I have a hard time even killing most bugs (except cockroaches). I'll take them outside and let them go.

People should never mistake gentleness for weakness though.

I like killing rats. I torture them first to see if they have any good intel.

I believe that we gain COMPASSION through our experiences of SUFFERING.

Most people do not have compassion (or willingly attempt to destroy their compassion with "cremating care" rituals).

Don't worry, there will be more TRIBULATION for learning and sorting.

I agree

I too think compassion can be learned or gained by imagining yourself in the position of another person suffering and how you would feel if you were in that position.

LTC Peach Blossom, i hope you understood and agree to my explanation why am still mad about GLP deleting any thread i post, like the one they deleted today. it not the first time, its always the case, that why i resorted to never start my own threads.

two out of five people i grew up with, were either Somalis or Ethiopians from either kenya or from those two countries. We did damm things together.

my heart bleed for what has happened to those two countries since i know whose responsible and their aim. one of those responsible is USA, Isreal AND THE islamic ARABS. these punks think they have a right to own those people country and their people.

of late they are very busy trying to lie to these people that they (somalis and ethiopians) are not black africans but are hindu or white or arabs. this is a story for another day.

any way to prove my point i will copy and re-post that thread and see if GLP will delete it again like it did today.

You will know the Star Children from their inability to cause pain and suffering to other living beings.

These souls were sent to be reincarnated on Earth to be here during this time period. Without the balance of their light, all would be darkness and dispair and humans would distroy each other and the Earth.

So rejoice, gentle ones. Just by your nature you are saving humanity. Love, kindness, compassion - sends waves of light like a balm over open wounds.

Such people are on the point of oblivion.If you lose your capacity to hate, you lose your capacity to do anything worthwhile; if you do not hate the things that threaten the things you love, you will lose the things you love.

Re: Did you know there are people so gentle that...
Not only could they not hurt anyone physically, they couldnt even hurt peoples feelings, doing either causes them pain. It is amazing to me how people can live in such a world as this. Are you one of those gentle people? How do you feel about this world?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27698



people like us dont want to hurt people because 1. we know how it sucks to feel like that.

2. my favorite one, read it on another forum, we are angels :') made me laugh, I cam frome my mothers pussy, how can i be a frikin angel! :P

3.wel you get the point.


Only thing that sucks is, people say you are nice and like an angel. but after a while they only talk about their feelings to you, and they wont listen to what you have to say, It really makes me sad.

also, this world needs te be "reconstructed".



*yes I am one of those gentle people, but believe me. I wished I wasn't, it hurts me to bad. even with gals, you talk about their feelings, and you start to like them, after a while, you say that to them, then you find out they don't like you, and they start acting weird, and then it goes all wrong and you can start trying to get your friendship fixed again, Trust me. The live of one off those gentles sucks, (atleast it does for me)

What about when he over threw the money changers in the temple? He also had some harsh words for the Scribes and Pharisees – lawyers/attorneys & religious politicians of His day. Not so gentle there, would you say?

Re: Did you know there are people so gentle that...
If you look at someone who treats people with kindness all the time, you will see that people do take advantage of them.

There is a difference between kindness and disrespect in the same manner that a gap resides between kindness and weakness.

The trick in life is to only allow those that you deem worthy of your time to be near you.

Keep others at bay by letting them see a side of you that really isn't you....the bad side.

If you don't have a bad side, you have to develop some sort of negative front for people to see and be less interested.

When you tire of your own personality.....simply invent a new one. Make several different characters with which you can become at any time chosen.

It's not just a mental disorder.....it's something you can turn on and off like a switch and use to your advantage.
-Be carefull what you wish for.

There is no crime for being gentle,kind giving,caring,passive or even timid.Has anyone ever defended the weak?Championed the poor?Doused the flames of hatred or an argument with kindness,or good?It beats being a thieving,taking,selfish,loud boisterous asshole anyday.Yeah I'll stand up for the weak or the bullied,anyday.I was a victim of those bullying,not anymore.To me they are what I consider non-people,meaning they do not exist.As stated in the earlier post,adapt and overcome.Peace is better than seeking out conflict.

I was to, a few days ago, I saw this little kid being bullied, the took his school bag and stuffed it into a garbage can, so i tapped the victim on his shoulder asking what was wrong, he told me everything. so i got to the kid who did it, obviously by the look of him, the lord of his gang, grabbed him in the neck, but like you grab a kitten, asked him to get the bag out of the garbage can, take out the books and put them in his won bag and hand over the bag to the kid, he did it, that other kid actually thanked me, and lots of the friends of the other kid were like just standing there, and like very scared nd stuff, I keep an eye out for the victim, he is on my school, everytime he sees me he smiles and says thanks :) its wonderfull ;D

I have found that the "gentle people" are really people who have not had real life strike them in the face over and over so have just not developed strategies for survivial in the real world.

faced the harshest circumstances one can

Treat everyone with the same consistency of respect, etc etc. etc.

But that does NOT mean that you have to trust ANYONE.

I have lived on Earth a little over 5 decades. Life has beaten and trampled me more times than I care to remember. I have gotten back up, stronger each time.

Being gentle doesn't mean you're a rug and allow people to walk over you. It means you have compassion for all life.

Re: Did you know there are people so gentle that...
Thank you for this discussion. I'm particularly enjoying Peachblossoms's responses.

I have withdrawn quite a bit from people after getting hurt repeatedly, and instead have found and used other creative ways like writing to reach out and touch people.

Sometimes, dealing with people directly feels too harsh - especially if they are prone to take advantage of people. In this case, I either get confrontative or worry too much about how to act with them (both before AND afterwards) which usually is very confrontative beforehand, but then, when it comes time to talk to them, I'm usually more gentle than I intended, which often makes me afraid that I'll just be taken advantage of again....

Anyone else have conflicts over dealing gently with those who don't exactly deal gently with you?
