I didn't know I created such a bustle in the hedgerow... ripple in the space time contium whathaveyou, I am become death, shatterer of worlds... (look that last one up if you dont know it, it's from a religious text)...
Also, have you read any Nietzsche?
> Fortunately, Dr. Bob has tried to establish a different sort of neighborhood here.
A neighborhood devoid of any yang, any darkness, even though darkness permeates most of our lives... We're encouraged to quelle our bad feelings and push them deep down inside us, where no one will ever see them... Many of us fight a lifetime's worth of feeling persecuted and attacked, we're trying our best to become strong and to stick up for ourselves, while at the same time we are given our shots of Thorazine and sent quietly off to spend time alone in our rooms.
> Without unneccessary conflict, I doubt I would be here. I would have never stumbled across a mental health site.
The conflict in my life has led to meeting many wonderful people, at least one of those is gone now... a conflict within itself, but I am so glad to have met that person that I would gladly bloodpin the badge of friendship over my heart, endlessly talking like the trees in the inferno.
Finally, even my best friends and I have rows, I got in a little spat w/ a special one recently, words were said, anger was experessed, but in the end we e-kissed and made up... Conflict is all around us, when we begin to accept it and deal with it head on, we win, when we sublimate it and pretend it doesn't exist, we are only fooling ourselves.
all of my best wishes to you.
