Feastie, you and Propietrix also missed my point completely. I try again, but i doubt we will find common ground. The situation as described in the opening post is a difficult situation. As it is said in a Talmund commentary about malicious gossip (that (the malicious gossip) is bad for 3 persons, the one who made the comment, the one who did not hinder the first and the person it is concerning) i would assume (notice assume because i am not befriended with one of this three persons and even if, i have found myself in situations where 2 friends once lovers stood against each other suddenly and i heard both sides and there was not one guilty party) it is a bad situation for three people the opening poster, her dom and her husband(and i tend to think like some here, if i were him, i would wish, that someone who proclaimed to love and respect me, do not lie to me), involved. So feastie and Propietrix, we are not that far away from each other in first personal judgement. What i was writing about and what i find a very bad and non constructive behaviour is the way some use that situation to act different things out. Hate, Comtempt, and so on and this only to feel as a better person. Here in Europe we have not the death penalty and we have not such a lot of christian fundamentalists, so maybe this way of Moral Majority Talk is not as widespread as in the U S A. Before somebody else understand me wrong, i am sure (ok, i Hope so!) that not all of the Moralistis want to send this opening poster and her dom on death row or burn them (good, old christian method) but some of the post smell for me a tad of that,,,,way. And as i was raised as in a protestant household (family member minister) i know a lot about christianity, but i know for sure when people leave this belief system. Hating for the fun off it, comdemming for personal gain is in no religion that i know off, ok. And when you leave the religious systems than you come to philosophies. Two weeks before there was a demonstration here in Berlin, concerning a big problem (we have now in Germany around 6 million people on the dole, and there is no work and they are cutting the social benefits, although we still belong to the richest countries in the world), there were a lot of very old and handicapped people there and although there were some left wing radicals, there was no violence out of the demonstration, But, (and they are building a case at the state attorney against him) the Einsatzleiter (the leading police men) decided to send his troups into the demonstration, hurting them and taking people out and bring them into jail. We (me and friends) noticed this situation and together with other people moved between the police and the people who were attacked by them. In good, old peace movement way we stood our ground and shouted: Leave the demonstration alone,,,luckily the tide changed and a lot of people stopped to be scared and began to shout the same. This could have had escalated in a very bad way. So, why am I choose such a long winded example? I choose it, to make my point. Take a stand if you must, but do not bring more hate in the world, that is always and i say again from the core of my buddist heart the wrong way. Peace and Harmony And this is not directed at Propietrix (for me also things are black and white in my personal moral system and i also choose to associate (not always possible, sometimes there are surprises) only with people who share my belief of living your life open and honest. And it is not directed at feastie, because doing something wrong (like cheating) and understanding that it was wrong and sharing it on a public board, is not what i meant. I like to read both of your posts, by the way. I am not sure, that i could made myself clear here, maybe LadyZW can help me out:-).
