Good morning MA,
The HZ isn't really that bad. And the goal here is more intent upon sharing views and viewpoints rather than conversion or persuasion.
You can't let others stubbornness or opinions get you down or allow such views to have a bad effect on your well being. The importance of impersonal detachment. One has to somewhat keep the same detachment here as you would at work.
Folks here care. They really do. You can tell that by the time they put in their responses.
Returning negative with negative - is exactly what you have been preaching against doing. The HZ gives you a great opportunity to test your compassion in regards to people who are insensitive, promote violence or foster selfish attitudes.
Take care MA,
SDAI-Tech1
