And that, Emily ^^ --- is exactly what I was referring to in my post two minutes ago.
Yes
Pogo and the only way to undo unforgiven essential is by forgiveness. Piling more unforgiveness on top, only tightens the knot. The process requires loosening the ropes not pulling them tighter and tighter. We need both left and right hands to loosen the strings to untie these knots.
I don't suppose you're saying I should "forgive" a post that continues to dig the hole deeper, so that he never learns anything and continues to dig.
Hey, I'm just pointing out that that's what he's doing.
You forgive the person so you can stay clear minded and find the right approach to fix the problem causing people to do this. It helps
Pogo to have the same commitment to correcting wrongs as being complained about. Then you have credibility and people respect and listen. We can't be in denial of the wrongful abuses done by Democrats in the name of party politics before Constitutional duty to all people not just their party.
Oh well I have nothing to "forgive" since I didn't condemn. I just noted what he's doing.
As the saying goes, "if you see something say something".
Yes
Pogo that's the right way and most effective: to offer correction without hostile judgment and to respect people as you want them to respect you. You are already more forgiving than most by not passing judgment or assuming the worst. You will be more successful in influence by taking the positive route to building solutions and correcting problems in this way that respects relationships and trust the truth will prevail.
I'm sure you see it and say it a different way, but that's my description of how and why what you are doing works better in the longrun. Thanks!
