It appears that this board is suffering some problems. Imperfect people, touchy people, abused people, emotional people all coming together to unload their crap in a public forum for all to read. It's no wonder there is carnage everywhere. There are no simple answers to the complex problems that surface in our interactions with each other. We want to fix them, we try. But often we can't and don't fix these problems. Then frustration and irritation and impatience comes out. We become of intolerant of the differences of opinion and lash out at one another. But we don't have to agree with everyone about everything to know one thing...Love never fails. We can despise others opinions when they disagree with our views, but we can agree to have a very general agreement around "love never fails". At least this way, we don't deviate so much from the original intent of this board which is to help the survivors get better. We don't have to agree on this sect or that sect, just around the "love never fails" thing. I realize that I am being somewhat of an idealist and an optimist, but I think that all the people that come to these boards have value, if not to each other, to God. Let's try "love never fails". I'm afraid we are just wasting way too much valuable time with all the in-fighting. Learning to love while we are still on the earth may be the only thing that has any bearing on this life, and the next. Even if it means we have to love...each other. I think it is easy to get caught up in the hype of a good argument, but if you win the argument, you could lose a friend. All the strife will go away if we disengage it and let it pass. Love never fails.
