After rereading some of my recent posts, I've come to the conclusion that I owe some folks some apologies. I really and truly try to live my life by the Golden Rule and the Great Commandment, as well as the Bodhisattva Vow and Precepts (even though I haven't taken them). I really try to be kind. Looking over my recent posts, I think I haven't been living up to those goals.
I feel I owe special apologies to the following persons.
Nero
Elwood
Tekla
Jack Daniels
Lisagurl
In reality, I don't want to upset, anger, condescend to, or offend anyone. I don't want people doing those things to me, so it's just a practical application of the Golden Rule to not do those things to others. If your name did not appear in the above list but you feel I've wronged you, please let me know, either here or through a PM.
It's only been my goal to contribute my point of view and the things I've discovered in my life so far. I really don't want to sound like some bitter jaded hateful person. But, I have been coming across that way. Why I don't see it while I'm typing it, I don't know. That's no excuse for my behavior, and I hope you all will accept my apologies.
Perhaps my experiences have just not been broad enough. Reading what others post on nearly any given topic suggests to me that I still have a great deal to learn.
It's hard to hear the still small voice, but harder still to use it.
I am truly sorry if I have angered or offended anyone. Please forgive me.
