It's late, I'm tired, but I'll do my best to get this right.
This conversation has gone too far!
After reading the exchanges several times, I've come to this conclusion:
"Passing By," you are referring to old things that were not in any of Goth's recent posts. Nothing she said recently merits this kind of angry response. If you have points to make, they may have been lost due to the tone in which they were said. What I gather is you didn't want to find yourself responding this way, but couldn't help yourself. I urge to to step back from responding to Goth's posts for a while.
Whatever our shortcomings and inconsistencies, we are here to learn from each other, and we need a friendly atmosphere conducive to our healing.
Patience, friend!
There is no one answer for everyone.
We are all in flux, going through things in our personal lives, and we change and learn as we go. This flux has different rhythms for different people. In looking for answers for our lives, we sometimes end up with our repetitive mantras. This irritates the hell out of some, but is not necessarily a bad thing -- it is having a form of consistency necessary to our survival. After a time, if we have been consistent, we have the benefit of being able to look back to re-evaluate ourselves, our method, our way of being. So repetive mantras go with the territory. We ALL have them. We're all learning. Let's make room for each other.
Thanks for listening.
