In reply to If It Were Only That Easy, posted by Fivefires on August 18, 2007, at 14:34:34
...the other one was a reply to your post to me under the title "Accomplished the goal," this one here was supposed to be under the title:
> "If It Were Only That Easy"
>
> Tks Glydin, for sharing your thoughts.
>
> Personally, in my negative financial position, I've NOT 'a life I feel at peace with' at this time.

> I'd always felt comfort in believing there were others here who shared the prior situation. But, now, I'm feeling may have been 'off the mark' in this assumption.

=== I don't know of course but I read Glydin's post as referring to your clip re Phillipa in the literal sense, meaning that time away may possibly be a helpful period of reflection for her.
> I am upset by the enormous focus, and some confusion, re: rules and regulations on the site, and upset at what feels like 'a challenge of intellect'.
>
> I feel as did when homeowner's association required me to submit my hummingbird feeder for inspection before allowing me to hang it outside my window.

=== So many things are being interpreted in such different ways from person to person, at times it's hard to know what's really being said or what the subject is at the moment! But can I ask frankly if in the above you mean me, or partly me?
Just because if so it might tie in well to some general POVs I've always wanted to share about things that happen on "debate" threads, other sources of hurt in them that many ppl may not have realized exist. I think it might also clarify my earlier posts, what and why I was saying whatever I was.And! In more straightforward terms. See, in trying to make sure I phrase things right, I dilute and pad and substitute and obscure the very point out of my point sometimes. If I ever sound like I'm trying to be intellectual, that in itself is probably where much of it comes from.
Anyway for now, suffice to say that if any of the 'challenge of intellect' feels like it is coming from me... Oh God forbid!! I don't at all enjoy competitive debating or debating for the sake of debating. Actually I wouldn't even go as far as to say I enjoy debating period.
All I do is express a heartfelt opinion, something that felt important to me to say. And at times that I believe could help simultaneously (and there are many kinds of help, not just the warm and fuzzy kind. Some of the most "helpful help" of all may call for introspection before any potential for help is even apparent. So if that effort is unappealing, then this kind of help may not seem very helpful on its surface lol!).
Anyway, even just expressing the things that feel important to me in itself drains me and eats up way more of my time than I should let it. So I shudder at the thought of adding to that by doing it just for the sake of doing it, or trying to "win" something.So nope, no intellect cup challenge being suggested here! ;-)
