What I think is most important of all is not to carry grudges and resentment from thread to thread. These kinds of patterns should be put in check when they arise. Otherwise, just talk people. We're just talking here. Not re-ordering the universe.  |
And that is what makes it most interesting when meeting people from here.
Because one has different opinions when you see them in real life you see the human being behind the text. I like the fact that I can disagree with real life friends that don't take offense to the whole tete a tete.
Again, it's all about respect, agreeing to disagree, and at the end of the day, letting it all go. Hopefully through all of that, maybe we get to learn something about someone else, ourselves, or things we thought we knew only to have our eyes opened to a different point of view you never thought you'd have.
