Hello all,

As i read through a great many of the posts the recurring theme seems to be, "can't we all just get along?". Well the answer is, unfortunately, yes and no. We *can* get along with others at times, but not at all times. Geez, we're probably the most touchy enneagram type, with the possible exception of 2 & 6, and we *shouldn't expect* that things will go smoothly all the time. The dynamics of our core type are, after all, working against this. Let's just all agree to disagree at times and go our happy ways. Now I know that this is easier said than done, and I may be the first to backslide, but we owe it to ourselves and others to make the effort. "Can't we all just get along....sometimes?" :)

BTW, I hope you don't think me "presumptuous" for suggesting this. (What say, johnmerrik?
