Yes, and I appreciate Pastor Mike relating that if the United States had compassion, our troops would be in Darfur instead of Iraq. This is what we should be doing with our resources. |

Bravo! so then are you saying in effect, irregardless of parentage etc…we ARE all connected and need to work from that fame of reference? If so, I heartily agree and aim to do that in my own life… |

Great post, Cosmicbdog. If we could observe in ourselves why we feel anger, frustration, or sadness at how someone else is, or how someone else acts or talks, I think we'd then be able to use that negative emotion as a positive tool to seeing the flaws within our own philosophies, thoughts, and actions. There's a new Nine Inch Nails song out, and in one part of it, trent Reznor says, in different words, that he's tired of people not seeing themselves in George Bush, and not seeing how they were just as responsible for “manifesting” him into office as the people who physically voted for him…It's a very profound point that I just happened to catch, listening to it one day. it made me think: |

Cosmicdog, very interesting point about compassion and communication. You're right…if we talk down or up at someone; we may as well be talking through and around for all the good it does us. |
