It took about 34 posts for any constructive discussion to begin on this topic. The constructive discussion in this thread did not occur until the initial energy was diffused.
Whoaaaa, hang on there judge and jury of the constructive consenus.
Hi Chia,
Oops.
Indeed there were posts by Little Sarbon, Cloud Boy, yourself, Lady Hugs, Hereyesupon you and perhaps others that explained thoughts and feelings before the discussion as a whole became more balanced. The shift in energy or towards discussion was not sudden but a drift that occurred over several posts. In my opinion, the general energy of the thread began to settle down after that by Lady Pact in post 46 and others that followed. So, yes, I consider my first set of posts to have occurred at a time when the energy was still riled up and consider some of my posts to contribute to this energy. I do not mean to say that no one offered any discussion until the energy calmed. What I mean to say is that there was little engaging discussion where people listened to or responded to thoughts behind feelings. In majority of the first several posts, the energy was defensive and exchanges back and forth did not address the matter of discussion. If the thread had stopped on the first or second page, I don't think it could be said to have the kind of discussion we can now consider it to have.
By backing up the post number from 46 to 34 to include those by Lady Hugs and Hereyesuponyou, I have given the wrong impression by excluding some posts that took a step further towards discussion and suggesting that I consider my posts exempt. I do not present my posts to be any higher and it would indeed be pretentious for me to hold my posts above those of others. Had I recognized at that time the impression I was conveying, I would have corrected it. That impression was inadvertent, for which I apologize.
Cheers,
Sea
sea, thank you taking note of my words to you. To myself, it is most important
that we not discount the thoughts, feelings and emotions of other individuals
within the forums. We each hold within us the heartfelt understanding of issues
as they identify to us personally. We all rise from that which has shaped our
pattern of thoughts and reasoning, most times unique from those around us.
From which book of laws shall we condemn and predominate, our own, that
of another being whom offers preponderant opinion, existing in ivory towers
of fatuous illusion? Or shall we let the masses speak of that which erupts in
essential desire, which is luminous of their hearts and minds? Some will wax
poetic, a mesmerizing, hypnotic dance of trance, some will splash about in
whirlpools of silly symphonies, gleefully goating their ticklish temperment,
some will stand sturdy with commands of suitability, creased and pressed
of formality, some will gently touch as a whisper, a meek and hesitant breath,
some will advance with sword and shield drawn, to rob, kill and destroy,
some will not come at all, fearful of painful wound and mortal destruction.
The paragon is fleeting and oh so difficult to obtain, and as has been true
here, let them speak, and eventually they will hear one another, no matter
the voices, no matter the path traveled, no matter the meticulous manner
they choose to embrace or deplore. Each voice is a thread in the fabric
of our collective understanding, regardless of our specific taste of adornment.
Respectfully, chia* (the pet)
