...if that's the case
this place has been helpful to me for many years now - where has the time gone??
I like seeing these familiar names on this little site. Hi people of psychobabble!!! :-)
I don't feel like being critical. I'm not motivated to find a cause. I'm fighting to stay gentle with myself. If you look for the bad in people you will always find it.
(I am going to see how many cliche statements I can fit into this thread btw ;-)
The question I ask, usually to myself or to others, when they remain focused on criticism of others is "are you as critical of yourself as you are of other people?". Do you not realize the wisdom in the statement "take what you like and leave the rest"?
(Maybe it's poignant to me now because I am grieving so much, and trying to decide what to hold on to and what to let go of. What's "important" and what's not. I think to myself, "yeah, good luck with that".)I know this isn't a "yay dr bob" kind of thread, but thanks dr bob, for the energy you've put into it (that's if you're reading at this point!)
However, Dr Bob, the person, does not equal this site.eh, I can't presume to know other's intentions/motivations. Whatever they are, be well and take care.
