@kevin-eleven saidThanks, I do appreciate that I was worried๐.
It is, and some of us are talking back to the guy who started that thread.

Maybe they were not 'fake' at all but a misplaced optimism for the human spirit
I don’t think so. It’s hard to change or see when this starts at birth in your own trusted environment/geography. This is how I’ve looked at people from a very young age. At first I’m sure as a child it was in efforts to understand people and their hells to move forward. I will say I have many perceived reasons to hate or be angry (long term) but with this thought process I don’t hate or hold anger towards anyone??
@mike69 saidI feel bad for people who have to spend Christmas by themselves.
Yes
Contrary to popular belief I do have a heart.

I think your a kind good hearted person.
I know we didn't get off to a good start, but we straightened all that out in quick order.

@mike69 saidIf we really could simply and quickly change our mindsets would we exist at all? If I could be a completely different person tomorrow, then somebody else the next day, then I have no real personality at all. The stubbornness with which we stick to our own way of being is fundamental to our existence in my opinion.
Do we see our individual thoughts, judgements, and choices as being correct and logic for all.
Is this clarity of inward and outward opinions and views of others and life reality for all or just individually formed due to where, how we were raised and our life experiences in all directions?
If we really could change our mindsets to acceptance, love and working together ...[text shortened]... rse and would we see our true selves at the same time.
I'm Just curious of thoughts nothing else.

@relentless-red saidI was going to write something along those lines but in a more abstract way, involving arbitrary, transitory condensations and configurations -- okay, maybe it wouldn't have been anything like your post at all.

@relentless-red saidI’m sorry, in my mind you only hit ff and play there are other buttons for individual processing and deeper understanding.

@kevin-eleven saidIt had to stubbornly take on it's own form in order to exist??
