Mod Note
Hi guys (and ladies),
Just your friendly neighborhood Mod popping in for a quick reminder about the First Guideline of these forums, which can also be considered the most important one, as this is a community based around positive seeking.
Positive seeking does not mean we only talk about positive things; the positive path sees all things as open for discussion, including the opposite path, that of STS.
However, we do ask that you keep things civil, and not resort to personal insults and impled snide remarks.
Another point to remember is that each individual has come to certain understandings and realizations during their life experience. Those personal understandings are uniquely shaped by one's life circumstances, and so trying to convey the exact nature of one's understandings can be difficult when others have not had a similiar set of experiences. Frustrations can come up. One can feel that the other-self is not trying to get your point.
But we ask that you try to take the high road when such frustrations come up. There is no need to talk down to people if you don't think they get your point.
