumping into risky choices.

Nor does it mean they can be harassed into it.
Nor should you attribute your own agenda to them.

That is true and I feel my anger would have made my comment look wrong. I feel bad now..tears
It was never my intention to harass anyone or write anything to provoke

Yeah you are right...after yesterday`s incident I was very angry so my comment would have gone in that direction but I never wanted it to sound that way or hurt anyone. You guys are my friends and I always respect my friends.

Thanks peggy, I just wanted to bring back some of my believe by seeing other`s act of kindness. A selfish act of mine I guess

...And by admitting you are human and beautifully flawed, ( like the rest of us), you are restoring faith in humanity to someone else.:smile:
