something all should know... (325)
jbibiza: I have to disagree with what you say...
A heart that is open will always be vulnerable to suffering, it will also be available to great joy. It is incredibly selfish to only put out a stream of love... we must also be available to receive love and a loss will obviously cause pain. Can there be any greater pain than losing a child?? That pain is equal to the incredible unconditional love a parent has for a child.
Without darkness there is no light, without pain there is no joy. Our lives are a balance of negative and positive and to live only one side of that is to live only half a life.

somehow... OPEN heart (surgery or carvig out) did not make my list of joyful things to do !!!!!!!

Lee464: I'll share joy and love and excitement with you anyday...but how can you, as a friend, ask me to share in something that I understand as unnecessary?
If you child was about to put a finger into a wall socket, would you join her and suffer the pain together, or would you attempt to explain that she doesn't need to experience that pain as you know of a way that she can avoid it?

Well this has been interesting...What can this thread teach us about humanity?
Lets see...
1) If you want peoples attention create controversy and be brutally honest. My tactic of creating a thread on a topic that very few people are interested in and then being brutally honest with my replies to posters from the onset had this thread explode to the 5th highest replied thread in the Broken hearts forum and got my op viewed 3200 times in 3 days. not bad. But notice how after I discontinued my uncivil behavior and began to ignore the inflammatory posts, the thread, no longer providing what the majority of posters wanted, died.
2) The majority of people on a thread about giving love, on a dating site are not interested in love or honesty but more interested in conflict and derision. The majority of the posters on this thread are not on this dating sight looking for love or honest relationships...they are here searching for their next sparring partner. They will no doubt find one and proceed to make each other miserable until one of them feels like the winner and ends the partnership and comes back here in search of their next combatant. The one who gets dumped will no doubt find their way back here to the Broken Heart forum to cry on the shoulders of the others who are here for the same reason.
I think this thread serves as a microcosm for the world at large Think of it as a study group representative of the bigger picture of humanity. It's a sad reflection of what we've become...a bunch of miserable, victimized, hypocrites, who, having lost the capacity to feel love desperately cling to the one emotion they can understand...pain.
Hope springs eternal and there was a small glimmer of hope. There were about 4 people in these 16 pages who showed a desire to grow and better themselves...and it's that glimmer of hope that I cling to...
have a nice day.

This is soooooooooooo not true.Most of the people who tried to have a reasonable discussion with you were treated with derision by yourself for not agreeing with your way of thinking. I believe you told me to S.T.F.U. What does that make you!
Perhaps you would like to spread your love on the PINK RIBBON thread where it will do more good.

Best, chill out the experiment is over...no reason to continue to make my point.
You are only acting this way because you have invested your ego here...I didn't make that mistake. So I can let it go...do the right thing and let it go yourself.
I wish you no ill will. Go back a reread the thread(I just have) try reading it objectively...you should see that after I responded rather harshly in my 3rd post that brought out Hope who got upset and lashed back...I continued to try and post with honesty and granted I pulled no punches in my reply...but then it was other posters who kept upping the ante with insults and snide remarks until it culminated on page 10 with me pulling out all stops and making the remark you wrote above...
But really it's over now...just let it go.
