The Secret Life of Plants

Why pointing at me when talking about yourself?

This is getting ridiculous. (flashbacks from junior high)

OK I'll spell it out: Both Diana and I made attempts at communication and reconciliation. We asked honest questions, in a sincere attempt to understand what you had supposedly found offensive in that other thread (which you brought up). You didn't respond to our efforts but instead insisted we were the ones at fault, while ignoring our actual thoughts and taking zero responsibility for yourself.

We're both willing to take partial responsibility, but we're both quite stunned that you don't seem interested in sharing that responsibility, and instead keep insisting that you are only here to teach us, and keep telling us to look at ourselves, while, apparently, refusing to do so yourself.

Real communication and sharing of feelings is what heals rifts. Not cutesy hearts while shutting down any communication/connection.

Real peace comes from understanding and accepting the other person and their point of view, even though you might not agree with it. Suppressing any differing viewpoints isn't peace. Refusing to engage in discourse just to keep the peace, isn't peace when there is obviously still some negative feeling being suppressed by either party. Just saying the word peace isn't peace. Real peace is accepting the other person (and their feelings and viewpoints) in love, not throwing a jab at them and running away, then accusing them of needing to look in the mirror if they ask you why you jabbed at them. Or worse...sinning. (!)

I had hoped, after 2 weeks, that this could be resolved. But to just repeat the same thing, isn't resolving anything.

That is not a new decision. This thread has been 'left alone' from the start.

Maybe there have been so few posts, because of all the drama.
