The best thing to give your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to a child, a good example; to a father deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

Yes. This is what it's all about. So hard to live this way, but worth the effort for the peace it provides.
Thanks
Just wanted to clear up something. My post today about the VA said that VA employees would be required to take the course. Mr Pop is a veteran but he doesn't work for the VA, so he is not required to take the course.
Mr Pop is a marine biologist.
Just didn't want to mislead you :)
very nice.Are you missing beth and moral as much as I am
apparently, i am on a role today. guess that explains the interest in turtles :) yes- beth and moral are sorely missed. the one liners sure do ease tension out in the blogosphere.
That's an excellent distilled piece of wisdom. Learning to try and see your opponents humanity is always a good discipline. The struggle is to try and not objectify people who you find disagreeable.
Thanks for sharing :-)
