Has Charlooch turned into a nice guy?

Question

I still can't reply to your e-mails. What was your answer to my original question?

Answer 1

I realized after reading my answers and the answers of others that they came from a place of hate which was really unproductive to what I think this forum could be. I have a choice to choose how I respond and to realize that the people asking the questions will most likely not have the same experiences of knowledge or resources and that it is more important to read and understand where their frustrations come from so I can make a better connection to the world around me. That is why in a past question I stated that you are one of the most misunderstood people on here. When you bring up an issue like abortion your not chastising the people that have had one but the way I see it now is that you are frustrated that they didn't make a better choice for their life......I am sure they feel the same.....but instead of seeing thru your worded question they just knee-jerk react and don't comtemplate the "choice".....just the reaction of a defemsive response that does not illicit understanding from other peoples point of view. If I could use an analogy I recently heard...
If you cut an orange in half and squeeze it what do you get? The answer ofcourse is orange juice....but why? The awnser to that is because that's what is inside.....but when someone squeezes you and the response is anger or hate well the reason is because thats what is inside....the difference between us and the orange is our God given gift to choose what comes out of us. So moving forward I rather make the choice to be a better listener ...or show compassion or humor. This forum could be a great tool if we break away from the judgemental attitudes we are taught to have the moment we come into this world and see that there is a genuine connection between all of us even with our diverse backgrounds and our views of the world around us. Sorry about the long winded answer...Peace
