Personal attacks in any form will not be tolerated. There is a fine line between intellectual discourse and personal attacks whose main goal is to attack the poster, and not the subject / topic at hand. The latter does not cultivate healthy discourse, but rather, animosity and destructive criticism.
All the best.
You said it all, Wolf. The beauty of life is that it has its ups and downs; and it is really what we make of it. If we choose to be positive , then it has an effect. If we choose to be negative and sulk, then it also has an effect. But as you point out in your message to us in this topic thread; we all have a chance to make a difference to inspire and help a fellow human being when they are in need, down in the dumps, what ever it may be. And in the end, making a difference for the positive is a source of inspiration and an inspiring act in itself for those being helped and around.
The great Hindu philosopher and Indian national hero, Mahatmas Gandhi (other wise known as "Gandhi-Ji), once said : "Be the change you want to see in the world."
Warm Regards.
and so is there a fine line between truth and self-packaging, between ego and preaching. be that as it may, since you are in the position to tolerate or not and to judge what is personal and topical in this forum, i hope that you carry enough humility, in keeping with the way and the truth and the light whom you so often mention, to be able to tell the difference and to practice your forum power with magnanimity.
it goes without saying that the real test of character is how a person in power practices that power sparingly.
you deleted a certain ‘mark’ when you started your online bible study after he asked you a question, and then you went on and on with your bible quotes and interpretations as if, and i take care to say as if, the multitude should be awed and must listen and obey.
well, there’s a whale of a difference between ‘sanctimonious’ and ‘sanctity’. as for me, if i needed a homily, i’d go to church.
i believe this forum is also about news and fun and humor. and ideas, the kind that flows in the currents of the mind when one has the luxury of time away from one’s daily cares, ideas that cross the mind in a flash like lighting that could go in any direction across a dark sky. this forum catches and records those. and we are all the better for it.
