I have been carrying my "spiritual" hammer round here & whacking some people over the head with it.

If you copped a whack, my sincere apologies.

Like I said in another thread it takes a lot of courage - & humility - to admit when we stuff up.

Personally I think thats a bigger yardstick of recovery than a lot of other things

good on you Whale

Wb im speechless it takes balls to admit when were wrong for what its worth

in my first 3 months i got brought down to earth so many times on so many things i learnt a lot about myself thru others it was a seriously humbling experience and to think i once thought of myself as immortal

i can laugh at myself and the best thing for me on this site is D and everyone elses imput but D has got that midas touch hel tell you he hasnt but he kinda just says things i cant put into words and thru his knowledge i grow

i get things wrong so i ask for advice sometimes and sometimes i go it alone i try to find balance

sometimes i ask the forum but more times than not il just ask D as he will give it to me straight

i was just going to qoute D and say yeah i agree

but to make such a post demands congratulating and i really am congratulating you

If I didn't insult you yesterday, come back tomorrow!
I too hit a couple folk with my hammer awhile back = the enthusiastic beginner syndrome. The next day I had that lousy feeling like I did when I drank of sending texts and VM's to people while intoxicated. I also apologized and most importantly try now to only post under following conditions:

Will my post help the OP in some way - advice and/or encouragement?
Do I have experience in what I am trying to help with?
I am being judgmental / holier than thou attitude when I post and do I display empathy?
Is it better to simply hit the IGNORE button for those I am consistently irritated by? (why do they bother me to begin with?)
Only then do I post. AM I perfect with this approach - of course

When I begin to think I am a spiritual Giant - I realize part of that is correct, if I take away the GI =ant.


But, when I arise in the morn can I feel I am trying to hold myself to that standard?
I sure hope so and if not, PLENTY of friends here to tell me I blew it!!!!


Good post Sir!

Peace
