Danger and Nobility Navy Daze and Vegan Nights

[Guest guest]

Hi Geraldine~

 

Thank you , I appreciate that!

And I agree with you, the gray areas are always hard to find and even

more difficult to explain in words on " paper " . Without the facial

expressions, body language and tone of voice in expression,

interpretations can be taken differently than they were intended.

 

I think that those of us on this group are very passionate in our

beliefs and there are very many of us who have the same core values,

just different ways in following them. So sometimes when we speak

passionately about something, it may come across differently to

another. Especially to someone who is new on this group. Not to

mention that some of us are from differnt states in the US, the UK,

Wales and other countries as well, so we see things differently

because they are different for where we live.

 

I stepped back and read some of the posts to Jennifer and they come

across in what can be viewed as an attacking manner, as if they were

telling her that her views and what she does is wrong. But knowing the

members on this list, I really do not believe that is what they meant.

What they mean in my opinion is to explain their views and beliefs and

why they feel that way.

 

We have all become so comfortable with one another that we are very

open and honest here, sometimes to a " brutal " point. LOL But that

" brutality " is not meant to hurt or attack, simply to speak freely and

honestly to help by giving a new view.

 

So being here so long it is easy for me to see how both sides can take

an issue. So of course being the little meddler than I am (LOL) I try

to even everything out and show different points of view.

 

I don't want Jennifer or anyone else to get the wrong impression of

this group or its members, she came here for support and I hope that

she knows it is truly here. Everyone is being supportive of her, but

just letting her know their thoughts on things.

 

Ok, back off my soapbox for now! LOL

sometimes when someone is trying to make a point it can come across as

harsh. It can be difficult on 'paper' to perhaps expain exactly how

we feel about something, especially when disagreeing with another's

point of view.

lives at times unfortunately. You raised some good points with regard

to danger and nobility in respect of peoples' various types of work

and their beliefs, ending your paragraph " with a mother protecting her

baby " - all in all, well said Nikki
