Thanks for the recipes. ;-)

And this too shall pass. Take all of ERs heat with a grain of salt. He, like yourself, is validating and defending his worldview.

And I know this wont be popular, but you have to remember that good ol' mirror principle. You used ERs words against him to demonstrate such, but your own words too could be used against you in the same manner.

You are very critical of those who criticize. Tit for tat (or something like that ;-) will always just keep the animosity burner on high, when it really just needs to simmer and be allowed to cool down.

Let the chips fall where they may, turn the other cheek and return negative with positive. That creates cancellation. Two wrongs don't make a right, they merely strengthen a negatively biased wave form. Someone needs to have the strength to grab those negatively biased emotional weeds out by their roots and plant positively biased seeds in their stead.

One needs to decide if one wants to have a garden full to the brim with emotional upheaval or one that is peaceful with only an occasional weed of intolerance, resentment or frustration that needs to be tended to. If the latter is one's desire one needs to nurture all interactions (including the nasty ones) with that positive bias.

I know how easy it is to fall off that wagon and one feels justified to let both barrels rip into one's "adversary". Just look at what's going on all over the HZ - and throughout the world. However, the satisfaction is short-lived and one realizes one has only added more negative wave forms that will need to be attended to and balanced in the future.

End of SDAI-Sermon for today.
