:thumbup: Same here, so happy you posted these statements

:thumbup:thumbup: Thanks for the reminder Ann.

Do you mean the quote in my siggie (I think that's what you're referring to :)? I just made that up today :p. The first half of it is from a conversation...the second half of it came from a movie that was talking about vengeance...but I like using the word "right" instead. You can use it anytime you like, whether I'm using it or not :)! It's yours :).

hey you are poet and you did not know it :)

I am loving all the quotes too. And, thank you Ann, for the reminder. Although, probably not his own quote, my dad used to tell me, there is good and bad within us all but it is up to us to decide which way we influence others, and allow ourselves to be influenced by others.

I thank everyone here for being kind:)

I too have not been on YT much lately. It was distressing to read all the bickering and shredding. I just cringed sometimes when I read an OP, not just because of what they wrote, but because I knew what was coming.

Thanks for the reminder, Ann. And thanks everyone else!

I'm glad that you brought this up
I could not agree more. I tried to bring this to light a few months ago. Some, of the comments on here are intentionally hurtful, and totally counter-productive. You ccannot educate through bullying.

Love this!:thumbup:

Kindness is the only emotion that will pass the test of time,
It will wear well and be well,
Long after the prism of politeness and the complexions of courtesy,
Have faded and passed away.

To be actively kind is a whole lot harder than first blush would presume.

To be kind is to encompass a wholeness of kindness, not only to the poster, but to our forum, and first to the four legged creatures, behind those posters.

To be kind is also to be kind to yourself, to nuture and support your beliefs and passions.

I will admit a few months ago a newbie joined the forum, she & I did not meet eye to eye on more than few things....my feathers were beyond ruffled!! Since then we have made it passed that point and have got along just fine. She realized my points and I realized hers! I do feel that at times I come off a bit strong on what I believe in and don't realize others might not be aware of points trying to be made. If we can all just be a little more compassionate on how we post, look at the amount of people we can help on a daily basis!:)

Will do thanks Ann.

I posted something on compassion a few days ago at a time when I was truly 'ticked off' and the thought crossed my mind to just quit the board. Then I decided to only focus on the people who tried to help others and not on those who were totally judgmental. It really made me feel better once I did it. But you have said it much better than me. And thanks for the use of your siggie. :-)
