A Reminder
Kindness goes a long way.
I was otherwise occupied yesterday, so I did not get involved in the conversation in Saturday’s forum. Rather than try and weigh in on a dead thread, let me just remind everyone that these are truly difficult times, and we are all on a bit of an edge. Some of us are also more affected by these times than are others.
I have thoughts about a lot of it, but rather than go into them, could I just make a general appeal that we all try to be kind?
I know we welcome spirited debate, and I fully acknowledge that we all can get on each other’s nerves. But maybe sometimes compassion should trump other reactions, yes?
Try a Little Tenderness
Luddite in the peanut gallery:
“Thumbs up” and “Excellent, dude!”
Ah, bless–and agree.
I have the urge to go listen to some Wyld Stallyns.
Be excellent to each other, indeed.
I said my piece yesterday and then deliberately walked away. Beth deserves a place to talk about what she’s feeling. I just want her to be whole and well. However, I do not have an unlimited capacity for absorbing pain, and I am afraid of saying something hurtful.
@Jay L. Gischer: FWIW, I thought you were kind and reasonable. I appreciate the compassion.
