: Dhiarmund,
: I know it's a pain to not have people listen, but it's also not the best quality investment of personal time to continue to hold onto past grudges.
: Are they and their past negative posts really worth holding onto the negative memories, really ?
: Dhiarmun, be good to yourself: seek, create, hold onto, and focus the good memories of people's good behaviour and intentions instead.
: You'll feel better after a while.
: I know, it's what I've done with my life.
: And it's made a big huge quality difference in how I feel about it as a result.
: (Not saying that I'm perfect at it, of course not, that's not possible for anyone to be - perfection, that is. I'm just saying that to "up" your over-all "average" of healthy thoughts in the long run is much better than to decrease it, that's all.)
: I wish you peace too,
: Margaret
: : : Why do you want to make people feel so bad about themselves, and their efforts to become a better person? It doesn't say very much about you, and shows that you too are identifying with your ego by pointing out your superiority. You shouldn't make people feel bad about themselves, if YOU are trying to reach essence yourself.
: : : -Emily, be nice!
