Peace, Love and Harmony aren't universal.

I never said the way we treat other people isn't important. I think it's very important. I personally am almost always nice to people. If I am not nice to someone it's because A-they damn well deserved it and B-I reached that breaking point you mention.

In any case, what I DID say was, I decided a long time ago that for my SANITY I cannot get upset over every little injustice or rude, messed up thing that a person says or does- online or offline.
And as for what is "important" to me.... if someone says something online, or someone I don't know is rude to me in a parking lot or something... is that important to me? I have to think... is it my family...my kids, my husband, my brother, inlaws, etc? Is it my close friends? Does this effect my life in any way? Does this person matter to me? If it is not something or someone that matters to me, then I have to focus on the people and things that DO matter to me for my own sanity.

 

This isn't an argument but you did turn it into one. And yes, I'm bothered by that (regardless if you think I should or shouldn't be). I'm not willing to get dragged into it any further, AmericanTerrorist.

*unhooks the hook now*

 

Whoa.
Um, what?

I didn't turn anything into an argument. If my posts (which were supposed to be positive and inspiring to you.... meaning I was sharing what helped ME stop being sensitive to negativity online and in life with random people, because yes, people can be cruel), are what you mean by people being mean or negative or whatever.... then I have to say you are just waaay over sensitive and misinterpreting things.
I highly doubt anyone else would read what I wrote to you in this thread and think I was "arguing" with you.

 

I've got it correct, you turned it into an argument. I'm not dependent on other people to agree with me, their opinions about it won't matter as much to me as my own does. I'm not going to respond to any more, I'm letting it come to a rest. You can move past it, with me, or keep it going. Up to you, but I'm letting you know where I stand.

 

LOL....right on chica.

Just didn't know anyone was arguing. Kinda funny to me now... but since I know you are sensitive it's also kinda sad, since I was just trying to be nice and helpful to you. Have a good night.

 

I have to go get my husband up for work but I just wanna say really quick, if you wanna show me what I said that you took as mean or me arguing with you, go ahead. I guarantee I wasn't trying to argue or be mean in any way and I'm very confused about why you would think that. I'd say sorry for hurting your feelings but I didn't intend to in any way so I'll just say I'm sorry you took things the wrong way.

 

The child says that someone wished that space, time, and matter would be instead. But the reason also wanted to communicate and tell the rest that for Procol Harum: they said there was no Reason for just what you called Peace, Love, and Harmony. The ambiguity is more interesting or Something.

Really, ambiguity? Need to eat a common salad for hyperbole.:drool5:

 

He's up. I'm back.
Anyways.. I don't even know if you're for real or not but anyways, all I wanted to say is I used to be very sensitive to people's remarks and stuff and was just trying to explain to you what worked for me - how I learned to prioritize what people say based on who they are to me and how that was important for my own inner peace, sanity and happiness.
and I can assure you I don't argue w people online. I don't argue with people at all really. And I certainly am not sitting here pregnant arguing with anyone-online or offline being that I believe stress is extremely bad for a pregnancy. I believe if you're gonna be stressed, just go smoke some crack.. it's just as harmful in pregnancy.
So, good luck dealing with whatever it is in your mind that you're dealing with...

LOL... now you're disliking my posts I see. Girl, you got some real issues.
How do you live worrying about other people so much???

 

I think it was Jonathan Davis (KoRn) who sang that peace was boring, or something to that effect. I don't agree. Danger is thrilling for some people, fighting is sport and championship. A few years ago, two movies were released at the same time: Hunger Games and Bully (a documentary). Bully was caught up in controversy over it's rating but even if it hadn't been, people weren't interested. They wanted Hunger Games. That's what's appealing to them, I'm that minority where Hunger Games was repulsive and Bully was more interesting.

Oh well.

 

The line is: now I remember after checking: "There is no reason: the truth is plain to see."

 

Global day of action for free journalism on Al-jazeera: going on Now. It isn't my fault but I have to understand;

Can't watch it. Have to go to aljazeera.com/america to view content available in the U.S.

Interesting website though, thanks for sharing it.

Boy, do I hear you with that quote, Gina.....I guess it is the same reason most people will run by or over some homeless person sleeping in the street to go see the car crash at the end of the block....same reason people love to watch bullfights ....same reason crowds showed up for hangings in olden days....and for throwing people into pit with a lion.....It beats the hell out of me. I would vomit to see an of it. My brother walked out of a bull fight once. He could not stand to see it...I was so proud of him, when he told me that.
They have done studies of ape and chimp colonies....and although, most will take care of the monkeys in their own clan, they could not care less about a neighboring tribe...
I think humans at their base levels are much like this....and have not evolved to a more gentler level....Dolphins, who supposedly have more fissurization in their neo cortexes than us, are gentle. I think it takes intelligence to be kind and gentle to all people. I know not everyone is....and I look for those who are, and by golly, they are in my heart forever....

 

a happier Paul song now...one of my favorites by him...

Or maybe it takes a value system.

 

Dolphins, who get caught up in fishing nets....who get slaughtered for dolphin meat....and who have had humans viscious to them, will help a person lost in the water, STILL, and they have no values, I don't think.....anyway.....
I was born kind...before I even knew what the word value meant....You cannot teach a good-kind heart, I don't think....

 

That's a value, or the act of a value. But that's dolphins and we're not dolphins. I was born kind, too .. always sticking up for the underdog. It was just my nature. I didn't have to "learn" kindness but I have learned unkindness. So much of it and so extreme that I recognize it for what it is, and it's just evil. But I don't think people are born evil. If anybody is born evil, then there's a gene for it haha

 

ginalee14… you're entitled to your opinion.

I happen to agree with you. The nasty youtube wars and troll shit people avoid, condone, turn the other cheek, shrug off.. its totally unacceptable and inappropriate for people to treat others that way online/offiline. Anyone who says its not a big deal, "its just the internet", is fooling themselves.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.


Stand strong with your opinion woman!


And don't think that your opinion is insignificant. Little ole you can change the world. Chaos theory baby, butterfly effect. Keep fluttering your wings sunshine face!


.

 

Yeah, I hear you....I always stick up for the under dog , too....Never could pick on the people others were picking on and all that jazz, either....would make friends with them...LOL

 

"but I've learned unkindness..."

Very profound quote there, Gina. I know what you mean. I lose it, too, at times. Who the hell is perfect anyway?
