Why don't you explain it to us? You know how slow I am at reading and understanding!

Are you familiar with One To Grow On?

It was a quick cartoon on Saturday mornings with a moral message for kids.

GB's post reminded me of the show.

Who is "US"? Are you part of some sort of collective?

Second pass. What a terrific phrase... shall use it in the future, giving due credit, with your permission.

Just my bad grammar us ='s me!

You know by now I speak for myself, not for a group, although I have been known to speak up for individuals, when I feel they are being picked on. Of course that is left up to interpretation.

I'm sure something very similar has been said many, many times over. no permission required.

I think you should have left the "wood" part off of your name, it would have suited you much better. 😛

Assuming you are finished, I would love to take you up on the questions:

1. What was the motivation for your statement on moral courage?
2. Why was it not included in the post?
3. What is the point of these affirmations? Is it merely to initiate some kind of mundane discussion on the topic or is there a veiled message to be received?
4. Why do you hate pronouns so much?

(You can skip the last one if you like)

1. Media related. Quite difficult not to notice how sadly lacking the virtue of moral courage is and how much it's been replaced by expediency.

Thread simply reflected what was on my mind this morning. 2. In part to minimize the thread's length, as well as to avoid pablum feeding my

few friends, knowing my many detractors would choke on it either way. 3. To awaken and kindle a renewed interest in this durable character

quality. 4. Love pronouns, so much so that I reserve them for proper time and place. I also value concision, my limp prose notwithstanding.

Don't you think you should be telling him that? Because I sure do...guess it boils down to that interpretation thingy.

For telling GB he's welcome to use the quote he inquired about?

Thanks for the earnest response. I apologize for being so aggressive. From my limited time reading these forums, it seemed that the paradoxical gentle aggression was the natural tone here. Apparently my rendition is not welcome and is irksome to some users; for this I apologize.

I'll go back to playing chess now and leave you all to your sandbox. I have other sandboxes anyway. The internet is a big place, after all.

I am going to stand up right now and say something. I like Bob's thoughtful posts. I just wish I could have coffee with him and talk about all the insights he has learned over the years. He has lived life to its fullest with no regrets, takes garbage many times a day on these threads from people that don't have as much sense as he does in his little finger. He is my friend and I am proud to say it. Now you youngsters can hurl your mud and foul language and "put downs" to your hearts' content, and just leave him alone for awhile! Skip his meditations if they annoy you, and let the rest of us mull them over. They would do you some good.
