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. Stan P. |

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. |

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.

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 27698people 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) |

User ID: 415 United States 09/26/2006 05:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 145770 United States 09/28/2006 08:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for this discussion. I'm particularly enjoying Peachblossoms's responses. Quoting: SHELANDRIAI 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? Yep! I hear ya! |
