Hi warngen,
Good for you.
I think to offend people is natural as we are all different and have different views, cultures and ideas. This can be more so through translation, as a lot of the people on the forum use English as a second, or even third language, and have certain limitations as to how they can express themselves. I have this problem over here in Brazil, where at times I cannot understand the reasoning of a person, nor can I express to them exactly how I feel, as I could if I were speaking to an English person in English.
but there's one thing I truely beleive, that good friendships are often born from a good discussion, argument, insult, call it what you will. The 'offend' moment passes, but we remain, move on and live together.
Best regards,
Steve

Right now, I am in a season of learning, and have not been acting like I should. Also I would like to apologize for being hypocritical on the note that: I share with others, that we call "sleeping", the fact that love and only love is what we should focus on and give to all.
I have been guilty to not do this most of the time, although I do catch myself often and correct myself.
If I am telling others to love everyone else, regardless of who they are, and not practice what I preach, aren't I just as much in deep sleep as those who haven't had the opportunity or choose not to accept love as the way? (hypothetical question)
I feel like I should make this statement public, for I know I have disappointed, and angered some people, and possibly put shame to our "group" if you will.
Thank you for your time.  |
