One of the most toxic things for me who enjoys relatively good health at age 78 is reading the terrible way people treat one another on S.I. on various political threads. I cannot understand why there is not more tolerance for an other's political opinion if it does not agree with yours. Instead there is labeling and putting someone in a box and throwing darts. So I am learning to stay away from those vitriolic posts and trying to explain my position as it comes mostly from life experiences which many posters on threads have not shared with me. We are products sometimes not so much of our rearing as the course our life took and what we witnessed and became integrated into who we finally become. There is that curious part of me who wants to know what other's think and the stand that he or she is taking but it's poison to the mind. Your approach in some ways might seem like insulating oneself from the horrors to the world that are minuscule on S.I. and there are horrors but why buy into them. I have a friend who is ill who meditates and does chanting. She does not even turn on the TV for any news. She is Jewish and very upset with how the world is going for Jews and how Israel itself is so divided. With peace in her heart she once said to me we should just kill all the Arabs... The incongruity I do not understand. One must become what one believes... or suffer poor health. Your posts are most rewarding and I hope that some other's on the threads view them and take them under consideration for implementation into their own lives as I intend to do.
