That was a good summary from the symposium I will have to cut that out and carry it with me. That was from Rapunzel.

But please be carefull in "asking the borderline" kind of exchange.

This was the phrase that was written By Lenny,

I don't know who this group of people is he is refering to as " Borderlines",

if there is such a "group" they are not to be treated like cattle, cut off at a gate and rerouted or "controlled" in any manner

or taught ...."lessons " On how to be a better person and treat others better.

Even if we have the answers, most people will not be able to accept answers from somebody else. They have to discover their own answers for themselves. Helping them to do that is a skill.

I should have told you back when you responded ..thank you for your answer Rapunzel. I do appreciate someone who can see that my efforts here are because I care. I have made some errors in my approach. I am not trained but know that I have natural ability and so I by this nature tune into the shared concerns of others. It may not be scientific but it all comes to me quite easily. My tone is very calm and respectful as with anyone anytime.
Having said that, it is you whom I might emulate as your sincerity comes through crystal clear. I thank YOU for the lesson. "Be brave,it will make you strong". Ledz

Gosh...

Better late than never is my reply to you Anonymous. Thank you for your input. It is an ongoing challenge but one which is very important to me that I am understood at least in general, that I am a good person without prejudice of others for their issues. I am no different, not better, have flaws, am wrong plenty.
I don't have a problem though after reading a paragraph (the one you responded to), of understanding the well intended point that is made by the author. I will continue to practice tolerance for all opinions as usual but ask you....What text have you drawn your conclusion from?

[Quote=Ledz];Dear billie, Better late..Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness. I agree with you, there has been super input here from everyone. I wasn't aware what I had started but am so glad for the results ...Thank you everyone Ledz
