Can I butt in? I think this is an important issue.. Sometimes, don't we have to be honest... right or wrong... to help others, or help ourselves? I don't know what posts you're referring to Fuzzy, I rarely read CC for personal reasons.... but I've never read anything by you that could be viewed harsh... I can tell you something though... to be able to hug and love someone who just attacked you is the last thing most people think of, but isn't anger an emotion as much as jealousy, joy, fear? They come in different looking wrappers, it's easy to love someone who's always happy, but hugs are probably more need when someone is angry... it shows care at a time when someone feels isolated and alone, not cared about.. and I understand well the regret of feeling you've said something you shouldn't have.... all I can say is as you said to someone else.... we are all works in progress... If you're lucky enough to have true friends, they will forgive you the occasional outburst... Absolutely it shakes up the atmosphere... look at the state of our National Forests... we've pampered them, coddled them til they are overgrown with combustible fuels .... Can you see how hiding our thoughts and feelings are like that pampering? One day, lightening strikes, and because we've allowed the forest (or relationship) to become dense with overgrowth, we have uncontrollable disasters. In a healthy forest (or relationship) we allow several minifires to occur naturally.. thus preventing holocaust. What do you thiink?
